Never gets tired of SW!
Good afternoon
Its getting harder and harder to get online at the moment.
Pesty, as Margy said, its that time of year and you will have oodles of time to get it back off in the new year.
I have given up on loosing anything now, its hard to maintain at the moment, 2 meals out this week and night on the tiles with friends. Have got to miss WI and will get back on it after Christmas now. That sounds so bad doesn't it!! I'm not going to justify it at all, things still aren't good at home, after the weekend away, things went back to how they were
So not quite.. Given up, as still making good choices on the days I am not out.. But..there goes my Christmas Challenge. It'll be a new year challenge that i will need to get my A..e into gear now.
Well done on your loss Minxy, thats blooming great at this time of the year
Ronnie, i will join you in that Santa request

Hi EF, it's silly season and it's so hard to stay on track with everything going on!! I've made a pledge to maintain for Christmas and if I do lose anything well it's a big brucey bonus! So much going on, food galore, nights out, choir concerts, silly amount of chocs and biccies in work etc etc, Christmas stress, family stress, financial stress
! I'm just doing the best I can when I can and enjoying the naughty moments! Why don't you just try and maintain, don't see it as black and white, on plan or off plan, we can be on some days and off some days so just do your best without having to 'blow it' completely!! XXX
Eternalflame
Excited about the new me!
Thanks FC. The days I am not out with meals etc, I will do my best to stay on track.
Thanks for your support xxx

My belly this will be!
Gerroff! your making it up incha!
I am staying at my daughters so no choice with food - they are being kind enough allowing for my strange vegan ways! Also no computer time in the evenings so only moments I can grab at work at the mo! Think I may be in the ''given up till the new year camp". No scales there either! Will be staying with daughter till snow clears. One mile a day to walk in to work but it is getting more slippery as the days go by and all the walking feet polish the ice. Ho hum.

Well done Sarah for your brilliant loss and SOTW too. xxx

Pesty, it was probably mostly food weight or a bit of water retention or something. If you stick to plan all week it should right itself next week. Bodies are a pain in the backside at doing what we want them to do.
Margy, its all part and parcel of maintaining - I gained within target range after a week of feeling pretty miserable and stressed, but stayed in control and pulled it back this week. Dont for a second believe that "thats it" when you get to target, it really isnt. The job just gets harder because all the things you stopped having scream at you from the shelves "you have done it now, remember me, I am here! woo-hoo!!"
I think it might be a little premature to be calling myself a yo-yoer. I am simply adjusting to my new size and working out how I can be more flexible now.
It is such a great feeling to reach target, but you really have to think beyond that point. You work so hard to get to that point, that when you get there, once the euphoria wears off, you are left a little empty, and wondering where to go now, and what to focus on. Which is precisely why I am still going to WI, and see myself doing so for the foreseeable future.
EF, I am so sad to hear that things have gone back to how they were. I dont know how you have even managed to lose anything this year with things having been the way they are at home. I think, personally, and others are free to disagree with me, that you need to get that sorted first and foremost, before you focus on tackling your weight. Your self esteem is being eroded, and you have so many battles on your hands that you almost have too much to deal with.
I think its really important that you sort your home life out before you tackle anything else. How is your job situation now? Are you still waiting to find out what the future holds? Just try and maintain what you have lost, and once you find yourself in a better place, then you will be much better placed to get back properly on plan and work towards getting to where you are happy with yourself. I think some of that will come when you get out of this relationship, but it will take some time and only you will know when that time is right.
Massive hugs.
Jim, WELL DONE!!!! You are such a star and so focussed. Really proud of you

Pesty, sorry honey, mis read that.. you are on track then, no need to worry as it will come off if you keep doing what you are doing honey.
Thanks MLM. To be honest Im up and down every day, not sure what the atmosphere will be like at home from one day to the next. So emotionally a bit of a wreck, lol.. With regard to the Job situation, they extended the consultation to the end of Nov, which means the job descriptions will be out end of this week for the new structure and my manager has booked us all in for a meeting on Monday to discuss how and if we will fit into that structure. So all will be revealed on Monday I suppose. I'm done with worrying about that daily, as what will be will be. Have almost finished my NVQ4 at work now, so will walk away with that and have signed up to some agencies as well. So Plan B is in place. Did a training session on updating my CV to today's style and interview techniques, which was brilliant, so my CV looks much better then it did now.
Hope that once the new year is here, things will start being on the "up". Right now, just getting through each day and looking forward to Christmas is keeping me focussed. Thanks again for your lovely words. Means a lot to me. xxx

Heres a plan then... its a cunning one!
Make your own atmosphere. Even if he is being Mr Frosty, you be Mrs Sunshine. Dont let his moods and behaviour affect you, or at least dont allow him to see if they do. The more you do something, the easier it will become to be it. It will irritate the hell out of him, because he comes across as a bit manipulative, and given recent events (nicey nice again to lull you into a false sense of security, followed by a return to form) its time he lost the control he has over you. You deserve better than this. You do!
Its time to take control and start to make your own environment. He can only tarnish it while you let him. You are a strong, amazing woman - why are you letting the way he behaves influence you so strongly?
You dont need this, and you dont need him. It is time to be you. He will soon get bored of being an ass if he doesnt get any reaction from you and you dont react in the way he wants you to.
Time to get a little unpredictable lady!!

EF - Im so sorry about the home situation!! I was really hoping that things were going to get better for you. I can only echo what MLM has said, you are an AMAZING woman.
Smiling releases endorphines and makes you happy, so smile!! Dont let him get you down, dont let him waste your time!! It is so hard to act like everything is ok when it isnt, but to let it get to you when there's nothing you can do about it is more painful than putting it to the back of you mind.
Who knows, if you act like everythings fine then maybe gradually it will be!!
Luverick huni! Hello!! You are still within target range if you are 2 under - and that's great if you had a really naughty night!! That's the point of target isnt it? Enjoy yourself but in moderation and then the nights that you go mad use your tools to pull it back to target again.
I think you and MLM are both doing AMAZINGLY with your maintaining!!

Oh come on, Lurverick - what did you have? And was it good?
Those of us still labouring in "Trying-To-Lose-Land" need to know what kind of blowouts you Target people manage. Even if it makes us green with envy. (About the same colour you were, maybe?)

Gerroff! your making it up incha!
Of course I am, Margy.
I'm making it up. And the Consultant, and the Weighing lady, and the people at group all agreed that they would let me keep the illusion that I was losing weight, cos I get so nasty when I gain.
Really I'm now up to 27 stone 4, and flatten everyone who accepts my wrestling challenges. And all the pictures I've ever posted have been of impostor dwarf-people, photo-shopped into clothes that look a bit like some of mine.
Anyone wanna argue with me??? Come on. Give it a try...
