I decided to weigh in today rather than my usual Wednesday WI and was really happy with 1.5lb loss for a short week 😁 i just need to not go too mad before the end of year
Roundtuit that's some incentive to not overeat over Christmas, but even ifyou don't you've done fantastic this year medal 🥇 🥇🥇🥇🥇

I have also weighed in today. Minus 1/2 lb.
Almost minus 1lb but not quite
I am really going to try and lose more once tomorrow is over. I won't have leftover food because I am not cooking tomorrow. I plan to try some new healthy dishes before going back to work.4 -
I just wanted to pop in and say that I hope you've all had a fantastic Christmas! I didn't weigh in this week as we were so busy but I'll be on the scales Monday ready for my starting weight for January.LBM in April 17 - Starting card debt £33554

The best laid plans and all that....whistling nonchalantly 😙.
My sister in law made me a Christmas cake. I'm in the process of eating it. Plus the chocolate and biscuits that I was given from Christmas have to be eaten.
I've made an executive decision that I'm not calorie counting til they're gone. And I'm not getting weighed tomorrow.
I'm resting on my laurels and will rejoin you on January 6th. And start again from where I am.
It's a plan
