    Hope everyone's well.

    I haven't posted here for a good month or two, but I've been reading most posts. Well done if you've
    lost and good luck if you've been stalling recently - put it behind you and move on :o)

    I've gone through quite a rough patch with my ME/CFS/CFIDS, so have not been able to exercise - not
    even the short walks I was doing before :o( (Not been up to posting either because of it...)

    Ah well, never mind. I did put on about half a stone (7 lbs), but I feel like I'm pretty much back
    on track and I think I've lost a pound or two already. I'm still not exercising really, because I
    want to get better (I think that's my first goal before weight loss and exercise!) - but I have
    managed to stay *quite* OP! It's not completely OP, but for this time of year it's good enough.

    I wanted to get back on track *before* Christmas to make sure that I don't completely let myself go
    over the holiday and get back to my starting weight. I think it's best to get a hold on things as
    soon as you can.

    Here's to a healthy and happy Christmas if you celebrate it! If not, I hope you're able to have a
    nice break (and stay happy and healthy of course!)

    Oh, laura; I know just what you mean! It's so hard when I can't exercise and only walk short
    distances. I have FMS, which is similar to CFS as well as severe arthritis mainly in my back and
    knees and a ruptured lumbar disk. So, I DO know what you're going through.

    Have a nice Christmas and try to take it easy.

    Great thinking. I put a bit on over my holiday, and was determined to lose at least a bit before
    Christmas. I feel as if I've achieved something now and you do too by the sounds of it.

    Have a great christmas, and I hope santa doesn't bring too many things to tempt you🙂

    Thanks for the reply. FMS sounds awful - CFS is bad enough! :o( I did manage to take it fairly easy
    over Christmas, although I did most of the driving because alcohol can affect me quite a bit when
    I'm ill! If you did anything for Christmas, I hope it wasn't too stressful. And here's to a healthy
