I lost 10kg in the three months before Xmas - thanks Weight Watchers! Was really motivated to lose the 10-12kg that I wanted to ... and I got there by doing tons of walking, eating the right sort of foods, portion controlling and tracking what I ate.

Then came December. My birthday, DS1's first birthday, 3 x xmas parties, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve. See where I'm going with this?

I decided early in Dec to "take a break'. I was having trouble getting my head around the new ProPoints system at WW - not that it's hard, just a completely different way of counting and tracking points - and thought a break might do me well in "cutting the ties" of the old Points system.

My return weigh-in is tomorrow morning. I estimate I've put on about 2kg. So ... I want to lose 2-4kg. But my motivation has gone AWOL.

Maybe I packed it away with the last of the chrissie decs? I think it's because I'm basically back to my pre-baby weight and my care factor isn't what it was back at the start of September. Trouble is, I feel a little blah - the tummy is looking a bit podgy and I'm noticing the lack of regular exercise. I know how to feel good - the message just needs to compute from my brain to my lazy backside.

And inspiring words would be welcome. Plllleeeeeeeeeeeaaase!
