    I snuck in with a 1lb gain this week joining the sea of purple and tears!  I weighed on Wednesday and planned to claw it back by the 25th, so far that's not working nor helped by the amount of 'naughty' food where I volunteer on Friday ihad forgot the perils of being in a office environment in December.  

    Have a great weekend everyone and hopefully you can avoid the shops

    Full of cold in our house now so no point doing my food plans as no idea what I fancy to eat. Never good because picky food is the real danger. Will pop in for my weigh in Monday whatever it brings as you all are so brave to report whichever way the scales go.  :)

    Well I forgot to last post last week but its;
    STS last week then,
    lost 1Ib.

    Im happy with that as there have been a few christmas treats and Im def not as active as usual (thank goodness the days will start getting longer from now on!).
    Last year I strictly dieted through christmas but this year Im at goal(ish) so Im going to throw myself off the wagon and enjoy myself!  :D Apparently most people put on between 0.5-2Ibs over christmas and I can live with that if it means I can eat cake and chocolates!

    So Happy Christmas, hope you have a good one and I'll see you all next year! :)

    Morning all xx 

    Monday morning weigh in revealed - 0.5 lb. 

    My aim is to lose half a pound over Christmas week so that I can start 2025 weighing 50 pounds less than I started 2024. I do like round numbers. 

    Merry Christmas everyone

    After recording an increase last Thursday, I had gone down a bit this morning. Hopefully it will hold out until tomorrow.
