    Wish I'd left my weigh in declaration til today! What with all- fruit Thursday, can't be ar5ed Friday(nightmare day in hospital with dad), followed by a pick- your- own bits from the Christmas food dinner yesterday, somehow I've lost more, how is that possible? (There was a lot of cheese straws/ marzipan fruits/ after eights consumed last night)
    Total loss over this challenge is now 2.6 lbs, and I've woken up with a raging sore throat and runny nose, just in time for Christmas- great! Oh well, swings and roundabouts.
    Happy Christmas eve everyone x

    Merry Christmas all! I might not have reached my target weight, but I couldn't eat my usual big plateful of Christmas dinner so I think my tummy has certainly shrunk :D
    Have a wonderful day and good luck for the next challenge!

    Got some scales for Christmas, weighed today and the damage seemed to be minimal. It's hard to say exactly what I weighed before because of the different scales used, but I may have STS.

    (When I weighed myself last night though it was a completely different story!)
