Afternoon all,
Just home from a fab day in Glasgow, great to catch up with my friends, little shopping this morning and now chill time before I do the same again in Edinburgh tomorrow.
I managed great all day but as I thought my friends had booked a meal at a local hotel, it was a set 3 course type special so I did have some of each course, but nothing to serious I hope. I also had 1 G & T as we had a Xmas toast.
Back straight on it and fingers crossed it won't be much damage tomorrow, not that I think one " small " meal will pile the lbs on so I'm drowning myself in water lol
I tried a dress on today
Foolishly I didn't buy it and now could kick myself as we don't have the store here in Newcastle :-(
On the plus side I had 3 people from work tell me today how fab I'm looking ( I travelled by train hence seeing work people )
I know I always over share on photos so here are a extra few lol
As much snow as I got lol
Off to catch up while I have a cuppa, hope your all doing ok x x

Oh, that dress is gorgeous! I'm still hunting my dress down - i've ordered but have to wait till Sunday to try it on in store...
Sounds like you had a fab time - keep chugging away at that water - i'm sure that bit of food won't have made much impact.
TOTM has appeared, just before a busy weekend - and WI on Sunday. Blooming sod's law. Feeling a bit better today - thanks so much for popping by my log.

Thanks ladies, I double checked and I can get in online but only in a 8 or 12 lol won't be a 12 for a few stone yet so I'm not going to bother.
Managed just over 4 litre of water today and have been 100% ahead of my next " planned " off day tomorrow, drinks ALL day and lunch in Edinburgh with friends, I'm not going to lie it will be a naughty one but I'm going to do TWO big walks, one Sunday and one Monday Nd hope to be back to 13.12 by Wed before I go to Amsterdam
It's never ending lol after The Dam I don't have anything until Boxing Day so another clear run at SS.
I'm quite happy so long as I manage to get straight back into it and touch wood so far I've managed.
Wish me luck lol x x x

Afternoon all,
A great day was had by all but 1000% off plan :-(
As predicted. We started with a magnum of prosecco on the train followed by lunch, not too naughty but a little lol
Gin n slim all day with a couple of glasses of mulled wine & a few cocktails
By this point I was rather " merry " and had a take away at the end of the night.
I didn't eat a lot of it at all but have to be honest that I did have some.
Today so far I've had 3 litre of water and product number 1. Straight back on it until Amsterdam on Wed. My friends were super complimentary and said the usual. . . You don't have another 3st to lose etc etc but I do and I will lol, they told me I went to slim in 2012 and that I look good now. Don't get me wrong I'm pretty happy at the mo but only in the respect that I'm
Happy with my progress so far but I know how much better I can do.
Hubby was great as I'm much more relaxed about off plan days ( although they are planned ) I would never have been so relaxed on 2012 and I don't mind if it takes a bit longer to get to goal but I will get there by April for our holiday.
I'm pleased Amsterdam is with my on plan friend as it's not hard for her to understand lol, she's had her 2nd weigh in and has lost 14lb in 13 days
Hope everyone has had a good weekend, this time of year is a dieters nightmare but let's not be too hard on ourselves ! Remember how far we have come and celebrate knowing how good we feel to how bad we would have not have started !
TOTM has arrived, a little late again this month but is here with a vengeance sat crying at a blooming Xmas movie lol.
I'm going to wait until Wed to record my weight obviously yesterday combined with TOTM won't be a good combo but fingers crossed by Wed I should be OK.
Anyone who manages to keep up with my Dec Jollys you do well lol, after Amsterdam I have nothing until Boxing Day which is a good clear run of 7 days completely 100% SS.
I'm going to be good Xmas day as I know Boxing Day will be naughty, we have a party at home for around 20 people so I would rather let the halo slip that day while we have people over.
For me I've always said Dec is about damage limitation rather than getting a loss, so far mentally it's working for me, I certainly don't feel as though I'm missing out on anything and I feel quite " normal " I don't even feel as though I'm on a extreme plan I have a day or so off then cut back just like any other " normal " person would.
Sorry to ramble again and as usual here are a few snaps from Yesterday's Edinburgh trip x x x
Myself & hubby
Me and friend on George St
Non CWP friendly but just had to have both of these Xmas bauble cocktails
Naughty but nice, I can't resist MS garlic prawns and their hot Arbroath Salmon, much better choice than a sandwich I Hope

Morning all ( Kat's jolly voice )
I couldn't resist as I'm sure you would all know I " popped " on the scales this morning and after both Glasgow & Edinburgh this week plus Time of the month I find myself with ONLY a 2 lb gain which I'm super pleased about and I will put that down to Mother Nature darn her !
I can't express how happy I am but I do always get straight on it so I guess if I was SS + or step two the kcal may work out the same over a week if that makes sense.
Off out this morning doing a few chores, bills to pay and we need a new microwave ( ours blew the electrics a few days ago ) Will also pop and see mother in law who I've not seen since July ( they share their time between here and their place in Thailand ) She's not a complimentary person, she's not nasty, it's just not her nature so it will be interesting to see if she mentions anything about my loss which you can't fail but notice now
Hope everyone is doing ok ?
I know it's always quite on here at weekends and everyone is super busy now the festive season is well under way but keep strong ladies . . . . . WE CAN DO this x x

Oh, Kat - I love all this positivity! You are SOOO in the zone!
Since seeing CDC at the weekend, I am feeling much better about this month's prospects - this week is probably the busiest and I'm looking forward to a slightly less busy Christmas week!
I am in the club with trying to maintain over December and hopefully by Jan, i'll have minimised the gains.
Have a good recovery day today - I know how you feel with the dreaded TOTM!

Evening all,
12 weeks today and another 100% SS day today.
Going good guns and praying for a loss by Wed ahead of my Amsterdam trip
Mother in law didn't say a word about my loss until we were leaving then casually said . . . .
have you lost a bit weight !
I equally as casually said hmmmm maybe a little ! ! !
I've bought a microwave egg poacher today ( not that I'm using it at the moment ) but I can never get poached eggs right so wanted one to try when I have a meal day, any top tips welcome as I've not used one.
Not much else to report today as per usual it's been plain sailing. I do think my friend doing it is helping keep me on track which is fab.
I'm on a weeks leave from work and tomorrow is a normal day with a " little " walk into our local town but only around 3 miles there and back so not what I would call exercise but still good to do a bit more than nothing.
I'm itching for the next drop on the scales and I had thought I would be happy to be 13.13 at my next official weigh in - in Jan but I want a loss. I only now have Amsterdam. Boxing Day & New Year's Eve stopping me and I think my weigh in will be 10th Jan as I have more than enough products to keep me going.
Amsterdam is casual no need to buy anything new, Boxing Day I have several Xmas jumpers to pick from so my next big thing is NYE . . . . . I may need a new dress by then or at very least a new pair of jeans which fit well as mine are now all rather baggy. I'm living in my leggings which I love but I wouldn't go out on a evening in them lol. I'm thinking new skinny jeans, a nice top and a smart blazer with high shoes as we go out mid afternoon to avoid the NYE chaos
As much as I love Dec I'm crossing each event off mentally so I can get straight back to being good. Thinking about those smaller summer clothes for the Dominican in April . . . . . . 113 days, not that I'm counting
I seriously thought this month may topple me but I feel mentally stronger than ever.
I was talking to hubby today and although I had planned breaks in 2012 I worried each and every time where as this time around I'm training myself about good choices then cutting back and getting straight on it instead of feeling as though I've thrown it all away and going off the rails.
I now know " normal " people may have a naughty day but they cut back to counteract it . . . . . That is as I say my previous downfall.
You live and learn and I do feel much much better and although I still have around 3 st to go I know this time I won't be afraid of moving up the steps.
Almost 2015 and that for me is the time to knuckle down and get back on the wagon properly, super pleased I started this when I did x x x x

Thanks Hun, the 12 weeks have flown by. I'm wishing Dec away so I can do a good stretch although after Amsterdam I have a full week to Boxing Day
Not sure of my favourite product as I have a few, mint shake but hot, I love the risotto with a spoon of curry sauce and I like most of the bars . . . . . I'm lucky that there isn't a lot that I don't like.
How you getting on ?
£5 is nice if it doesn't cost you that to get to her lol, 2 towns is quite a way, can she not come to you ?
My poached eggs always split in a pan hence buying the micro poacher as I may have poached egg & turkey on Xmas day

OMFG ( sorry to swear ) BUT I'm back to 13.12, same as my last weigh in with Gemma ( my CDC ) still TOTM so I'm mega chuffed !
All of the things I've done the past few weeks and I've still pulled it back !
After The Dam I have a full clear week to Boxing day then only NYE so I'm thinking I will have a small loss by my next official weigh in - in Jan. think mine will be Jan 10th as I keep forgetting I have the extra products from eBay.
I'm sure I can get to at least 13.7 by jan 10th but always said I would just be happy to keep within the 13's BUT as we all know its quite addictive and I now know I can almost feel a loss it's making me more determined to get one after all its only myself who is going to stop that.
I will have another 100% SS day today.
Most of tomorrow will be good lol yes most as we check in for Amsterdam mid afternoon, free bar and meals booked both ways.
Thur will be naughty but Friday we arrive back 0930 all being well ( depending in weather ) so Friday will be back straight on it for a full 7 days and that excites me almost as much as the seafood I will have tomorrow lol.
Already 1 litre of water down today as I'm out & about later so wanted to get some down before I have to go out.
Hope everyone has a great day

Thats great - I'm sure you will l=have lost overall in Dec - amazing! And so good having all those planned days off and controlling it! I had to laugh at your MIL story - I went to see my mother yesterday - she is always on at me about my weight - always always - and she didn't even mention it, not even one word - even a relative stranger at camera club said to me on Monday night that he had noticed i had lost weight! FFS I'm only a lb off 4 stone and she doesn't even mention it. Argh. Sorry rant over!
Hope you have a wonderful trip and look forward to seeing piccies etc when you get back.

Hi lovely,
I LOVE reading your log. Your positive attitude to the festive period and your events has really got me thinking. I am feeling much better mentally this week - tonight is the BIG meal out with friends, but as you say, you just pull back after a "treat" and I will need to be REALLY good after tonight! I am hoping to be equal (or slightly lighter) for this week's WI with CDC. Finger's crossed!
I feel like I have finally perfected poached eggs - it's all about a shallow pan, simmering water and a little bit of cider vinegar. Perfect every time since I started doing it like this! I do always put the eggs in seperately though - don't know if that makes a difference or not?!
Hope you enjoyed your walk and have a fab time in Amsterdam - enjoy that seafood!

Afternoon all,
Oh my lord, a good time was had by all in fact far to much of a good time on Wed which resulted in me being sick on Thur morning just as we docked in Amsterdam :-(
I'm sure I was still drunk half of the day then last night it was gale force 9 and my poor friend was sick all night, but of a bonus for both of us lol.
We had a absolute blast and still enjoyed every moment.
I wouldn't say we ate excessively but as per usual the gin was my down fall and a couple of jugs of cocktail for good measure but I have a clear run until Xmas now so any gain will be gone again by then.
I know some people may have thought its pointless doing it for Dec but for me I'm just mega happy to get through the month without a real gain which I would have had if I had not have started.
In Amsterdam we always visit the tat shops and this years silly buys include a Xmas door mat ( I kid you not ) and TWO bottles of bargain advocat ( sp )
Will catch up properly later and I don't want to go on and on so here are a couple of pics
Cocktails out on deck
Oh dear, you know it's cheesy when you partake in the bingo
Anyone like my clogs
