    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:
    Hm60F.png

    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 #.)
    hp8bb.png

    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:
    grdIj.png

    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. :tongue: 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!!

    Happy Monday. My weight has stayed the same: 110lbs. I took a major cheat day yesterday and just feel sluggish today. Hope you are both off to a better start!

    Well, today's a new day!

    I've been doing well since going back to work. I've been having to get up way too early to work out. (4:45 this morning!) I know that I won't do it after school, so it's my only option! My husband is loving it! He's a morning person and I so am NOT! I only have 3 more weeks of P90X! I've already seen good results!

    This morning I weighed in at 117.8. I was a little disappointed, since I weighed 117.1 the other day, but it's slowly coming off. 2.8 more lbs!

    Kim - you are doing great.

    I didn't get much workouts last week. Today I weighed in at 110.6lbs. I am starting 30 days slim down over since I went a week without formal workouts. I did day 1 today.

    WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, Week 5 (8/22)

    Hello, Hot Moms!! Check out the weekly stats below.

    qhTOD.png

    Another interesting week! Sometimes we lose together, and we gain together.

    Here's a quick summary of the past 5 weeks.

    UdhQl.png

    We have fewer and fewer members reporting each week, and as a result, our weekly weigh-ins are suffering. We seem to have lost that Week 1 & Week 2 momentum, where each group saw BIG numbers. Now we're not even averaging a 1/2 lb per member weekly weight loss!

    pwL5w.png

    Many of us had end of the summer barbecues, as well as school start days for our kids. Life's been busy, and our schedules are changing. It's time to regroup and refocus!

    TQ2oo.png

    Let's make this week our new "Week 1." Jump in with the same GUNG HO you had 5 weeks ago!

    We can do this, HOT MOMS!!

    We are a pretty quiet group ... I hope you both are doing well. This time of year is just soooo busy.

    I weighed in at 109 today. I was pretty suprised as I have really slacked off, both on what I eat and on exercise. But mental work burns calories, too, right? My goal this week is to balance everything better.

    Have a great week!

    I agree on the being soooo busy! I was pretty bad when it comes to eating this weekend. We went out with friends on Friday and had a BBQ on Saturday and a pot luck on Sunday. Lots of high calorie foods! I weighed in at 118.8 this morning, so some of that food is catching up to me! LOL! Hopefully this next week will be better!

    WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, Week 6 (8/29)

    Hello, Hot Moms!! Check out the weekly stats below.

    Ta6jA.png

    We have lost over 200 pounds!!

    Here's a quick summary of the past 6 weeks. I re-did the numbers to account for all the late check-ins.

    LP1i5.png

    Way to knock it out of the park!! As a group, we lost more pounds this week than the previous 4 weigh-ins! This is going to make a HUGE difference in reaching our goal weights by New Year’s.

    Is anyone wondering what happened to Group 5? Their captain hasn’t checked in since August 1, and they only had a couple of members who checked in regularly. Their posts were fewer and coming days apart, and I was afraid we’d lose them. Group 7 “adopted” the active Group 5 members – :flowerforyou: many THANKS to Group 5's captain, wanna_be_fit!!:flowerforyou: And look what happened when the groups joined together!

    ep96k.png

    As a combined group, these ladies are losing more together than they were apart! And they are more active on their group postings as well. Having a larger active group can make a big difference. If you want to see how the other groups are doing, then check out their threads below.

    Have a great week, Hot Moms!!

    Well, didn't do so hot last week...I weighed in at 122 this morning! True some of it is water weight from that time of the month, but I ate like a pig last week! Lots of cake! Time to get my butt back in gear! It's my last week of P90X!

    Hope you ladies are doing well!
  • MaxandHenrysMom
    MaxandHenrysMom Posts: 59 Member
    Congrats on almost getting through P90X!

    This was a rough week for me, too. I get pretty stressed when a semester begins and I didn't make the best food choices. I stayed within my goal, but dragged at the gym today. I went back up to 110. (Also TOM for me).

    Let's hope a better week :)

    WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, Week 7 (9/5)

    Hello, Hot Moms!! Check out the weekly stats below.

    RtiTg.png

    Here's a quick summary of the past 7 weeks.

    PC8ns.png

    After 7 weeks, we have a solid number of moms checking in.

    Did any of you realize that we crossed the quarter mark on August 29th? We are more than 25% through this challenge!! The time is flying fast! In order to reach our goal weights, we need to remember that EVERY DAY counts. Right now, there are 115 days left in this challenge. Let’s keep moving and losing!

    Next week, on our 8-week mark, I’ll run another individual assessment to see how many members are on track to reach their December 31st goal weights.

    Have a great week, Hot Moms!!

    Good Morning..... This morning I am back to 109.

    It feels like I've stalled some -- both in the amount of workouts I am doing and some of my food choices. In part, it's going back to work, and in part, 109 feels like a pretty good weight, though I still want to be toner. I'm going to still try and reach my goal of 107, but I have upped my calories to maintenance. I feel like juggling work and my twins, I need the extra food, and who knows, maybe I'll workout stronger and lose those last 2 lbs.

    I hope your still in this with me, too.

    Have a great week!

    I'm kind of in the same boat...I finished P90X yesterday and feel like I'm in a pretty good place weight wize. (Although I weighed in at 120 this morning. Mondays are not good weigh in days for me!) I am so used to burning 450 calories per workout that I don't feel like the 150 calories added from burn doing other things is cutting it! I've been adding in some extra!

    Don't worry, I'm still here!:wink:

    WHO WANTS TO BE A HOT MOM? - GROUP RESULTS, Week 8 (9/12)

    Hello, Hot Moms!! Check out the weekly stats below.

    DUUxk.png

    Here's a quick summary of the past 8 weeks.

    Dw320.png

    Holy crap. Did we just collectively lose only 5.9 lbs this week?! 39 members weighing in, and only 5.9 lbs?! Time for a progress report!!

    Below, you will find our latest progress chart. I’ve calculated everyone’s “% to GW.” As of today, if you want to reach your goal weight, you will need to have a 34% or higher. To make it even more fun, I calculated your estimated weight loss by 12/31 and also your estimated weight on 12/31. These calculations are based on your total weight loss for the past 8 weeks, and I think you’ll find them very interesting.

    jLuB8.png

    CONGRATS to everyone in the green! Let’s take a moment to recognize the members who are already over half-way to their GW’s:
    :flowerforyou: LPC020409 in Group 4
    :flowerforyou: Cherilea in Group 7
    :flowerforyou: MacksMama in Group 8
    :flowerforyou: Swimmom2 in Group 9
    :flowerforyou: And rkeaton360 in Group 10
    You ladies rock!! Thanks for showing us how it’s done!

    :ohwell: [SIGH]...I’m still in the white group. But I’m SO CLOSE to getting in the yellow group! I’m tempted to change my 12/31 goal weight, but according to my favorite iPod app, “Target WEIGHT for Adults,” if I continue to lose weight at the same rate I lost for the past 2 weeks, I will reach by goal weight by 12/18/2011. There’s still hope for me! So….my GW stays the same for now. I’ll see what the next 4-week progress report says.

    FYI - The next progress report will be posted the week of October 10, just DAYS after our half-way mark. It’s time to kick our weight loss in to high gear!

    Have a great week, Hot Moms!!

    I weighed in at 123 this morning. I know I didn't eat the best last week, but there's no way that I gained 5 pounds! Mondays really are not a good weigh in day!!!! :)

    On the upside I ran 6.33 miles on Saturday! That is the most I've ever run at one time! I used to hate running, but I think I might actually like it now. It gives me a chance to zone out and be alone with my thoughts! :)
  • MaxandHenrysMom
    MaxandHenrysMom Posts: 59 Member
    That's a great run! I keep thinking I'd like to start running. I think I hold off because I'm self conscious about running really slow and looking silly. Lame, I know.

    Maybe weigh yourself tomorrow?

    I weighed in at 110lb. I didn't get any workouts in all week. The entire house is sick with colds/flus. I've eaten junk, either craving comfort foods, or just too tired taking care of the boys. I think we're over the worst of it, so I hope to make it to bootcamp on Thursday, even if I take it really easy.

    Have a great week!
  • kripley1229
    kripley1229 Posts: 97
    As I suspected, I weighed in at 120 this morning. Still not great, but much better! :smile:

    I wouldn't worry about looking silly. I run really slow. I started out at a 12 minute mile and have slowly worked my way up to about 10 1/2 minute mile.

    So sorry to hear about your boys! I know what you mean about being too tired after taking care of the kids. It's just so much easier to eat junk! Good luck to you this week!

    I stopped tracking qtiekiki, as she hasn't reported her weight for the past 4 weeks. That leaves just the 2 of you! If qtiekiki starts reporting again, I can add her back in, no problems.

    Hi. I'm not sure if there are plans to start another group when this one wraps up, but I often see new groups like this forming. Good luck on your weightloss/healthy eating journey. Feel free to add me to your friends list!

    Whoops! Forgot to check in yesterday. This morning I weighed in at 110 so no change here. I did get some workouts in this week, but I've been pretty lax about my eating -- too much sugar-- and realize that sugar is my biggest problem. This week my goal is to really cut back again on it like I did this summer when I first began trying to get healthy. I just seem to crave it to get through the day.

    Hope you are having a good week!

    I purposefully didn't check in yesterday. I'm boycotting Monday weighins! LOL! this morning I weighed 118.8, so I gained. I too am having a problem with sugar. Each weekend I'm bombarded with sweets at football parties! (That and alcohol) I vow to only have 2 sweet treats and no alcohol this weekend! Good luck to you!
