HotMamas - some thin, some fat, all HOT

[FjorgynAndHotWater]

Just been back to look and this is the fifth HotMama thread Fingers crossed we all are where we want to be by the end of this one...

pmt crisp... drinking enough water.. my question mark doesn't work on my comp lol.. hugs i am sure it a temporary blip and if anyone can lose it quick you can ..

down 1lb here not brill but still a loss.. hoping to make it to dublin this weekend so have to be extra good today [sigh]

Oh bugger crispy Are you maybe suffering pre-menstrual bloating (which if it was me would also explain twingy back)? whatever it is, don't let it get you down, just try again to be good and am sure it'll come back off again. You've been between 10 - 10.5 for aaaages now so are doing really well

I am down 1.25lb today which isn't bad at all considering it was DD's party on saturday. Down 4.25lb on my regaining high but still a long way to go...

enya, great minds...

Well done on your -1, it's extra impressive as you've been incapacitated as well as being soooo close to your target

Sadly no PMS here, that was last week on my much lighter weigh in

Hurrah for your losses ladies. Well done, and well deserved

You will get back on crisp I have faith in you

20km done as well as running around like a mad woman all day... That's it for me now til Monday so fingers crossed I don't go too made this weekend

Ate like a bread-addicted pig yesterday but did manage 12 miles on my bike while my hair dye was working its grey-banishing magic so not a complete wash out for the day. Still managed to be up 4 this morning but at least 3 of those must be bread-based water retention so trying to be good today in the hope of weeing it all out again.

enya hope you are having a lovely time

crispy I hope your back is feeling better and you're managing to be a bit healthy this weekend

ursula come back!

No chance to bike today as DS didn't go to sleep until 9pm but been reasonably good with food and we were out walking for over an hour this afternoon. Not fast though! Planning a traipse round the shops tomorrow which should burn a few calories, as long as I can keep out of Caffe Nero...

Hi all,

So if I've got this right, this thread is for those kinda wanting to lose a bit of weight, but mainly needing a kick up the arse to do some exercise and stop themselves stuffing cakes down their throats 24/7?

If so, can I join ?

I signed up to do a marathon next November (as motivation) and haven't quite got into any schedule yet. I've now done 2x3miles runs and am back at the climbing wall once a week. I want to run 3 times a week, climb and do a cross training thing. Tonight however it's raining so I enjoyed a very nice brownie.

DD is 9 months so looking forward to toning myself up as well.

Hi climberchick . You've pretty much got it there, some of us have got to within a whisker of the weight they want (not me though...) and we are trying to chivvy each other along to step away from the cake and into some exercise (or ExerSazz) in honour of one of the founding members of the thread.

The rules are try and do 4x ExerSazz per week (at least 30 minutes each of pulse-raising activity) and we do a weigh in on Friday, before the ravages of the weekend

I find it quite helpful to post most days and confess my sins re food, in an attempt to avoid the lard for the shame of then admitting it...

Anyway, school's back open today (thank feck) so dropped DD off and walked into town. Have done about 3 hours of walking / lugging heavy shopping , no stop off in Caffe Nero and no pastries bought to scoff when i got home. Will try and do bike again tonight.

crispy and enya time to check in for a fresh week of healthful gorgeousness

ursula where are you?????

Lol fjor

fairly horrific weekend foodwise and wine oh an af arrival...

However have completed my 20km on bike and will do some sit ups later!!

This is the one and only time I will come on here and be happy I have gained which means my body has stopped trying to eat itself and is now stable! Unfortunately for me and my love of all the pate, cheese,bread,pasta and chips it is time for the affair to end. tomorrow we start again in ernest with no bread, 2 l of water a day and 3 meals a day!

No bread I've never understood how people can forgo carbs. I could anything if it's in a sandwich.

I'm going to do a run tonight. There saying it, will make happen, FACT!

Wrap up warm climberchick!

I only eat bread at the weekends now, I love it soooo much but once you have added butter and marmalade, or butter and cheese, or camembert the calories really pile on so easier just to go without.

Have done 12 miles on my bike again tonight so am fully ExerSazzed for today.

Hurrah for stabilising bbbb I hope we can help you keep away from those yummy things at least until a bit nearer Christmas

enya weekends don't count

ha, I'm in California [smug emoticon]. The sun is shining and it's 15 degs atm. Hence my posts will be at odd times.

do you have good gloves when cycling then?

You can go off people you know...

The biking I do is all strictly stationary on my exercise bike so no gloves needed. It's bloody freezing here, -7 already and not even 10.30pm, so even if I had a real bike I wouldn't be out on it

Evening

Bit pickled and my swim this avo turned into a sauna and jacuzzi . Also have eaten my body weight in fajitas and drunk copious amounts of wine

Welcome Climber and very of the sunshine

-8 here (or so said my friendly taxi driver!)

crispy you slacker Sounds like a lovely evening though

I actually got in my car yesterday evening, after 10 minutes scraping all the snow off it I actually drove it Only to turn it round mind you! It's facing the right way now at least so hoping to get to the supermarket in a while for lots of lovely healthy food. MIL wants to meet us there 'for lunch' ooh the glamour of lunch at asda but gave the excuse of health health health so will only have a cuppa with her.

crispy your evening sounded lush ..

did my 20km before my marthon hairdressing appointment.. now have hair extentions .. if i gain lots this week its because of the extra hair

PMSL at the heavy hair excuse enya It does look fab on fb, looking forward to seeing it for real on Monday

Done 20 miles today, 6 first then 14 later. I must be lighter on Friday. Have cheated with a finger of fudge and two jelly sweets but that's only 150 calories and I only had a bit of cheese and some fruit for lunch.

Very quiet on here, hope you're not off stuffing your faces

Had a (nicely) surprising mid-week weigh in this morning, although this is probably due to upset tummy (sorry TMI ) and am on the train again today hence mucho welly-walking. There is a tin full of Quality Street and a jar of kitkats in the office; have so far managed to avoid them completely

I'm here

Well done on the sweetie serve fjor and your fabulous biking tho sorry to hear about your poorly tum tum

done my 20km but no weigh in for me too scared after the weekend indulgence

will do some sit up when I plonk dd2 in the bath

Sorry, sorry, i have been vair vair rubbish and in hiding

After no swim or pilates and face stuffing on Mon, i didn't walk to school yesterday due to school visit and nativity. Walked about a mile and that was it (albeit in -7). No gym today as DD1 poorly so i have shredded (hurrah!) Level 1 with weights and with both DDs . The sight of DD2 doing cycle crunches did make me giggle

I MUST do some proper exercise tomorrow and will limp through to Friday with 3.5 ExerSazz (did a long walk at the w/e thank fuck goodness). However we are away again this weekend and going out for dinner & takeaway

No gain/no loss would be a godsend this week

Great biking ladies

Hurrah, you're both back! Sadly not in time to stop me from eating three Roses chocs... but I was out for over an hour at lunchtime not according to my flexisheet and walked them off before they were eaten lame excuse

Am v impressed at both your efforts to combine childcare with exercise

Crispy you have today and tomorrow to be good, and just try not to go too crazy at the weekend and you'll be fine.

enya don't forget, any weight gain is just hair

Oh no fuck Fjorn - i decided to do a treat for illing DD1 and cooked up some popcorn. Neither of the DDs liked it so i ate the whole bloody lot myself

DH not here tonight so I will do a jacket spud and cottage cheese to try to repair some of the damage

Well done on the extra stolen exercise

What evil calorific topping did the popcorn have? Lashings of butter or golden syrup? ooh I really fancy some popcorn now

Done another 12 tonight bloody knackered now...
