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

Got my period today which explains at least some of the big gain and bloated tummy. It's a bit of a fucker though, only 24 days since the last one.

Thanks for the hugs Loti

You are all doing so well

pah pah pah.

up one lb. first time i have gained in about 2.5 months

hugs ALBS.. you have done fantastically well so far so is only a very temporary blip.. watch out next week i'm sure you will be ing again..

dd2 had early nap after being awake for most of last night so i decided to go on my bike.. was really tired to start but managed 30km in 46 minutes.. not brill but happy i completed it.. now i hope i can have some guilt free wine/nibbles tonight!

Loti you are amazing enjoy your rewards tonight

Albs I'm sure it's just a temporary blip brought on by your pre-weigh takeaway

I am attempting to hot myself up in other ways as the weightloss is currently So, toes painted (but not the same colour on both feet) and one leg waxed this isn't going too well

Hey all nowt off here nowt on either so alors c'est la vie. Have been bad with water this week and have also eaten a bag of Skittles (don't ask) along with various other Unapproved Items so let's draw a discreet veil over the week.

Loti fab work as always on the exercise!

Hotster I think what is needed now is some face to face encouragement so let's sort that out later this week!

Sazz I am clinging to the example of your friend...

Oh I have signed up for a 10K on 18th April so let's hope I'm Springheeled Jack again by then rather than lingering in the David Beckham camp.

well done greeny on your next 10k challenge, very impressed ..

did another 30km on the bike today, mad run around in the park.. will maybe have a little treat tonight but then from tom.. going to be really careful on what eat cos frankly been doing this challenge for 3 months a very little to show for it

One over here too please

Have not even weighed this morning but am hoping a couple of days of serious goodness will knock some of it off. On the plus side I ended up having a row with DH yesterday and going off in a lake of tears then suddenly realised it was PMT. Bizarrely my period has started coming early on day 24 but PMT on time on day 25 Anyway we are friends again and the DC's chocolate stash in the wardrobe remains intact so that's progress

veil for me to please .. didn't even go on the scales today.. tummy is still like a bloated whale so cannot blame af anymore tho she decided to stay for 10 days!!! ye gods..

not even sure if i will make the bike today due to dds poorliness... maybe i should just refain from even entering the kitchen

managed 23km in 35 minutes before i was required by dd1.. felt guilty peddaling away but to be fair to myself its the only me time i get... did look at it longingly when i had to get off.. getting used to burning a certain no of calories and didn't meet my usual quota..

hey ho.. poorly dds are much more important

well done sazz.. hope the curry is tasty and you have fun!!

Well done Sazz on restraint. You may remove your veil of discreetness!

well done on the restraint sazz.. glad you enjoyed it..

no exersazz for me today due to poorly dd1 and not feeling brill myself so for once i am going to listen to my body and take it easy...

I am very sorry for my extended absence from this thread, I seem to have got myself firmly out of the HotMama groove and am not sure what is going on . No exersazz for ages and carbs aplenty have been stuffed in. Not sure if it's the weather, tiredness or what. I am at work today so have healthy salad but also birthday buns and in the car again so not even any walking to be done. Oh woe is me

I've been absent too, genuinely finding it hard to build in posting time hence phone posting, as now.

Potster no kicking required. Sometimes carrots are better than sticks. You 've had various stresses round am-I-aren't-I and losing your grandmother and perhaps you've lost motivation a bit. Take your weightfrom Friday and try to lose a pound in the week that follows. It's always easier tothink about increasing a loss than reversing damage.

Easter hols here have limited exerSazzing. Taking both boys swimming today but that'll be just a splash for me.

well done on the exersazz sazz... my tour de france is on hold .. managed to pull my groin on monday so have had no exercise for 2 days meep... also have no time either at the mo with dd1 being so under the weather..

i am therefore being very very good with my food.. {so so boring}..

i graciously accept the challenge sazz and hope to be able to get back into the exersazz as soon as possible {groin/poorly kids permitting}
