[FlicG]

Aw, your weekend sounds FAB! Lovely to get the comment from your friend.

Well done on getting straight back into and onto the plan. It's a bit of a battle December and you're about 10 x busier than me, but you seem to be able to keep on track really well, so i'm sure you won't have any problems.

Enjoy the coffee - i'm more of a tea person!

Thanks lovely lady, my arms, wrists and legs always drop 1st and my back, boobs n belly take longer lol

[NumptyMum]

Afternoon everyone Just en route home from Edinburgh and had a fantastic but naughty 3 nights away. Great to see friends, great to have time with hubby but equally as great to be back to nil by mouth Should be home by 2 and have no products with me do will catch up with them later, plenty of water keeping my tummy full. My friends wife said I look Tiny ! ! ! I'm far from tiny but god I felt great. Hubby also enjoying me being a little more confident. Don't want to bore you all to much but as you all know I'm a bit of a selfie queen here goes lol

Can't beat The Dome at Xmas. Best pub I've ever been in


Back on track today and the scales will wait a few days ?
Next jolly is Glasgow overnight on Thur but I will SS with a meal if I have to as my friends will no doubt have booked a table, I will stick with chicken or prawn depending where we go.

Will catch up with you all once I'm home x x x

Wow your looking slimmer with every pic you post x
Ooo I see you were in High Wycombe, I was born there and lived there 27 years until I got married and moved to Milton Keynes xxx

 

[angelupnorth]

Mumptymum we were in high Wycombe Fri & Sat for a party then straight upto Edinburgh on a sunday. Fab weekend with great friends

 

[angelupnorth]

Morning all,

After my " very naughty " 3 days I am pleased to report a gain of only 4lbs which I know will be gone in a few days

Lots of coffee and water so far plus a strawberry tetra, back in the zone and I'm actually very pleased that the gain wasn't a lot more. I know I can have it off quite fast so my head is still well and truly still in the game






Love this pic so thought I would share.


Two days at work this week today and tomorrow so I shall catch you all later this evening, keep strong everyone

 

[FlicG]

Have a great day at work - mine has been all too busy today!

You are such a star getting straight back on plan - well done. I'm sure those scales will start to show soon.

xx

 

[angelupnorth]

Evening all,


Not a bad day at work, still only part shifts so not to bad at all but a review tomorrow although I'm not happy about going back full time the week before Xmas as its our busiest, heaviest time of the year and I don't want any setbacks before my next scan Dec 29th, I will of course make my manager more than aware of my concerns tomorrow.

100% on plan today, lots of beanies coffee, peppermint tea, water and my products, only a little more water to go so may have a mug of the veg flavouring. Risotto was my last product with a spoon of curry powder and it was great

Work tomorrow, Glasgow Thur & Friday then Edinburgh for the Day on Sat with friends,
I will push myself to do a LONG walk on Sunday & Monday to counteract as much damage as possible and hope for the best ahead of next weeks Amsterdam trip which is my last jolly prior to Xmas, I get back early on the morning of Friday 19th then brace yourselves . . . . . . . . . .
I have no further Jollys booked in before Xmas which involve food or drink so after Amsterdam I have a clear 6 days to Boxing Day for our party then a further 5 days to NYE. Upon looking my next official weigh in will actually be Jan 10th which does give me ample time to get back into the 13's which would be pretty good going considering the month of madness Dec brings.

Sorry to waffle ( as usual ) I'm just plotting my plan so I can look back.

This week isn't to bad as although I have Glasgow & Edinburgh, Glasgow will be NO Alcohol and minimal food, Edinburgh will be G&slim but minimal food.

There's a massive difference in my mind from my last major CWP journey in 2012, for some reason this time I KNOW that I can get straight back on plan and a few days off isn't the end of my long journey it's just a speed bump in the road lol
I also feel better my friend is doing it, it will certainly make our Amsterdam trip easier as she now understands about ketosis and why it's best not to come out of it. I'm quite lucky in that I never suffer the headaches just the cold, I know I came out over the weekend but day 2 today going back in and no side effects although I'm tired that could be from a busy 3 days . . . . . .

I'm waffling again lol,
Off to catch up so hope you've all been good ?

The afternoon Tea in the Palm court looked amazing, no one ate it all . . . . . . . They just sat chatting and then had it put in goofy bags, I bet they ate it all when their friends weren't there lol.

Fab hotel, they do the best Gin n slim with strawberry and cracked black pepper, sounds strange but was fab.

£20 a round for a glass of Chablis and hubby's beer so not somewhere we stay for more than a couple lol

 

[angelupnorth]

Just done my week 11 comparison







Picture taken on Sunday after 11 weeks on plan, 3 stone loss

I keep looking to remind myself no matter how bad dec gets I will still be lighter than before I started lol

 

[BessieB]

Thats incredible - you must be so pleased - you should put the summer outfit back on and show us the difference!!

 

[angelupnorth]

Lol Bessie I may just do that when we go to the Dominican in April



Also super happy this morning I had a 4 lb weekend gain and have dropped 3 already.

I was 13.12 at my lightest the other week and hope to better that by Wed when I go to Amsterdam ( even though I have Glasgow & Edinburgh between now & then )

Feeling flipping great this morning, day 3 getting back into Ketosis and the scales have certainly helped me.
Green tea & water this morning, wrap a few prezzies and pack for Glasgow as I'm at work later and then leave early in the morning

I seriously can't thank you all enough for your support especially when you all know I have the planned breaks this month.
Last time I fine CWP I was aghast at people having " planned " breaks and tortured myself it would only work if I was SS, I guess now I do make better choices and I do get straight back onto it which is something I struggled with last time.
I don't want to tempt fate but I am
Confident I will keep in the 13's by my next official weigh in x

Thank you MsJMC

I love Dec as I spend the month catching up with friends & family I don't see as often as I would like so Dec is very special to me. I'm not saying it's easy to stick with it and not go completely off the rails but I look at food and mentally think how much it would put on and how hard it is to get off so sometimes I just think it's not worth being too naughty.
I had a sip of Pepsi max on Sunday after a big night sat but it was vile so I had the tiny sip and gave it to hubby. Something's just aren't worth it.

I also have lots of foods I'm just not prepared to risk eating so I think maybe I'm making better choices and I'm certainly not eating lots when I'm " off plan "

My friend has quite a lot to go but she's vertically challenged bless her and she has enormous boobs which don't help her shape,
I think her chest is her major problem as her tummy isn't too bad at all.

Keep with it lovely lady, always great to see you in here x x x

 

[FlicG]

Morning lovely.

You seem so incredibly focussed - interesting what you said about last time vs. this time - your focus (and having that lovely holiday to look forward to) seems to be helping you stick with the plan.

Still trying to shift the last of my gain from last weekend's merriment in London - almost there now! Another Step 2 night last night and i'm feeling good.

Going to get my Christmas tree today - can't wait to get the decorations on tonight!

xx

 

[angelupnorth]

Evening all,

As planned another 100 % SS day.
Just sort of 4 litre of water so keeping myself full up.

Work was ok and I now have 11 days off prior to working 22nd, 23rd & 24 Dec :-(

Friends from Glasgow have booked us into a local hotel for a meal tomorrow evening which is a bit of a pain but I will make good choices and eat as little as possible, if they had a online menu it would make it easier but they don't !
I've packed already a couple of 500ml bottles of water as I always forget when out & about so no excuses if I have it with me Also packed my beanies coffee for the hotel ( I'm becoming a addict lol )

Busy day and praying for snow ( I know I'm nuts )

Will update as and when I get a chance, home Friday but no set time as I can travel at my leisure it will depend on the weather in Glasgow if I hit the shops or not on the Friday lol.

I'm trusting you all to keep up the fab work while I'm AWOL lol

Will be thinking of you all and of all the encouraging words over the past few months, it all helps me not fall off the wagon as much as I could x x x

Hi there little Miss Focused! Good to see how fast you have dropped that 3 ! I am 2 stone behind you so sharing your excitement of getting into the 13s as I have just got into the 15s! I'm afraid I'm still in the ss only mindset I can't yet see myself sticking if off plan- although did buy some bars today and ate one for breakfast. I'm saving by step 2 week for early in the new year as I don't want to tempt myself over Christmas!

Hope you you get your snow- if you do send some down here please- I love it. Have a great time in Glasgow- look forwards to hearing all about it
