Minus 3°C so very nippy. Chloe is happy she’s got 2 layers to keep her warm plus her hat. Soon be Christmas, Christmas party today at bowling club.

The Christmas party was lovely,too much food.I won 3 prizes on the raffle so not a bad day. Just took Chloe out it’s minus 1 so very cold. Soon be Christmas now.

Good morning all it’s minus 4°C here, got to take Chloe out soon. Will put her clothing on to keep her warm. A bloke looked at her and said she’s better dressed than him for the cold weather.She had 2 coats on and a hat😆.

Evening!
Dave- The Christmas party sounded good, what a feast! Maybe you should get a photo of Chloe in her coat & hat, good idea to use it for a Christmas card! Enoch’s teeth were chattering a bit when we got back today, so maybe he does get cold?
Lost a measly half pound last week, better than a gain but frustrating how hard I have to work for it 😬
I think I’ve finshed the Christmas present shopping now, waiting for some bits to arrive tomorrow & can do all the wrapping…going to make a small Christmas pudding, my friend’s fruit & chocolate recipe pud so it doesn’t keep like a normal one. Trying to resist all the goodies about!
Hope everyone else is okay 😍

Afternoon All..
So cold roll on Spring… crisp walk this morning just hate getting all the gear on to go but lovely once out.

Looks like not a fast day just had some toast.. awake at 4.30 made a cuppa at 5.30 although I did bob off for another hour. Too long day to fast and too cold..

I have been sneezing a lot hoping a cold/flu isn’t about…I shall hit a few hot whisky’s this evening just incase..

Might try for 2 hard fast days next week.. then yearly weigh in.

Dave..
I have been hitting a few chocolates shouldn’t put them in a dish under the tree too handy!!!

Hedgehog..
You seem to be all organised, I have just the fresh stuff to buy next week and a few things to bake.. all done

We had snow this morning but the rain washed it all away,I missed it all because I was in bed 🤣. The sky looks full of snow so I’ll take Chloe out before it starts.

Evening!
Dave- oh dear, eating all the chocolate Dave, tough time for you, sending you a hug & keep cuddling Chloe 😢
Jean- you sound organised too! Haven’t decided exactly what we’ll be having Boxing Day, need to plan that better!
Got all my Christmas cakes finished, still got puds to make & the presents to finish wrapping, have done some.
Off the diet for a break yesterday, we had a Chinese, but have done well today. Lots of walking- Xena, Enoch & delivered local cards, saw mum this afternoon- she was all coldy but pretending she wasn’t! Hope I don’t get it & pass it to hubby as he suffers with his sinuses!
Will have a lazier day tomorrow…

It’s Christmas Jean, enjoy the naughty food. It’s cold and pouring down here, going to get soaked taking Chloe out.Will have to take her coat off and just have the waterproof one on, it’s fur lined do she should be ok. Will risk the hat, can always dry it when we get back. HH I watched a TV show about dogs with extraordinary jobs, one was call Xena. It had been hit by a car and left to die by the roadside. A woman seen it on TV and took it in, the very didn’t have much hope it would survive but it did, hence the name Xena, the warrior.She has a son who as autism and dosent like his space being invaded,he wouldn’t touch food and they down thousands on him to help him. Xena jumped on his knee in the car and stayed there, he didn’t seem to mind and now they are best friends and he cuts up food for her. His life as totally changed.

Let me know Jean if your unsure about it.Been bowling so I ache now. The rain was on and off but played 3 full games 21 up, won 2 lost 1. All Christmas toffees have gone so I’ll top up tomorrow in Sainsbury’s.

My tin is overflowing now, nipped out to Sainsbury’s.

Aching again now after bowling. It was very cold today. Only 6 of us today.ive got my ultrasound scan next Wednesday so no bowling until the new year.

Morning All..
Fasting stopped for me till the 2nd Jan it will be the first fast day of the year ..
I will weigh in this morning to log for end of year.

Going out with my daughter for lunch.. I think Christmas afternoon tea but at lunch 😂…. We did it last year it was lovely and a good price too..

Dave..
A long day for you being up early.. enjoy your walk … tin full again don’t eat too much… have you got your stone off this year?

Shopping finished so that’s good, feet up now, roll on Christmas.Spent £40 on Chloe’s chews and treats. Good job it’s warmer or we would be deep in snow.🎅Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks Nana Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year to everyone one. Not going to be a white Christmas here, nice and sunny. And 8°C no doubt it will get cooler tonight. Time to take Chloe out.

Hello all & happy Christmas to you 🎅🎄
Busy week- lots of present wrapping, shopping, cleaning, cooking…Have lost a stone now, not sure what I weighed at the start of the year but definitely half a stone less. Have aimed for low days this week, will try not to go too mad at Christmas! We have a day to ourselves tomorrow, then mum, both boys & their girlfriends on Boxing Day. Aunt & Uncle coming for dinner the day after, plus son’s gf’s mum coming to pick her up, so we’ll meet her- from what he’s said I don’t think we’ll have anythi g in common 😬
Love to you all xx

Good afternoon everyone your all quiet so must be up to no good🤣 hopefully. All the Christmas choccy as gone, I had a big toblerone left but it’s an orange twist one and I didn’t like it.

Very wet here just got drenched walking Chloe. Rain is forecast all week🥴. Not looking forward to this week, don’t think I’ll bother about new year. I go for an ultrasound tomorrow.

Good afternoon, I’ve had my ultrasound scan, they didn’t find anything wrong and said if I’m in pain with it again to tell my doctor and they will do a different type of scan.

Well it’s stopped raining so took Chloe out without getting soaked for a change. Getting my days mixed up thought it was Friday today, had my coat on and said are we ready to go shopping, she said it’s only Thursday🥴😱.

It’s exactly a year since I lost Heidi 😭. Didn’t sleep much last night, kept thinking about the last ten minutes of her life.I can feel the tears coming so I better stop writing.

Happy New Year to all fatbusters

Happy New Year ..

That time of the year to start thinking about our health and our weight, a change of eating habits or to get back on board with 5.2 with more thought.

My first fast day of the year… Monday and Thursday unless I change with plans.

We need some of the old gang back to make their commitments for the year…it’s easy falling by the way side but you can get back on here every day and let’s move some weight!!!….
It would be nice to have some new people join us too.

Dave …
You have been keeping it going on here and with me too.. although you have been much better than me.

Hoping the gang returns…

Hello all from a chilly Scotland which is quite unbelievable in the middle of winter 🤣🤣.

Managed to gain some weight back in the last few months probably not helped by losing my dad in October so I’m now officially an orphan not so much Oliver Twist as around the twist.

First fast day for me this year going quite well so far though my stomach from the rumbling I’ve heard all day would tell a completely different story.

Hello Everyone,
Have had a lovely Christmas and New Year but need to get back into doing 5:2. Planning to make my Fds Monday & Thursday so am having my first fd today and it’s gone well and am getting ready to cook my preferred fd meal of salmon & Pasta.
Welcome back Typhoo.
Take care everyone.
Nana x
