WEIGH IN Week6 - 5 do's!!!



Hey Dolls... First up.. thanks for all the feedback on my little emotional break down earlier this week... its funny how an argument on twitter can lead to a post that evoked a lot of emotion from people.. and so many people feeling exactly the same... I thought is was all about me?!? LOL Can you all do me a favor this week and compliment someone? really take a second to say 'that color really suits you?' or 'you're looking great' .. Karma will bring it back to you I promise!

Week 6 weigh in.. I stayed the same mercifully... But the push is on now for Christmas.. and one pound a week can have everyone down half a stone!!! A pound is MORE than achievable!!
Post weight losses below.. we're halfway there!!!



Lots of people think that there’s really not any point to dieting between now and new year. Not true.. here's 5 tips ( i don't like rules!) to keep you on track... 

Think January 1st before the First Bite 
Two months of overindulging and blaming it all on santa, will mean January 1st is depressing and all about backtracking. We all want a positive start to the new year.. that won't happen if you're thinking about the extra stone you found under the tree! Sure we'll all be hung over but this isn't Ground Hog Day, same outcome different year, so I think about January 1st before you take the first bite.

Burn It to Earn It 
One of the best tips I got from a leader was to exercise the MORNING of the party or event. I already know I'm going out and I'm going to have a good time. But if I do one hour of exercise in the morning I find I make smarter choices and feel less “guilt.” Getting rid of  guilt and food is a big thing for me.

Hydrate You will drink. *hiccup* Just make sure you have water first! Not only drink your water before the festivities, but alternate water with your cocktails, I know I know who am I kidding... just stick with me.... You’ll feel better in the morning!

Offer to Prepare Hate Food 
I know you want to bring a dish to the party that everyone will love. But you don’t always have to bring the dish you love. I'm starting to bring things that aren't my favorite. If I bring a dish I LOVE I will snack on the way AND leave extra at home for nibbles before bed...  If I make something that isn’t my favorite, I have a much better chance of sticking to plan.

Wear Tight Clothes 
Elastic is not your friend. Break out the jeans that are a little snug when you're cooking, christmas shopping and the wear the smallest size fit for work. I am spending all my money on gifts right now. You don’t have the money to buy bigger sizes. I want to continue to fit into my clothes!!!

  1. Good tips for xmas there! I was down 2lbs this week which meant I got my 50lb cert. Can't believe I have lost 50lbs since january - all your challenges have helped me get there Doll! Only 9lbs left to goal :-)

  3. Thanks for the ideas! I love your blog, and I couldn't agree more. People do think it's pointless to keep "dieting" btwn now and Christmas. I think that's the worst mistake I make during the year, because as soon as I give myself a free pass, it's an extremely steep slope to gaining back everything I've lost during the year. Then, with New Years, the resolution starts all over. Best to not break up the momentum.

  5. My scale is broken, so I haven't got a clue, so lets just say I stayed the same, and hopefully I'll be able to buy a new one this weekend! I'm allowing myself a very generous week off over Christmas, so that is helping me keep motivated until then!

  8. Down another one. 3 to go to get under 10 stone again ;) Starting to look thinner now in my clothes etc. so it's a bit of a motivation to keep going.

  9. I'm up 5lbs..seriously cannot get myself sorted at all! I'm hoping to be down them next week but who knows. You're right about keeping up over Christmas - it was Christmas last year when I was at goal and I started to slip back. I have a wedding to go to in March - I will be near goal then!
