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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Is 1554 what your body needs to get through the day or what your diet level should be? Hope it's the latter

I'm down but only to 12 9 so quite disappointed but won't let it scupper me this weekend...

10.12.5 (or 10.9.5 depending where the scales are ). Feels more like the former tbh.

150 crunches/cycle sits, 50 bum raises, 25 press ups, 50 chest flies and 1 min 10 plank.

Arms are definitely looking better

Well done on the 10k steps Fjorn and getting back into the 5:2. Remember 7 weeks till holiday time....keep focus. Have a as inspiration

Keep us posted on the mot LOTI - hope it was useful.

Off to work and determined at the mo to keep my resolve. I expect the catered lunch will be sandwiches etc so it really is up to me how much I trough

Carb free lunch woo hoo. Was fish and chicken and salad so feeling pretty good. However it's been a LOOONG day so really want a

I have also been pretty much carb free as trying to up the protein however I do have in my hand so

I have a beer because that is clearly better than .

Had 2 beers last night so not too bad.

Exercises done this morning and weight between 10.9 and 11.0. Wtf?? Time for new scales possibly!!

You definitely need new scales sazz, that is beyond strange

Well done on your exercises have done mine too was contemplating going on the treadmill but haven't made it there yet!

2 hard boiled eggs so far trying to keep up the higher protein lower carb we shall see how I fare

Exercise done tho suppose to be a rest day need to keep momentum going! I seriously need to do some cardio all my jeans are feeling uncomfortably tight!

Continued with the low carb eating yesterday but did have so guess that discounted all my good food

Oh to the joy of food shopping to try and find some more inspiring foods, boiled eggs are already a tad boring

A mile walk and 15 mins of running around the garden/jumping jacks and skipping. OMG I am super unfit

12.4 again this week. OK. Not exactly going down, but did eat quite a lot of rubbish.

48hrs to write off here

The pain au raisin for breakfast was the super delicious highlight.

LOTI sounds like you have had a good one . Did the mot people give you menu plans etc?

Hi DrG - maintaining is better than gaining

Up early and exercises done. No way was I going near the (dodgy) scales

Day 9 of the squats/abs challenge done 4 miles in the sunshine and a bit of skipping

Low carbing still too will wait til end if the week to decide whether or not it's helping with the tiredness

Exercises done. 10.11-11.2

Exercises done here too and double walking school run

Sazz you need new scales

Oh but LOTI, the range is consistent

Timed my exercises this morning and they were 15 minutes which is not too bad for every day bar Sunday I reckon. Definitely feeling less wobbly so will try to keep at it.

Nice walking there LOTI. I'm trying to stay off my leg as it does ache when I walk a lot. Hoping to do cycle and swim tomorrow but have to go in to work in the afternoon and haven't prepared for it yet

Sazz your scales are getting worse!

Loti you shame me with your dedication!

DrG not putting any backon is a massive start,onwards and downwards for you!

Weekend pretty good, which you might not have thought due to my awol-ness but just can't get DD off the computer... did drink loads of gin but no wine and no wheat despite a trip to local stately home with friends and kids which included a bag full of cakey treats

Up 3 but hoping to have weed most of that out today. Been fasting, slightly undone by wasabi almonds from Lidl, but they are low carb so hoping that'll be OK

Not worse Fjorny - still a 5lb range

Hope the fast has paid off Fjorn

Exercises done and weight 10.10-11.0 but much more frequently at 11.0 this time which is a pisser as I had secretly been hoping the lower one was more accurate. Will try and weigh at the gym today but will be after breakfast so not really comparable.

Decided to go to gym for a swim, get haircut and home for an hour or so to finish prep for work. Failsafe plan eh?

It must have been the change between stones that was confusing me bugger that it seem to be the higher one but even that is going down... have a good swim

I'm down 4 so -1 on the week already! Would like another 2 off to undo half term, and then start on Easter's gain lol

Plan sounds good sazz and I would weigh at gym just to see which was is swinging more accurately but u do need new scales!!!!!

Done my exercise this am (15 too sazz)

Tummy still very bloated but maybe a tad less I hope! Still very much on the low carb, two more days and then will review

Well done fjorny on the not eating cakey treats

10.8 at gym. Woo hoo

Good job I didn't stuff my face with fresh bread and marmalade after being pissed off this morning.

1 mile swim and haircut (so a few more oz off there )

I might try and only weigh weekly at the gym now rather than replace scales although unlikely

Well done on your great loss Fjorn. LOL about starting on Easter though. I'll check back later to see where I was at then (albeit prob already on dodgy scales)

Exercises done.

10.9 on dodgy scales at fist reading so didn't try again

Exercises done here too sazz up to 120 squats now I shall have legs of steel

Tummy v v v slightly less bloated today didn't have any eggs yesterday so wondering if they are causing the issues?! My tummy looks 6 months pregnant which is not ideal when the sun is shinning and your skirts don't fit!!!
