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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Day 2 shred complete either I have never been doing it properly or have become that unfit as it's so hard and feeling very hurty

School run (walk) completed to and logging on mfp... It's only day 2

Feeling the unfit vibe here too Loti, I went out and hoovered up leaves in the garden for a couple of hours yesterday and my arm is really stiff today

Doing OK with food though and not snacking so far, which is one of my downfalls... fasted today so eating tomorrow which is always tricky with all the goodies at work plus my zero willpower!

Lol fjorny I cannot move my arms today

Day 3 of shred done, school run done. Made dd1 walk back to school last night to pick up dd2 and we shall be repeating that tonight so hopefully 6 miles walked by the end of the day.

Food going ok not brilliant but trying to stick to the three as best I can

Where are you sazz???!!!

Hello Ladies. About as much mojo going on here, but rather than dusting off the shred I have resorted to buying 2 pairs of jeans in a larger size .

I was 11.4 this morning so not too much different but more wobbly as no proper exercise. Couldn't gym this morning as 1st day of AF and it wouldn't have felt comfortable. Have however been doing school walks and have walked 15k+ steps yesterday and today. If I could return to 10 mins sit ups etc and ok food then I might manage maintenance.

Haven't tried on Xmas party dress yet....... fuuuuuuk

well done all of you on having better weight loss plans than me

Eh up Sazz! You are still about 17lb lighter than me so not so bad. I tried one of my party dresses on last week and although I could do it up I couldn't really breathe !

Loti yay for your exercise my arm still aching but not so bad and have got no further than making sure I'm doing my 10k steps each day and have done since Sunday, it's not much but it's a start!

Still no snacking and was down to 12 7 this morning so heading in the right direction. Fasting tomorrow but hungry already!

Lol Fjorny

11.2 this morning and 10 mins exercise. Supposed to have a dept lunch today but might try and swerve.......

Have tight trousers on today to try and keep focus

So, swerved dept lunch and had salad and managed 10k steps on a workday. Go me

Larger jeans fit on the thunder thighs but fall off the waist. . Not a great solution to the putting on weight issue......

Hi everyone. I'm still here wobbling on the rails, but not quite fallen off. I can't beleive I only did one week of being on the wagon.

I just need to get my shit together, i only want to lose 7lb, its not exactly massive numbers that are daunting. I just can't get my head sorted and in the right place. I start with good intentions and don't eat too badly, but not exactly at weightloss levels. I'm an excellent maintainer

Oh, well, I'll have another try tomorrow!

You all sound motivated, even if by squeezing into tight clothes for motivation!

lol, i have the same 1/2lb Velma

Tight clothes did their job today......

or even 1/2 stone. 1/2lb and I wouldn't need to be here!!

Ooops shred fell by the wayside

In my defence dh has to have his op for his leg Tuesday so was feeling a bit !

Just going to try and keep on the straight and narrow and thinking the stress may be enough!

Sazz scales are going in the right direction

Hoping your fasting has been worthwhile fjorny

Ps Velma every day is a new day to start again on this thread

10 mins exercises done

Scales down to 11.0 . Don't trust the fuckers at all . I have been ok, but only really ok. Mind you the lack of proper exercise is probably meaning heavy muscles are turning to fat....

Boo for DH LOTI

Sazz that's 4lbs in two days

School run done and just walked another mile and a half.

School run later too not brilliant but at least fresh air

LOTI - I was 11.7 on Tues . If only it were true weight loss..... I'll have to go to the gym, even if it is just to get an accurate position of the state of me!!

Fitbit ran out of battery but reckon I have probably been active enough for 10k steps just today.

Socialising all weekend and the pretty much full on through to Xmas. Will try to be mindful of not shovelling crap and do my 10 mins exercises.

Still doing ok, managing my 10k steps and no snacking. Did have crisps last night but just one small packet instead of cars with my tea. Still up bloody 2 this morning though.... and so tired as been awake since 5, will have to avoid carbs today!

Oh, was 12 6 yesterday, so six to lose in twelve days

Jinxed that then, only managed 5k steps yesterday, but was on feet all day tidying etc, just not travelling far! Pretty good food wise considering it was Saturday, bit of chocolate but no crisps still up bloody 3 this morning though...

I've had a good day today eating wise. Hopefully I can make it through to bedtime without succumbing to the oat biscuit bars or the bit of fruit and nut that is in the kitchen.

I think I'm at the real turning point because I put on a pair of comfy work trousers this morning and they don't feel comfy, but verging on snug. I will not go up a size and I don't like tight clothes.

I've asked DH for an activity tracker for Christmas so I can see how lazy I am!

I hope everyone else is motivated and on target to get a few pounds off for Christmas.

Welcome to my tight clothes would Velma . Not doing great here but not terrible although have failed on my 10mins exercise as dd2 keeps coming for a cuddle about 6.15 and I can't bear to chuck her out or get up and leave her there
Will try and do gym tomorrow although should be wrapping presents as need to be all done by Sun. Exercise will probably win over that tbh

11.3 (10.12) here this morning

4k run, 1 hour circuits . I was still recognised at the gym so didn't feel too much of an interloper

Haven't tried my Xmas party dress on yet. I really really must build up the courage to do it otherwise there could be mass panic next Sat.....

Yay, party dress fits. Rather obvious cleavage though

11.2. Slooooooowly back in the right direction.

Out for dinner tonight though....................

Well done sazz I have been near a scales in a while

Hello! Kids have finished swimming til the new year so I can report back when they are back at swimming.

New job OK-ish

Everyone else sounds like they are doing OK

Lol Dr G, your life sounds as exciting as mine ATM

Pizza last night but back on the straight and narrow today and swerved all manner of nasties at the school Xmas fayre

10k steps done mostly every day this week.

How are you Fjorny & Velma?
