End of year 'check in'

Happy Christmas all. I've not been around for a while. Life gets in the way of everything!! This time of year the last thing I think of is maintaining a 'diet'. In previous years I've got to 1st Dec & thought 'sod it' I'll start in January. And a few pounds heavier I have. Since I last weighed in properly I've only lost another 1/2 lb but better off than on. Hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas. See you next year!

Losing over the Xmas is amazing achievement... I'm dreading the scales next week and hoping I've at least stayed the same but I doubt it haha..

Hope 2017 is the year you get the weight off for good x

The weigh in was just before Christmas. πŸ˜€ Drawing a line under 2016 (1/2 stone lighter) and looking forward to there being less of me in 2017!

Thank you for the supportive comment. Wishing you all the best for 2017. xx

Same for me, what with Christmas and the dark days, I 'relaxed' quite a lot. I just didn't need the pressure of 'dieting' along with all the other pressures of the season. At first it seemed I gained weight quickly once I took my eye off the ball, but paradoxically as soon as I gave myself permission to relax, I felt much better about everything. and the end result is I have put about 4lb on over 4-6 weeks, which is not nearly as bad as I was expecting! I know I will soon get on track again.

So yes, see you in 2017!

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. Allowing ourselves to have a more relaxed approach & a 'don't sweat the small stuff' attitude results in a smaller gain but I think makes the forthcoming year & the challenges it may bring a bit easier to deal with.

See you there! πŸ˜€ xx
