DECEMBER CHALLENGE

[Franalamadingdong]

You girls are doing fab. This month i will be leaving the month heavier than I entered the month which is hard to take, but December contains Xmas and my birthday. I figure it'll be a proper lesson in how to bounce back. I've had a few little gains that are always off the next week, but I suspect I will set myself back quite a bit and I will just have to remind myself that it is ok to step back, I've not failed, or let myself down. Anyone had any big gains before give me any tips?

Muscles in my legs are sore today and it says to let them recover. I have been out cleaning out the quails so that should be some body magic. I will be cleaning the Windows and vacuuming in a bit so that'll help too. The weather warnings are in force down here too so getting out isn't much of an option.

How's everyone's Christmas preparations going?

I didn't go to group for 4 weeks over the summer, when i went to face the music i had gained 7lbs! But i drew a line under it and plodded on, and got that weight off in 2 weeks!!! (i find the quicker it goes on the quicker it comes off again. You only fail if you give up, if you don't give up then you haven't failed, you're just human, we all have little blips, its how you deal with them that counts, good luck hun xxx

 

[Rara Lara]

I gained 1lb first week, lost 1lb last week and lost 4.5lbs this week!! Next week i hope to lose at least 0.5lbs so i reach this target on this challenge Good luck everyone xxx

Hey youve lost so much so far! Don't beat yourself up, or forget it. Even if you gain half a stone, it will be gone before you know it - and at least you will be conscious of where it comes from and how easy it is to put on, which will be a lesson learnt for next year.

[blonde88]

Yay! Thank u.. : )

 

[Texty_F]

Your welcome lol

 

[CountryCottage]

Is anyone in our December challenge hoping for a loss this week?? When you think about it, its easy to think its only a large roast lunch but when we actually get to Tuesday, whats gonna happen???? Will we resist?????? what goodies will beg us to eat them??????????

 

[Texty_F]

I removed myself from the challenge as my month had been appalling - i put 2.5 on last week arghhhh - sneaky peek tells me 2 of it has gone. I WI on Thurs so hoping to show a loss from last WI but will only take me back to where i was

 

[Judanism]

I'm not hoping for a loss - I'm just hoping to sts. I've decided to basically give up on slimming world from today until Thurs morning - I'm not gonna go mental, but I'm certainly not counting syns. Plus I'm hoping to do lots of walking in the meantime. Thursday I'll be back on it full time, and hoping Friday morning to stay the same.

By the way, had a bit of a depressing incident tonight. Knew my home scales were a bit 'light' so treated myself to a new snazzy set. Got on them today and I'm 8lb heavier than on the other scales. Ugh. Well, on a good note I suppose I still have lost 16lb, no matter what I weigh!! Ha ha.

 

[Texty_F]

I think home scales should be banned lol i just cant bear to ban mine

 

[Mandlegrot]

i have never owned any and never will. all scales are always different and i can't be dealing with it! bin them

 

[Texty_F]

Id have to get someone to do it for me - lol

 

[Franalamadingdong]

mine keep going up. damn you scales! haha

 

[Texty_F]

Lol i even tell mine i love them before i get on - it makes no difference :cry:

 

[Stickivix]

Got weighed today for the last time in December, haven't made my target but I'm pleased with what I've done LOL good luck everyone xx
