    Captain, awesome job!

    Just in case you didn't get the Captain's Kit:

    Captain Kit
    +++++++++
    Yes if your name is highlighted you are a captain. Please recruit your Moms and start your thread I will send you the Template Files so it can be easier for you to put it together and add new numbers like IG and FG. If there is more than one name highlighted, great! you got more help ;) one can do the tables and the other can upload motivational pictures for the group. Emoticons are nice too ;)


    I will give you the Word documents and links so you can do it ok? I hope is fine.

    Sample of one group List : You can make your own list based on this template
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/x4h1a1

    The Whole Team, arranged by similar weight per group.
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/m447fz

    Both word document

    And the images, site to store your images and get the codes:
    1st, make your account at
    http://imgur.com//
    and start uploading your favorites and most motivational images to paste in your posts.

    Upload motivational pictures so you can support your team and please teach them all how to do it.
    Just copy the IMG code for forums and replace the IMG capitals by img lower case , and paste it in your posts.



    For the personalized Tables of the group I just use Paint (basic program in windows) just copy from word
    with CTRL + Print and paste it to Paint
    Then crop it and make it so it can fit in your thread.
    Last, upload it to imgur website and get your code. it's easy. don't forget to change the IMG for img.

    I also use Photoshop for personalized figures like the Logo of Hot Moms with the 2 kids.
    In the next 9 weeks I will be very busy studying for an important exam, so I wont have time to spare. Now I am in group 7 and plan to stick to my group. Please Captains, help your Moms with any guidance they might need.

    Thank you!

    Chari.

    Yay!!! Group 10!!! Very excited to be here. Hopefully everyone will get on this thread soon.

    Let's get to know each other.

    I am 31. My daughter will be 3 at the end of the month, and my son is 18 months. I lost weight after my pregnancies fairly quickly, but I am flabby. I have a belly pooch/muffin top, my arms and legs are fairly weak with no muscle tones. So about a month ago, I decided it was time to get in shape. I started the 30DS, and my ankles swelled up toward the middle of level 1. I kept going, despite the swollen ankles, and I was having a hard time walking because of soreness and pain. I took a couple days break after 10 days of level 1, and then started level 2. The swelling went away in a few days, and I haven't had any problems since. My DH reminded me that I haven't exercised since my college years. The whole swollen ankles thing just reinforces how important it is to stay in shape.

    My goal is to be strong and healthy. I am not focusing on the scale so much because I know that I can be "skinny" on the scale and still be out of shape.

    Currently I am trying to eat 1480 calories. Last week, I went over quite a bit when we were on vacation. I try to eat all the calories, and I prefer to be a little bit over than under because I feel more achy when I am under. I am on Day 7 Level 3 of 30DS today. 3 more days, then onto Brazil Butt Lift.

    Hi everyone! I like that we have a group and can help motivate each other. Here is a little about me so we can get to know each other....

    I'll be 42 next month and mom to twin 2 1/2 year old boys. I've never really had to watch my weight. Even after having them I lost all the weight pretty fast nursing and sleepless nights :) But I do want to be in shape and healthy long-term for them, and to try and tone up my stomach, though I worry that might not happen completely -- they were both good sized babies! I'm off all summer (I teach full-time at a local college) and so I know I need to put the hard work in now before life gets busy again, balancing home and work.

    I started eating better and joined a gym and a bootcamp style class with a trainer about a month ago.

    Looking forward to meeting everyone else!

    MerA822 and railebaby: The "Who wants to be a hot mom" groups are categorized by individual weight.

    Quote from the original thread:
    "I was also thinking, well at least I like the idea, to assign the moms by the amount of pounds we need to lose. I think we will feel more supported and can share our daily struggle without feeling the heavy of the group, does it make sense? I see some moms just need to lose 5 Lbs :? and I need to lose 40, so, I want to be with some Moms that are struggling like me to lose lots of weight."

    It looks like our group (group 10) is made up of moms weighing under 125. I don't mind you wanting to join our group, but you might feel more comfortable in another group. We all signed up with a deadline of July 18th, although the creator of the whole thing said that it is up to the group captains whether or not they allow more members to join their group. :smile:

    Well, it looks like everyone from our group has checked in. We are losing mjboswell since she was placed in groups 9 and 10, so that leaves us with only 4 members. What hot mama name would we like to use?

    Just did day 7 of 30DS level 3. Calorie-wise, I am doing ok, but food choice wasn't great as I had cheeseburger w/o buns, some fries and some coke. My protein is a bit low today. Off to join the kids and hubby in the backyard to play. That's added calories burned, right? Hope you ladies are doing well.

    I'm doing P90X, day 38. My food choices weren't the best either! I had pizza for dinner, but only 1 piece. In the past I probably would've had 3! All that matters in the long run is that we do our best! Don't get down on yourself for an off day!

    Isn't it nice to be able to find those calories burned by doing something that we would do anyway!

    I didn't get much chance to think about this today. (I have church on Wed nights) I like the 1st 3 that you gave the best, but I would change it to bootyful :tongue:

    Hello!

    I'm Aimie, mum to five-year-old Freya.

    I have 23 lbs left to lose before I reach my Ultimate goal weight but haven't lost anything in over a week.

    Stick with it! Sometimes I have off weeks too. I was upset last week when I gained a pound instead of losing!

    I like the first name, but that just might be because yesterday I did not feel in control of anything with two boys who drove me bonkers in the heat! I'm from Buffalo, NY and we are just not used to near 90 degree weather (no A/C). I like the second name, too.

    I have bootcamp this morning. Have a great day everyone!

    I've had an awful day today! Can I use being stressed out as an excuse?!

    Here's a quote from Chandra from the original thread, just in case you didn't see it!



    Ok Future Hot Moms,

    We got all our groups started, every group has a thread so please if you haven't yet, check your team's thread, start posting and supporting each other in your Team.

    Now, let's really commit to reach our goals. This is not a comfortable zone, some sacrifices will be done, like:

    Working out every day even if you don't feel like it

    Meals: You have to control yourself, enjoy your meals but try to keep it under your daily calories. No daily binges please

    Water: this the tough one for me Oh boy! but I will try hard every single day. For the sake of my kidneys and for weight loss purposes too

    Keep a Journal: Keeping in touch with your weight loss buddies from your Hot Moms Group will sure be a great Support System and all the tools in this site, this is just great! I just discovered that the Food and Exercise section in here rocks! Oh how I love this site!!!!

    Well, it's all set, from now on, every group is in charge of making the best of your team, I never expected to have 10 teams, this was just overwhelming and I am not counting with the Moms that still want to join new groups But maybe after I have some more time available I can make new teams. For now It's up to them. I have posted the captain's kit just in case anyone wants to make another time. I will be very busy until Sept 23. That's why I think is better to have 2 or 3 captains per group so we can have a break too.

    Ok Girls, Let's pray to God for a great journey , hopefully we can be rocking already by Christmas

    I just love this Quote...

    "The only one that can stop me is Me"... and I could say ... I can take her!"
    Let's do this Moms, for our families, for our kids, for ourselves. We want to look pretty, we want to be healthy and live a good life while we enjoy our bodies too. We can do this!!!!

    Aimie- Do you eat back your exercise calories? I didn't in the beginning, and stopped losing weight. I started eating back most of my exercise calories this week and have lost 1 1/2 lbs. Something to try...Stick with it! While you may not be losing weight, your body is changing from the exercise! (gaining muscle etc.)

    Hi ladies,

    I found this blog yesterday, and thought you might be interested: www.cleananddelicious.com

    I did my day 8 of 30DS level 3 yesterday. Today is day 9, and then one more day and I am done with the program. And then starting the next program. A group at work are considering training for a 5k run. The 5k run is actually on a day that I can't attend, but I might just train with them.

    I am logging into my journal everyday, drinking 8+ cups of water a day.

    Kim - how are doing with p90x? Seems tough when DH was doing it. I might try that once I feel stronger.
    rkeaton - how often is bootcamp? How is going for you?
    Aimie - hope today is better for you. We CAN do this.

    Sorry it's taken me so long to reply...I've had a crazy last 2 days.

    P90X is going pretty well. This is the 3rd time that I've started it. I usually get bored with it and quit. 90 days is a long time to stick with the same program! I'm determined this time to stick it out! It is pretty tough, but it gets" easier" each time I do each workout.

    I've heard good things about 30 day shread. I may try it next. My husband is doing couch 2 5K and we plan on running a 5K in a few weeks. It will be my first. I was jogging back in spring before it got way too hot! I'm hoping to be able to make it just on the P90X endurance.

    30 Day Shred is a good workout for 20 min. You might think it's not a good enough workout if you are used to longer ones. A couple of my friends felt that way. They still felt sore afterward. I finished 30DS. I was all set on doing Brazil Butt Lift, but now I am debating about starting Jillian's 30 days slim down program. I like toning I am getting with the 30DS, so the slim down would continue that. Or do I want something new to change it up. I guess I will decide tomorrow.

    Yay for determination. You are more than 1/3 of the way done with it. Good luck with the 5K.

    IT'S WEIGH IN DAY! Post you're weight and I will make an updated chart.Also, I don't have final goals for everyone. If you could also post those. Don't get discouraged if you don't see big changes on the scale! It's only been a week! We can do it!

    Also we never decided on a name. We can go with Mommies in Control if no one has any objections...

    Will weigh in after work today. I kind of fluctuate between 108-113lbs, and I am fine with that range. So I guess I will just make my goal weight 108lbs.

    Hi everyone!

    I weighed in this morning at 111.5

    My goal is 107lb, though that's pretty arbitrary. IA month ago my Fat % was just under 25; I'd like to get it under 20%. I'm due to be measured in another three weeks, so we'll see where I'm at then.

    I didn't workout this weekend except for some pushups and burpees. I went to bootcamp this morning. I have this class twice a week for an hour. It's the hardest and best thing I've done, and I know I am getting stronger. I had joined a gym in June and was going three times a week and just doing the elliptical and treadmill, but knew I wasn't getting anything out of it. One day one of the trainers came up to me and asked if I wanted to try out the bootcamp class that was going on, so I did. It was crazy, after just five minutes I was hyperventilating and sick. I think I joined the class then just out of sheer embarrassment at how out of shape I was. lol

    I'm glad to hear good things about the 30 Day Shred video; I'm thinking about getting this. Can you skip a day, or does it have to be consecutive. I'm beat after bootcamp; I don't think I could do the video these days, too.

    --Hope everyone is having a good day!
