Well done Wp 🎉
I've well and truly fallen but I'm still showing a bit of restraint so partly limiting the damage. I was out last night, I'm out tomorrow and then on Saturday having a few days away. We are back on 28th and from then it will be đź’Ż focus.
Having said that, I'm 7kg down this year - 15.5lb - so better than it could have been. 7kg off next year will get me to goal. Total so far, 24.5kg - 54lb - down from December '21.

Geoff has done brilliantly this year and is more focused than me at the moment. That will help me no end when I'm ready to get back on track.

Hello fellow IKWYDLS-ers.
Christmas is done and I've put on a few more lbs than expected, but no regrets and no feeling guilty this year. I enjoyed what I ate and had a fabulous time with family.
We got home yesterday and today I'm back on my healthy eating plan and went to the gym this morning. My new year is starting today. How are you bearing up?

That is great news GM never regret a nice time be it holiday or family.

I also was back on it today and glad to get back to normal food.My routine of running stayed as always it keeps me sane during stressful Christmas.Had to cancel race on Boxing day but turned it into a positive by running 7 miles instead.

I agree my NY started today and building a good block of healthy eating and habits along with training.

Thanks GM last race of year tomorrow a favorite as over 1000ft elevation it is a tough beast but it is cancelled due to storm so held virtually if you want.You could get money back but it was ÂŁ16 and for local Cricket club as a fundraiser so I shall run my ten miles tomorrow with a lot less elevation :)

Weigh in day tomorrow but hopped on scales....this past week I have eaten chocolate brazils,chocolate peanuts and stuffed dates and Jelly Beans......I have lost another pound so far -4lbs this year:-)

Knowing that the consistent application of small changes ie good habits, is key to success, I'm going to pick up to 3 habits a week to focus on.
This week, I'm focusing on:
daily calorie deficit
daily 10k steps
3 x resistance training at the gym
