    Alright all you Hot Moms, here's the chart for the week. Also, this weeks challenge will be PUSH-UPS. Let's start off with 10 a day.
    They can be the real kind, on your knees, or even against a wall.

    WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, 8/15 Weigh-In

    We’ve “whittled” down our numbers, ladies! We started out with 74 members on July 18. Now, 4 weeks later, we are down to 60. A couple of group captains dropped inactive members (those who haven’t checked in for 2 or more weeks). One member is also celebrating a pregnancy and is no longer being tracked.

    Check out our weekly update below:

    No group gains this week, and that’s a large improvement from last week! Yay, Hot Moms!!

    This chart is SO condensed that it’s difficult to see the personal progress members are making. After 4 weeks, I thought it would be helpful to provide some performance feedback. Let’s use these numbers to better understand where we are and to help us get to where we want to be.

    First, let’s recognize the 16 moms who are on track to reach their 12/31/11 goal weights. (Chart organized by group #.)
    hp8bb.png

    Special Shout-Out to :flowerforyou: swimmom2 :flowerforyou: for reaching 50% already! You’re half-way there!!

    There are also 19 moms who are 50-97% towards their 12/31/11 goal weights. Here they are below:
    grdIj.png

    That leaves us with 25 moms who are 0-49% towards their 12/31/11 goal weights. No reason to list them – they know who they are. :tongue: This includes me, Hot Moms.

    To give you my numbers, my SW was 199.0, and I have lost a grand total of 1.8 lbs since July 18. If I continue down this path, I will lose a total of 10.4 lbs by December 31, which is only 28% of the weight I need to lose to reach my GW. Considering this feedback, I have 2 options: (1) Change my 12/31/11 GW to 188.6 so I can be on track to reach my GW, or (2) Kick it up a notch, eat clean, exercise hard, and start losing more than a pound a week so that I can get to my original 12/31/11 GW. For me, I choose option 2. These past 4 weeks were hard, due to family outings and sickness, so I’m hopeful my numbers will improve. I recognize that there are just under 20 weeks left in the year. I only need to lose 1.6 lbs a week to obtain my GW, so I believe it’s still possible; therefore, my GW stays the same (for now).

    Now take a moment to review your numbers. Are you on track? If not, do you want to adjust your 12/31/11 GW? If yes, don’t sweat it! It’s all about using this feedback to help you get where you want to be. Remember, there is no such thing as failure – only feedback; only results.

    Let's go, Hot Moms!!

    Thanks Helen! Quite the info.! I will be back from vacation tomorrow! Way off on this week's challenge, since iI only read it today! Great job this week girls! I think I was the only one who went up, and it's only by 6/10 of a pound, so I'm not freaking out! Now, I AM worried about this upcoming one - TOM plus 5 days at the beach is making me nervous!

    Hey mom friends! Hope you are all doing well, as kids get ready to head back to school. I am a teacher, and have two inservice days and my school's Meet the Teacher Night this week, then students start on Monday, and my own kids go back to school on the 30th. They will be in 1st and 5th grade! Well, I was up 2.7 pounds after vacation - vacation plus TOM was not a great combination. BUT - I am back down and weighed in today at 199.6! I did it twice because I did not believe it! Don't forget to weigh in today! :flowerforyou:

    Working on this week's chart. I had it posted, but it cut off the last two columns, so I need to figure that out.

    To summarize until I get the chart figured out:
    Amber - 229 - minus 1 lb.
    Shelly - 200.2 - minus 3.4 lbs.
    Mindy - 219 - up 2 lbs.
    Sal - 208 - same
    Nancy - 199.6 - minus 1 lb.

    No weighins reported at this time: summer_of_69 and bubblesburst80.

    Keep it up girls!

    WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, Week 5 (8/22)

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

    qhTOD.png

    Another interesting week! Sometimes we lose together, and we gain together.

    Here's a quick summary of the past 5 weeks.

    UdhQl.png

    We have fewer and fewer members reporting each week, and as a result, our weekly weigh-ins are suffering. We seem to have lost that Week 1 & Week 2 momentum, where each group saw BIG numbers. Now we're not even averaging a 1/2 lb per member weekly weight loss!

    pwL5w.png

    Many of us had end of the summer barbecues, as well as school start days for our kids. Life's been busy, and our schedules are changing. It's time to regroup and refocus!

    TQ2oo.png

    Let's make this week our new "Week 1." Jump in with the same GUNG HO you had 5 weeks ago!

    We can do this, HOT MOMS!!

    OK, Let's see if this version of the chart posts okay. It is showing all the columns on photobucket, but when I posted it here I lost half the columns yesterday. Haven't had a chance to mess around with it until now. By the way, did anyone else feel the earthquake that was felt up and down the east coast? I felt it here in PA!

    Hope you are all having a good week! Sun is now shining - Irene has moved on by. Where I live we got wind and rain, but nothing bad. Many people lost power, but so far we have been lucky there. Lots of leaves and branches down. Could have been much worse!

    With the bouncing - try not to get discouraged. I feel like I bounced around between 200 and 205 for most of July and August. Not sure why because I exercised more during that time period than ever before. You'll get there soon!!

    Challenge idea - post to the thread more often!! :smile:

    WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, Week 6 (8/29)

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

    Ta6jA.png

    We have lost over 200 pounds!!

    Here's a quick summary of the past 6 weeks. I re-did the numbers to account for all the late check-ins.

    LP1i5.png

    Way to knock it out of the park!! As a group, we lost more pounds this week than the previous 4 weigh-ins! This is going to make a HUGE difference in reaching our goal weights by New Year’s.

    Is anyone wondering what happened to Group 5? Their captain hasn’t checked in since August 1, and they only had a couple of members who checked in regularly. Their posts were fewer and coming days apart, and I was afraid we’d lose them. Group 7 “adopted” the active Group 5 members – :flowerforyou: many THANKS to Group 5's captain, wanna_be_fit!!:flowerforyou: And look what happened when the groups joined together!

    ep96k.png

    As a combined group, these ladies are losing more together than they were apart! And they are more active on their group postings as well. Having a larger active group can make a big difference. If you want to see how the other groups are doing, then check out their threads below.

    Have a great week, Hot Moms!!

    My son started 1st grade on the 23rd. I am so bored without him home! :cry:

    How did the first week of first grade go? My little first grade guy seemed to have fun - doesn't tell me much. My 5th grader had a fantastic week, according to her, and loves her teacher!:smile:

    Question...and I hope I'm not out of line. What do y'all think about dropping "summer of 69"? From our group. I didn't see a single post from her on the thread and she hasn't weighed in since week 3. Again, sorry if I'm out of line. I think it would help our group percentage if we only included those of us who weigh in. Just a thought :)
