Way to Go Dusty
Well Done
🙂
 
I intend to wrap up my year's challenge next week,with my final weigh-in being Tuesday 19th.
I think the final day of the challenge could be Friday 22nd. - before the Xmas season torpedoes us all!🙄 Then we can all start again in January,new sheet for all,no matter what happened this year. As Vince says,onwards and upward - or should it be downward?
Anyone who weighs less now than they did at some point during the year,even if only a few pounds,is welcome to share their losses with us. After all,weight loss in the face of diabetes can be a damned hard struggle when your own body sabotages you with insulin, that famous facilitator of fat storage!😱 ......😡
Every pound lost is a victory! So share with us,even if you never formally joined the challenge,or began late in the year,like Vince.And those stalwart people who are actually just maintaining are welcome to come and give themselves a pat on the back for doing so. Actually there is no such thing as ''just' 'maintaining,it is an heroic achievement.Maintainers are heroes in my eyes.
Dont know what happened to the people who started off this challenge at the start of the year,hope some of them will pop in.
And those who have put weight on? Come and we will condole and commiserate with you. We are all in this together.Hey,you still have a week in which to lose at least a pound! It would still count 😛
So post your results during the week ending 24th,then we can all go off and enjoy Xmas in a mindful way and come back in January ready for a fresh campaign,in a new challenge.

My Weight this week has plateaued it would appear and moves between 83.4 and 83.6 kgs
I will get there in the end I know.
It's cold and I think we are allowed to eat a little more in the cold weather.:D
Overall, I am content with my loss so far.
 
Lost 1 lb this week. Bit disappointed,I worked quite hard and thought it would be a little more .Oh well,I am counting this as my end of 2017 challenge,though I will attend class next week and face the music. 🙄
I have tried to avert some temptation this year by drastically cutting out the stuff I normally get for Xmas tea. Waste of time anyway,all my usual 8-10 guests are stuffed from the Xmas dinner,are drinking their alcohol from their goodie bag and are just uninterested really. Huge amounts of chocs,sweets,cakes and buns and sandwiches are often left over - take a guess who always ate it all over the next few days:(
Thats a total no-no this year,so I have cut down,and intend to use the £20 saved to reward myself for my weight loss this year with a couple of books I really want.:D

MY STATS
Pre Slimming World:starting BMI - 40

@Dusty48
A LOSS is still a LOSS Dusty
Mine has been up anddown like a yoyo this week
You're doing great
I would be happy with weight stability at this time of year.
 
Evening all :D
Dusty has just dragged me back :D
I am still doing SW and got my 4 1/2 stone award last week😛 , took me 38 weeks :D :D
I stayed the same this week even though i have been on plan, no doubt i will be a 1lb or 2 on this coming week although i am only planning having Christmas day off plan😱
I have 9lb to lose too target, i want this done and dusted by mid feb if possible as dont want to pay anymore:D then its maintaining, giving me a total loss of 5 st 2 lb

Well done @goosey! That's a great achievement for the year 🙂 Choose your treats with care and you'll be fine, I'm sure - have a great time 🙂
 
Well this morning I was 82.8 kgs down from 98 Sept 29th that is 15.2 kgs shedded 2.4 stone in English money.
Don't think I will hit my revised Target of 82 kgs by Christmas and I doubt by New Year, maybe mid Jan.
I am not going to sulk about it I am more than happy with my figures and really it has not been to difficult, I am still eating a proverbial horse🙂
