Onwards And Downward: Christmas Edition

[AB Editor]

Hello!

Apparently I have neglected you, unlike my waistline which I have been enhancing with all the seasonal treats.

Here's the previous issue: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Weight-Loss-and-Dieting/Question1520066.html

And the one before: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body-and-Soul/Weight-Loss-and-Dieting/Question1511988.html

Anyone in freefall for the festive period? I've upped the number of long distance runs I can do, but the desire of a little nibble and a hearty dinner will probably get the best of me until boxing day.

How about you?

[xstitcher]

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. I forgot again......tomorrow......

[Old_Geezer]

Up another 1 lb !
Prior to Christmas, I need this like I need a hole in the head :-(

[xstitcher]

My sympathies OG.

[wendilla]

Me too OG AND EXSTITCHER .I hang my head in shame . Should not have opened that tin of sweets .

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, ho ho ho I'm down so turkey stuffing here I come.

Oh wendella, what can I say.........it's Christmas, enjoy it. On Monday 2 January we will start trying hard again.

[xstitcher]

Good morning to those that are here during the holiday season. My present to myself was to go down one pound. It's been a steady small loss all week. I'll be over the moon if this keeps up.

[Old_Geezer]

Good for you, you are doing well. I shan't be near scales for weeks though. Maybe just as well this Xmas/New Year period.

[xstitcher]

Weeks OG ???

[Old_Geezer]

Yeah. Well things falling on Sundays means I won't be back until at least the 9th Jan. Saves driving hundreds of miles to return for a few days then back to where I was again. Happens when one's no longer living at town of one's origin and close friends & most family are still there.

[wendilla]

pass

[Old_Geezer]

That sounds ominous !

[wendilla]

I don't want a shock OG . I will be ok for next week I hope . Enjoy your break .

[xstitcher]

Good morning all and a very happy new year! I'm delighted to say that I'm the lowest I've been all year. I credit it to laziness. I just can't be bothered to make big lunches or dinners and I've given myself orders....no seconds....but fresh fruit for afters. It seems to be working.

I hope that you are returning with your usual positive outlook Wendilla and your deep look at the whys and wherefores OG. All the best for success in 2017.....Onwards and Downwards......

I hope the Ed doesn't forget us again hint hint!

[xstitcher]

I mean I'm the lowest I've been in the last 365 days.

[Old_Geezer]

Congrats x.
I'm still nowhere near scales this week, but the amount of sat fat and stuff I'm presently consuming suggests I'm in for a shock when I'm back in the normal routine.

[xstitcher]

Good morning all....woops naughty step for me and well deserved too. I guess now and then we just get tired of being "good" and that was me last week. I went on a bun rampage.......any type of bun would do. I went up the 2 lbs I recently lost........lovely memories though!

[wendilla]

My son has just dropped his dog off for the day and I have given him a tin of chocolates . I wonder why ? So get the kettle on xstitcher at the naughty step .So hard to get back to normal healthy eating .OG .

[Old_Geezer]

Was first 'back to normal' day yesterday. Was at target and thought I'd make it, but became peckish right at the end and went over with a slice of bread & Marmite and a sugar free squash. I'll weigh myself in a short while but yesterday found I'd gone up just 0.2 lbs over the Xmas/New Year period: probably because I went up so much just beforehand that there was nowhere left to add further weight.

[Old_Geezer]

Turns out I've lost, over the last 24 hours, the 0.2 lbs I gained over Xmas.

So why do I feel so large and uncomfortable then ?

[Old_Geezer]

Oh ! Tell a lie (inadvertently). I lost 0.4 lbs so have started to correct the pre-Xmas rise already.
