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

Well done all. Was +3 this morning and no chance of shifting any before tomorrow . Keep it up ladies and i will return next week, reenergised for the next 'attack'
xx

crispy have a fab time ad we will still be here when u get back ..

hope to "see" u here today hots

managed another 10km on bike yest, but not feeling great so not sure if i will manage anything today.. scales stuck on upwards not sure why as haven't been eating much but af here so hoping its just the bloat

Throat vile, girls driving me demented, 10km on bike and feel shattered

LOTI - you should really not be exercising when you are ill, give your body a chance to fight the bug not try and deal with exercise. Are you taking an additional vitamin at the mo? maybe you need a boost to help your body fight off the bugs.

fear not oops dosed up on vitamins!!! last 10km of the week done, weigh tom is not going to be pretty.. with af and no monitoring of the bad stuff!!

Morning - weigh in and I am 2lbs down :)

Loti - how are you this morning?

Hotpot - You about?

Hurrah oops!! well done you!!

Well i am a dreadful +3lb after monday being the lowest ever on this thread ..

completely shattered atm not really sure why, tho i am fighting this cold prevention well!!! Must do better next week!!

Hots WHERE ARE U???!!!!!!!!!

an hour of dancing my stuff yesterday and a quick 11km today.. food wise i couldn't possibly comment

Running my own show here!!! Nice walk with dd2 this am followed by 15km on the bike! Trying to up the exercise and control the food!!

I fell off the rather large wagon today chocolate caramel squares am 2 lb down but the cake will catch up by friday!

Sorry guys, this fell off threads I'm on for the first time ever, and the evidence is all too visible in my tummy am nearly a stone up on my lowest and my best dress only still fits because it swishes out from the waist no more drinking every night after today and back to work on Wednesday so hoping to get back in the groove...

loti well done for keeping on all on your own, am so sorry to have left you in the lurch and will do better from now I promise

Want to know a dirty secret? I've been smoking cigs and am half wondering whether to keep on for a bit to replace snacking

WELCOME BACK HOTS ..

would like to say that you are very naughty for smoking and all the evils etc but since i am a smoker too .. i have no rights on that score ..

Its just over three months til xmas .. so that is your game plan hots, try and lose that stone by then if u think it it is realistic for you?

oops a couple of chocolate caramel squares is ok, u still have three days to reign it back!!!

i am really badly bloated and the scales are showing that, need to go back to ff as i don't feel that i am eating that much but the scales say definitely am

is this the right place to be to lose a few pounds over the next couple of weeks?

just thought i'd pop over to see what you were all chatting about over here

Oi tweakers no cheek or we'll sit on you cry

Today I have mainly been still on holiday and am even having a glass of wine for the road now in anticipation of a beating from Sgt Sazz tomorrow...

Loti I think you have got your counting mixed up a bit, it's still over 4 months until Christmas! In fact to my reckoning it's 18 weeks on Friday until Christmas Eve so a lb a week could still yield decent results... you really need to get your kidneys looked at properly though, could be all sorts of hydration issues hampering your weight loss loti (and the fact you are already a skinny malinki )

Relieved to hear there is another smoker here too, although am giving up again tomorrow (was supposed to be today ) so watch out work am gonna be in a double foul mood

Tweaky - I lost 2 stone over here nearly 12 weeks ago!

18 weeks to Christimas

Sounds like a lot but is still a third of a year away!

I will hold off from weighing until Friday and see what a few days off bread do to the horrifying total then make my pledge once I know the true damage. Can SEE it though in my fat tummy good job DH doesn't mind a bit of wobble

well done oops, that's an incredible amount to lose! Did it happen fairly quickly?

on a serious note, i've decided that as soon as i'm able to (i'm aiming for 6weeks post bump to baby conversion course) that i'm going to join the local running club. not sure they'll have me but i'm going to give it a go! So girls, if Pea gets to 6weeks old and i haven't mentioned it, you're all welcome to give me a kick up the bum!

Tweaky - I doubt they will let you join at 6 weeks post partum, mine said 12weeks minimum because of loose ligaments and the hormones that loosen ligaments still being present. It can make you more prone to serious injury.

cool, that means i've got an extra 6 weeks
thanks though,I thought you could start after 6 so that's good to know

My maths is rubbish .. 18 weeks is def doable hots ..

still in pain but at least will find out sat what is going on and hopefully explain why the scales is going upwards and not downwards ..

biked tues/wed not too much but want to keep it up.. although i am sure crispy would say that its not a true exersazz and not that much exertion took place

Morning Laydees

LOTI - Don't want to see you here today!

I am 3lb down :) I think it is the drinking water instead of snacking that is working.

HP, Crispy - how are you?

Well a little came off but not much, it had been creeping up a bit over the last few weeks/months and have added another 4 from camping/partying all my own fault, and it's so rubbish that I have decided to take the pain now and add on the 2lb I think my new scales weigh me more than the old ones and just report what they say from now on.

So am 10lb heavier than I was when this thread started and had to buy a size 16 dress yesterday (but it is yummy and will still fit when I lose again) so my new target is simply to lose 1lb per week between now and Christmas which will finally get me out of the overweight section of the BMI chart and into the normal one.

Hope you all have a more promising weigh-in than me, especially you loti as you work so hard. Maybe your ultrasound will reveal a massive kidney stone weighing about 10lb which they will be able to blast to smithereens with a laser and you reqach the weight you want at last

Well done on -3lb oops! With hindsight I wish I had started when DS was a bit younger then I could have taken full advantage of bfing. Instead I just shovelled cake in like it was going out of fashion

Hots I hope so as another +2 today so that +5 in the last week and a half and I def haven't been eating all the pies v. frustrating . I guess if I had been eating loads would happily say it's all my fault but I haven't

well done for weight off oops and hots

where is our leader??????

Morning. Too scared to weigh and not sure what will be happening exercise wise as i am working again next week & don't seem to be able to do both

Need to get back in the groove asap. If i can keep food ok i should be alright, but as VG will confirm on her return, i was rather shovelling food (cheese and ice cream) and drinking holiday wine . VG on the other hand absteined from all bread/ice cream like a very good girl

Good plan Hots and i am now back on the no drinking in the week now holiday season is over.

LOTI, please do take care of yourself. Hope all goes well with the scan
