Happy New Year to all of you and well done to everyone!!
I will be making no mention of how everyone may have slipped up over the festive season (including myself) but, instead, can anyone think of one positive thing about January to help us get over one of the most difficult months of the year.
Here is last months thread

Thanks for the welcome folks, will certainly be visiting on a regular basis. Everyone seems very positive and it's great to have support.

Jan, don't worry. We are ALL dreading it. I was in town today and went out thinking that I looked pretty okay. After the mirrors in the changing rooms I came home thinking I looked like two ton Tessie, the bride of Dracula.
Don't you all agree with me that those mirrors are made to make us look bigger or am I in denial do you think?

I hate the mirrors in shop changing rooms. They have the mirrors so you can see all around yourself and usually the lighting is so harsh and bright and it casts all shadows making people look older as well and the shadows make dark lines under every minor wrinkle. It's so depressing. You'd think they'd have softer lighting so you'd want to spend more time in there and buy more things. I haven't weighed myself over Christmas, but will tomorrow, and I feel hopeful. :-)
Good Morning All,
Well I say, I have actually gone down 1 poud. I don't believe it after those mirrors yesterday. If it is true I think I shall rush out and buy another turkey which is what I have been eating since Christmas and enjoying.....lol
No matter how afraid you are about getting on those scales, please do it so we all know what we have to work with. Onwards and downwards !!! Here's to meeting our goals in 2012.

I have to own up, put on 6lb over the last two weeks. I'm not surprised or upset as I had a bad time over christmas and new year, coping with the first one without my husband, and ate and drank my way through it! I am still determined to carry on and will just have to be very good from now on and keep telling myself I've done well to lose the 3 stone. Good luck all and onwards and downwards in the new year.
