20 somethings

Hi ladies! Sorry not been on for a couple of days, Jack's poorly so it's been hectic. Was in a&e with him until 2am this morning as he has croup, my poor baby :( So I couldn't take him to group with me today as planned as he just isn't well enough.

I got weighed in today and have lost another 2 pounds and got into the 11 stones! :) Didn't expect it as still on star week, but i'll take it! I've been going to slimming world 6 months exactly now and am so proud that i've not had a single gain throughout that whole time, just 2 maintains at star week and the rest have been losses! They always say pride comes before a fall though and i could very well have a fall next week after all the goodies i'll be eating this week! I've just made myself some wheat free chocolate muffins for my christmas pudding tomorrow as i don't like real christmas pudding or mince pies. Have had pate and baked camembert with wheat free bread sticks tonight plus the runt of the batch of muffins (to make sure they're not poisoned) and a few cherry liquor chocolates with a glass of chocolate flavoured red wine. Yum!

I can't believe how many presents Jack has, he's been well and truely spoilt! Underneath the tree is jam packed, no idea where we're going to put everything! Merry Christmas everyone! :) xx
 
Aww poor chicken. Hope he gets better soon. YAY! for the weightloss. Have a lovely Christmas hun :) I'm looking at a huge gain this week and couldn't care less. hehe.

Enjoy your first Christmas :)
 
Well done Sammy! Hope jack is better soon xx

Bless her ciara, got everything crossed for you all that she is home tomorrow! XX

Fran, you have been amazing staying on plan how you have so far, my Santa hat comes off to you! Xx hope you have an amazing day and nate has a fab time xx

Jenna, are you still resisting? If so....why?! It's Christmas ffs! Lol hope you have a great day, what did your grandparents think of their cushion and hamper? Xx

I've just got in from a fab night, I didn't wear the blue dress from last year that I was going to wear, was a bit chilly and had quite a bit of walking to do which would have not happened in heels! Wore skinny jeans, a nice one shoulder star print top and knee high flat boots. Pic-

Happy Christmas everyone! Xx
 
Aww you look lovely scarlet! Hope you had loads of fun!

I was naughty yesterday with xmas biscuits, and on saturday with chocolate. tee hee. and today I had sticky toffee pudding so i'm not so good! It'll be back to basics from the 29th. after gaining a stone! I know if I wasn't naughty over xmas I would resent SW which I don't want. I don't seem to be able to eat as much as I used to though. or force myself to have more when I'm full. woo. progress.
 
Well done on getting into the 11's. It's amazing the difference 6 months can make. I've had some naughty treats but find I can't eat half the crap I used to. Had homemade madeira cake and custard with the kids for supper and a glass of red wine - and that's me done for tonight. Santa's been, so I can go have a bath ready for the dawn call - hope it's not still too dark when they wake up.
Happy Christmas.

Merry Christmas all you lovely people :) I'm still in bed getting up now, we were naughty in my house opened the presents last night, no kids anymore and my dad never waits anyway haha

Have a lovely day however you spend it xxx
 
Haha scarlet my mum is the same. So pleased everyone seems to really like their gifts from Nate and I. Nate LOVES his presents. Heehee. Turns out mum bought him something out of my Grandad's money so he has ended up with a bonus present. He's got SO much chocolate too. He was allowed one thing earlier which he was really good about, then he found a box of treat size chocolates that he wanted and was a little less good about. He was tired, and at the point of lying down in the middle of his toys, valiantly still trying to play I went and got his milk. he tried mummy's bucks fizz, thinking he'd pull a face and stop wanting it, but he loved it and wasn't fooled by the OJ and lemonade!

I got the coat from Grandad's money, and a CD from my brother, a beautiful recipe book to write recipes in from my other brother - that's the best thing about his gf, she picks out gorgeous things and my brother pays, haha. And from mum and dad I got a lovely set of bamboo knitting needles in a cotton roll, a set of crochet hooks in a leather purse, several holding needles (giant safety pins) in a beautiful bag to keep them and my wool in.

Nate got so much! From my Grandad mum bought a Noah's arc that opens up and the top comes off, from my brother he got q busy boys day book with noisy buttons (his only noisy present!), my mum and dad got him a wooden tool bench, that I need to put together. From me he got books, puzzles, scrap, megablocks, art stuff (not opened yet, saving it for tomorrow when the girls are opening their presents) and playmobil zoo. I have had great fun playing with them all! He got a walky clacker thing from mum's friend and some chocolates. He got even more chocolate from my brother and mum. Oh, and I lucked out with secret Santa, a nice sanctuary set. Mmm I love sanctuary.

Mum loves her gifts, she's like an excited child. Dad loves his too. He said to mum "what did I do to deserve this?" Bless him. Funniest present was my brother sending down a GIANT walnut whip. It is as big as Nates head!

Just going to get changed into my Xmas outfit of a size 14 white knitty dress and size medium patterned leggings! They may not fit by the end of the week... Or day! Haha. My Xmas pajamas were 12-14 too, because the next size up were 16-18 and way too big. Better than last years 20-22 affair. :)

Going to go clean up now, hope you all are having as lovely a day as we are. Brainwave! Chocolate Orange hot chocolate with contreau!
 
Im wearing 16-18 pjs which is good as I started at size 22 less than 6 months ago! Got my food processor, my slow cooker, my immersion blender (all that I asked for) some cookware from my sis, usual smellys n stuff, NO chocolate! Well except a bag of coins which lasted all of 5 mins before I snaffled them all up lol

My oh is made up with his nfl jersey that my mum bought him that hes been dying to have for the last 4 months but we couldnt afford it lol and he got his dara dvd and his John bishop dvd so will have a bit of a laugh watching those at some point


Hope everyone is having a good day so far! Ive been so bad food wise but I dont care lol xmas is only once a year!
 
sounds great christie :) and a big yay about the drop in sizes. My coat is a 14 so I had best be good in the new year so it will still fit!

Just had one dinner today. haha. My brother had two... he is skinny though. Nate tried mum's xmas pud and loved it so i cut mine in half and we had half each which has helped with the syns! So full, but I really just want to pick at chocolaty bits and things! I think I need my stomach pumped so I can eat more. I have noticed now how much LESS I can eat now. Mum and dad have taken out the cheese and stuff and I just can't face any of it.
 
Stomach.... so..... full....can't move! Have eaten so much and drank quite a bit too! Had a lovely day even though jack is still poorly. he got so much stuff, well and truly spoiled! He's only played with a couple of things though, so tomorrow is play time! :) Looking forward to getting to play with them too lol! I got some baileys and chocolates and smellies and money which has paid for the new camera i got, so i'm happy! :) So tired now, think I might go to bed to get some sleep! Just in case it's a bad night with jack again with his cough, my poor baby.

glad you've all had a great day! :) Merry Christmas! xx
 
Sammy, I'm the same, so full! Hope your little one is a bit better soon.

Had a lovely day, ate so much though, got to rein it in tomorrow! Went to visit granny in the hospital, she's not great, but we'd all prefer to have her home so hopefully in a few days.
 
Lol jenna, I'm allowing myself a stone. Haha. Will be 100% from the 29th though. Hopefully get rid of my gain be Feb. Lol. Glad you had yourself a good time.

Excited to see my nieces tomorrow. Turns out they're leaving on the 27th :( and mum said "ooh! I forgot to get you a birthday card. Haha. Just watching Alan carr and knitting on my new bamboo needles.

Aww Sammy, I hope jack gets better soon. The first christmas is so special. The second one has been fun. And I got to do some flat pack building! You are so good at getting chocolates, I'd devour them all so everyone was good and didn't get me any :) have a wonderful play day tomorrow!

Ciara, so sorry your nan couldn't come home for Christmas, but it is nice you got to see her still. Hopefully out for the new years :)

I think we are all so full. This is the first Christmas where I haven't been working where I have actually been relaxed. Usually mum's cousin invites herself and just sets everyone on edge and stresses everyone out. So this has been so nice. I feel SO lucky :)
 
Hi everyone, and merry Christmas!! Hope you all had a great day yesterday! Well I can officially say I have had a fabulous week since last Tuesdays weigh in...fabulously fun, but certainly NOT fabulously slimming world friendly haha!! I have eaten exactly what I want, whenever I've wanted, and enjoyed every mouthful!! Have indulged in booze, chocolate, white bread the LOT!! Haven't had ridiculous amounts, but will admit I've not counted a single syn/healthy extra/free food!! Going to wi tomorrow, then the day after I am off to London for 3 days with OH and the inlaws, where I will also be having a few treats, back on Friday and will try to get back into the swing of things to at least have half a good week haha! Have decided I am not going to stress about any of it, I'm just going to enjoy my favourite time of year. On the scales at the minute I am only showing a half lb gain at the min, but even if supposing I was to gain something ridiculous like half a stone (heaven forbid!!) I would still be 1.5stone lighter than I was in the summer!! Hope you are all having a wonderful time, wether you are indulging as much as i am or not!! Xxxx
