I know, times has flown by!! 2 years ago I had lost weight then had a hernia op. I fell away from the plan & didn't get back on. Pit my weight back on plus more so I was determined this wasn't going to happen this time. Ww'ers has taken over my life lol

Has it really been 4 weeks - it only seems like a few days ago. Hope time has gone as quick for you xxx

I know, I can't believe where the weeks have gone. In fact, where's the year gone??? xx
 
Started my Christmas shopping today, well preparations for it any way! I have decided that I am doing hampers for both sets of parents with all homemade products. I have a few ideas running around my head e.g. Strawberry & vanilla jam, orange & cinnamon marmalade, lemon & ginger marmalade, onion chutney, turkish delight, raspberry cordial, barley sugar vodka etc. I went to Ikea & bought jars & bottles. I hope to start this week & do a little each week leaving the biscuits to last as they won't keep as long. I've never done anything like this before. I've made hampers but just went & bought luxury goodies & put them in a box!! Anyway, we'll see how it goes

That's great that you didn't let the weight gain happen to you again!
