[hotterpotter]

Here we are, thanks Cyteen for the excellent title although it's slightly false advertising on my part

Maybe if I sit in the sauna for 24 hours...

Well smoked salmon salad for lunch (my mum and niece are coming) and dinner tbc once I have been shopping this am, might do the hot 'n' sazzy salmon.

Am doing a Pilates class this morning but once again could only book creche starting half an hour after the class starts!! But I am not clued up enough to do it at home alone.

Good luck everyone....

hope you pilates went well vg and smoked salmon for lunch sounds yum! my dad always brings me over some when he comes here..

been to the gym have rowed for 15mins/ran for 11 mins and stepped for 13 mins.. trying to get a bit of variety going...

still feeling rubbish tho so off to pop some more cold and flu tabs yuck yuck yuck

LOTI hope you feel better soon. I'm about to force myself to do some exercise. I'm feeling really demotivated, but I MUST do it. Weighing in tomorrw

Euch so hard to exercise when you are feeling like that loti good work.

Yeah agree with vg re exercise while ill. Don't overdo it though loti?
Exercise vid plus 10 situps done. phew

thank you ladies .. am wallowing in trackie bottoms, tabs taken and sipping black coffee in a vain attempt to keep warm

well done qod on exercise when no motivation exists its a hard one so give yourself a well earned slap on the back ..

i believe that is 5 exersazz this week sazz.. if you have not lots loads tom will eat my hat

ooh well done sazz I'll be weighing in at the leisure centre this morning.

Well done sazz knew i wouldn't have to eat my hat ...

right well i am so so not happy.. need to tell you all about this so appologies in advance..

monday i was up 0.6 so had 7lbs to lose.. scales then went up again to 0.8...

yesterday i went to the gym, did workout and as there was a scales there i thought what the hell... i had lost 2.4lbs!!! so excited over this but then began to think that gym scales were wrong although usually they are pretty much the same as mine.. went home, hopped on the scales and same result... last night wasn't feeling great so didn't eat very much...

this morning hopped on the scales and have managed to put all that 2.4lbs... HOW HOW HOW...

So after that long text i am up 1.2lb on last fri.. not sure how much more this i can take...

Sazz that is fantastic, well done
loti that is a puzzler, unless you sweated sooo much during your exercise... How much water are you drinking at the moment?

Well after my scary weigh-in yesterday I have recovered a little but am still +4.5 on last week which means I am +1 on the start of this little challenge... I have thought about everything I ate in the two naughty days and although it was a lot it no way accounts for all that so fingers crossed I can wee it all out by next week

Forgot to weigh in again...I don't think I will ever have the right frame of mind for sustained weight loss effort This week has been pretty lame really so not expecting anything.

Great news for you Sazz, less good for the rest of us this week - I am even Stevens today, was actually expecting an uppage as was +3lbs earlier in the week . Ho hum. Am expecting my period so this may account for a stall otherwise I suppose I have just not exercised enough in the last 2 weeks. Brutal truth. Oh well there are still six weeks to go.

By the end of this challenge it will be April, and bright and sunny, and we'll all be reviewing our spring looks.

hots, sweated no more than usual.. this is really doing my head in.. been exercising 3/4 times a week since i started at the begining of jan.. am eating very few treat.. only having a couple of small glasses of wine a week... feeling like i am in a permanent state of hunger.. tho getting enough calories in for what i want to lose.. i just am not seeing any of the results...

guess i will give it one more week and if its worse/no change thinking of coming off the hot mamas and getting it out of my head for a bit as its turning me into a moany/whingy cow

loti i do think that weighing more than once a week can be detrimental. not only do you get obsessive about it but you read a lot into ups and downs which if you only weigh once, you can't as much. do i make any sense ?

Oh loti sorry you are feeling so crap. I can't believe you habitually eat as I do on my diet without the carbs and don't bleat on about it daily as I do. It's really disheartening when it doesn't shift, and you do so much exercise (take my pizza hat off to you on that score). I am boring for Ireland on the subject of weightloss, dp is every time I mention it and dives under his pillow, I know where you are coming from.

thanks for the advice ALBS will try and not weigh now til next friday..

and for the pat on the back vg ..

did my 21km on bike at lunch when dd2 was asleep in 32 mins and did my sit ups all whilst watching cooking programme ..

after a crap start to the day its wine o clock soon and i'm definitely indulging

Hi ladies, first time I've been able to get on here all day.
Weighed in this am at the leisure centre and I am up by 1lb. sod it. So I feel your pain LOTI - I have felt constantly hungry these last ten days, and got more exercise than I have in years, and I've put on weight.
On the other hand, I am getting towards the end of my cycle, so that might account for it.
Done one hour today with friend from bf group, so fingers crossed for next friday and seeing some weight come OFF.

queen the first week is the hardest (and least productive). i lost 1lb i the fist week and was both pleased and "wtf ish". I reckon it will start falling off next week. and the hunger will get better!!!!! promise.

Keep it up.

Ran 6K yesterday, thank goodness, a good way to end the week. Heels sore today though.

Went to Milano - Pizza Express - last night and had a very uninspiring and pretty much tasteless chicken salad while the boys gorged on doughballs etc. ds1 is currently mixing up pancake batter for breakfast... haven't the heart to tell him I can't have flour...

well done on the walk sazz.. 3hrs is a long time ..

don't give up hope qod we have a whole week to play with before the next dreaded weigh in!!!

been on my bike and done my usual 21km in 32 mins plus sit ups and taking dds swimming this afo so mucho bouncing in the water!!!

def going to go to the gym 3 times next week to mix up my biking don't want to become complacent however sweating buckets from the exersion at the mo

down 1lb yesterday. pleased, but after 2 weeks of 3lb losses it felt a bit pitiful. dh has lost his first (only i think - only lbs to go now) stone ]envy]. I have lost 11lb in total now which i know is fabbo!!

did have a bit of a pig out last night but nowhere near like i would without even thinking when i was pre-diet. we had fish finger sarnies for dinner (had them loads when preg with ds and not since), then i had about a third of a box of maltesers. mmmmmm.
