Monday 10th December weigh in.

Just going to nip to the loo first, every little helps

Glass how is your Mum? I do hope all is well.

whenI and Jodi well done for those losses, it is so hard at this time of year. Also Bez as there are so many temptations with so much going on socially. Sba I know what it is like as I put on a pound a couple of weeks ago because of too many parties and I think it is worth having fun without worrying about what you eat, especially when you don't have much to lose.

I will put my loss/gain on next week too for my own benefit and then want to carry on in January. I will most certainly need to as we have family coming for Christmas and going away for New Year so it will one long eatfest. I am still filling the freezer with food and have to make more mince pies and biscuits so temptation will be high.

Sorry I still cannot contribute to the overall loss but, despite so many eating events this week, I have lost another pound! That leaves me one more to go until I am back to where I was before I went on holiday. It would be great if I could start Christmas having lost it but there is a lot going on this week too.

I finally got DH on MFP nearly 3 weeks ago and he has lost 10 lbs! Where can I get some testosterone??

I am still about the same for the last couple of weeks - now back in UK and am using DD scales - they are not digital like mine so more difficult to see exactly!! However here we are all aiming at eating less and getting a bit trimmer!!

Great to see people on this thread making good progress - well done to everyone. Those like me finding it more difficult - nil desperandum and all that - today is a new start (again!).

Welcome back Glass, hope all is well and Mum on the mend.
I had TWO Christmas meals out last week plus a fish and chip supper - this resulted, unsurprisingly, in a two pound gain - 152.8lbs yesterday so I am sorry to start the week with a gain folks!
I would have liked to have been around ten and a half stone in time for Christmas to give myself room to spoil myself a bit, but as long as I stay under the 154lb or 11stone mark I will be satisfied. I am off to my third Christmas meal at lunchtime today - then that's it until the big day - mine were all unusually early this year.
I have the rest of the week to put today right
I will probably weigh myself as normal on the Sundays around Christmas and report in on the Monday thread just to keep myself focussed but please don't lumber yourself with all the maths and stats Glass! You have enough to do.
Yes please, from me too, re carrying on next year - My target weight is around 147lbs so I am so very nearly there - I expect to go up a bit over Christmas?New Year as we are going away for new year but I intend to get it gone again - that is when I will need to keep focussed - to keep it off!!!
Good luck to everyone else this week - for Glass and Mum

Diet not duet!!!

Reporting another 1/2 pound off. The scales hovered back and forth for ages before settling and I was hopeful it would be a whole pound, but no!

However...I'm now on holiday for two weeks, and this week coming I'm stepping things up duet wise. I've only myself to cook for so I'm hoping for a whole pound off next week at the least.

Hope your mum's doing well glass ?

glass I think this has been an excellent thread, and although I don't contribute much, I certainly keep an eye on it as it helps me to remain aware of my health and fitness.
I'd love to see it back next year.

Hope your Mum's still doing well glass. Yes please, let's start again next year - some of us need all the help we can get! Don't know if I would count as a gain or a loss; at 64.4kg I'm 200g up on my first weigh-in in September but 400g down on 2 weeks ago. Not that worried just now as there is a lot going on in the family, but it's nice to know that there are others struggling with extra bits of body that they don't want! The swimming is fun anyway.
