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

[FjorGynAndHotWater]

New thread, this one WILL work!!!!

Ended up with a mad craving for chocolate which I did indulge a bit so I am evens too

I think we should be reasonably pleased though really Sazz after the weekends we had!

Still 3 weeks to go, I WILL be under 12 before Christmas...

Still stuck at 10.10.4.

I have my eye on a weighing scale on the Amazon Black Friday deals so I'll be trying to get to 10.7 for Christmas and then really up the exercise and tracking in the new year.

Lol Helga - I was wondering if your scales are actually working . It is a very specific weight to be stuck at!

Lol @ chocolate ambush.

Triathlon tomorrow so no wine for me tonight....

Good luck with the triathlon. I'm a bit in awe, I can't swim, can only slow jog for a minute and haven't been on a bike in 20 years!

Missed the weighing scales but might buy myself a fitbit scales as I'm getting the fitbit flex.

I won't be anywhere near as 2 years ago due to foot injury, fuck all training and a cold. If I feel really crap tomorrow I might canx.

2 years ago I think I did:

2.5k run: 11.36
10k bike: 14 mins something
400m swim: 7.40 ish

So about 33 mins all in. Likely to be well over 35 this time I would guess.

Good luck Sazz you utter nutter

Ha ha, thanks Fjorn. I do feel pretty ropey with my cold and think DH might stop me doing it.

Anyhoo, due to no Friday night excesses, am down 0.75 to 10.9.5 which is good.

Oh poor you feeling poorly are you wussing out or not?

Got my period which sent me scuttling to the biscuit tin last night feeble excuse although was pretty good at work, anyway am +1 so not too bad for a saturday morning. Thinking of dragging my two round town in a bit for some exercise and fresh air. Must be stupid...

2.5k run: 11.59
10k bike: 14.18
400m swim: 8.29 (rubbish, but couldn't breathe)

Sorry. Just flung it down as a log so I didn't forget. Total 34.46. Just under 35 lol.

Enjoy your wander Fjorn. Weather is beautiful here. We are just off for our first Xmas gathering. Eek.

Mil may drive me to drink.....

Hello. I'm really not doing well with the weight loss. I weigh myself at my mums, but we don't go as much as we did now DH is here. And I do want to lose weight but hoping that it will happen doesn't seem to be working. sigh.

Hi Helga. I am awful at this weight loss lark. I turn up, say that I want to lose weight and disappear again. And have been doing this for the past 5 years.

On the plus side DD starts school in September - we have just applied for her place. She is quite bossy. Every now and then I look at her, me and my mum all together and get an awful feeling of deja vu. DS is into trains. And rockets. Both DD & DS, of course, very lovely in every way.

And - did you just do a triathlon. Wow.

Most impressive. Apologies for the disjointedness.

strictly that is AWESOME! I'm completely in awe!

Thanks for the welcome doctor. I have a feeling I might be a bit like you - pop up every now and again saying I want to lose weight and then disappear!

My scales finally moved this morning unfortunately they went up 10.11.2

I went off and bought myself a set of fitbit scales. Stupid amount of money. Haven't used them yet, waiting till the morning. My fitbit flex should arrive in the next day or two and will have everything synced to my mfp account.

Sorry - service watching Strictly Come Dancing at the same time!

Didn't dare weigh this morning due to saturday buffet and Sunday lunch excesses

Well one back DrG, lovey to see you . Glad to hear dc's are still being gorgeous .

Boo to scales Helga but you haven't put on masses at all. Looking forward to hearing about fit thingummy. Synching stuff sounds well beyond my small brain though!

Pretty much evens from Friday at 10.10.5 but did have a poorly tummy yesterday. It will probably all go back on again once normal eating resumes.

18 days to xmas party.

Hellooooo DrG how lovely to hear from you Are you fully settled back in England now, how is DH handling it? And can't believe your DD is nearly ready for school

Sazz your triathlon efforts are amazing, well done! And yay for funny tummies and being evens

Bugger re your +1 Helga but that's not really much, I'm sure your new gadgets will ahve you losing soon

My weekend ended up fairly carby (eg pizza...) but not too bad on the scales and only +2.5 this morning with a fast today to sort most of that out I hope. Tbh I think my thyroid is going a bit wappy again so can't actually take any credit for restraint, that kind of weekend would normally be a +6 or +7...

Well just had a call from thyroid consultant, apparently my hormone levels are fine so weight loss is all my own hard work

Excellent news Fjorn - well done

When so you get sign off from the head man?

You are getting ahead of yourself a bit there sazz, haven't even been for my first appointment yet

Oh no, that's rubbish Fjorn

Good day today and tummy better . 2.5 mile walk and 1hr xmas shopping! Also bought new trainers which I am going to try without orthotics in tomorrow to see how my foot copes. Really hope I don't put myself back to square 1

-2.5 to 10.8 . I moved the scales 3 times to check so I'll take it! Probably not fully back to 'normal' weight after the bug.

Circuits today

Woo hoo Sazz that's brilliant enjoy circuits today

I am down 2.5 too! Back to last Friday's weight with two days left to lose some this week and there's hardly anyone at work so the biscuits will hopefully get left in the cupboard...

1k run, 1 hour circuits and 10 mins powerplate.

Hope you are still swerving the biscuit tin Fjorn
