Tis the season (Part 2)


Yep... this time I do mean Christmas... there... I've said it... The 'C' word! Tesco is full of it... even Pennys have the reindeer jumpers out on display! So time to jump on the bandwagon and have a challenge to get into those LBDs! Less stuffed turkey and more HOT chicks! 

There will be a theme to each week... just to try to keep myself focussed... There will be a weekly chart (except 2 weeks when I'm away!) but I'll catch up... so no excuses for you lot not keeping it up! 

 There will be a post every Thurs/Fri to post your losses, leave the chart to me! I think it really helps, let me know what you think... Seeing the 1 and 1/2 pounds all the way along really remind me that I'm consistently losing... less likely to jump ship!

 So... since it will be 14 weeks to Christmas... the title writes itself! 14 by 14!

14lbs by 2014 is a dress or pant size! Imagine New Years Eve people?!? Fabliss!!! Pant dropping indeed! 

 Half a pound a week is a silver 7! Who doesn't love a bit of bling for Christmas!
1 pound a week is a stone!
2 pounds is two stone... you get the idea.. 

 Now, no one go aiming for 6 stone by Christmas... we all know thats a set up for failure! 2lbs a week is the max... anything else is a bonus! A loss is a loss ... so no moaning 'I only lost.. ' your down... tiaras off and give over! 

There will be tougher weeks than others... Halloween is one to prepare for... all those feckin' treats... I swear I'm asking em to do tricks this year! The Christmas lunches and parties won't be far behind... but if you want it bad enough... no preaching here... you know the rest!



Next week is the first weigh in.. so for this week.. check your weight and your inches... and report a loss on the post next week! If you're happier to just download the top graphic with the weekly dates and do it on your own... then do... and keep me posted on how you're getting on.. if you want to just tweet your losses and not have a record of them on here.. you know where I am! But remember why you're doing it... and there's no public flogging on here! yet! LOL

 Happy Bubble gal, a regular on here lost 17.5 inches in six weeks on her personal challenge >>> HERE<<< ... so no moaning 'I've stayed the same..' when your pants are falling down! I'm not having that muscle V fat argument again!

 So who's up for it... and I mean committing to the full 14 weeks... I'm aiming for 2 lbs a week... that's 2 stone lighter by the time Santa arrives and I've still got holidays to get through... somebody hold me!!!

    I'd love to participate, needing something to get myself back on track! I don't have a youtube or live journal or anything to keep track of my weightloss anymore but I'll start one if it's required. :)

      If you think a live journal will help go for it! also on twitter there is a hashtag #TWYE (tweet what you eat) and people post up their meals.. or even if you just get a fancy notebook and keep it on you all the time.. x

    Hey Doll, thanks for all your great posts and advice! I love your blog and your attitude, its totally how I feel a lot of the time. I'd love to part of the challenge if you could include me. I'm aiming for 2lbs per week but I'd settle for 1lb, anything is good!

    Hi Doll, Helen here, so I hope that's my name on the list and not another Helen! I rejoined WW for the umpteenth (and I do mean last) time last Thursday. So I'll let you know what loss I have on Thursday. I'm up for the challenge - wouldn't it be fab if we could lose 2lb per week for the next 14 weeks.
    ps, well done see you are on the shortlist for blog awards.

    Hi Doll, drum role please everybody.... I lost 4.5lbs on first week of WW. Well chuffed. And you no what I can honestly say I was not hungry. I had my full daily points allowance + my weekly 49 points spread over a couple of days. I'm wondering do all/some of you always have your entire 49 points each week. I'm planning to initially anyway.. just wondering what others do. thanks
