Hot Mom (Closed group)-Mommies in Control

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

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.

Have a great time 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!!

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

To be more organized.

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.

Finding yourself.

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.
