    yes, well done @Brambling for sticking with it this late in the year! Thank you! :)

    I put on 1/4 of a Ib this week (and there isnt a smiley for that!LOL). Not bothered....I had a take away so large that I had to order from 2 different places and ate so much crap in general, not my finest hour!
    TBH though I have things coming up with friends and family and Im not going to diet my way through them.
    Luckily I have 12days off work starting Jan 1st so I figure I'll relax abit now and reset next year!

    Really encouraging to see the losses Brambling and Leftatthetrafficlights. Well done!

    Food today:
    Avocado on 1x granary toast
    Spaghetti Bolognese with a sprinkling of cheddar.
    4x crackerbread & 4 ritz with a little Ginger and mango wensleydale (Morrisons)

    Snacks - A small tin of Del Monte pineapple rings

    The pineapple works out  as a very economical treat at just 50p a tin as Morrisons is selling them @2 for £1.  The larger tins are 2 for £1.50 so I may be missing a trick. They really do taste delicious.

    Morning all xx 

    Monday morning weigh in revealed + 0.5 lb. 

    I'm surprised it's not more to be honest. Some old bad habits creeping back in eg snacking in the evenings.

    Well done to those who are feeling motivated 👏.  I'll just creep back  into my cave and hibernate 😴 And 🤐 to prevent snacking.

    Morning all,

    Happy to report a 6 1/2 lb loss today.   :D  That was a nice start. 

    Snacking is the trickiest bit isn't it, Roundtuit. Still, 1/2lb gain is more of a maintain than a gain in my book. Especially if you've enjoyed some extra bits.  ;)

    Food today:
    2 x Marmalade on wholemeal toast.
    Tuna pizza, salad and a little aioli dressing
     
    Snacks - satsumas and pineapple rings
