FjorGynAndHotWater · 27/03/2014 13:32

12 5 this morning so back to weight two weeks ago with a fast day to hopefully get a couple off before everything is undone at the weekend Grin

Rough day + day off tomorrow = massive temptation to drink booze. Have resisted though [proud] just off to have a decaf cuppa and reasonably early night instead Shock

12 3.75 so I'll say 12 4 as it's less messy! Shows last week's weigh was an aberration thank flip, and slowly crawling back towards my pre - half term weight. Or not depending on how weekend and birthday go... Grin

Hope you weren't too undone by your night out bingo Grin

Loti how are things going for you and dh? Hope you're ok matey xxx

1/2 stone - that's not too bad!!

FjorGynAndHotWater · 31/03/2014 20:08

lol bingo you will have to try harder next time Grin

In a depressing reminder of my inability to lose any weight, I just noticed that I am the exact same weight I was at the very start of this thread at the beginning of October

Luckoftheirish · 01/04/2014 06:50

Sounds like you ladies had a fab weekend GrinGrinGrinGrin

I am sure there will be several pounds gone this am Smile

Trying to eat more protein and I hope it will do the trick. Saw my bil at the weekend and he informed me that my face was a lot fuller Hmm that is a definite incentive to get my butt in gear

Did pop an exercise DVD in over the weekend, its still in there and has yet to be played BlushBlushBlush

Luckoftheirish · 02/04/2014 06:56

I am guessing you two are in hiding SmileSmileSmile

A pound down hurrah Smile only need to lose three or four but think it will take some time

Was on call til 10pm last night and then dd2 was up in the night feeling poorly so lots of Brew for me today

Just about managing to walk the school runs tho with a phone in each hand!

Hope you are both ok xx

BingoWingsBeGone · 02/04/2014 09:32

Hi LOTI Smile. Do you think BIL was saying it as a compliment? I think an extra few pounds or you would be fine - I know it is not how you are used to seeing yourself. When I got down to under 10 people mentioned my face was quite drawn and better when I was a few pounds heavier.
Extra protein sounds good instead of sugar!

12.12 this morning. Circuits plus haircut plus wax will hopefully help Grin

FjorGynAndHotWater · 02/04/2014 22:41

12 12 Bingo Shock you're fatter than me Grin

Was down to 12 6 this morning but had a few sandwiches this afternoon on top of normal food so prob up a bit in the morning and not weighing again till Monday due to birthday Cake Grin

Glad to hear you're keeping it together Loti Smile

BingoWingsBeGone · 03/04/2014 08:09

Ha ha Fjorn. Lost the extra 2 stone but still at 10.12. This is the heaviest I think I have entered a holiday period

Enjoy your birthday Fjorn SmileCakeWine

Luckoftheirish · 05/04/2014 15:46

Hope you had a lovely birthday fjorny Smile

Thankfully my dds have one more week before Easter break! I am only off Good Friday and Easter Monday so trying to juggle work with kids will be fun not!!

Walked 6 1/2 miles today Smile and plowing forward with my healthy eating. Hoping to re join a gym so def have my mojo back Smile

Luckoftheirish · 07/04/2014 07:00

Morning Smile

6 miles walked yesterday and have done 30 mins of cardio today

Been eating really healthily so hoping I have my mojo back Smile

Enjoy your hols ladies I will keep the flag flying til you are back Smile

Luckoftheirish · 08/04/2014 08:08

Did killer buns and tums level one this am oh my god BlushBlushBlush

FjorGynAndHotWater · 08/04/2014 20:38

Well done Loti! I am still avoiding exercise, although a colleague got stuck in the lift at work yesterday for two hours Shock so I'll be taking the stairs from now on...

Was 12 11 this morning after a boozy Sunday and carb-filled Monday but been good today so should be down a bit. Off away with work tomorrow though so Friday's weigh won't be great, and then on leave for two weeks so monday 28th will be a scary weigh! Seriously though, am hoping to rein it in a bit and not pile even more on. We'll see.

Luckoftheirish · 10/04/2014 13:47

Hope you are keeping on the straight and narrow.

Been doing my workout every morning thought I would die yesterday but today a little less achy Smile

Luckoftheirish · 15/04/2014 06:55

Looks like I am running this thread solo GrinGrinGrin

Continuing with the exercise every am mon-fri and just walking at the weekends. Missing the walk to school and back tho!

Looking forward to fri as my first day off this yr so all bets are off come the weekend!

Hope you are both enjoying your hols Smile

BingoWingsBeGone · 16/04/2014 18:35

Hellloooo LOTI

Well done for continuing on. I fell off the wagon hard and am 11.2 with the wobbliness tummy ever (moves on its own Hmm ) and thighs of thunderous proportions

Salad for lunch and tea today and will really try to up the activity levels which are non existant. I feel so, so yucky I hope this is the push to clear at least 1/2 stone.

Luckoftheirish · 16/04/2014 21:04

HelloSmileSmileSmile

You will be back to fitness v soon bingo and a good start with the salad Smile

I was up at the crack of dawn and did my 40 mins toning. Hell of a day at work ( whilst working from home) and a pal suggested a walk so we did a good 50 mins putting the world to right Smile

Cheeky glass of Wine now tho oops!

Am finding the less carbs I eat the happier me and my tum are so maybe there is something in low carbing?

Are u back at work now?

BingoWingsBeGone · 17/04/2014 10:18

Yes, back at work LOTI so much easier. Down to 10.13.5 which is still bad but better to be back under the 11. Mustn't lose focus though!

FjorGynAndHotWater · 18/04/2014 09:52

Only two posts so far in april, no wonder I am waddling around like a beached whale BlushBlushBlush

It's all gone a bit wrong and my resolve, ability to fast and sober days have all gone out of the window. Still another week to go of the holidays too Shock.

12 10.5 this morning which is pretty grim and although I can normally lose 6 over a week from being good I have a feeling this is more permanent gain. Went shopping with DD yesterday and I could have cried at the state of my tummy poking out of all the dresses. So then we went for coffee and cake... Blush At least we are going for a walk today!

Loti well done for keeping going without us, enjoy your day off today!

Sazz good to hear you are back in the swing. We still have some of your crisps left but maybe not for much longer Grin

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 21/04/2014 09:50

Pushing 13 stone this morning and feeling disgusting so re-healthing starts here...

OP posts:
Luckoftheirish · 22/04/2014 07:03

Hmm Fjorny.... Lots and lots and lots of water I am sure you will see a quick decent loss in the next few days.

I am the same Hmm back on it today tho done 45 mins of exercise this am.

Working whilst looking after the dds today which is truly horrific as they have forgotten how to play nicely Hmm
