Thanks hope it helps! Not sure whether to just edit the one post to keep all values together

Its way to early to start talking about christmas lol. But if you must, get a 12 week countdown and you get a free christmas cookbook. If you do a search in the recipe section there are bound to be loads of threads full of ideas too

Subbing great idea.

I know ots a bit more ' halloweeny' but im waiting for my first pumpkin today in asda shop for pumpkin soup!!

Oooh good idea, I shall sub to this too! Gonna find so much temptation at Christmas!

Oh god, I'm such a bad example as I just let my hair down and indulged last year. Lol! X

I know this should be exciting me but I'm finding it just depressing!
Mind you I'm on day 4 and haven't had the victory of seeing losses yet.
Ideally by Christmas there'll be a little less on the belly and a bigger smile on our faces!

I think I should subscribe- you're clearly very motivated misschaos and I could do with that sort of inspiration atm

25g is a bit stingy though!

If you really thought about this, there is no reason why you can't stick to the slimming world plan over Christmas. I love the idea of the stuffing balls, that is something I might try. I can't really be bad at Christmas as hubby and I are going to New Zealand on the 28th December for a month and I will be close enough to target by then (hopefully !!!). I don't want to blow all my hard work so plan to go easy on the food and go for long walks instead

What a great thread! I'm currently working on some recipes converting to SW. I'm interested in fish as my dh is pescatarian so I'm trying to come up with a few SW fish dishes . Will add when I have devised x

I really want to avoid having a gain at Xmas and alcohol is definitely going to be my downfall. Can avoid chocolate easily enough, but i know I will struggle to keep away from savoury things like crisps and dip, Yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets!

If I drink which isn't often I have 35ml white rum (2.5 syn) with diet LILT it's like piña colada

I failed last Xmas gaining 7 lb?? With not much justification if I'm honest, I didnt eat that much!

Year before 2 lb gain, sticking to plan but eating a whole batch of mini mince pies from SW Xmas book?! Lol
