Ta Da! #final-weigh-in

We made it!!! WOO HOOO!!!! Final week of the challenge...

People sometimes ask 'why do you bother doing challenges?' and the answer is purely selfish... I need motivation... I need to see others losing weight so my competitive side will up its game! Yes there are times when I'm about to go to bed and I think 'feck I've got to do the chart' which is why my ability to lose count is bad! But if you look below, everyone who stuck it out, is down, be it half a pound or a stone, everyone is NOT UP and that was the goal in the run up to Christmas... people motivate each other, and seeing that, stops me face planting a bun! Simple as that... it's all about me dontchyaknow!

I won't add up the grand total till early next week once everyones checked in but seriously look at the losses... you're all amazing and I KNOW no one wants to lose all that again when January strikes!

AND, a HUGE thank you to all my guest posters.. if you ever need to check in with someone who's journey is real and they've been struggling too, people who have really been there... these people are the ones to follow... No one likes Miss Smug in fat camp... especially when you've been struggling all your life like me... so knowing that you've had a bad day/week/ month... it's nice to know that we've all been there and that you can start again without all the guilt and emotional head wreck and still continue your journey!

If you need a boost over the next two weeks... have a scroll through their blogs and I guarantee you'll be back on track before you know it!

I'll do a final post next week before Christmas to tot up how much the group have lost but be very proud of yourselves... imagine if you'd thrown in the towel a few weeks ago... I know for sure I'd have been up! So well done everyone! x

All together now in the style of Elvis!

Any excuse to play a Christmas song to be honest... It'll be all karaoke next week!

Some M&S goodies for the gluten free lovers amongst us... Honestly, gluten free stuff just makes me feel less bloated... and there's some really good offerings out there now, LIDL, Supervalu and many other places have upped their game... for people in your family who can't eat stuffing and christmas cake there's some great choices out there now... I passed these on my lunch break and thought I'd ProPoint them for you ...
