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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Right - finally got on the scales and I'm 10.11. I'm very happy with that considering. The cake is almost finished!

You're lighter than me Helga, so well done on that!

3k run, 1hr circuits and 2 hrs shopping

Out for birthday curry tonight to undo it all......

Oh, and vair of your -2.75 Fjorn.

Hope you enjoyed your curry Sazz

Well done on keeping your weight down despite cake Helga! That tends to be my downfall I'm afraid...

managed another 1.25 off yesterday though despite it not being a fast day so down to 12 3.5 which is what I weighed before half term. Will my fasting today lead to actual loss????

Another 1.5 off! Making -3 for the week and 12 2 overall Still a loooong way to go but v relieved!

Where are you guys??? While waiting for congratulations on my loss this week i have ended up eating many many pringles...

Well done Fjor!!!

I'm 10.10.4 this morning. Which is -.6. We did the food shop Wednesday and have very little junk in the house (if you don't count crisps! And a tub of ben&jerrys).

After the success of my caramel apple cake I'm planning on making apple & cinnamon muffins this week or next week.

I'm in copenhagen drinking cocktails!

+5.5 today to 12 7.5. Oops! In my defence was soooo tired after DD's birthday sleepover that I needed mucho cake just to keep going, and also Sunday evening wine to blot the memory out... Hoping for a better day today!

Sazz hope you had a brilliant weekend why were you in copenhagen though?

Still 10.10.4. Happy with that seeing as it involved orange marmalade & brown bread ice cream.

Jealous of Copenhagen! DH & I used to go to Frankfurt end of November the last few years. Didn't this year due to DD but hoping to start going again next year.

Just a girls weekend away Fjorn

Cocktails, food and obligatory Danish pastries a plenty. Eek. Not done much better today tbh and very wobbly.

I am voting for somewhere warmer next year though. Twas very cold as I imagine Frankfurt would be too.

Mmmmm Danish pastries... I could just scoff a custardy one right now!

Yesterday ended up a write-off, finished the cake and moved onto the leftover Celebrations but it's all gone now so easier to be good when there is no temptation! Fasting today so should hopefully see some loss, although off to a Temple Spa sales pitch party tonight, ooh get me so not sure what that will involve in terms of drinks / nibbles. Not far but driving anyway so can't really drink anyway . Still sooooo tired all I want to do is crawl into bed.

Anyway managed -1.5 yesterday so not utterly shabby, 12 6. Would love to get under 12 before Christmas, I have 3 weeks & 2 days till my work's Christmas food fest on 19th at which points all bets are off so that's doable right???

No chance of me stepping near the scales

Not bad today but also no where near a fast and no exercise as have been working all day. Back to circuits tomorrow and hope that will kick start the energy and motivation levels.

Name change as bored......

Another 2.5 off, despite a glass of wine at my friend's house! So 12 3.5 and feeling quite determined. Not fasting so the work biscuit tin will be whispering its chocolatey siren call today, I MUST RESIST!!!!

Sazz I bet you are nowhere near as bad as you think after only a couple of days off. Hope you get abck to the gym today.

Helga oooh I love brown bread icecream, haven't had it for years are you being good this week?

Just got to work and realised i have box of salad leaves but no cottage cheese so no lunch for me this could go either way...

+4 to 10.13. Not great for a weds but only +1 on last weds so could be worse.

Fjorn - think that's a fast day for you then! Helps with the biscuit swervage.....

Still lurking egging you all on

Already had a biscuit But, this was for brekker and trying to save my yog & fruit until at least 11 then that can sort of be my lunch and will keep me going till I get home from work.

+1 on last Wednesday not too bad Sazz after a massive weekend away. Have a good day today and see what happens. Is it pub night tomorrow night or do you have one more day to squeeze weightloss in before Friday's weigh in?

Wotcha loti, lovely to see you how's it going matey? x

Hey Lotster, thanks for the support

Made it to the gym despite a zillion emails from work . 2.5k run, 10k bike, 1 hr circuits (although not really strenuous ones) and 5 mins powerplate.

Triathlon on Sat . Just hoping I remember how to swim

Still at 10.10.4.

To help motivate myself I grabbed a fitbit flex from Amazon Black Fridays deals. As far as I know I can make it sync with mfp for logging my food as well.

I'm not being too good at the moment but at least I'm staying the same weight and not going up. Might try to get to 10.7 for Christmas though!

I'm making apple & cinnamon crumb muffins this weekend though to take to in laws on Sunday! Licking the spoon while baking is the best part!

I seem to have pretty much had a fast day so far as been too busy to eat

Not sure whether I will continue it, but as I must have burned at least 500 cals at the gym this morning, so I think I can count it as a pretty good day whatever.

Well done on the staying even Helga - if you can do that with a little push every week i'm sure you can get to 10.7 by Xmas.

When I stepped on the scales this morning they registered 11.4 - I nearly fell off them again!!

-2.75 to 10.10.25. Really would like to get under the 10's tomorrow. No pub tonight Fjorn

Boo for lack of pub but yay for big loss Sazz hope you can get to 10 9 something by tomorrow!

I'm down 1 more despite slightly more biscuits than necessary to 12 2.5 so just 0.5 more to be levels. Fasting again today, drinking tea like it's going out of fashion & having a little bit of chicken curry with cauliflower rice for tea so fingers crossed I might even have a tiny loss despite mucho cake had a bit of a clothes try-on last night and stuff is starting to get a bit less tight

Evens this morning at 10.10.25. Slightly disappointed but never mind. I shall continue....

Well done in the fast day Fjorn and yay for looser clothes
