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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

LOL sazz you are a sweetie of course it's not all actual lard, and was down 3 this morning (or 2, can't actually remember ) plus got my period so maybe that's a bit more water retention to wee out.

Am feeling quite a bit better actually thanks, prob 90% better. Tinnitus got pretty loud again since Saturday which has usually led to a big increase in dizziness but only a bit this time so maybe it is slowly healing. Got my appt with ENT on 16th December so will maybe be cured by then Still not up for running or shredding though! Have walked about 3.5 miles today and will walk 2.5 on Thursday and Friday so that's an improvement on zero exercise.

Anyway hope your fasting day has good success today Sazz. My tummy is rumbling, need to ignore the marshmellows we failed to toast

Well done for keeping under 11 Helga, and what's a few doritos between friends???

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better Fjorn - have you had any tinnitus counselling - it was very good.

Back to Friday's weight so hoping to shift some by this Fri. Circuits this morning so hope this will re-engergise my exercise a bit.

Happy Wednesday all

2.5k run, 1hr circuits, 10 mins powerplate.

Oh and I got my hair cut too, so must be a few extra oz!

Not sure what happened! Yesterday had a kinder egg, 1.5 corned beef & coleslaw roll & 3 "big & chunky" cookies (in addition to breakfast & dinner. Weighed myself this morning and I'm 10.10.8. I really don't know how I managed that!

Arrghhhh, computer not letting me post on MN again

Helga - I think just by more mindful eating you will lose even if you have some blip days. Other weigh ins can just be WTF

I had better start pulling my running socks up as you are only 0.05lb behind me competitive, moi??

1.75 down to 10.9. Woo hoo

Just hoping it stays off for official weigh in tomorrow.....

Oh and I'm considering Jillians 6 week 6 pack DVD (which I have but haven't really done). About 6 weeks till Xmas.

Still only considering the thought mind you

Woo hoo sazz you're doing brilliantly! Are you off out to the pub tonight? If so I'd claim that weight for the week!!!

Helga you are doing really well too despite all your slippages

I am down to 12 7 so 'only' 3.5 up on pre-half term with today's fast going well so might get closer than that with a bit of wee luck

No tinnitus counselling as yet, have done it a bit arse-about-face as had MRI before seeing anyone ENT. Got my first appointment on 16 Dec (4 months after first incidence of dizziness ) so I will probably be used to it by then...

Thanks Fjorn - have just re-read the last thread and it's the lightest I have been all year. Not sure whether that deserves a or tbh!

The t

Feckin phone - still can't post from pooter.

Tinnitus counselling was very good as the guy explained what it was, probable causes, things which would make it worse and how to train your brain not to hear it. I accept he was probably a v good one and you might not get so lucky. Actually he was different from ent consultant.

Right, off for steak and salad tea. No pub

Woo hoo. -2.75 on the week to 10.8.0. Glad I have broken the evens trend if the last couple of weeks

Friends for dinner tonight but pretty quiet weekend after that so shouldn't be too bad.....

That's great work and well deservered sadly no such success here, am down 3 but still up 2.5 on half term after a week of being pretty good. So 12 6 which is better but NOT GOOD. Can I manage a good weekend????

Reasonably good weekend so far, only up 2 this morning which is fairly miraculous for me and not boozing tonight so Monday morning damage may be more undoable than normal. It helps that DH has decided he is too fat too (at 6 foot 3 he weighs same as 5' 7" me ) so he isn't tempting me with stuff

This has been a terrible weekend for me. Loads of food and no exercise. Boo.

Well done on your abstinence Fjorn, fingers x'd tomorrow will be a positive result

Helga - how are you getting on?

+3.5 but feels more like half a stone. Bleugh.

Isn't it funny, you are bleurghing at +3.5 and I am at +3! Came a bit undone with cake and homemade sausage rolls yesterday but swerved booze so starting the week relatively ok. Of course the lack of booze means there'll be nothing to wee out... Here's to another healthy week Sazz, hope you get exersazzing too

How's it going Helga?

Loti if you are sneaky reading this hope you are doing ok matey xxx

Just feels more than +3.5. Maybe it was +1stone 3.5 and I missed the first bit

Am coming towards my period which oddly makes me generally lose so maybe that is contributing to overeating and bleugh too. Limped through today so should stay within 1200. Need to exercise tomorrow as working when I normally do circuits.

I am still checking in

Well done on last week loss sazz and am sure this week will be good too don't lose the faith

Fjorny fingers crossed for a good week only 44 days til Xmas don't u know!!

Battling along here tis v v hard but trying to keep the exercise up. Did really well last week but been scuppered by poorly dd1 atm but hoping to get back to the gym at some point this week

Hi loti, nice to see you

Still +3.5 here

8k hilly walk/jog (forgot my water bottle so couldn't exert too much energy all at once ) followed by 6 week, 6 pack Level 1. Didn't really get into the groove of it if I'm honest but it's 1/2hr focus on my wobbly tum so won't have been wasted.

No gym this week as working tomorrow but will try and fit something in before going away again on Friday to a hotel with lots of yummy food and wine

Was 10.10.8 yesterday but 10.12.somthing this morning. I'd like to be 10.7 for Christmas so need to stop buying choc chip&hazelnut cookies!!

Hey loti, lovely to see you hope it's going OK. Poor DD, she does keep you out of the gym! Hope she is feeling better soon too

Helga you are comfortably in the 10s though, well done! Maybe have a day off biscuits tomorrow though...

Sazz bugger re evens, it'll all come off tomorrow I'm sure. Your walk / run sounds sort of lovely, it's been a gorgeous day here while I have been stuck at work

My non-catastrophic weigh in yesterday did indeed mean I didn't have loads to wee out so only down 1 this morning to 12 8. Been fasting today so might have better news in the morning. Tummy rumbling...

Down 1 here too. I need another overnight loss of 2.75 like last week to have any hope. Tis all my own fault though....

Two off for me so back to friday's 12 6 with two days to go till weigh in. Being good today (hopefully!) and fasting again tomorrow so really hoping i can get back to pre-half term weight by Friday.

Sazz I'm sure you'll manage it! Are you gymming or running today?
