Christmas dinner is the healthiest thing I eat over Christmas!!! For me Its all the booze, crisps and sweets that we buy in cos its Christmas. Then go to my parents and they still think theres six people at home so have bought chocolates and cakes for six people. Then everyone we visit has done the same!!
Must admit was in tescos last night eyeing up the christmas puddings mmmmmm.

I must admit my Christmas meal will be same as always, I'm not eat watching the others tuck into 3types of stuffing, kilted sausages, bread sauce, cranberry sauce and proper gravy and not join in! It's one meal and I'm going to enjoy it. I won't be stuffing myself with chocolate and mince pies and alcohol so I will indulge a little bit!

My & the OH were discussing this last night. We have decided we will not be filling the house with the usual boxes of chocolates, nuts etc. But we will have a proper Xmas Dinner, proper Christmas Cake, and 1 box of mince pies (no matter what the offer is on them!). We will drink on both Xmas day and New years eve.
We Will not be surprised if we gain as a result

Hope to be at target for Christmas, will be my first time starting new year without my new years resolution being to lose weight! I found last Christmas very easy on SW, I stuck to plan over the entire time and lost 3lbs Christmas week. I don't need to go off track to enjoy Christmas, I just find planning and preparing before hand is the key

When I was on Rosemary Conley years ago this is the way we were told how to do roast tatties. I still use it today.
Pre heat oven to gas mark 7 Don`t know leccy equivilent.
Par boil your tatties for 10 mins.
Drain and put back over heat for a minute to fully dry them.
With the lid on the pan, shake vigorously to roughen the edges.
Put them in the roasting tin.
Here comes the magic!!
Instead of pouring oil or fat, pour some oil into a cup and then with a pastry brush paint the potatoes with the oil.
Put into the oven for 20 mins.
After 20 mins take them out and turn over the tatties and repeat the oil process.
Put back in the oven for another 20 mins.
Result, perfect roast tatties.
You just have to syn the oil. Can`t remember the syn value without looking it up.

My parents always over-do it at Xmas, with numerous tins of choccies, pringles, cakes, mince pies, cheese board, trifle, gateauxs, etc... you end up spendign the whole day grazing, even though you're not hungry!So by staying at home for Xmas on our own this year we will be avoiding all of that.
We will probably have a few glasses of bucks fizz and wine on Xmas day and I'll cook a full Xmas dinner, but we won't have any of the really naughty foods in the house as I just won't buy them.
But we will be getting some exercise in as well as we will be decorating part of the house (yes, I could that as exercise! ), though we will probably take Xmas Day off the decorating duties and relax instead.
So, basically, over Xmas and New Year we will follow plan most of the time but will enjoy a few treats Xmas Day and New Year without going mad and completely blowing it.

Hhhmmm if you tasted the rubbish goose fat ones we had from m&s last year you might disagree. I was so disappointed.
We say every year we will be sensible at xmas, but I still always go awol. Even if we dont buy much for ourselves, oh will get given a lot and as i said above, its the socialising that does it.
Plus its the one day of the year its socially acceptable to eat quality street at breakfast. Would be rude not to really!!

I knew it was soonish, because we were talking about pre-xmas countdowns and things last week in class, but that's SOON soon. Wow.
I'm not too worried about xmas itself - I'm going to my parent's and my mum doesn't get much in the way of unhealthy stuff in (lots of brocolli, cabbage, fruit and smoked salmon, mostly) and I'm not going to worry too much about my xmas dinner itself as there's a limited amount of damage one can do in one meal (I'll have ee portions of veggies and it'll self-limit anyway).
I AM worried about our big meal over the bells at hogmanay - that's a big social occassion with lots of people cooking lots of courses and it's difficult to plan for (nigh on impossible, really)so I think I'll just take that meal off completely and be done with it.
And in prep I'd really like to lose 20 and then come out even from the holiday week.
