    Festive greetings to you all!

    My hermit lifestyle and lack of mince pies (and appetite) has meant I'm -2.

    So, it may be time to consider trying on new trousers. :D

    Have a splendid holiday season.

    I'm pleased to announce that altogether I've lost 1lb in total this challenge. (Well, at some time over the weekend I have, according to the scales, so I'm sticking with that!)
    Can't remember if this is the last week, Knitwitch, but no doubt I'll be back in the New Year.
    In case I forget, happy Christmas everyone and may you all get lots of nice things and a calorie free dinner ! x

    Well, I try to be honest.....so, yes, I am eating....lots and have gained very quickly. I had a birthday party too and everyone brought chocolate, cake or both and wine....and I've just got in from another party.
    I did go to the gym today.
    I will have a think about necessary vs realistic goals for the next challenge and try to reduce the increase....
    Seasonal Greetings to you all.

    I am going to do my last weigh in of the year tomorrow. I have had a quick hop on the scales to check how things are going and very much dislike what they said! I have been doing extra exercise today and yesterday to try and undo the damage.

    I will come clean, there seems to have been a 3 pound increase in a matter of days, and as much as I would like to tell myself it is muscle I think it is more likely to have been the booze and mince pies.

    Whatever the scales say tomorrow I will accept, and I will happily join the next challenge, I have a L O N G way to go.
