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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Not to self read before posting! One lb back on today

Sorry Loti, had no signal at work all day and vowed not to mn on work computer or will end up getting sacked...

12 9 this morning which is bad considering I was 12 0 on 18 July but all things considered I am quite happy with that! One more weekend of eating then back on the wheat free way for the whole of September I think. Still haven't decided about the booze-free September, will depend on what sort of day I have at work next Friday

Sorry to hear you have a bad tooth hope it doesn't give you too much gyp before they take it out x

Right ladies it's the 1st sept so we are on it!!!

99% likely this tooth is coming out this afternoon which means that hopefully I will be off my food for the evening (live in hope!). It's the snacking on rubbish that has been my downfall

So my plan is healthy eating and 3 x exersazz a week!

Will be lean mean fighting machines by Xmas!

Who is with me????

Ok so not a good start to September!!!

Tooth came out yesterday now in pain and chomping pain killers and antibiotics like they are going out of fashion, massive tummy bloat but hoping its all the chemicals inside of me????!!!

Deciding to go back to basics with the good old calorie counting and 1200 a day.

Am not weighing in til Friday!

Where are you?????

Back on the school run yesterday so my 4 miles walked dry socket in mouth so still necking every pain killer I can get my hands on. Plus side not eating much negative side painkillers and antibiotics wreck my system

Please come back

Sorry Loti, am back on it just not much time for posting. One fast day done this week and another one tomorrow, plus no wheat yet so no snacking still v lardy though... Have persuaded DH to not drink on Friday night so that'll be a few calories saved

Ow ow ow re your dry socket hope the antibiotics kick in soon x

10 000 steps seems to have fallen by the way side so need to start doing some form of exercise too, just don't know what to do!

Hurrah you are back fjorny

Well done on the fast day and good luck with it today

I am managing the school run walks and that is it for exercise. May have to get to the gym at night time which I hate but may have to be done!

Dry socket is very slowly getting better hurrah. Having soup and toast which is not great diet wise but will see tomorrow!

Right 12 6 at my parents this weekend. Am on the case. Which included walking to the co op this evening to buy chocolate dessert.

Sigh

In other news I just had a paper rejected with a comment "this is of limited interest either methodologically or more generally" Sigh.

Oh, but it was DDs first day at school today. She looked lovely. I was so proud.

Off to read science fiction in bed now.

Welcome back dr G

Well weigh in good news that no gain bad news no lose so even Stevens here

However got up early and walked two miles and have school runs this am and this afo. Mouth finally starting to feel a bit better so will decide a healthily menu for next week and get on to it. 8 weeks til half term and want to be a minimum 7lbs lighter. I have put on so much weight that the few clothes I own are uncomfortably tight

Hey Dr G! Hope DO enjoyed school

Loti glad you are feeling better, and well done on the walking!

Down 2 to 12 7 so a bit of progress made. Not drinking tonight so will see what difference just one boozy night makes to next week's scales...

Long moderately stressful day at work = all talk of sobriety going out of the window , delicious wine, steak and yummy mashed potato but only up 0.5 this morning

Morning

I forced myself out of bed this morning to do the shred god it was so tough but at least it's done now got lots of healthy food to eat this week and am feel v determined ... We will see

Hope your weekend was good fjorny? Where are you sazz???!!!

Have you seen this? jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1900510 Any diet will do, you just have to stick to it.

Sigh.

On the plus side although very impressed by shredding, I will walk the kids to school today which is more exercise than some days.

Morning Dr G don't u know school run walking burns so many calories trying to tag team both children to get to school on time?

Shred done again this morning everything hurts so I am taking that as a good sign healthy eating day one completed and found out I like the weight watchers Greek coconut yogurt now I am a complete hater of yogurt so this is a major breakthrough as breakfast always seems to end up being toast which is not the greatest start to the day!

Onwards and downwards ladies

Sorry for absence. Still Lardy cakes over here

However I have purchased a fitbit - good start eh? And agreed to go running with a friend every Tuesday

5 miles walked today and food had been marginally better of late.still no official weigh as scales fucked which is a shame NOT!

Well done on losses ladies and the shred LOTI. Once my leg improves I shall have to join you.

Oh, and Rachel's organic is the best coconut yoghurt I luffs it

Hurrah sazz you are back tho about dodgy knee still. Are you going to buy new scales or live in ignorant bliss? I would do the latter

Day three of shred I never remember it hurting this much before I must be one very unfit lady!

Out tonight so I will try and be good but as it's my first evening out in a month I may have to partake in

and a shred rest day tomorrow sound in order LOTI.

So, I have braved the scales and ............ ........ 11st exactly. And that is after having breakfast etc. I was expecting about 11.4 so I've got to be happy with that even if I am not happy with the wobbles.

So I reckon my last weigh ins were c.10.8 so have put on 1/2 stone. I KNOW I can lose this (and more) so I just need to put my head down and JFDI!!!!

You probably realised that twas me earlier!

4k run on treadmill, 10k bike and walked 5 miles. Get me

Woo hoo sazz is back well done lady

I did have one last night but had a lovely super food salad and walked to the pub and back

I managed to get up and do my shred too.

I am thinking the shred mon-fri with the school runs and maybe try and fit the gym in one day at the weekend. I think if I tried to do shred 7 days a week I would get bored v quickly and I am so shattered by fri night I know I won't happen!

Hope you are lurking fjorny

Hardly a prolonged effort to cheer about just yet LOTI but hopefully I'll get there!

I think you deffo need a rest day or even two but shred and school runs sound good.

Trying really hard on food as work clothes rather snug. Oops!

2k walk at lunchtime. Not going to transform me into the green goddess but better than nowt :D

Managed 5 miles of walking yesterday

Shred done down 2.25lb so not bad but if I can just maintain at the weekend will be super chuffed

Super tired today full day at work and a house to clean from top to bottom

Good to see you back too sazz and well done for not larding up too much!

Loti hurrah for being down!

Annoyingly I am back up 1 to 12 8. Bollocks.

Oops there is and Pringles on the go

Morning ladies

I need a lot of this this am worst night sleep ever throat has been a bit tickle and dd2 has started her winter cold that last from now til about may so maybe that's why sleep evaded me!

Anyway shredded again was lovely to have two days off

I have regained the weight I lost last week but hoping it comes off quickly and try and aim for more
