"Who Wants to Be a Hot Mom " Group 7

Heather, I really could just hug you right now, thanks! I think that'll work out just perfect. I don't want to hurt the group numbers with unreal gains.

Happy to say swelling is down this morning to 1/4-1/2" in previously reported areas an down to 1 measly # this morning (154.6, 2.6 is assets) and ToM is a knockin But yesterday coulda just been a really bad day and today a really great day. This swelling thing is SO unpredictable. When it gets more consistent and I can stop "accounting" for my implants without hurting numbers, I'll jump back in

Thanks ladies, you are all so wonderful! I wish you all the best!

Hey ladies, hope you're having a good Wednesday! I'm a little under the weather but trying to make it through the day.

Izzie--I KNEW that the water weight would drop off. Keep an eye on it, but I'll bet you'll be ready to "officiall" get back in on the weigh-in's next week.

Just wanted to give you a head's up that the Helen (overall challenege leader who posts the fabulous charts on our thread) mentioned to me that Group 5 has dwindled to 3 active members. I've invited them to join our thread since I'm not offiicially weighing in, and Izzie is temporarily out. Helen and I both thought that the more support we can all offer each other, the better!! So if you notice 3 newbies posting on our thread that is why, and please welcome them!!

Welcome Jayne!!! We're happy to have you! We try to post our weigh-in sometime between Friday and Sunday each week so that I can update our chart and post it on Monday or Tuesday. Congrats on your loss so far, and keep up the great work!!!

Welcome Jayne!!! 7lbs in 5wks is ouststanding progress! So proud of you =D Glad to have you on the team!

i weighed myself this am @ home its 150.2 BUT the scale @ work said 146! AHHHH! my home scale is digital (on even tile) and my work scale is old fashioned with the line that moves like a hand on a clock (on even tile) so now im not too sure what my weight really is!

I'd probably stick with whatever scale you use on a regular basis. I remember when I had one of the old scales I could make it go up or down by a few pounds, just depending on how I shifted my weight.

Hi Heather and the rest of Group 7!! Thank you for the invitation to join your thread. It has been rather quiet over in Group 5. My name is Tammy. I am a 43 year old married mother of two daughters who will be 13 and 15 next week. I have lost 10 pounds since beginning the Hot Moms Challenge and a total of 47 since beginning my journey to healthier living in Jan. 2010. I had lost about 56 total in 2010, but broke my tailbone last November and the inactivity caused me to creep up again, but I am back on track and it is coming off again. My 25th high school reunion is in October, so I have two months to get down as close to my goal as I can. I would love to knock their socks off when I walk into that room...I was thin in high school, so I would like to get the old me back as much as possible. I am also a runner, so would love to know if there are other runners in the group. It is still relatively new to me...just started in 2010...ran my first 5K in May 2010, but kept going and building and just ran my 4th half marathon this past Sunday. I am slow, but for me the finish line is the goal, and I still amaze myself that I can do it. Well, there is a bit about me...looking forward to getting to know you all...friend me if you would like. Thank you, Tammy

Tammy and Jayne we're so happy that you've joined us!!! :bigsmile: Hope that your other group member(s) decide to come on over. There are several of us pretty active on this thread, so hopefully we can all help to support each other.

My weigh in today is 148.3, so I'm down about 0.9 lbs since last week. The nausea has kicked in pretty bad. Fortunately I feel okay in the morning, but around 2pm it hits me and sticks with me until bedtime. My poor hubby has no idea what to plan for dinner because there's no way to know what will make me want to puke!

Remember to get your weights in by Sunday or early Monday at the latest so that I can update our pretty chart!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend. I was on call last weekend, so after today I have worked 12 days straight and am wiped out. Coming down with a cold this week and my "afternoon" sickness kicking in has made it even worse! I plan to try to get a little exercise in this weekend but mostly just CHILL!!!!

Good Morning Group 7!!! My name is Cherrie and I am/was part of Group 5. I really want to thank you for your invite and I would like to take you up on it! I would like to tell you a little about myself first.....

I am 45 yrs old and live in Iowa with my 4 boys (19, 17, 13, & 9) and my wonderful husband of 21 years. I started this journey because I wanted to stay one step ahead of my thyroid disease (hypothyroidism) and the high blood pressure that runs in my family. I proved to myself that I CAN lose weight with thyroid disease and that is HUGE!

And since today is my weigh in day, I thought I would share that as well. Just as well add it to the stats! lol My loss, today, was 2.4 lbs! That is a total of 8 lbs lost since starting Hot Moms! Ok, then, I look forward to getting to know you all! Have a great day!

Welcome Cherrie!! We're happy to have you! Congrats on the weight loss so far. You ladies from Group 5 have majorly been kicking butt!!!

I'll add Jayne, Tammy and Cherrie to our weigh in charts. Ladies--can you guys supply me with a few things:
1. Initial weight
2. Goal weight
3. Intermediate weight (if you had that for a goal, not sure the significance but it's in the chart)
4. Weight from last week
5. Weigh from this week.

Thanks ladies, and have a great day!!
