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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Lol fjorny well done you

I am in desperate need of some proper healthy snacks/food I am just eating such rubbish too much sugar/salt so have serious water retention

Any ideas gratefully received

Hope u are ok bingo

I'm ok thanks girls - no circuits today though as I am babysitting roofers stopping them trashing my house. My bingo wings are going to have to fly off themselves at this rate

Still coldy and zero motivation in this shocking weather. We went for a walk on Sunday and walked to school yesterday so not all bad

Hurrah for your better weekend and shedding poundage this week Fjorny. Keep it up and the results will come. How is your head BTW? Are you able to do any kind of exercise or does it still make you go all funny?

LOTI, how about mushrooms or tomatoes on wholemeal toast, jacket potatoes, or bean chilli. All pretty quick or reheatable (chilli) to grab when you are busy. I love mashed banana on toast but realise I am a tad weird

Not so weird, i used to love sandwiches made with cold buttered toast and sliced banana. Not mashed though as only like bananas on the verge of green-ness.

Evil boss brought pringles to work and got all the biscuits & cake out from where we'd hidden thembut managed to stick to yogurt and salad with no treats so feeling v chuffed with myself. Chilli for tea, yum, then another fast day tomorrow so hope i will get a bit more off...

Well done on the swerving of treats fjorny

Well I was a good girl yesterday and did not eat any rubbish do feel better today and actually woke up hungry (tho cannot face breakfast just yet )

I really need to do some exercise tho, I guess I was a lot more toned than I realised but have zero motivation!!!

Hope your roof is fixed now bingo?

Just had a bit of cheese and some fresh pineapple as well as my chilli, not bad at all but am up 0.75 to 12 3.25 this morning . Trying not to lose hope...

Sorry i missed your post yesterdy Loti! Glad you are managing healthier food, and hope you find time for some exercise. I think you're like Bingo and enjoy it once you're doing it so get busy!!!

Well adfter another fast day I am just back to 12 2. . Down 1 on last week but still uo 0.5 on two weeks ago. Whagt do I have to do???? don't say do some bloody exercise... Think I need to find some low cal hi fibre stuff as having major issues froma lack of carb fibre in my diet but don't think I can blame that for my paltry showing on the scales this morning. Bollocks. Oh well, the trick will be not to lose all my motivation and gorge on cake at work today...

Bingo have you resigned or just been blown away???

Hope the scales were kind to you ladies this am

Dd1 up half the night with sore throat, I seem to be working 12hrs a day with this job and dh is away til today, so my good intentions have gone out the window

I would love to see a nutritionist who could tell me what to eat and I would!

Happy Friday xxx

Hope DD feeling better now loti and you are not so tired you are mainlining pringles

My colleagues have persuaded me to eat an entire tube of sugar free polos in an attempt to cure my constipation so my belly is rumbling like a demented kettle about to boil. This could go either way...

Eek!! Hope they relieve your constipation and not the other way

There are no Pringles in my house now and am not buying anymore so trying to ease the temptation

I will however be having tonight it's been that sort of day

They certainly sorted me out!!! Then went on a massive carb binge in the hope it would regularise me. Result = +7.5 this morning but insides still tending to bung up. Think I might have to go to drs

So with only a few days to go till half term things aren't looking good for a slim me any time before December...

Hope you guys had a healthier weekend although the tumbleweed on here leads me to suspect otherwise!!!

I have been keeping away as no dieting going on here. No massive binges but enough for me to feel the 'padding out'

I have been feeling pretty bleugh and keep convincing myself of a major illness . I suspect (and hope!) in reality it is a minor cold, work stress and no exercise. I need to get the endorphins flowing but can't kick start the exercise. No time tomorrow but WILL get to circuits on weds and hope this helps.

Boo for constipation Fjorn but lol @ sugar free mint consumption

What can we do? Some realistic targets are needed I think, so I am going with 2 x exersazz this week. We have friends for the weekend but I might get some time on Sunday but will push myself to get them in before then.

No more sandwiches for lunch for me. Have had them the last 2 days but its a slippery slope for me.

Oh bingo hope its just juggling a million things at once and not getting enough down time. Hope you feel better soon.

Glad the polos worked fjorny if you go to docs they will prob prescribe laxido which you just mix with water. They do help.

I am suffering massively with tiredness I guess this is my first proper job in over 8 hrs and didn't have two dds then!

I also need to get back to proper exercise been fooling myself that the school runs walking are enough. Not even doing much of them at the mo between working/rubbish weather/laziness!

I am going to commit with you bingo for two exersazzels a week prob the shred. There I have said so it must be done

Yay LOTI. I am very tired too - getting old I think

So, braved scales. 11.2. Arse. Hopefully that is enough of a shock for me to start the reversal.

Posted this morning but phone doing odd things . Back to 11.

Still have a sore midriff (above tummy??) and tight chest so feeling a bit crappola. Focussing on trying to keep a positive mental attitude and keep to warming healthy comfort foods rather than 'diet' at the mo.

Been to gym and did 1hr circuits and 10 mins powerplate, followed by a relax in the sauna which was nice.

Veggie curry (no rice) for lunch

Well done bingo tho take it easy if you are not 100% maybe I need a trip to the docs?

Forced myself to do school run home yesterday 2 miles and again this am. Weather awful but may be clearing up so if so will walk down again tho have zero motivation

Trying hard not to snack but feel like I am on the go constantly hence grabbing what I can!!

How are u getting on this week fjorny?

Weather too bad so parked at supermarket so only 1 mike extra fine but that's 3 today so must count for something

Hey guys, good to see you back bingo but sorry you are feeling under the weather. Maybe a trip to the docs might be a good idea if you're still feeling off it by next week? Can you believe it's a year ago tomorrow since I went into hospital for the first time with palpitations?! And that turned out to be something and nothing so you probably need a vitamin shot or something

Evil loti forcing your girls out in this weather!!!! Hope the exercise was worth it I've been on the train all week so got a bit of exercise for once myself. Eating habits probably 6/10, not bad but not brilliant. Fasting tomorrow se we'll see what that does...

10.12 today. Am focussing on lots of water and wholesome food oops at the packet of quavers earlier

Midriff/chest feels better - I am wondering whether it has been caused by the mega machine the sports physio pummelled my back with last week . Lets hope so!

Positive attitude working ok and managing to compartmentalise some tricky situations at work - I'm sure they will all resolve fine; I am just probe to overt honking stuff sometimes.
Well don't on school wals LOTI - we had torrential sleet here so I declined the option of a walk!

Hope the fast is holding Fjorn

I know exactly what you mean work wise bingo I am pondering about things even now

School walk home today as drive them in the days I am working. Getting full on little amounts but have quit the diet coke/Pringles/peanut regime and trying to listen to proper hunger some maybe that's working ?!

Sorry for the lack of proper sympathy but lolololol at overt honking

PMSL. Overthinking FFS. Clearly not overthinking my read, check, function.......

10.11.5 so up 2 on 2 weeks ago.

Glad to be feeling better though so will focus on weight after the weekend

Hurrah that you are feeling better bingo and we'll done for not putting too much on while you were feeling poorly.

I managed -1 to 12 1 so not too bad. Cross with myself Iddidn't manage to get under 12, just gotta hope I don't undo it all during half term...

Well done on both being down ladies hope the weekend was not too damaging

Right officially fed up of feeling sluggish and flabby I used to have strong tummy muscles and legs and they have disappeared

Have done a few planks/sit ups and squats not many mind at this hour of the day but I am going to try and encourage the dds to do a DVD with me today! I need to do something!!!

Well not too bad just +6.5 to 12 7.5. This is bad but 2lb less bad than last Monday!

Sorry to hear you are feeling untoned Loti, hope you manage to get some exercise in. Have you been shredding?

Bingo hope you are not too fat after the weekend
