Onwards and Downwards January 2012

Happy New Year to all of you and well done to everyone!!

I will be making no mention of how everyone may have slipped up over the festive season (including myself) but, instead, can anyone think of one positive thing about January to help us get over one of the most difficult months of the year.

Here is last months thread

[boxtops]

I have to finish eating the chocolates first, to remove the temptation - and the log - and my birthday cake - and the stollen....

[xstitcher]

The main thing is that we are all here again and just by weighing yourselves today proves that the will to loose is alive and well. So whether we have put on or lost we are all pulling together and WE CAN DO IT

Thanks Wendilla and too right xstitcher, we will get there. Step away from the cake boxy, now come on put it all in the bin. You know you don't really want it.

[wendilla]

It goes back to the old saying .If you don't buy it you can't eat it. Chocs and cakes and all things nice . If I have it in fridge I will eat it but don't bother me if it is not there. Yes Boxtops I could not start till I gave what was left to my kids .I can't stand waste. Got to eat it rather than throw it .

[xstitcher]

The first thing I did today was throw out the turkey gravy that was left over, knowing if I didn't I wouldn't have the will power to not have bread and gravy....you should see my halo shining now...... lol

I was doing so well until yesterday when my mum turned up with 2 tubs of Ben & Jerry's choc fudge brownie! She said she got them as they were half price. Grrrrrrrr!

[xstitcher]

Hi Tiger.....put mum on the naughty step !!

[tiggerblue10]

She's been there all night Xstitcher! Lol

Well, I registered back with Slimming World on Tuesday my first day didn't go too bad. Mucked up the Healthy options so ended up with more syns than I should have had but only 17 ( I usually try to keep to about 10) but you are allowed between 5 and 15. I will try harder today. Well done to those who managed to be good over Christmas....I didn't and haven't been since back in November. So New Year and a new start for me.

Happy New Year to you all. Jools x

Not so good at SW this week.Put on 2 and half pounds. After doing so well Xmas week, Im so annoyed with myself although I know its not all because of binge eating. Ive been slopping around a bit with my cold. Get thee behind me and lets start the new year again !!

[rowanwitch]

last odds and ends went into work ...only a tiny piece of christmas cake left but its un iced and unsweetened so is there for emergencies... filled up the fridge with fruit and veg.... massive soup making session planned for this evening...

[xstitcher]

My goodness we are active on this site at the moment. It's really great to read all the comments.

[xstitcher]

Good Weigh in Morning....Well I knew it, last weeks reading was too good to be true. Today is my last going out for lunch and then the serious proper eating can begin for all meals...oh that piece of b'day cake was good on Sunday and aaaargh I'm paying for it today.
I hope the rest of you will be coming in with results that will put me to shame.

[wendilla]

Braved the scales this morning . 4lb gain from before xmas. Xstitcher you and I both on the naughty step. Get rid of that Food Tempting Devil and keep with the good Healthy Fairy. Xmas food all gone now so no excuse.

[Old_Geezer]

Hmmm... scales again. This morning they claimed I'd lost 2⅜ lbs over the last week, but since 1⅜ lbs of it seems to be over the last 24 hours, that may be suspect. I was late waking up today, and so had no time for multiple 'check' weighings. Next week's will clarify I guess.

[xstitcher]

You do bring a smile to my face OG I think you must be a very, very precise person...

[JoolsTwo]

First weighin last night and I'm down 2.5lbs A little disapointed that it wasn't more. I have always lost more the first week before and I was very good all week, still it was down so going in the right direction.

Well done to everyone who managed to lose and just don't give up.

Good luck for the coming week.

Spurs will be top of the league by the end of it

[Old_Geezer]

Are spurs trying to lose weight then ? Who's racing them to lose the first ton ?

[Jan1957]

I am still in shock! Weighed in this morning and lost 9lb!!!!! Yes, I have double checked the scales and they are ok. I know I haven't been well this week with this cough and cold and just been eating fruit and soup but am absolutely amazed. Very pleased too as it means 3 stone 9lb lost now. Really gives me incentive to carry on.
