Oh I would love to go to the Liverpool Christmas Market! I've never been to one before but I would love to. They look like they are right up my street!

I've got Warren's main present still to buy. He wants a new pair of football boots but I've told him to have a good look around and not rush into it. It's a big / expensive present so I want him to be sure. Other than that I've already got him a few "stocking fillers". I've bought him a Nando's gift set since we love it there so much lol! It's a little set with three sauces in. A San Miguel gift set with a posh glass and a bottle of lager - he has a thing for collecting glasses lol and San Miguel is his fave! A Paco Robane "Invictus" set with fragrance and shower gel. A big bar of Tobelerone. And, as a little bit of daft, a couple of pairs on Minion socks lol!

For his mum I've bought a Christmas Yankee Candle gift set, although I'm not sure what to get his dad yet. Maybe some smellies and some sweeties.

Also still have my mam, dad and brother to buy for. My mam and dad have just gone on their holidays and my mam is going to look for something whilst they're away. She really wants a nice Pandora necklace and matching earrings, so we've told her if she sees anything she likes just to buy it, then we'll give her the money and wrap it up for Christmas. My dad and brother will probably pick something they want too and I'll wrap it for them.

And then my best friend, Katie, and hubby, Sean, are still to buy for. But thinking I'll get them a joint present / something for the house maybe.

Phew!! Then I'll be done :)

How about you? Have you started your shopping yet? xx

Wow, you're doing so well on the 5:2! Congratulations on the loss! I'm trying to track my calories better and hopefully I can try and give 5:2 another go soon. I haven't even strated thinking about Christmas presents yet. Will probably just get everyone something from the Christmas markets in Prague again.

Thank you ladies!! :) xxx
 
Todays fast is going to be so hard, I can already tell. It'll be the first one I've struggled with so far, but I feel as though TOTM is on it's way. My stomach is bubbling and all I want is warm, stodgy comfort food! Lots of carbs and chocolate.

Have already thought about bailing on the fast and doing it another day, but I don't want to knock myself out of routine. Just had my porridge to try and soothe my tummy, so I'll see how it goes. Really want to stick with it. But it's a long way until tea time!!
 
Have you got any nice herbal tea bags Stevie? I find the Twinings honey and camomile tea is great for days like that - it's really warm and soothing and yummy with no calories xxx

I've got some strawberry & raspberry or peppermint tea bags. Do you think either of those would help? Typical that I start to feel like this on a fast day lol! xxx

Okay guys, so I've just sat and set myself some long-term goals which I think are achieveable, so long as I stick to my guns...

17-11-14 (two weeks time with 3lb to lose): Aiming to be in the 11's
22-12-14 (last WI before Christmas): Aiming to be 11st 7lb
09-02-15 (last WI before Valentines): Aiming to be 10st 10lb (lightest weight with SW)
20-04-15 (last WI before Warren's birthday): Aiming to be 10st
06-07-15 (last WI before my birthday): Aiming to be 9st 7lb
12-10-15 (1 year anniversary since starting CC / 5:2): Aiming to be at 9st target

Fingers crossed!!
