I tried to be active this weekend, but Iam at the mercy of my landscaper :-( Next weekend should be a great hiking weekend though, and I have a 5k on saturday :-)

Hey group- I'm just checking in to see how the weekend went for everybody.

I had great workouts on Saturday and Sunday but really over did it on the sugar and snacking. It’s much easier for me to keep up on my eating plan during the week when I’m busy at work. We are going out for lunch and ice cream tomorrow for a celebration. I’m really nervous about this because I just don’t eat out much anymore. I checked the website of the restaurant and it’s hard for me to find a healthy option. I think I’ll go with the grilled salmon (not sure if it’s glazed) and a salad. I’m hoping the ice cream shop has a good frozen yogurt I can chose. I hope we end up parking far so I have to walk a little more.

Does anyone else get a little nervous about eating out?

I would love to be able to do a 5k. I'll have to get the nerve up to run in public. Have you done a 5k before?

I've done a couple before. However I will be walking, and running during this one because my 7 year old is doing it with me! She completed her first 5k a few weeks ago.

That is so frustrating and disappointing. I hope you get your new scale soon and it is good news. I know that would totally make your day. You are welcome to stay in our group either way but it is up to you. Just hang in there and keep up your good work........

that is great that your daughter is doing it with you, what a great way to set a good example of a healthy lifestyle while making memories together. I have thought about doing a 5k but would have to walk most of it. Have fun on your run

It is hard for me to make it to the gym with the kids home for the summer but I plan on taking a walk with them and go swimming with them later. What are you doing today?

Sometimes I do , it depends on where I am going and if there are good choices. I find the best thing to do is have a plan before I go and it sounds like you have that covered. So you are on the right track. I hope they have some frozen yogurt or sorbet. ENJOY

I made it to Level 3 on my 30 day shred today, and just completed day 1 's workout for level 3. Oh my goodness! I thought Levle two was hard and I was getting good at it, but Level 3 is a whole new dimension! I have been doing really well with my nutrition and logging it all on MFP, so that is good!

I am finding that I am just really impatient to see a change! I think it will be nice once I am done with the Shred to actually measure myself and take pictures and see a difference! I have had the 9 pounds on the scale so far, which is great, but I can barely notice in the way I look and no one has said anything yet, it is just not a huge change. I know that if i stick with it, though, it will change dramatically in the long term!

As far as eating out, I do exactly what you did... get the nutrition info ahead of time and choose from home before I go. It makes it SO much easier to turn down all the yummy looking things I might impulsively order when i have chosen something ahead of time and start to look forward to it!

Make it a great day, team!

I had a pretty good weekend for once. I got on the scale on Monday and I had actually lost a pound! I have really been trying to expand my workouts and have been working on running a 2 mile route without stopping to walk. I'm working up to a 4 mile run, hopefully by my birthday in September I'll be there!

Have a great week everyone, the heat has finally subsided here in WI, today we are in the lower 80's, feels great!

momwithacamera

So, I just was browsing the forums and saw Group 8's name and they even have a logo... reminds me that we need a name!

I will be glad to put together some kind of logo or graphic for us if we can pick a name... I will start by throwing out some ideas that have to do with Christmas or New Years since that is the end of the challenge, but hope everyone will jump in with some fun ideas of your own!

Rocking Our Christmas Stockings!
White Hot Christmas Mamas
Team HOT Moms 2012 (HOT could stand for something)
Santa's Smokin' Hot Helpers (I am thinking we could do a really fun graphic with some kind of Santa-ish lingerie in it;) )
OK, I am out of ideas, and those all sound kinda cheesy to me now that I typed them, so I should quit before I chicken out of sending them!

OK, girls, throw those ideas out there!
Jen

themommie

Jen , that would be great if you could make us a logo, as for names I will have to give it some thought , I kinda like White Hot christmas mamas or Team Hot Moms 2012 ( but can't think of anything clever that hot could stand for)maybe healthy or ton-age...LOL

I like to look at what the other teams are doing to get ideas also. Some of them seem to have alot of interaction and others not much at all. I noticed one of the teams are doing weekly challenges. This week they are doing 200 crunches a day. I think this is a bit much but if you ladies would like we could come up with weekly challenges. Let me know if you have any ideas........Have a great healthy active day...........

xmusicxlovex

I love the name Santa's smokin' hot helpers. That's cute! A:)

momwithacamera

I am not sure it will work, but let me try to add one possible graphic for our team... let me know if it works or if you want a different name or anything, I just picked the one proudmommy said she liked to make a sample

I agree I love it........ I got a new walking partner. A 8 week old black lab shepard mix puppy. We named him Java, I think I will have to wait awhile before he can go on long walks though. The kids are extremely excited about this new addition. The first morning after we got him the kids all got up with him at 6 in the morning sitting around in their jammies playing with the puppy it looked like Christmas LOL. I did get in some walking today even though my walking partner had to be carried most of the way LOL. Hope everyone had a good day.......



doesn't this make you want to go out and walk ?

ashleystetzer

I love the name and the graphic, very cute!!

andreasperry

adorable puppy.... but are you sure on the breeds. looks like alot of beagle to me. i wish i could have a puppy for a walking partner. idt yould ever get me inside

xmusicxlovex

Lost two pounds this week! Woo hoo

themommie

just checking in........

I am just checking in this morning

SW 182
july 22 180.2
july 28 180
Goal 160

not much of a change this week but at least i am maintaining......... Hope everyone did better then me this week, Hopefully next week will be better. It seems that every other week I seem to drop 1-3 lbs and every other week I lost less then a lb. This just seems to be a constant pattern. Have you noticed a pattern to your weight loss?

ashleystetzer

Down to 172 this morning.

momwithacamera

Yeah, girls! good job! I am exactly the same as last week, 174.4 this morning. BUT, I am 5 days into level 3 of the 30 day shred, and I am certain I have gained a good deal of muscle, so I am consoling myself with that! Next week I will do measurements and compare them to before the shred, and I hope I will feel good then!

Glad you all like the graphic.. wanna stick with the name? Speak now and I will gladly change it!

I have gotten away from going to bed earlier, and that is not a good thing, So, my goal for the week is to get to bed between 11-12 every night.

Have a great weekend and keep up the hard work!

WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM – ALL GROUPS UPDATE!!

Hello, future hot moms! I noticed no one was tracking the 10 separate groups, so I thought I’d jump in! Basically, I love to track ANYTHING, I was bored today, and I want to instill some friendly group competition. Here are the group totals from 7/25’s weigh-in:

GROUP 1 – Lost 14.7 pounds (6 out of 8 members reporting)
GROUP 2 – Lost 0.6 pounds (4 out of 7 members reporting)
GROUP 3 – Lost 16.5 pounds (8 out of 8 members reporting)
GROUP 4 – Lost 11.7 pounds (8 out of 8 members reporting)
GROUP 5 – Lost 2.8 pounds (4 out of 8 members reporting)
GROUP 6 - No Check-Ins (0 out of 7 members)
GROUP 7 – Lost 2.5 pounds (8 out of 8 members reporting)
GROUP 8 – Lost 2.8 pounds (8 out of 8 members reporting)
GROUP 9 – Lost 2.2 pounds (6 out of 9 members reporting)
GROUP 10 – Lost 2.1 pounds (3 out of 4 members reporting)

GRAND TOTALS – 55 moms checked in, 55.9 pounds lost

Bragging rights go to Group 3 for losing the most weight! (Yay, team! That’s my group!!)

But before you get too excited, I also calculated the “% to GW” totals for each group. This is important, as there are major weight differences between each group with each member having a different amount of pounds to lose to reach her goal weight. I also could only calculate this percentage for the members who reported a GW. Here are the “% to GW” totals:

GROUP 1 – 2.62%
GROUP 2 – 0.17%
GROUP 3 – 6.3%
GROUP 4 – 2.82%
GROUP 5 – 0.36%
GROUP 6 – No Check-Ins
GROUP 7 – 1.46%
GROUP 8 – 2.24%
GROUP 9 – 1.18%
GROUP 10 – 16.41%

Bragging rights go to Group 10 for the highest percentage!

Now you know how the other groups are doing.

Will someone please, oh please, adopt Group 6? I’d volunteer my group, but I’m not a captain.

Any suggestions for future updates? Did you find this helpful at all?? If yes, I can put all this info in an official chart and do it each week. Send me a message , and let me know! I included all the group names below, in case other captains want to check out what the other groups are doing….

Good luck with Monday’s weigh in!!

I am doing well this weekend, but feeling really frustrated because I can't seem to get the scale to move... except today, when it went UP a half pound! UGH! I will complete the 30 day shred in three days, and I am REALLY hoping to get down to 173 by then to make it ten pounds lost!

Take care, everyone!

Hi ladies! How was everyone's weekend? Ours was very good. We didn't have alot going on besides a 5k race that I walked, and ran with my daughter. Iam so very proud of her because she completed the race, slowly but surely. After that I treated her to some ice cream, and she wasn't mad at me anymore.....lol. Sunday we drove up to Boulder for the day, and bought a rock crawling vehicle.I literally cannot wait to take that thing out on the trails in Moab this year! Iam very frustrated because I weighed in this morning, and I had gained a pound. My monthly friend will be visiting in a few days, so I blame it all on her!

themommie

CONGRATS to those that lost weight this week. For the rest of us, just hang in there it will happen. We only had 1/2 of us check in this week for the weekly weigh in, Let's try to do better this week. Together WE CAN DO IT.....
