"Who Wants to Be a Hot Mom " Group 7

Babbe

Super busy here the past few days. Getting in walking though better than nothing. I did 3 miles on Monday and 2.5 miles today. I am trying to make sure to drink my 8 glasses of water.

One question though do you count tea as water or just straight water as your water intake?

WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, Week 8 (9/12)

Hello, Hot Moms!! Check out the weekly stats below.



Here's a quick summary of the past 8 weeks.



Holy crap. Did we just collectively lose only 5.9 lbs this week?! 39 members weighing in, and only 5.9 lbs?! Time for a progress report!!

Below, you will find our latest progress chart. I’ve calculated everyone’s “% to GW.” As of today, if you want to reach your goal weight, you will need to have a 34% or higher. To make it even more fun, I calculated your estimated weight loss by 12/31 and also your estimated weight on 12/31. These calculations are based on your total weight loss for the past 8 weeks, and I think you’ll find them very interesting.



CONGRATS to everyone in the green! Let’s take a moment to recognize the members who are already over half-way to their GW’s:
:flowerforyou: LPC020409 in Group 4
:flowerforyou: Cherilea in Group 7
:flowerforyou: MacksMama in Group 8
:flowerforyou: Swimmom2 in Group 9
:flowerforyou: And rkeaton360 in Group 10
You ladies rock!! Thanks for showing us how it’s done!

:ohwell: [SIGH]...I’m still in the white group. But I’m SO CLOSE to getting in the yellow group! I’m tempted to change my 12/31 goal weight, but according to my favorite iPod app, “Target WEIGHT for Adults,” if I continue to lose weight at the same rate I lost for the past 2 weeks, I will reach by goal weight by 12/18/2011. There’s still hope for me! So….my GW stays the same for now. I’ll see what the next 4-week progress report says.

FYI - The next progress report will be posted the week of October 10, just DAYS after our half-way mark. It’s time to kick our weight loss in to high gear!

Have a great week, Hot Moms!!

Helen - thanks so much for all your work on the calculations - it really does put things in perspective

MayLan

hi all,

I'm a mom looking for a group to join. Is there still time to join?

mrsjohnson75

Love the calculations/predicitons! I'm super motivated. I haven't been exercising...so slowly working on that. I am however staying within my calories.

renaegry

Just got back from fitness class and had a great burn - 621 calories. I needed it after being in Yorkton and having Mcdonald's for lunch and brought home pizza hit for supper. Did manage to stay within calories thou.

Down 2 pounds today, just cross the fingers it is still there on Friday (weigh in day).

Hope everyone is having a good week. Everyone is doing great on the charts.

tamcrit

Hi Ladies - Hope you are all doing well. I had a bout of the stomach flu this week, but am feeling better now. While I wouldn't recommend it as a weight loss method, it did have a positive impact on the scales...I am 153 today, which is 16 pounds gone since beginning Hot Moms!! I hope it sticks and doesn't go back up now that I am eating again. I will do the official weigh in tomorrow. I loved seeing the chart and am feeling good about my progress so far...just trying to keep it going. I have been doing well with food, but just can't seem to get myself back into a workout routine. I ran the 9-11 Heroes Run 5K on Sunday, but that was the first time I had run since doing my half on 8/21. I really have not been working out at all...not good. How do you guys get yourself motivated to get moving?? I need a kick in the butt!! Thanks everyone for the continued support!!
Have a great day!! Tammy

Have a great day!! Tammy

Tammy--I'm not very motivated at present due to the continued fatigue/nausea, but I'm hoping in the next few weeks when that resolves I'll get better! Prior to my pregnancy I was great at working out, and was able to get about 5 workouts in per week. For me, I'm super busy so 5:00 a.m. workouts are my only option during the week. When I first started working out early in the morning I HATED getting out of bed. I would have to have an internal conversation with myself while I was laying in bed every morning and say to myself "Will an extra 45 minutes of laying in bed get you the results you want? NO!! So get your butt out of bed and get on the treadmill or elliptical!!!". One other thing that helped is that I have been a member on another thread since January that focuses on getting daily exercise in. There are a handful of us that post several times per week (if not daily) what we've been doing for workouts, and knowing that I wouldn't be able to post a workout if I skipped was a motivating factor. That thread can be found here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/330927-my-2011-52-7-7-challenge. Feel free to join in, there are several very nice supportive ladies there!!

Hope you guys are having a fantastic day. Thank goodness the weekend is almost here!!!!

Babbe

Tammy I'm in the same boat as you with the workouts. Haven't really wanted to workout since coming back from vacation. I am try to fit in the exercise with the new school routine but it is not happening. I need that kick in the butt too. I think my problem this week is that I was sick for a couple of days then TOM.

Planning on taking a walk when I go pick up my daughter off the bus.

Cherilea

Since going back to work, I find my routine in all sorts of shambles! By the time I get off of work, and do stuff around the house, the kids are home and it's off to a football game, Wed night church, or whatever else we have going on. I've been trying to exercise in the evening, but that's when everyone is home...that elliptical of mine can get pretty noisy and it's in the tv room with everyone else. I try and get it done and try not to beat myself up if I don't. Im almost scared to get on the scale tomorrow....I don't think Im going to like what it has to say. :grumble:

renaegry

Weigh in this morning was 150.8, down 1.2 pounds.

wanna_be_fit

Up and down, up and down. 151.4 this morning, so down about a pound from last week. Hope everyone is doing great!!!

Babbe

weigh in today was down 0.7 lbs. So I am at 144.6

tamcrit

Pretty good results so far ladies!! I am weighing in at 152.8 today...down 3 pounds from last week!! Down 16.2 since the start of our challenge!! I guess there are some benefits of having the stomach flu...lol!! Whatever, I'll take it!! Happy Friday everyone!! Make it a great day!! Tammy

Babbe

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just stopped in to say hi.

mrsjohnson75

Hello Hot Moms,

I weighed in at 147.8 which is a loss of only .2 but I'll take it! I have got to start exercising at this point...still working on that!

amers55

Sorry to weigh in late! 152.2 this week. I have been slacking with eating, water (my glass water bottle broke) and exercise but today is a new day! A fresh start!!! Have a good week ladies!

curlyjayne

sorry to weigh in on a sunday, but i have been away since friday.
lost 1 lb this week

Cherilea

Sorry I have been MIA. it was a crazy week, then Saturday I spent 6 hrs in a teaching seminar. This week will be wild since it's homecoming week and there is so much going on! My #2 son, Josh, is on the homecoming court. His older brother was homecoming king in 2009...so we shall see if he follows suit! I shall weigh myself soon...for better or for worse :grumble: and post at the beginning of the week.

Swimgoddess

Quick check-in. No change. I got my med & water intake thing under control but have ID'd a 3rd culprit; even though I'm SET for 2100 net/day, I actually fell short an average of 227 net cals/day the week before last and a whopping 568 net cals/day short last week. My body is clinging onto weight for dear life! I'm going to stay on top of ev-er-y-thing this week because I need to get back in this for real ASAP. This Friday makes my 6 week post-op & "restriction-free" mark. I sure as hell hope my weight gets back to my "fully recovered" mark; because then I'm going to really start beating myself up

renaegry

Had a good weekend. Over indulged a bit in the snack department.

Went to fitness class tonight and it was ran as boot camp, got a reall good burn in. My HRM watch ain't working right, so last week I got mad and ordered a new Mio with the chest strap (the one I currently have is a Mio Petite Motive) The watch should be here Wed so I can try it out at fitness class on Wed.

Not sure what this weeks weight will hold, TOM this week, but hope to hold steady at least.

I hope everyone is going well.

Izzie - don't beat yourself up if your not quite there. It will just make it harder, and your body will just hold onto it longer.

wanna_be_fit

Hey ladies!! Yet another week under our belts. Pretty good showing overall this week. Just missing 2 weigh in's, but since it is already Tuesday I'm going to go ahead and post the chart.



I'm still hanging in here, still feeling pretty crappy but the Zofran helps me to deal with the nausea a little bit. Can't wait to feel better--I think I was around 14-16 weeks with my daughter before I felt normal again. Fingers crossed I'll be better in a couple weeks! I really can't wait to get back to working out, but I am just exhausted at the moment, and it is all I can do to keep up with my crazy work schedule and home life.

Keep up the great work ladies, you guys are doing fantastic!!!

Cherilea

~~ WEIGH-IN 9/21/2011 ~~

Ok, all....I only lost .4 lbs putting me at 156.4 making that 10 lbs lost since joining Hot Moms. It's been a struggle since Im still trying to find a routine since starting work again. It will fall in place...in time. I sure miss exercising in the mornings though Anyhoo, sorry about being so late weighing in....time for me to get back on track! :happy:

Went to fitness class tonight, and it was ran as boot camp again. Tried out my new Mio Energy HRM with chest strap. Definately get a more accurate reading. Burned 231 cals, and 30G of fat. Will be interesting to see next week how many cals I burn in an actual class not ran as boot camp. See how close it was to my old HRM with no strap.

Heather - Just a little correction for me this week...my weigh in was 152.8, not 152.2, with a 3 pound loss for the week. Just wanted to make sure you have it right, as it could throw off future weeks. Thank you for keeping track of all our stats.

curlyjayne

I have lost another 1 lb this week, slow and steady seams to be working for me. xxx

Cherilea

I know I weighed in on Wed., but I will weigh in again on Friday...I want to get back on track and that was always my day anyway. We shall what the scale says tomorrow.

Babbe

Today was my anniversary and we went out to eat. I was only over by 29 cals. So proud of myself. Hoping that the scale is nice to me tomorrow.
