Yes x 3. Good walk into village with the dogs.

3 Yes including a good walk around a local village with a Christmas Market. Managed to find a few Christmas presents (only buy for husband and sister, but have been very short of ideas (and cash!) this year. It was my dad's 90th birthday today (18 Dec) so my sister and I had a good chat with him on the phone this evening.

Yes x 3 for me. Walked about 1hr with puppy, my sister and her dog. My sisters' dog is tiny but has quite long legs, and it's amazing how she keeps up with puppy who is about 5 x her size. Had to use my exercise calories today, so just scraped in under. Still managing to stick to relatively low refined carbs, so am pleased…

Pass day #2 for me - got plenty of exercise and didn't eat too badly, but had too much wine. Didn't track. Not sure how it is going to be over the next couple of weeks with my guest and her dog. (Mine are being not too bad but as the visiting dog is so small and mine are big and bouncy they need watching all the time as…

Thought I was going to need a pass day today. My sister arrived, having driven down from England, bringing her lovely little dog with her. Wasn't sure how she (the dog) was going to integrate with my not-very-well socialised medium-sized dogs - it is still a work in progress but hopefully things will settle down soon. With…

Exercise -Yes Calorie goal - Yes Tracking - Yes Walk around village, recycling and lots of "getting house ready for visitors" today, plus usual "going mad with puppy" session.

3 Yes for me, barely. Plenty of walking but close on calories. I have put my goal up a little as my visitor arrives tomorrow (all being well) and I want to build in a little leeway. Was tempted to stop tracking and weighing (I weigh daily) but for me that would be a slippery slope - also I would have to come on here and…

Better day here today, Had to be out early today to go to have our hair cut so just a short chase round with puppy. Did have a good walk around the village after hairdresser, and have done quite a bit at home as well, so yes x 3 for me. Both dogs are going for their haircut tomorrow (puppy 's 1st time!) so should be fun.…

I do find being part of this group inspiring, and very supportive. It encourages me to make the effort even when I'm not really feeling like it. No snow here, but it has been raining on and off all day, so not conducive to doing much outside. I did manage some exercise with the puppy though, so Yes x 3 for me. Sympathies…

Exercise mostly indoors today, due to miserable weather, but still got some puppy-chasing in between the showers. So 3 Yes for me. Hope everyone is having a good day.

3 Yes for me!

Yes x 3 again. Had a good morning in the village at the annual "telethon" - a fund-raising event involving the local fire brigade. They were supposed to be doing car-washing by hand for a donation, but I'm not sure how they managed to stop the water from freezing. Got a nice Christmas wreath for my door, and some greenery…

@astroamy - sorry I can't do fireworks like @RangerRickL but if I could I'd send you a bucketful! Really well done and an inspiration to me to keep going when (as now) I flag a bit.

Yes x 3 for me today.

Hi All. Yes x 3 again for me.

Yes x 3 for me. Ended up being well under on calories as the recipe I'd prepared for supper to serve the 2 of us actually made 3 portions (so one for the freezer!). Pleased that we didn't just mindlessly finish the pot between us - I think some healthier habits are creeping up on my husband by stealth.

@dejavuohlala Sorry you're having a hard time at the moment. Look forward to seeing you in the New Year. 3 Yes for me on this very misty day.

3 Yes for me again. Lovely day again here, still sunny but cool. Walked into the village and back (4km approx) to order a new battery for the car. Also a bit of a rush around the garden with the puppy, as usual.

3 x Yes again today, including a 4km walk inc. hills. Lovely bright crisp day again, but the light covering of snow has now gone. As I am retired I really have no excuse for not fitting in some exercise, but as it doesn't come naturally to be I have to make the effort not to let the day get away from me. If I am walking at…

3 Yes for me today - exercise was mainly running around with puppy on the frosty grass. Just within calories. I made a mince tart to test out my home-made mincemeat (different recipe to my usual one) and only had the tiniest piece to taste - husband did the major tasting and pronounced it acceptable, so will make another…

Yes x 3 today.

Bad start to December I'm sorry to say - so not looking good for the Winners Circle this month either. Had fish and chips for lunch in a local restaurant (rare treat in rural France!) then shopping in small local supermarket. Car refused to start when we had finished shopping so had to wait about 1hr for a breakdown truck…

Ending the month on a high with Yes x 3! Hope we all have a great December.

3 x Yes for me today - finally getting back to it!

This is a great challenge! Very supportive and motivating.

Hi all. Got my exercise in today, but over on calories and didn't track. Has been a stressful week, but set to get better. Sorry @RangerRickL but I am out of the winners circle on my first month. Disappointed in myself this past week, but determined to persevere!

Not a good time - exercised but not tracking and probably over goal. Husband's birthday so some excuse... I mainly walk. Our car is back on the road so don't have to shop on foot, but still walking the dogs and to get around.

3 Yes for me (barely) but carbs are creeping back in (wine, potatoes, bread mainly) and I'm feeling decidedly sluggish and fat. Husband's birthday today, lunch out tomorrow, the back on the straight and narrow! I have just over 2 weeks until my Christmas visitor arrives, complete with her dog, so I'm determined to get a…

Made the mistake of going into our local bakery, forgetting that Saturday is the day they do their wonderful garlic bread - so that's my calories exceeded! Exercise was fine - lots of walking.
