Yes - I had an unexplained large gain and did panic a little, but this is a reminder to us all the body does strange things sometimes so we just need to keep at it. I don't think I have done anything particularly different this week, but am relieved its down again - who knows though tomorrow it could be up again.

All, have a great xmas and new year and a very well done to all of you. I am so proud of us all.

I will be back in 2011 though with whip in hand!!
 
I am dreading the weigh-in tonight! the more I tell myself not to eat the naughty food the more it calls to me and I just have to answer!!

It is Christmas but I overdosed on offices choccies yesterday and actually felt quite ill in the evening. No sympathy from my friends though especially when I managed a chocolate from the latest "thank you" box!!! We have our departmental lunch today when the Secret Santa presents are exchanged and this lunch is always pizza, crisps, mince pies, nuts, and other stuff I shouldn't eat. I want to be there for the atmosphere and the exchanging of presents but am hoping I will be strong enough to ignore the food and go upstairs to the canteen and eat proper food. Weigh in tonight - I am telling myself to be happy if I have put on less than 6lbs.

Good luck for tonight Margb xx
 
Hi Marg, if you have gained a lot this week, it will come off quickly. Its Christmas - enjoy it and worry about those gained pounds in the new year, when I will be around with the whip!!
 
Well done Harry! Three stone in three months - I have visions of you shrinking inside your clothes like that scene in Big.

Well, with the diagnosis of diabetes and trying to lose weight I unfortunately took my eye off the fibre content of my food and have truly suffered over Christmas for it. Took me a few days to realise what was going on and so glad I did not go to A&E on Christmas Eve to have the pain checked out. Once I twigged what it was and why the pain got worse as they day wore on and then 'disappeared' around 2am I have been eating beans, wholemeal toast, brown rice. No idea what that will do to my weight.

Oh, I put on a pound last week which was better than I expected. Let's see what happens on Thursday.
 
WOW Harry whats the secret lol
 
Well done Harry - it shows what we can do if we put our minds to it. I lost 3 stone 8lbs since June by changing my eating and diet ways! I feel much better for it, although gained a little in the xmas month!!

I need to really go for it next year to shift a similar amount, so maybe we can support one another and anyone else that needs it, through the next 6 months? Well done again. I bet it has made a difference to your HBA1C!
 
Well I didn't manage to get down to fourteen stone as I had planned (hoped!) but, I am still hovering around the fifteen stone mark after going up to fifteen and a half. So, although not best pleased with myself, I am relieved that my weight didn't end up as bad as I thought it was going to. 🙂 Merry Crimbo everyone and a Happy New Year!
 
Hey Jimbo - lovely to hear from you. Well done in keeping the weight down. I know things have been difficult so thats a great accomplishment!
Hope to see you in the WLG in the new year even if just to keep an eye on it for a while so things don't get too out of hand.

I am looking forward to 2011 to get back on it. Not sure why I have to wait though!
 
.5 off amazing! so

9st 12.5lb total
 
MargB - how on earth? At Christmas that is absolutely fantastic!
Well done you star!
 
Being ill works wonders!!!! Not recommended though!

And, I was wearing jeans so they probably count for a pound.

Anyway, think the weight loss total has got lost somewhere so have had a look back and it was last 12st 9lbs so now

12st 9.5lbs
