Well, that's better than nothing, and if I had gained it I would be feeling dreadful. After all 8ozs is a pack of butter, better off than on my hips. The dietician told me to remember over Christmas, that I am only human and not to set unrealistic goals... Go to parties, have a drink , have something to eat but don't pig out. I must remember my mantra 'All things in moderation and moderation in all things'
My knees and ankles are getting less painful, soon I'll be back to the long walks I used to enjoy.
In January I shall be only weighed once a month and I have been warned that there will be some months when the loss will be very little. I can hack that. I'm not in a race and I just focus on next Christmas when I will be half the size I am now.
I have 2 dozen mince pies in the oven I'm not saying I won't have one when the family do, but I shall just have 1/2 one and keep the other half for later
