HotMamas - Are we Hot? Yes we are!

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

17th thread lucky for successful and sustained weight loss????? Let's hope so!!!

Still +1 which is a miracle hoping for evens by Friday (with a lot of luck)

+1.5

2.5 mile walk in the sunshine

Hey you two, glad you are keeping the flame alight while I have been in hiding again

Boo.

Do I sound closer?

You need to tell me not to eat crisps and chocolate with the kids after school ...

And DS is going to school, breakfast club and after school club and I start work on Monday. DD is going to a little nursery at someone's house. It is nice, but very quiet and doesn't do the early years stuff so may need to find something else at some point. Much much nicer than her foreign one.

PS the attitudes to healthy food for children are much, much stronger here in the UK. Am feeling quite culture shocked by the village in rural Cambridgeshire where we have ended up.

Helllooooooooo DrG and welcome home

Yay, welcome back DrG. Hope you are settling in ok and the DC like the new arrangements. Has DH got a job/citizenship ok?

I am an EVIIIIIIIL parent as i won't let my DC have crisps or chocolate/cakes in their lunchbox. EEEEEVERYONE else has them. Apparently.

No weigh in tomorrow as i have been ambushed by beer & crisps. Oops

Sizz have you been eating the crisps that the dds want in their lunch boxes ??

Still 0.75 up on last week but tbh I haven't been trying v hard

Welcome back to the uk Dr G

How are u doing fjorny?

I am up 0.25 so not too bad. Got my period today though, so the carb cravings that usually brings combined with Friday night gin could be a dangerous combination...

loti don't sweat it, anything less than +1 is as good as evens

sazz you are evil Mine have cake every day, and on Friday they get jam sandwiches . I think DS does need weaning off his sweet things habit a little bit though, he has been known to demand pudding pudding if the first lot of afters does not meet his exacting standards

I am -1.25 down please may it continue!!!

Have you ladies abandoned ship??

I have not weighted since sat, must do in am. Have spent the last two days cleaning and am scheduled for two more! Hoping that will burns some cals

0.5 down please may this keep up til fri alot can be said for housework

Good work loti keep dusting

I am back to +1 on Friday after being +5 on Monday i didn't think I was being that bad but it has spurred me on to be super-good this week so hopefully that will pay off by Friday. Had to come to work on the train today and left late so had to run to the station. Totally puffed out

Errrrrr. Not so good here

Wobbly tummy so avoiding scales

Well done on the loss LOTI and the shrinking this week Fjorn. I am hoping to be much better next week once DD2 is in school five days and i have stopped chasing my tail quite so much! It may not happen, but i live in hope......

Down another 1.25 so hopefully will have a small loss to report tomorrow. Office is full of cake though if I can resist that I can resist anything

Sazz sorry to hear you still haven't found your mojo but hopefully it will come back once DD2 is at school full time. (Crazy settling in btw, by Friday DS will have done 3 weeks 3 days full time! Maybe you have avoided the tantrums though...) I have stop-started low carbing for a few weeks with, obviously, no weight loss, but seem to have an epiphany re scoffage = being fat and am managing to rein it in. Still got 16lb to lose to get to my previous low then at least another 9 but preferrably 16 more after that. Eek.

Well done fjorny

Sizz as soon as dd2 is at school full time you will get back in the groove

Another 0.5 down however out for tea tonight so all bets may be off

Up 0.25 but down 2lb over all

Woo Hoo loti that's brill, well done

I too am down 1.5lb on the week and now 12 9 still a long way to go but not quite as far as before!

Have been reading the low carb bootcamp thread which always gives me a bit of a willpower boost and a couple of people mentioned kale crisps so am gonna try them for snacking tonight. Thinking of how much I would be down without Monday's +5 will hopefully be a good incentive to steer clear of carbs...

Lol fjorny I read that thread all the time

Well done on your loss

No weigh in today. Too porky.

well done on your losses ladies

Sts and af appeared this am so hoping a good week ahead

Good luck for this week ladies

+5 again [oops]

You have had a poorly ds tho, so a stressful weekend!

Where are u sizz?

1/2lb down struggling this week

1/2 is good loti, all in the right direction!

I am sadly still +2.5 on Friday so only down 2.5 since the aclcohol-fuelled water retention of Monday morning have been really pretty good too but not looking like I'll be down by Friday.
