HotMamas - Five years on, are we fit or are we fat???

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Stupid phone, grrr. Lovely to see you loti ! Are you doing ok trying to eat more ?

I have miraculously avoided all treat stuff at work today and going to hold out till8.30 for my tea. Can i have a good weekend...?

A quick whizz by to say another pound down this morning. 11.12. Another boring gym session tomorrow so looking to start next week at 11.11... 2 weeks to go to holiday now, aiming for 3 pounds a week which would be 11.5 and 12 pounds since 1st Jan. I CAN DO THIS!

11.11 today! ....and aching all over, the class was brutal! 11.10 hopefully on Tuesday, I've got an aerobics class to go to tomorrow night but I am not very co-ordinated. Might go for a walk in the woods later but depends on what the other half is up to, I think there might be football on TV which would be perfect as I can get out and walk for an hour and relax in the pretty woods near where I live.

That's brilliant 4 weeks, well done. I'm with you in te uncoordinated aerobics bit. Tuis why I steer clear of Zumba like the plague...

Away for the weekend so back to 10.12.5. I think that's 9.25 lower than last Monday so I'll take it as a very very very minor achievement!

0.25. 9 would MAJOR......

Back up 5.5 to 12 8 I really wasn't that bad! Hoping it's water again, it had bloody better be, so drinking loads and hoping to flush it all out today...

Up 1.25???? Really was pretty good yesterday so not sure what happened.

Hoping to run or shred today

Dodgy scales SP

I Luffs you LOTI

Lol loti you crawler

Hope you got some exercise in bingo to undo your

I was back down 3 to 12 5 so only 2.5 away from Friday's weight. Been fasting proerly today and hoping to have a couple more off. No exercise though, bloody back was 99% better so spent yesterday moving my bedroom furniture around and bloody spasm'd it again so am groaning and waddling like an old woman...

Lol I am good crawler double school run walk and an impromptu early evening walk with pal. Deliberately left my phone at home but then it caught up with me when I got back

All your walking sounds great loti, was a lovely day for it yesterday. What's your aim these days, just to be toned? Hope your eating is getting a bit better/easier?

It's amazing what not eating any biscuits can do, got the 2.5 off so back to Friday's weight . Two days left to actually lose some...

Bingo hope your scales being kinder this morning!

10.11 this morning so still 1 up on Friday. Made a vat of cabbage soup yesterday so will use that to fill up on.

No exercise yesterday as tax return called but circuits today so maybe that will get me bsck into the exercise groove.....

Well done Fjorn, I'm glad proper fasting is working for you.

1k run, 1hr circuits, 5 mins powerplate

Well done you two

Fjorny it's more for fresh air/brain relief from work but would like to tone

+0.5 . I have not strayed food wise at all this week so a bit pissed off if I'm honest.

However pub tonight and out for dinner tomorrow night so no more busting a gut this week...

Sazz you are working so hard, hoping next week all your hard work will pay off.

I know that me and the scales are not friends and should be left well alone but I agree with the frustration thing. I am useless when it comes to eating lots of different foods and tend to eat the same things/similar amounts every day. You would think therefore that my weight should remain static! However it jiggles about up and down like a yo yo with no rhyme or reason!

Guess I am trying to say, good to take a break, enjoy your night and you never no!

Evens today after beer an chip fest, so +1.5 for the week. Oops.

Taking your advice again LOTi for another lunch and dinner out today

Oops sazzes but

oh god i hate my phone...

Sazz we all know the perils of weighing post-pub, sod it and stuff your face today

I managed a -1 on the week to 12 1.5. Just a pound to go of the Christmas lard, might actually get it all off before the end of January for once!

Loti hope you have a lovely school run walk in the crispy sunshine before it starts raining...

I am hoping the lack of action on here since Friday morning means you've all been as bad as me... started on leftover buffet by 10am then beer and burgers, fish and chips, cake, Sunday night wine and cheese, and ended the weekend +7. I really don't know what is wrong with me that once I start i just don't stop it can't be good for me to swing so wildly up and down but don't know what to do about it!!!

Equally bad weekend here. Fjorny you are so good with your fasting but would it be better to allow yourself a small treat a day so that when you get to the weekend it's the norm not a treat?

No real idea whether that would work but just throwing it out there!

I know the feeling Fjorny - I was back up to 11 stone today after a terrible weekend starting on Friday morning. Today was very good until I got home from work and then I ate a packet of peanut M&M's. What was THAT about???

It's getting back into the exercise regime I need but I'm not quite making it at the moment.

Never mind, we WILL get back into the groove soon I'm sure, so I'm not beating myself up just yet

Glad to hear I'm not alone but at all of us

Loti nice idea re the treat a day but that's where my trouble seems to begin as am fine abstaining but once I start I can't stop

Sazz hope you can get in a routine with your exercise as I know you enjoy it you weirdo and you do seem to get better results. I actually got some hand weights on monday so aiming to lose the wings by age 45. 9 weeks to go...

Monday ended up as bad as the weekend, started off by eating some aldi christmas chocs that had been reduced to 9p. It's not even very nice chocolate... But fasted yest and down 3 to 12 5.5. Can I lose 5 more in 2 days??? Not likely but should get maybe 2 or 3 more back off hopefully. Then my plan is 2 weekends of being much more restrained and lose as much as poss before half term. Am feeling really fat round my middle, would love to be not overweight by my birthday but the rate I am going I'll never get there

Out for a curry last night with work but driving so not too bad

10.12.5 this morning

On treadmill now

Am having hair cut later and will wax legs etc to try and focus the mind on appearance an hope this will help getting back into toning the body mindset

If I go to the gym at the weekend this is normally enough to stop it getting out of control so will really try hard to achieve that this weekend.
