Here's where we stand for week 2



I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Stick with it!

Wow, all of your starting weights are light!! Good luck to all of you. :happy:

I weigh in at 110lbs last night.

rKeaton - you don't have to do 30 Day Shred everyday. I think the DVD is only intended to be done daily by people who don't do anything else. I have a couple friends who do 30DS when they can't get to the gym. Although I am not sure how much of a workout it would be for you since you are doing bootcamp, you might feel like it's not enough. It's a good workout for 20 min, but it is only 20 min, KWIM.

So I started 30 days slim down instead of brazil butt lift because DH put the DVDs on our media player and I can't select the different videos on there. He is going to fix it for me, but who knows when he will get around to it. I am making it harder by using weights with all the cardio moves. DH is starting p90x again. I guess seeing me working out motivated him to start again. Yay!!!

DD is turning 3 on Saturday. Her daycare is having its end of the year celebration this Thursday, so we are celebrating her birthday at school tomorrow. And then a mini vacay to Vegas. It will be tough in Vegas, but I have to push myself.

MaxandHenrysMom

I liked your list -- I had a super grandmother (and grandpa), too. I wish they had lived to see my two boys.

Here's mine:

1. TV did not play much of a role in my life as a kid. We had an old black and white that only got PBS if you stood just right and used tin foil on the rabbit ears (dating myself here).
2. No pets -- though I bet that changes when my boys get older. Their eyes light up whenever they see a dog or cat.
3. Blue
4. Cheerleading and English class.
5. Upbeat / Smart
6 Earning my Ph.D and having my boys (we went through three rounds of IVF)
7. I want to be a great (healthy, patient, and energetic) mother
8. Icecream
9 Buffalo -- I love my city
10. Bring less work home
11. Beach
12. My parents
13. Have a strong family and make a real difference in my students' lives
14. Into my favorite authors' studies and watch them at work.
15. Intelligence, generosity of time and spirit
16. This is a hard one: I feel fortunate to find kindness almost daily in my life.
17. Dedicated to family / generous to students / thankful.
18. Schooling and college for my boys and neices and nephews.
19 My husband - we met when I was 17 and he is still my favorite person to spend time with.
20. Celebrate and move on.

I am out of town, and it's too hard to response to the questions on my phone. I will be back on Saturday. Sorry that I am MIA.

Have a great time in Vegas!

We understand! I hope that you're having fun in VEGAS!

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!!

This update is nice! I like hearing about other moms working hard toward their goals. It makes me more motivated.

kripley1229

Okay it's weigh in day again! Sorry I've been kind of MIA. I had a bad week. Yesterday was the anniversary of my dad's death 3 years ago. I fell off the bandwagon for a few days, but I'm back today to start anew! Thankfully I didn't gain any. I weighed in at 119 this morning. I'll post an updated chart tomorrow.

I'm sorry to hear about your bad week and the loss of your father. Anniversaries of losing someone can be really tough.

It's a new week.

I weighed in at 111.5 again, so no changes for me. I don't feel too badly though since I got some good news. Today I was measured at the gym and my body % dropped from 29(point something) % to 24.5% in the last 5 weeks. I think my goal will be somewhere around 20-22%, which is about right for my age, I think.

My goal this week is to try and lose 1/2 lb.

qtiekiki

Ok I am back. I am still very much out of it. I weighed in at 110lbs yesterday, so no changes. Lots of food while we were in Vegas. At least, we did lots of walking. DD made me carry her quite a bit, so I guess that's my weight training. LOL.

kripley - New week for both of us. We can do it. It's never easy losing our loved ones.

rkeaton - 5% body fat lost in 5 weeks is great.

And here's my answers for the "get to know you" questions.

Who was your favorite celebrity as a child?
Leonardo DiCaprio
What type of pets do you have?
Cocker Spaniel mix - it's DH's family dog. I am not the primary caretaker.
What is your favorite color?
Turquoise
What is most memorable about your high school years?
Our whole AP Physics class skipped class together.
What word describes you best?
Easygoing
What is your greatest accomplishment?
My kids
What drives you every day?
Being the best that I can be, in all aspects of life.
What is your favorite food?
Sushi, chocolate
Where do you want to retire?
Haven't thought about this... I just assume that I will retire where I am now.
What is your business goal this year?
To be more organized.
Where do you like to vacation?
Beach
Who do you admire?
Jerry - my ex-coworker's husband who I adopted as my grandpa. He is a brilliant man.
What is your mission?
To have a strong family, to raise well-adjusted confident children, to live a fulfilled life.
If you were invisible, where would you go?
My coworker's bf's house/work, so I can find out for her if he is cheating. She vents to me daily about him texting other girls. It's silly, but I want to find out because I think she deserves so much better.
What traits in others are you attracted to?
intelligence, sense of humor
What is the kindest thing anyone has done for you?
My 70 something ex-coworker (who I now call grandma) and her husband gifted me $1,000 when I was in college. It's not the money, but the fact that they treated me as their own kid.
How do you want to be remembered?
As someone who is full of life.
What would you do with a million dollars?
Save for kids' college funds
If you were on an island, who would you want to be with? Why?
My husband. He is my love, my best friend. I can't imagine life without him.
You have a 10 minute speech to give at a high school, what is it about?
Finding yourself.

Thanks for your support guys! Here's our chart for week 3.

WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, 8/1 Weigh-In



Way to go, Groups 3 & 4!! You've had two weeks of all members checking in, and your numbers are showing the difference!

One member suggested listing "% of weight loss" per group. When I ran the numbers, I didn't feel they were a good reflection of the weight lost, as some members only have to lose a very small percentage of their current weight to get to their goal weights while others have to lose a much larger percentage. Let's just keep on tracking "% to GW." Hopefully, some groups will make it to the GW's before the challenge ends!

Please take a minute to review the following goal weights and percentages for your team listed below. I received these numbers from either the original "Who Wants to Be a Hot Mom" posting or from your group posting. This "Goal Weight" is the weight you would like to be on December 31, 2011 -- the official end of this challenge. If your goal weights are not accurate, then the "% to GW" column will not reflect your progress. For example, members with "% to GW" of 8.69% or higher as of today are on track to reach their group goal weights by December 31.



If you are below 8.69%, don't sweat it! You still have 21 weeks to get to your GW! If you would like to make a change, just send me a message.

How are you ladies doing this week? I am working out everyday, but I feel more sluggish since I got back from our trip. Maybe because I have been eating too much. Need to get back to eating cleaner. Hope you are having a good week.

kripley1229

Okay, confession time...

I have eaten terribly today! We went to a buffet for lunch. I did great until I got to the desserts! I was then good at dinner, but just ate 3 cupcakes! Not the small ones either! I assume this was due to that time of the month, but I really hate it when I do this! I know tomorro's a new day, but today was just plain awful!!!!

Speaking of awful, tomorrow is weigh in day. I'm sure I haven' lost much if any due to water weight...

Sorry to be so down. I should be back to more myself tomorrow!

qtiekiki

Don't be so hard on yourself. It's just one day.

I didn't exercise yesterday because we went to our nephews' birthday party at the park. We kicked the soccer ball around, played some frisbee, and were at the playground. But nothing like a formal workout. Today I did 30DS Level 3, and parent/infant swim lesson on Sunday always make me feel like I worked out. I also ate a lot.

kripley1229

Well I was right about not losing weight, I actually gained. I weighed in at 120.4 this morning. Like I said yesterday, I'm sure it's just from extra water weight from my period. It is still annoying! Oh well!

I'm having a much better day today. P90X is going well. I started on phase 3 today. I did a workout that I haven't done since June. Oh my goodness! It's amazing just how much easier it was and how much more I was able to do! For example: The 1st week I was able to do 15 push ups on my knees and today I was able to do 30 on my toes! It was AWESOME! :bigsmile:

I go back to work next week. It'll be a big test to see if I can keep it up!

MaxandHenrysMom

I have days like that, too, where I eat some junk and don't workout; I think that's just part of the journey and it evens out. It's a new day and a new week.

I ended up having a good week. I weighed in 110.

I think two things played into it: 1. I added an additional day at the gym and did some running (something I have never done before, except maybe junior high- yikes!) and 2. the temperatures/humidity really dropped here and I think I had been really retaining water. So today's weigh in was probably the result of two weeks, rather than one, I think.

I hope everyone is off to a super new week. I like that we are supporting each other!

Rebekah

MaxandHenrysMom

Just wanted to check on you two and see how you are doing.......

kripley1229

I'm a little late in posting it, but here's where we stand for week 4



I'm doing much better this week than last! I was able to resist temptation of eating sweets last night! A HUGE victory! I've started on phase 3 of P90X and am seeing great results with how much stronger I have become! The workouts are so much easier now! I hope you guys are doing well too! :bigsmile:

kripley1229

I guess I'll have to resize it!

kripley1229

Let's try this again!

qtiekiki

I am so sorry. I forgot to post my Monday weigh-in. I was 109.8lbs.

It's harder this week to workout as DH is starting p90x. So we are alternating days when he exercises as soon as he gets home and I exercise after, and days when I exercise first. Our toddlers make it impossible for us to workout at the same time. But I am committed.

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




It's been an interesting week, ladies! Three groups gained weight this week. I guess we can take comfort in knowing we're not alone, but it's time to re-focus and remember that every day counts!

I'd like to give a special shout-out to Group 5, who only had 3 members weighing in, but they lost a total of 8.2 pounds! WAY TO GO! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Thanks for showing us how it's done.

Group 4 is also the leader of the pack. ALL members checked in this week, making them the ONLY group whose members have checked in every week since the challenge started. They also have the biggest numbers in total weight loss and % to GW. WAY TO GO!!! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I've decided to stop tracking Group 6, since no members have checked in since July. There also are a handful of other members who haven't checked in since week 1. If the group captains decide to stop tracking them, let me know, as those numbers are effecting your "% to GW" group numbers.

Let's go, Hot Moms!!

Hi guys. Sorry I'm letting the team down stat-wise. I think you guys should just cross me off the list.

I battled with an eating disorder for many years and had recovered, and this time was losing weight 'the healthy way' but unfortunately I have relapsed. I shouldn't be part of your group any more. Sorry for the inconvenience and good luck to all of you yummy mummies.

kripley1229

It's weigh in day again! I weighed in at 118.6 this morning! Yeah!
I will probably be a little MIA for a week or 2. Today is my 1st day back at work. Hope you guys are doing well!

MaxandHenrysMom

good job! And good luck going back to work. I still have about two weeks before I return to work.

I stayed the same this week: still 110lbs.

I'm just happy this week didn't set me back. I had my birthday and anniversary this week, plus camping trip. I thought for sure all the sweets and eating out would have seen a gain.

It's a new week....

qtiekiki

I am back up to 110.2lbs. My mother-in-law went on vacation, so I am playing SAHM this week. This weekend had been hard since there were family celebration and baby shower. Lots of food and no time to exercise. This week is a new week. I am going to get my workouts in during nap time since I have to cook dinner. MIL usually cook dinner for the whole family. Wish me luck.

Great job, Kim.

rkeaton - Happy Belated Birthday and Anniversary.

Let's DO this.
