Aug 08 Hot Mamas - we are losers and we are proud!

[hotterpotter]

OK, during the last thread I managed to lose the grand total of...nothing in fact I am a few pounds up [sigh]

Have lost maybe an inch from bust waist and hips so that is something I guess, but I will not be in the same position at the start of the next thread. Sazz Someone give me a stern talking to

managed to shift those 2lbs from earlier in the week so back on even stevens.. still 3 1/2lbs to reach target which i hoped to do before cyprus .. thats not going to be achieveable unless i live/sleep on the bike and not eat and that is so not going to happen!

good luck with run vg

well done on staying level or even a little under

Can I just second GG on the need to love our amazing bodies. Just look at all the beautiful Aug08 babies - we grew those! Every day our bodies do a thousand thousand extraordinary things for us, so whatever our shape and size we should be proud and resolve to enjoy all the benefits of mobility

well done sazz and 10st 6 sounds fab in my book ..

tooks dds swimming this am.. getting harder as dd2 keeps leaping out of my arms and just managed a quick 20km on the bike..

which equals... drum roll...136.5km=84.63 miles and a gorgeous 2730 cals burned since monday!!! i should be a lean mean fighting machine tho.. i keep awarding myself bad treats such as wine and pringles

Loti no wonder you have been struggling a bit to lose weight if you are eating pringles!!!!!!

Well done on all those miles though, it shows some real dedication.

I have been swimming today, 40 lengths in 39 minutes again so have done enough to deserve some wine tonight . And I am sat at my desk with a tub full of M&S chocolate bunnage only 9 inches from my left hand It has been there a whole hour and have I had any of them????? NO [tempted]

weighed in this morning and am -4lbs from booking in appt and -23lbs in total

will up the excercise this week as am only in work on Wed and Thurs and they're late shifts

well done all

i seem to have lost 2lb - so after last weeks 1lb on i am 1lb down on pre disneyland. 10st11 which is still not great (for my 5ft 2 height) but is bloody marvellous compared to my starting point

well done ladies who have lost....

Well done albs! That's brillig. Good swimming hotster & good news dizzy that you are still under booking weight .

Sazz great to hear you are back in the groove.

cyteen I have ordered the 30 Day Shred as ds just won't go into the gym creche so I am at wits' end for exercise. (Have not done buggy running). However did do a race this morning, 5K which I did in 28:55 so quite happy with that though felt v awkward & never really got into a rhythm. Am thinking of doing another 10K on Midsummer's Day, it's at 7 in the evening in a really lovely estate a few miles from me.

right, have dug out the swim suit - one step at a time ladies, one step at a time

might try it on tomorrow

Don't try it on just go to pool and casually slide in.

VG am not convinced that it either stretches that must OR that its been stretched so much its see through!!

appreciate the tough love though

Oooooh I might have a preggo one still - let me get into the attic in the morning & check for you. It was a good one, Zoggs, someone else handed it on to me.

Sorry - maybe you don't fancy 3rd 2nd hand swimgear. Thousands wouldn't!!

no shame here thank you x

Great. Can't promise isn't already gone off to someone else but don't think so.

LOL @ 3rd hand swimsuit. i bought mine with DD1 and wore it for both. It was like a seethrough, disintigrated dishrag by the time i had finished

Get thee to the pool Dizz.......

Congrats ALBS on the loss, and i really hope todays antics mean you fall of your weightloss wagon

morning ladies..

too much vino drunk at the weekend.. so from today i have to be extra extra good.. anyone know of a quick couple of days plan that helps shed loads of weight/beat the bloat in my my last week to try and get into bikini??

loti do 100 situps a day and drink 2l water.

laters potaters

Only 1lb up on Friday so that's a promising start to the week

I inherited this slightly ridiculous contraption from my Grandma but haven't managed to have a go on it yet. Am hoping when I do it will miraculously firm me up...

Well done albs! My holiday was my downfall so I am very glad you have continued losing

VG am in awe of your running Let us know how you get on with the shredder, may have a go too if it impresses.

Dizzy yay for swimming costume Now go and get it wet

Sazz hope you are having a healthy day

Loti no idea, apart from a tummy bug... Anyway you don't want to be too firm and toned, after all just think of Madge in that leotard

no pilates for me today due to dreaded lurgy.. no energy to exercise.. not hungry tho so i guess thats a silver lining

meant to say well done hots on quite a virtous weeekend..

aother lb down albs is awesome..

hats off lg for excellent run.. hope you weren't too achy afterwards xxx

Dizzy - if you need a cossie - I have a brand new one I bought for Oz - I only wore it a couple of times as I sacred the natives in my Tankini! If you want I can post it to you today!

LOTI hope you are en route to doc.

30 Day Shred arrived today & I did the first workout, it's a 20-min workout mixing cardio, strength & ab things and you never have to do anything for very long so it's good that way - keeps your interest because it keeps moving on to the next thing. I thought it was quite good actually & I'm going to try to stick with it. Unfortunately I don't have any of those hand weight things so I used a litre of vodka and a litre of tonic. I felt it didn't quite set the required tone though.

cyteen are you liking it?
