HotMamas - it's Hot and so are we

[FjorgynAndHotWater]

Not good to confess so much badness at the start of a new thread so I'll save that for next week

What busy bees you were yesterday! Well done sazz and loti

No exercise from me, was still feeling dog rough, but feeling a lot better today. Not sure I will have time for an exersazz tomorrow as will be on tidying up duty. We have another viewing of the house on Saturday Fingers crossed it is 5th time lucky, this is how many engineer visits it took to get the heating working again so maybe there is a pattern forming...

Anyway am within a whisker of last Friday's weigh in even with just two exersazzes so not all is lost just yet.

Glad you are feeling better fjorny and fingers crossed for the viewing!

Scales did NOT look good this am nearly 2lb up on last week think my weekend is coming back to haunt me

Feeling really bloated too so going to gulg lots of water and try and get one more exersazz in, it will only be a half hour session as life takes over

Good luck for your viewing Fjorgyn!

Did eat some biscuits at toddler group yesterday, but that was during DS's epic 40 minute sobbing meltdown so I am blaming him Managed to do some yoga in the evening though - I wouldn't class it as exersazz since it doesn't raise my heartrate as such, but I definitely felt it last night/this morning. Also had plenty of time to get it done as DH didn't get home till half ten and then had to work till 1.30am :( which rather scuppered my plan of some mutual exersazzing!

Well done on the yoga star

Cardio and fat burn DVD done

Any exercise is better than none Star, and the yoga will have helped toning/flexibility and your soul . 3 workouts in one

1k run, 1hr pilates, 2hrs Xmas shopping and 30 minute Abs 'ripping' with Jillian. It is quite funny as they have tried to prettify her and failed

I weighed in this morning as i am out tonight - it was evens which is ok i guess given last weekend and I am defininitely feeling more toned which is fab

yeah, come back everyone! if even a serial quitter like me can make it, so can you all.

Arse buggar +1.5...

Gym this am pt session and cardio...

Bugger loti maybe you should try my new patent pending method of weight loss - one swim and one shred, lots of oven chips and..... -1

Seriously though, you are so slim already that I really think the scales are not your friend and you need to concentrate on the tightness of your skinny jeans. How are they fitting at the moment?

Been for a swim so got at least one exersazz in this week...

Just updated my weight loss graph () and it has taken me SEVEN weeks to lose the 3lb I put on in ONE WEEK on my holidays better rein in the Chjristmas scoffage this year fat chance

Right am here! What now? Do I need to bare all and tell you how much I weigh and what the target is?

Hello merlion

You can tell us how much you weigh if you want but don't need to, although I fnd an occasional mention helps my memory (despite having a chart and everything )

Maybe just tell us how much you want to lose and how long you want it to take.

We all try, with varying levels of success, to do at least 4x 30 minutes of heart rate-raising exercise (exersazz in honour of our taskmaster ) per week, and swerve too much calorie laden food with even less success. Weigh in is on a Friday morning. That's it, welcome aboard!

Welcome Merlion

Pt session and 30 mins cardio

Fjorny really bloated at the mo so skinny jeans are a very tight fit need to eat better and not stuff myself with rubbish

Bugger re your jeans loti, NO PRINGLES for you tonight!!!!

DH is off out tonight so I will have the house to myself as long as the DC stay asleep. Have been pondering all day what to have for my tea as am just cooking for me but nothing really appealed. One tiny piece of moussey chocolate cheescake at work and inspiration has struck.... what I really want is a family-sized tiramisu all to myself not sure if I dare though...

Stamps feet up and down and sticks lip out ... I LOVE PRINGLES ...

No Pringles = no tiramisu for fjorny

No weigh in for me as some ale was supped last night. I did walk over a mile to the pub though, so that must have done some good. Right?

1hr circuits this morning which was painful as i pulled my back yesterday courtesy of Jillian and her silly moves. However, feels ok ish now. Off out to a friends tonight so i am anticipating wine and pizza

LOL at your personal tiramasu Fjorn. Might i suggest reading the wheel labelling first? That might guilt you into changing your mind be interesting.

Boo re ++ LOTI, but you really are lovely and slim and the scales are bonkers

Welcome Merlion, as Fjorn said, healthy eating at least 5 days out of 7 and 4x Exersazz per week. However we have all worked out if you want good proper losses, then healthy eating needs to be 7/7

When i lost my 4+ stone i used Food Focus where you log all food and exercise. When i followed it properly i lost what it said i should and was c.2lb per week. Good luck with it, and let us know if you would prefer the bootcamp style hardcore kick up the ass support, or more gentle handholding. We can supply either

We aren't very good at this are we? - Pizza, Tiramasu & Pringles. Not exactly what weightwatchers ordered

We should be leading our newbies by example, instead we are just rubbish

Don't forget the sazz

Yes but if I hav tiramisu I won't want wine will I so that saves a few calories oh but I can have Black Russians instead...

Ok so what about Friday night treat night and good for the rest of the weekend?

hey, it is friday.

nice to see you here Merlion :)

how many calories do you reckon carrying a 14lb baby around for hours burns? she's v clingy today, bless her. surely i have achieved some inadvertent squats and lunges while bending down to make DS put his pants back on for the ten thousandth time today

Evenin'

I'm back :) and 22lbs lighter than when I last joined :o I still have another 22ish lbs to go before I am where I want to be but there are 3 birthdays, christmas and NEw year before I need to reach my target!

The chips tonight may not help!

star - loads!

pample good work! I too am down 22.25lb on the start of my hotmama journey. Sadly though that started in May 2009, I lost 30lb in 28 weeks then it was Christmas and it's been tits up ever since Turns out I am just under my overall average weight for the last two years so fingers crossed a pattern is emerging.

This is unlikely though as following star's mention of the skanky dinner thread I have been drooling over it and now have cheese & onion crispbakes and mini kievs in the freezer to choose from for tea tonight I did buy a tiramisu (surprisingly only 1240 calories in the whole lot) but DH ate a quarter of it before he went out and I am going to save the half that is left until tomorrow...
