Am down 1.5lb on the start of the last thread eight months ago Xmas Hmm. I have proved beyond a doubt that I can do maintenance Xmas Grin. If I can just keep shredding over Christmas and rein in the scoffage a little bit I may start next year in a slightly better position than last year when I put on half a stone in two weeks...

Well done Fjor. If it's any help I find you quite inspirational - sticktoitivity is something that I've always lacked Xmas Blush

We are going away for the weekend (FIL's 60th) and have just discovered the hotel we're staying in has a pool and steam room :) So swimming is definitely on the cards! Esp since we'll be stuck in hotel room with the kids on Saturday evening, so might as well take it in turns to sneak down to the pool Xmas Grin

FjorGyngleBells · 15/12/2011 09:35

Thank you star Xmas Blush

Your Saturday night sounds fab! Enjoy splashing around Xmas Smile

I too will be in the pool on Saturday but at a pool party for one of DD's friends. In my tankini in front of the other school mothers Xmas ShockXmas Blush[fshould have shredded more...]

CrispLeCrisp · 15/12/2011 10:36

Woo woo for losses. I have had a terrible week food/drink wise Blush

DingDongMerlionOnHigh · 15/12/2011 11:24

Well done Hots and Pudding! I had similar today at a friends re the comment on looking slimmer does make you feel good doesn't it?!

aStarOverMangerways · 15/12/2011 16:13

lovely to have spontaneous encouragement like that pud and Merlion :)

well done on pilates Crisp. no structured exercise as such here, but hours of schlepping around town with the buggy, including 30mins of playing chase with ds in the park that certainly raised my heart rate.

luckoftheirish · 15/12/2011 21:07

I'm here Xmas Smile

Colonic was great not at all cringy and feel so much better Xmas Smile.. will see if it has made a difference tomorrow Xmas Hmm..not holding out much hope even after exercising for 10 days in a row ShockShock

CrispLeCrisp · 16/12/2011 07:56

Evens today which is a miracle. In a few weeks remind me of this as I pe on 5lbs in a week......

luckoftheirish · 16/12/2011 09:00

Evens here too Hmm with all this exercise and a good clear out Blush was hoping for moreHmm however I was +2 for most of the week ConfusedHmm

luckoftheirish · 16/12/2011 12:22

30 mins p/t fit for nought elseBlush

CrispLeCrisp · 16/12/2011 15:04

Lol loti Grin

2.5 mile walk, 1 hr PT session. Pt session much much easier than my normal circuits as focused on strength not interval training. I expect I shall ache more tomorrow though......

luckoftheirish · 16/12/2011 15:07

Crisp will trade your Pt for mine... She is hard core and never lets us give up for the whole session!!!Hmm

CrispLeCrisp · 17/12/2011 09:53

Loti, this was a free session so he was focussing on letting me try different things rather than a hardcore programme and no real cardio as he knows I can do that blindfold! Used the TRX machine which was fun and free weights stuff. I may book some for the new year if I get paid

FjorGyngleBells · 18/12/2011 19:38

well my exercising boot camp has gone tits up Xmas Blush Too busy having fun on Thursday, too hungover on Friday, too tired on Saturday and full of cold today. Oops!

PMSL. Fabulous Dahling Grin

And this is why you are a Hotmama rather than an effortless slim Jim. I know which i'd rather be Xmas Smile

CrispLeCrisp · 18/12/2011 19:45

No exercise here either and lunch was 3 sausage rolls Blush. I think i will try and shred tomorrow afternoon with the girls and then have creche booked for Tues and Weds, so still hopeful for achieving 4* Exersazz. The week after may be more of a challenge Hmm

luckoftheirish · 18/12/2011 20:07

Me too Xmas Blush... Got an hour free child care at the gym mon/tues/wed and then that's it..

However already glugging Wine so no hope Grin

luckoftheirish · 19/12/2011 16:12

1.5km on cross trainer followed by 30 mins p/t session Smile

YougreatChristmaspudding · 20/12/2011 10:20

I'm off for a 3 mile walk to drop DH his computer - girls in the buggy and plenty of hills!

Had a weigh in with the practice nurse this morning - they need to monitor weightloss with thyroid meds - and I am 15kg down in 9 weeks which is about 33lb which made me :)

luckoftheirish · 20/12/2011 11:28
