Wendy and Reesy, fabulous losses, and well done to all who are back on track. Ann, well done and fancy them giving chocolates as a raffle prize! Gene prepare yourself to come to Anns aid again, I coudn't resist them!
I havn't been able to get online for a few weeks, but here's my update. I weighed myself last week; (7.1.09) and had gained 4lb . Weighed today and I've lost 3 of them, phew!

Good luck everybody, holidays are creeping up on us all

T'was The Month After Christmas

Twas the month after Christmas,
and all through the house,
Nothing would fit me,

not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled,

the chocolate I'd taste

At the holiday parties

had gone to my waist.



When I got on the scales

there arose such a number!

When I walked to the store

(less a walk than a lumber),

I'd remember the marvellous meals I'd prepared;

The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared,

The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese

And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."



As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt

And prepared once again to do battle with dirt...

I said to myself, as I only can,

"You can't spend a winter, disguised as a man!"

So, away with the last of the sour cream dip.

Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip.

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished

Till all the additional ounces have vanished.



I won't have a cookie, not even a lick.

I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.

I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.

I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.



I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore...

But isn't that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.
Happy New Year to all, and to all a good diet.




Oooops nearly forgot......lost a pound this week.

[w3ndy]

LOl love it, well done on the loss JB here's another another I've found....

Hello, do you know me?
If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why?

It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm Only One Pound, just a pound. Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds or fifteen pounds, but never only one, so I just stick around and happily keep you fat.

Then I add to myself ever so slyly so that you never seem to notice it, that is until I've grown to ten, twenty or even more pounds in weight. Yes, it's fun being Only One Pound of fat, left to do as I please.

So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying "Oh, I only lost one pound." (as if that were such a terrible thing!)

For you see, if you do this you'll encourage others to keep me around because they will think I'm not worth losing. And I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you. Happy Days!!

After all, I'm Only One Pound of fat!!!

[Gemma Louise]

I am on a new year diet as well, would like to lose 2 stone for June x

[jools]

Wendy, that poem is on the 1lb of fat that my slimming world consultant takes to group obviously good "thinspiration" haha.

I managed to lose 4.5lbs this week, very pleased with the first week back on track.

Well done all, great weeks all roung. It seems like we're all heading in the right direction for summer!

[jools]

Forgot to mention, I bought my first 2 bikinis today

I know it's early, but I always struggle since I was blessed (or cursed as it might seem!) with a big pair of boobs and a smaller bottom half.

So, I took advantage of the mix and match deals in BHS, who are the only high street retailers to really cater properly for me. (It always upsets me that M&S do such great underwear but don't take it as far as their swimwear!)

Anyway, the long and short of it is that I've got to look a bit better to get myself into those now haha!
