It's true they are all unique biscuits, but they do come from the same order (Jacobsula) and family (coconutidae) of biscuits and are in fact quite closely related.

This is like that whole argument about foxes being pretty much a type of dog that I keep finding myself inexplicably involved in.

You are correct, however, I find that there are many people who are unaware that they are not in fact called "Kimberley Mikado" and well, to be completely honest.....

IT'S ONE OF MY PET HATES AND DOES MY HEAD IN

Oh it's jacobs that do them, i see

I still want kimberley and mikado anyway!

I was delighted with myself before Christmas, shifted that half stone I wanted gone. Three weeks later and I'm eight pounds heavier.:(

Weighed myself today and found I had lost weight.

I think I'm up a kg. I don't mind the weight gain, just need to turn it into toned weight gain.

I eated lots of chocolate, roast spuds and smelly cheeses, but I regret nothing. So its back on the wagon for me - pick up my running again and gonna try the shred. I'm 40 this year so need to get in shape before middle age sets in and I lose any muscle tone forever.

Look at ya all skinny like, coming on here showing your skinnyness off to everyone.

It is genetic in my opinion, mother's side of the family are skinny, my father never put on weight either.
Once one is healthy that is the most important thing, whatever weight one is.

I lost weight. Dunno how much, cos I dunno where the scales are, but the belt needed a new notch to keep up me trousers, and it's been said to me by several people.
I don't know how tbh, Iv been ateing big dirty fryups every morning, sweets and biscuits all day, drinking myself stupid each night and always a kebab or pizza after pints.
I'm in for some hop when this metabolism of mine slows down. 😩

antodeco

Lost weight! Replaced my normal diet with booze (I dont typically drink)

Lia_lia

About 2kg. Desperate! I've put on loads of weight this year. On a serious weight loss buzz now.

BetterThanThou

I seem to have also lost weight over the Christmas as well, despite not stepping a foot inside the gym for the last 2 weeks, going out 5 or 6 times, having a few casual drinks the rest of the nights and pretty much only eating fast food. Seems to be a considerable amount too, the jeans I had that were a tight fit without a belt now fall down without one.

Piglet85

Nearly 2lbs. However, I'm submitting my PhD thesis this week, so between stress-eating and comfort eating over the fact that I've recently learned I won't even be able to use the title "Dr" without everyone thinking I'm a knob, I'll probably be adding to that pronto...

Soft Falling Rain

Christmas ended on Friday for me so spent the weekend studying and in the gym. So ya know....fcuk yis.

TheBody

I put on 10lb's. Gonna starve myself until I get rid of it!!

zcorpian88

Have no idea how much weight I put on, but I lose it over the first 2 weeks of January anyway.

I do feel quite bloated between mince pies, turkey sandwiches, Danish Butter Cookies and many a can of ale.

Hate to weigh myself after Christmas, I take the bloatyness as I sign that I should skip snacking and eat more fibre and fruit and drink plenty of water and the weight will fall back to where I want it to be.

Fat Christy

I've been eating badly since the start of December... I have about a stone on.

I ran today for the first time in ages. 5km took me 31 minutes and 44 seconds, meh, could be worse.

Lucyfur

I eated all of Christmas. All of it.

I reckon I've but on a full stone, which is pretty disgusting

However, I'm back on track now.

Gonna get skinny and fabaliss.

Half a kilo. I've just made an effort in eating everything slowly, getting more satisfaction out of a little less.

If you farted you'd lose that!

I've about 4 or 5lbs on due to much over indulgence on sweets biscuits snd Ben & Jerries ice cream which was on offer before Christmas and we filled the freezer with it. I'll have it off again within 3 weeks, training started last night again.

xXxkorixXx

I don't care how much weight I put on I love my food and nighs in front of the telly sitting in my pyjamas and stuffing my face. So no - I never did care and don't care about how big I get. You only live once!

Gongoozler

I'm no good at guessing but I'd say I've out on a million pounds.

Realistically it's about 1 pound or so. Which isn't too bad, but I already had a pound or so that I wanted to lose. Gonna have to work quite a bit to get that off. Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, right guys?

Cathy.C

I put on so much weight over Christmas, that today when I was out and received a text message, people jumped out of the way as they thought a truck was reversing.


Kimberlys and Coconut Creams are harmless enough by the way, but that Mikado fellow is an addictive little f**ker. The other two siblings are dry enough that you wouldn't really eat more than a dozen or so of them perhaps, but Christ in the nip I could inhale a box of those marshmallow blobbed, coconut covered, jam centered little devils so fecking fast that even Elvis would be saying 'Ah here, slow down there now ffs'.

Yeah well I went swimming and the life guard called Greenpeace.

I lost half a stone in the past month.

castletownman

Overindulged drink-wise this christmas and definetely "feel" fatter if you get me. Went for my first jog of the new year earlier. Was dry retching along the route and fit to give up. Completed the course in a slower than usual time but it's a stepping stone to restoring myself to my usual fitness.

But.....I am fit for the bed and as stiff as a board now. How in the name of jaysus did Forrest Gump keep going for 3 years, 2 months, 14 days and 16 hours?

pq0n1ct4ve8zf5

I don't seem to have put any on! I don't really go too mad with the food at Christmas but I did eat a bit more than usual, plus I did a lot more sitting and drinking than I would normally.

However, my skin is in absolute shíte, my sleep pattern is all over the place and I tried to go for my first proper walk in a couple of weeks today and it's shocking how much my fitness has deteriorated. I'll take half a stone off one of ye if anyone wants to swap!

But plan to get back into a healthy eating/exercise cycle tomorrow (was gonna start today but there are just a few too many sweeties still hanging around... I'm so weak... )

Your sir are a legend. 17lbs is seriously impressive

Funniest thing Ive heard all year*

*I know the year is only 5 days old but fcuk it, still very funny

Holsten

I'd guess 0.5kg of fat thanks to the festive season.

Earthhorse

I don't know. I thought I weighed near 9 and a half stone but I actually only weigh 9 stone nekkid so my belt must be very heavy or something.

However, my belly does look more...belly-like following the Christmas indulgence.

mad m

Fecking was good to a point, put on 3kgs.....bloody hard now to get rid of that now and back down to my normal 78kg weight.

groucho marx

4 pounds and it's noticeable too hmm it was worth it though the porn that is pizza and selection boxes

Kas2010

Up 8lbs, absolutely raging with myself but my god I enjoyed it. All back to normal now, I've 14 weeks to lose 16lbs. Far easier to put it on

LoonyLovegood

Up four pounds the month of December. Was in the hospital today and I'm definitely down two.

Talib Fiasco

Lost 5 pounds. It baffles me as I literally have been eating 6 or 7 big meals a day plus constantly snacking on absolute junk. And the amount of drink consumed was sick.

bladespin

Lots, about 7lbs, was 7lb or so over to begin with though, your mission should you choose to accept it ......

I lost weight :cool:

Banjo String

Two things I always dread having to do after Christmas holidays.

1, step on scales
2, check online bank balance.....

Work slacks definitely felt a bit snugger around the middle this morning, was on the beer most nights, didn't go over board on the sweet stuff like the chocolates etc, but had a few chippers etc.

I'd say I went up a few pounds alright, back to healthy eating and exercise now, oh and signed up for "on the dry" for the Irish heart foundation.

No liquor for the month of January.

LenaClaire

Only gained a pound but I had to let my belt one notch bigger

Actually, kind of amazing considering how many biscuits I ate

TheBeardedLady

Out of curiosity, would weighing yourselves be something people here would do regularly? I don't own a scales in my flat and only weighed myself when I got home 2 weeks ago when I got to my parents' as I always do. I only weigh myself when I go home to Ireland. I prefer not to know my exact weight and to go on the feel of my clothes and appearance in the mirror.

Malari

I weigh myself every day. And keep an Excel file and graph it. I'm not obsessed, but spreadsheets are fun.

rainbow kirby

Every 1-2 weeks on the good scales at the gym.

Never weigh myself. I look in the mirror, if I see rolls, it's time for a cut. I see lots of rolls at the moment.
