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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

[StrictlySazz]

Done ok today with food, although no exercise. Thought about shredding when I got home from work and then swiftly despatched that thought.
I WILL try harder tomorrow as feeling more wibbly wobbly already

[StrictlySazz]

Back to 10.11.75 so 1lb on for the week which I'm quite frankly amazed by - element of muscle weight loss I fear

Helga - I think it depends how important the loss is to you - when I lost 4 stone I had to do it ALL the time. As you can see now I am happy to go up and down a bit, hopefully with a small trend downwards.

[HelgatheHairy]

I weighed myself this morning and I'm down .5.

When I wasn't tracking my weight was staying pretty stable. It's only since I started tracking I've lost weight. It's the fact I'm breast feeding that stops me going all out. I found it easy the first week, but this week I've struggled a bit (salted caramel Hagen Dazs is LUSH) and I've still lost a bit.

[StrictlySazz]

No exercise but have stayed within 1200 cals today so hopefully have stopped any gains! Going to the gym and taking DC's swimming and will try and do similar at the weekend too now I have renewed their membership.

Well done on the loss Helga - slow and steady and you'll get there. I never lost any weight whilst breastfeeding as my body seemed to hang on to it and it was much easier once I stopped (c.12 months for both)

Fjorn - where ARE you??? Eating the leftover Halloween sweets?

[StrictlySazz]

Back to last Friday's official weigh in of 10.10.75. Would love to kick on and downwards again this week, but need to get my exercise mojo back.

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear

Well done on your evens week Sazz [impressed] No such commitment to weightloss luck here obv, up 5.5 on last FRiday. Oops! Did manage two days off booze and a fast day during half term so small progress! Should get it all off by next Friday....

[StrictlySazz]

Sorry to hound you

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

Lol Sazz I left myself wide open for abuse

[StrictlySazz]

7.5k walk/run with hills/sprints/arm weights and 5 min powerplate. Just about to take dd's for a swim.

Friend coming round later for so shall no doubt undo all the good work

[HelgatheHairy]

10.12.2 today. I've not really tracked cals the last few days. I'll get back to tracking Monday and just be mindful over the weekend.

BIG non scale victory though. I have a pair of cheap Penny's wellies. It's been months since I wore them and they were really tight. I was going to chop them down and turn them into ankle wellies. Was going walking the dog today so pulled them out to try and they slipped straight on!!! Now I was only wearing leggings so nothing thick but I was delighted!

[HelgatheHairy]

If I ever mention Penny's I mean Primark. It's called Penny's here in Ireland.

[StrictlySazz]

Helga, by my reckoning that's c.5.5lbs off in 3 weeks - well done

Excellent news re willies - it's the small things that keep you going I think.

Logged food and wine for today and still have a few in the bank for undoubted crisp munchies later

[HelgatheHairy]

strictly umm small willies aren't a problem!!

[StrictlySazz]

FFS

[StrictlySazz]

-2 this morn

[StrictlySazz]

...ing to 10.8.75???!!!

Don't believe it for one minute but it looked nice

[StrictlySazz]

..on the scales

Bioomin ham fisted phone typing. Gah.

[HelgatheHairy]

That's brilliant! Well done.

[StrictlySazz]

I'm not sure i believe it tbh. Last weekend included Chinese, fish and chips, alcohol, cake and crisps and little exercise.

Maybe I should move to Scotland

5k run, 10 mins powerplate, 1hr Pilates. Left me wiped out! Eaten now and hangover gone do feel better.

[StrictlySazz]

Found the lost 2lb

[StrictlySazz]

Up 1.5 on Friday to 10.12.25 which is really rather good given what I have eaten! Need to get back on it today but DC are off and I'm not working, so has the potential to go wrong.....

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

Good work Sazz, I'm sure you have the willpower to be good despite all the distraction.

Well guess what, another half term and another massive fuck up by me. You must be bored of reading about my inability to stop eating; I am certainly bored of typing it... Back up to 12 12.5 this morning so up 9 over half term

So, last chance saloon again, it's just over 7 weeks to Christmas and I would really like to be comfortably under 12 by then hollow laugh just 2 a week, I can do that right????

[HelgatheHairy]

Up 1 pound from Friday to 10.13.2. Happy with that as there was half a big bag of Doritos involved late last night.

The plan for this week is to try and stick to 1700 calories per day. There isn't actually too much food in the house to tempt me. Things went wrong last week as there was Hagen daz involved!

[StrictlySazz]

Never bored by you lovely

And I refuse to believe you have over eaten by 27,000 calories (3,000 to add one 'real' lb IIRC) so you won't have been so far derailed.

2lb a week is do-able but I think you can only have one 'bad' day/eve at the weekend. How about posting here once in the morning and once in the evening so we can kick your butt?

Are you able to do any exercise or are you still feeling poorly? Even 1/2 hr walk around at lunchtime is about 2.5k and may make you feel better with fresh air and away from office cakes?

Oops for being scuppered by the Doritos Helga. It happens to the best of us. Frequently

I've done ok today - should have made it within cals and hope to fast tomorrow. No shredding done again

[StrictlySazz]

Evens. Boo.
