That's great thanks. That's exactly why I'm going back tonight as I'm hoping it'll keep me on track over Xmas as well!
I think you're doing yourself a great favour by going back now! I joined WW in the last week of November last year, and like you, I did feel a bit silly going up to the leader so close to Christmas, but to be honest I came out so much better the other side of Christmas. I still enjoyed the food, but sensibly with my new found knowledge, drank quite a bit Stephens' and New Years but still managed to lose over those 2 weeks off! I can remember going out for walks those few days after Christmas with hardly any cars on the roads and those that were, were full of families on their visiting trips, so yeah I'd say being in that right frame of mind will definately do you more good than anything else, so best of luck with it!
Hey everyone. WI in the morn. Expect (and fully deserve) a disaster, as I haven't tracked a bit since last wk. have been reasonably good with exercise though.
Got an email from my leader yesterday. Classes back on jan 2nd, as its a Wednesday class. I only miss one week over Christmas. Hurrah. Hopefully 2013 will be my year to get to goal!
The best thing you can do is face up to it, so well done you! Are all classes back that early? I'm hoping I'll go back that week then and not put it off!0 -

I suppose it depends on your leader. Some of them might want the week off. Monday and Tuesday classes won't be back Tom the following week, but from wed the 2nd, normal working days resume, so were business as usual!!0 -
Hi folks, just home from WI and down 1.5 so very happy! Same again next week would get me that next silver 7 by xmas which would be fab! I have 6 exams in the next 10 days though, so i have no time for exercise, and will-power is generally quite low! Gonna try be as good as possible but have to give my exams priority! Great to know classes are back so early, i always weigh on a Tuesday but ill hopefully find a different one to go to that Wednesday to get back into the routine as soon as possible! Best of luck in the week ahead!

Have had so much on and been finding it hard to get motivation but when I hit my 50lbs I said I would actually be happy to maintain that until xmas and for after. I'm at 50.5lbs down now so if i could lose a little more this week then I have a buffer for the week over xmas.
My meeting is a tuesday so will be off for 2 weeks but I think i am going to find an alternative meeting to go to the week after xmas for damage control!
Well done that's a fantastic achievement 0 -

For anyone who likes noodles with stir frays etc i bought the marks and Spencer's ones last weekend and when I point 1 nest of them theyre only 2pp! Great pp value at dinner! The sharwoods ones i used to eat were 6pp per nest!0 -

Its only day 2 of my new week and I can already feel that this is gonna be a tough week! Yesterday, came home and my mother decided to crack open a lovely tin of quality street and place them in a santa basket in the kitchen on full show, was VERY tempted when I can in from work but resisted. Then today in work I was offered celebrations twice during the course of the day for someones birthday AND there were a tin of heroes offered around aswell as a plate of chocolate biscuits, to make it harder, I was the first in so I could have had my pick of either without looking like a pig, but again, I just about managed to resist.. THEN! Went over to my OHs house and he literally shoved a square of chocolate in my face and said to have some as I had been so good, I resisted.. Sat down then to watch TV and he decided to make a massive bowl of popcorn for two, but I refused knowing if I started I wouldnt stop. FINALLY the OHs dad came in and offered my a mini magnum, again I somehow mustered the will power to say no! I don't think I've ever had so many nice things offered to me in one day, it was tough, and annoying, because I would have loved every bit of everything I was offered! But the way I see it is, its only gonna get worse the closer to Christmas it gets so I might as well try my best to be good now, while i can! Rant over, sorry!
Thanks for the recipe ccseli, it looks delish, and congrats on the great news, its a great achievement!
Well done everyone else on your losses, its great to get them before Christmas!
Taz, you have some serious will power. Care to send some of it this way
Well done 0 -

I would love some as well! Hope unislim is going well. You shouldn't be afraid to post your results as you have been a long time poster on this thread! I personally would love to know how you're getting on 0 -

To the above comments, I had a teeny bit of chocolate cake today so don't think I'm all that great! One of the women from work is leaving so there was some cake to say adieu. What ever about being a chocolate fiend, my biggest weakness is cakes and other such baked goods, just couldnt say no!
Eabhabear are you referring to me about posting results and being on unislim? If so, I'm not doing unislim, i've decided to see the year out with WW!0 -

Sorry meant Monife She was a long time poster here but decided to switch to Unislim to shake things up a bit.
Over the course of 2 days though you did really well. If you think about it, it could have been a handful of sweets, popcorn and the cake. At least its only the cake and to be honest that's what making WW adjust into your life is about!0 -

It went well for a couple of weeks. Lost about 8lb in 2 weeks and since then I have taken a flying cartwheel off the wagon. I am the person who turns one bad choice/day into a bad week/month! So, I am ashamed to say I have gained a stone in 2 months. I have decided to go back to WW classes in January if I have a job by then.
I am being let go next Friday so I suppose that is part of the reason I have gained so much weight, stress eating. Have had a good few interviews but nothing is secured yet.
Always lurking seeing how everyone is getting on even though I am failing miserably...0 -

Sorry to hear about the job. Hopefully something will come your way soon. I can relate to the turning a bad day into a bad month and putting back on a stone and a half. Hopefully you can go back as it wasn't until I went back that I realised how much I need it. It's difficult so close to Christmas but maybe you could even try just eating healthily. It might help put you in a positive mind frame. You'll always have support here if need be 0 -
Happy Friday all!
I lost 4lbs this week with 5/2 and WW and spinning. Variety is the spice of life they say. I am absolutely over the moon with the loss and if I do the same or even 3lbs next week, that's 1/2 a stone for Christmas.
Does anyone know when I should drop another point? I am on 28 at the mo, 5"5 height and 11'10 stone. I tried the calculator but it told me 29! So I don't think thats right. I don't want to lose a point but I want to continue losing now that I am finally back on track.
Like others, I am going to seriously plan for christmas and just give myself a few days off. I will be working the Monday and Friday of Christmas week and NY eve so that will help keep me structured. It's my birthday next week but I think I will either have a big lunch or a big dinner and avoid the pigout I usually have as I am sure there will be christmas drinks.
Hope everyone has a good day despite the stinky weather. 0 -

Thanks. Am trying my best not to go completely back to my old ways but my lack of will power and all the nights out planned between now and Christmas does not help.
Hopefully I will be on here in January full of motivation and positivity 0 -

Great inspirational post, layviae Thank you.
I already feel like such a failure. I started in November 2010 at 18 stone 3lb. Lost 50lbs in about 8 months, then I got married in August 2011 and it all went downhill from there. I was able to keep my weight stable, gained a little back but was around 15 stone 3lb for a year, ups and downs. But when we moved house at the start of August, something just changed in me and I went back to my old ways. Convenience food, full fat crisps and choc, cashew nuts, alcohol 3-4 times a week and I just cannot seem to snap out of this mood at all.
I had 2 good weeks with Unislim, but then I had a bad day, made bad choices, and I have turned that bad day into 2 bad months!!! On my own scales, I am now 16 stone 3lb. So depressing, I told myself I would never see the 16's, 17's or 18's again. So annoyed with myself that I have wasted the last 16 months (weight loss wise) and have actually gained weight.
Definitely not going to have a million last suppers, going to have a bit of what I fancy but keep an eye on it. Won't start tracking until I start back at class though. Going to pretend I lost my card so I have a brand new card and a fresh start, so it doesn't depress me losing weight I have already lost and being a stone and a half (or more) til my next silver seven 0 -

i have 3 differet ww cards so i know the feeling. you seem to know exactly where your going wrong, im really looking forward to you coming back in january, im more of an ocassional poster but regular lurker but you and lady lainey were half the reason i was able to lose all that weight, you and me both have similar stats and we were getting to our 50lbs around the same time i just found you so inspriantional.
i have actually been suprisinly good today considering i felt it would be a difficult one. i found it difficult when my little one asked me to make him cheese scones and i realised i have all the ingrediants to make them in my kitchen, anyway i made eight small scones and had one and made him count the other 7 and told them they were his (hes a pretty clever 4yr old he'd know if one was missing.. hes eaten 5 so far)
after i had the scone i made the decision to fill in my tracker for the day and just stick to that... ive been pretty good apart from the small bits of crumbs that come from his plate every time he asked me to butter another scone. but im pretty proud of myself
its so nice to see everyone still hear especailly on a the second last friday before christmas, i love getting to know everyone thats posting since i was last here and i love all the blogs especailly the recepie ones.
cavangirl your results are amazing i totally wouldnt have the willpower to do 2/5 but wow
eabhabear i love your words of encouragement your so suportive of everyone
ccseli i love your blog its brilliant i really really love all the blogs
ive just had dinner (i know its 5.05 but my little one eats early) and ive just discovered nandos peri peri chip shake its 2pp for the whole tube of spice mix and i put a little on my prawns and chips and omg they were delicious plus because im quite sensitive to spice so i feel all warm and very satasfied. im gonna experiment with it in a few recepies in soups on chicken and on wedges and ill let you all know how it goes0
