I'm counting five-haha-don't forget yourself:) But yes, sadly we are losing some members. Wonder how the rest of the groups are doing with that? Summer is ending and it is getting crazy! Have a good day my random HOT moms (oh yes we are!).0

I'm still here! Was out of town helping my grandparents move last week. They live out in the middle of nowhere, couldn't even get cell service out there. Ugh!
So I'm really not down as much as I would like to be, this morning when I weighed I was at 188.8, still a loss, just not as quickly as I'd liked or hoped.0 -
Hi Ladies!! just a happy thing for me and TMI for you. lol!! I tried on a nightie I got at my bridal shower over 4 years ago, that didn't fit in the first place. Well it fits and its too big in the chest region. lol! :blushing: :bigsmile: :laugh: Maybe I will actually wear it for the hubs. lol! I did tell the hubs that when I lost all my weight I want to lose that I will let him pick out all new underwear and bras for me. he is always complaining about my granny panties and non matching bras. lol!0

welcome back!!!0 -
Aloha all you rambling random hot moms! Hopefully you are doing well. I have become extremely short on motivation lately. I need to find it again. I have even slacked off on my book (the beck diet solution) Time to pick it up and read again! For now I am going to get some water...how have you done on that today?0

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 #.)
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:
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.
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!!

You, Helen-are simply amazing!! Thank you so much for taking the time to provide the charts to all the groups-wow. Reading it this morning just provided a little inspiration in the "stay with it" department for me:) I have been reluctant this morning to plan my new lifting routine to do during or directly after I am on the elliptical or stationary bike. I have been stressing about planning for school to start-I revamped my teaching plan and it includes lab activities 2x a week-so I have to plan 6 labs per week for my sciences classes. (Add to that, I teach middle schoolers-haha!)
So, we are all stressing the importance of planning our eating and exercise on top of our family and work responsibilities-wow, maybe we should have named our group Super Duper We Do It All and Take Care of Ourselves Moms
Whew-too much of a mouthful. Anyway--thanks for the inspiration!!! I am trying to not look at the scale as much Daisy:) I am drinking TONS of water. I haven't been over calories, but not eating as well as I was, so trying to focus on that. Going to try and get the Man on board with helping me pack the boys' lunches to save $ and get them eating healthier than school lunch. I practice my 7th grade volleyball girls at 6:30 a.m., so he gets the boys to school. We both work in the same building (our school is K-12), so it is nice to catch a glimpse of them some days:) My poor kids will have to have their mom for three years and dad for two in h.s. Builds character, right? Here I am rambling on and on again when what I should be doing is planning some lab activities!
Make it a great day all!!! Our group rocks!0 -
Great job Koeniginhla on the charts!! You're the best!
I am chopping off my hair this weekend. as part of my birthday and what I have accomplishied so far on my weight loss. I'm not getting it colored after all, my stylist doesn't have time too that day. oh well maybe in a few weeks...
I don't think I will be down to 175lb by Wednesday(24th) like I wanted to be. but I will be close. 3lbs is a lot to lose in one week, since my average is down now. I should be with in 2lbs of it I think. I may suprise myself, who knows. but I doubt it, since the hubs is taking me out for my birthday Friday. I guess I will cherish 28 because its 2 years closer to 30....0 -
Today was a rest day of sorts, I did a lot of cleaning but skipped the bike ride today. Still have calories for my evening snack while I veg out on Star Trek:TNG < there's that dork again! I also ended up on the scale this morning for whatever reason and I was down a pound from yesterday! Hopefully that will give me a good start on the week.
I heard from Jalapenos, she is out of town also and should check in next week.
My daughter is helping me work on my simple math~
Grats on the NSV Sugar! I might have to get me some lingerie to shrink into. How long is your hair? Mine is about 2 inches below the waist of most my pants. I was thinking about cutting it short when I get close to my goal... and dying it in stripes or something fun ya know lol. Even if you don't hit 175 "on time", you will be closer than you were last month :drinker: I remember 28... it was fun, I was still single back then and traveling and partying and thin.. well fit anyway lol
@Deb~ sometimes it takes going back to the beginning to find where or why you lost motivation. From what I saw of your Beck post, it seems an ideal place to find it. I have had at least 9 glasses of water a day, I reached 13 one day. Still not up to my 15 :grumble:
@Helen~ once again, great job on the charts. It's just so revealing and makes it fun and competitive. While I'm not quite where I wanted to be at this point, I am gonna keep my goals intact.
@Muss~ I would do strength after cardio. I remember reading somewhere that your heartrate would stay elevated through the strength and burn fat cause you are building muscle or something like that. Either way, if it stays elevated you are gonna burn more calories right? Of course, on days you are more pressed for time combining the workouts would help ya out. I find it interesting that as a teacher, you consider a packed lunch healthier than the hot meal the schools provide. In the case of our district, I agree.
OK! I got it, I really need to post more often or something~

Where has this week gone?! I can't believe it's Thursday already. I finally got out of the house on Tuesday and Wednesday for school shopping. I just went to 2 stores on both days, and the outings wiped me out!! I'm only 37; why is strep kicking my butt so hard? I haven't worked out in 9 days, and I'm tired of giving my body a break. I'm going to do an easy elliptical workout within the hour. Maybe only 30 minutes, and keeping my heart rate below 75%.
My poor kids have basically been stuck at home since Friday, with only the store outings the past 2 days, and they're so bored and have resorted to teasing and screaming every second they get. So today's afternoon outing will be to go to the local bounce house arena, where they can run around and bounce as long as they want, while I sit and take it easy. This way, the kids get to be active, and I won't be taxing my body too much after this morning's workout.
And lots of water! I did great on Monday -- 120 ounces! -- but I didn't even get in 60 ounces on Tuesday and Wednesday.
And back to tracking calories! I fell off that wagon 9 days ago, too. Time to get back on again.
Thanks for the positive feedback on the charts! It's been fun tracking everyone.0 -
@Helen-I hope you feel better soon. The bounce house sounds great-my two boys are also resorting to nit picking at each other. School will be a welcome break. My oldest gets to play tackle football this year-so life is so good around here on that note.
Did get my new lifts planned, and happy that I have some new muscles sore today (obliques and legs) oh yea. I hope you all are doing great. My water consumption has been good-but I am eating pizza tonight-I know, bad, but I am going to enjoy every bite. AND NOT FEEL GUILTY! 0 -
Hahaha!!!! I had pizza for dinner too!!
I worked out today for the first time in 9 days. YAY! Just an easy elliptical workout -- didn't want to push myself too hard while I'm still on penicillin for strep. And it felt SOOOOO good!
After dinner, I put in my calories and realized I was about 300 calories over my limit (thanks a lot, pizza!), and I only had 9 glasses of water. I was aiming for 15 today, so I was a bit disappointed. Then I said, "The day ain't over yet!" So I strapped on my heart rate monitor and told myself to clean, clean, clean the house until I hit 300 calories. I didn't even have to do the whole house -- just the kitchen. I scrubbed it from floor to ceiling. It only took 45 minutes, and I burned 373 calories! I even got in 4 more glasses of water. So I ended the day under my calorie limit after all. Man, wish I could be this productive every day, right?0 -
Well I weighed in this morning, since this weekend will be a bad weekend. I am at 176.6lbs. I will weight again Monday and on Wedneday as well. Just to see if I made my birthday goal. Not too bad only being .4lbs off of my bday goal. I really thought I would be 2lbs over. Thank you Jillian Micheals!!! One more day until level 2, Since we are going to the city tonight, I doubt I get todays workout in, but I will make it up with all the walking I will be doing.
have a great weekened everyone!!0 -
So my scale up and died. Third one in six months!! This is the second replacement the company sent me. I am done with digital for awhile. I just bought a cheap dial one, I dont need it down to a decimal any way as long as it is going down that's what matters right?? Just so frustrating!!
Mama you are right. I need to go back to the beginning I realized that I am really liking my thoughts that I don't care and don't want to give them up. If I don't care then I have tons of excuses. Keeping the house and losing weight just don't matter if I don't care. I have been saying oh well too often to the wrong things. I am going to make a board like the one in this video and put it where I will see it daily. http://eatcleandiet.com/the_kitchen_table/story/post.aspx?id=17017 Then I will remember. What other things do you do to maintain your motivation?0 -
Oh and helen you are amazing. Thanks for tracking everything. It's fun to see what's happening!0

Tried to take the new pup for a short walk tonight and ended up jogging back after 1/4 mile (if that)-holy shiz whiz-the mosquitoes were attacking me!!! The first time I looked down I yelped out loud-there were like 15 on my calf. Needless to say, that ended the walk. Sorry pup. Should have lifted and elliptical today, but spent the day with my boys and absolutely killed the eating when I had a mini bacon burger at Five Guys Burger and Fries. *Sigh*0
-
So was the mini burger something different than what you would have normally ordered? I probably normally would have the combo, fries and drink and large burger. Congratulations on making the small changes. They make all the difference!0

Thought I would share this from jonathon Roche. Just what I needed today.
No Excuses Quote of the Day!
“It is a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept
anything but the best, you very often get it.”
– W. Somerset Maugham
Don't sabotage your results by taking weekends off!
The weekend represents over 1/3 (36%) of your week.
So if you work hard during the week to nail your
workouts and watch your nutrition and then slack off
all weekend, you end up not getting very far.
It is like taking 3 steps forward during the week and
then taking 2 or 3 steps back each weekend and the
result is no or minimum results.
Don’t give yourself the “It’s the weekend!” excuse to blow off your workouts and to eat badly.
I am not telling you to be too serious and not enjoy yourself. But I am telling you to stay “in the game” on the weekends.
You are doing too much quality work during the week to let it slip away each weekend.
Today is a new day so make this weekend the first weekend that does not set you back. No Excuses!
Today’s Fitness Mission: The Family Fun Workout!
Plan something active and fun with your kids, spouse or a friend - go for a walk, bike ride, hike, clean the garage, play tag, etc.0 -
I like! It is so true about how we can kill all of our hard work in one weekend. I finally had a really good day. Ate great, exercised and enjoyed an excellent deep tissue massage to reward myself for stickin with the weight training. Hope you all are having a great weekend!0

I had a "repeat" of Thursday night. Found I was over my calorie limit by 617. (Thanks a lot, Fast Food.) So I came home, strapped on my heart rate monitor, and told myself to clean, clean, clean until I burned those extra calories. I burned 640 calories in 84 minutes of cleaning, so I finally get to call it a day.
I'm kind of liking my clean-n-burn catch-ups. Seems to be helping, too. I started the week at 197.0, went up to 199.2 by Thursday morning weigh-in, and I was down to 196.4 this morning. I'm hoping I can hit 195 by Monday!
Maybe one of these days, I'll choose not to eat the calorie-rich fast food because I won't want to spend 45-90 minutes doing clean-n-burn catch-ups after dinner. But until then, at least I'm proactively tracking my calories and making sure to burn off all the extras so that I can stay within my limits.0 -
Way to burn off those calories! You will get it figured out. It is hard not to eat fast food when the family is eating it. I am very thankful that we live out in the country with no restaurants around-or delivery. It is still a challenge though, kudos for making sure you burn off those calories. It will come together. I did walk the dogs for a mile last night and after a hard workout, gardening/watering outside for four hours AND a massage in the morning, my legs are feeling it still this morning. I also hope to be down a pound by tomorrow, hopefully more:) I was 179.4 this morning. So I will drink tons of water and watch what I eat today and hopefully not post a gain from last week. Sigh-this is hard when you are ten pounds away from goal! It goes down, then up, then down, etc... ugh. School starts this week though and I hope to really hit it and get back into the routine of eating well. Dinner will be my challenge, but I can do it!!!0

198.4
Gained 2 pounds. I don't know what to do. I know for a fact there is no way I overdid it by 7000 calories this week... not even 3500! Yes, I overdid it a little, but not like that! On Wednesday I peeked and was down to 194.6~ I don't know whether to give up or practice getting fat and see if I lose weight that way. I have no willpower. I been trying. But when my husband brought in the EL Fudge double stuffed last night... I ate 4 of them! Not terrible... but they were his, he sayd so, and I had my WhoNu?s. But I couldn't resist... so to keep myself off of them I ended up with a bowl of sweet cereal and left over dinner.... before I had to go to bed to stop the cravings.... and get this.... he didnt take them to work, they are sitting out on the counter. You would think he would get the hint after the chocolate incident Friday that made me actually cry! No matter... how could I possibly gain 4 pounds since Wednesday??? There's no freaking way. and now I'm sposed to be motivated to go do my workout when my daughter leaves in 20 minutes~0 -
I didn't weigh in this morning, I was running late. so last weigh in was Friday at 176.6lbs.0
-
So, I managed to get through my workout ~ yay~
Called my friend down the street that keeps saying she wants to work out with me, but getting our times together is a nightmare... and she told me I couldn't give up, so I did it
Afterward, I weighed again cause I forgot to tell the scale to save today's weight, and now it says 197.4... which is still up 1.4, but looks a little better... I don't know. Not gonna get discouraged, or at least try not to.
If I'm trying, I'm making progress!~0 -
I weighed in this morning at 195.6 pounds. I know I have been slacking terrible and I only ever did the first day of the beck diet soluction so I need to get back on track. I mentioned needing to run to the convenience store here in town to my fiance and he was like we'll walk down when I get back. If we actually walk it, it will be about a mile or so of a walk. Well see how things go.0
-
Who has Facebook and wants to be friends on there as well?0
-
Checking in at 195.8 this week. Nice to be going down again!0
-
Ugh-I am not making much progress girls! I need to try harder. Kinda glad school is back in...keeps me busy and on an eating schedule-plus, I am up walking around ALL day-between teaching and coaching. I will get 170 by the end of the year!!! So, weigh in today is 179.4. Grrr... off to drink my water.0
-
lol we shoulda went with the up and down moms!~
waiting on a couple more. Just checking in, cause I'm avoiding my Netflix. Everytime I turn it on, my off button gets pushed!
My daughter seems to think its my job to clean her room, or at the very least help her clean it. I am right that it's her job right? She's 7....
I think imma do another workout, just cardio later. Jillian Michael's is tough and all but I want more cardio. Maybe I will do a short video next time the cookies call my name? A dance one.... so the kids think it's fun... and they might let me do it
The 30 day shred... did one on Friday, got sore as hell all weekend. And did day one today. I am going to attempt an everyday date with her. In the morning, between kids. Today could be day two, except I just did it Friday to maybe minimize the pain for the next week lol, we will see how that works out!~ Either way, she is gonna be my reason not to go back to sleep for an hour. My something to do between getting girl to school and boy waking up. My every day I'm gonna freaking do this when nobody can stop me! lol ya!
The diet will get better as my attitude is uplifted from all the wonderful exercise endorphins I will be pumping into me each morning. Right?? It makes sense, I think. Exercise is supposed to increase your mood, and since I eat depending on my mood...woohoo,
yea, check-in, ramble for a bit, realize my insanity and apologize. LOL
Brat~ Love that your hubby is suggesting some together activity!
They don't know it, but the support is how we know we are loved 
Sugar~ I am so on Facebook all the dang time... too much really. But I don't have it connected with MFP anymore. Was driving some friends crazy, even made a dear one leave me :frown: My name is Daisy Link though~0
