Mommy Challenge Part 3: Hot Mummies for Halloween!!!

I am so in.
I am excited
My name is Ally. I have 3 kids. I work full time and devote a ton of time volunteering for our local Girl Scout organization.
Starting Weight is 191.
Goal Weight is 135.
Bigger goal is to maintain it. I have lost the weight so many times. I am ready to learn to eat right and exercise regularly. Instead of the frustration of "serious" dieting every couple years. I am on a good track. I have been working 6 days week. I actually miss working out on my rest days - like today.
Good Luck to everybody0 -
I would love to join the challenge:) I am a mother of two amazing kiddos. My son just turned 5 and my daughter is 21 month old. I just signed up on the site yesterday and am hoping I am able to loose 25lbs so that I can be at a healthy weight. My starting weight is 155. I would love to lose 8 lbs by Halloween and am hoping this is what will get me there:)0

Hello All! I hope you have room for one more! I am Mom to Abby, wife to Firefighter Steve and work at the local University. I am trying to reclaim my body after fighting cancer (twice). I just joined MFP and love the support and shared wisdom, I so look forward to being part of this challenge with all you wonderful women!
I haven't figured out all the fancy tickers yet, so here are all my stats:
Age = 45
CW = 166
GW = 148
Wishing everybody the best!0 -
Ok for all of the new mommies my name is Bridgette, I'm a full time working mom (accountant also) of a beautiful 9 month old baby girl. I've been married for 3 years this past May. I gained a ton of wait before getting pregnant mainly due to hormone treatments and then gained more being home for 3 months after the baby was born. Didn't gain anything from the actual pregnancy though. My goal weight is 145, for now. I'm at 164 right now so I can see the light at the end of tunnel!! :bigsmile:
Nice to see so many new faces!! Welcome!0 -
Hi! Can I join too? I'm Julia, 27 y.o. mom to 2 cuties and I work 2 part time jobs.
Lots of transitions in the past year and somehow I picked up 15 extra pounds along the way, though I've been exercising and eating healthy-ish (keyword: usually) the whole time. Go figure. I'm 5' tall so it really makes a difference.Consistency is what I'm really needing so I'm hoping you ladies will be able to help me out with that!
8 pounds would be a great start! And my birthday is right around Halloween so great time frame for me.
My goals are tracking daily, no night snacking, and exercise at least every other day- I'm into running, Zumba, yogalates and if all else fails, Jillian Michaels DVDs.
I'm also thinking about eating less carbs and sugar, but not sure how to do that since I live on Luna bars, grilled cheese and pasta!
Wishing success and results to all of you and looking forward to getting to know you guys.
Thanks for doing this Latoya!0 -
Julia- welcome, and Latoya has recently started a low carb low sugar diet. She may have some good tips for you to help you with that. It has really helped her to get out of a rut she was stuck in!
Welcome to all the new Mummies!!!

Hi to all the mommies.
A bit about myself. I'm married and mom of a 2.5 year old boy. I also work full-time which leaves me with not enogh time for anything. And exercise has been the last tin on my long to-do-list. Well, I'm ready to change this and slowly it's actually happening. However, this long wekend was not good for me at all.
So my starting weight is 165.8 pounds. I'm a slow looser (even without long weekends) so 8 pounds by Halloween will be a challenge for me.
Let's go, Hot Mommies!0 -

My goal is to lose the 8 lbs as everyone has said. My plan is to do 30day shred, and jog/walk three times per week. During this challenge I will also complete 2 5K's! soooo excited

Good morning mummies! Lets make it a good one! Yesterday was not a good food day..i ate whatever and drank whatever...im determined to get back on track today, so lotsa water and healthy eating today. I have not put a dent in my 2 hours of cardio this week yet so i plan to hit the pavement for 30 minutes today to start. Mimi, how is training going? I signed up for my 1st 5k on October 2nd as a motivational tool to get out there and exercise. Whats your plan for the day ladies? I have been aiming for less carbs and i go along in my journey im still pineing for cetain things so i am tweeking my diet, as i want this to be a lifestyle change. So i have added back milk, which is not used alot in low carb world, and i also am having bread on occasion (whole wheat) as i love sandwiches. Although i want to cut back on carbs, i dont want to cut them completely as that is not realistic fom me personally. Lets do this mummies!!

Well I am off to a good start so far. I did JM 30DS yesterday and I think that I am going to try and follow through with that for the next 30 days plus add in some Turbo Fire when the mood strikes. I am so excited to see how many ladies joined. It is nice to get to know all of you and if any of you want to add me as a friend, feel free!!! Yesterday was not the best day food wise but I still came in under my calorie goal so all in all I can live with that!
Thanks, Latoya for getting this thing going. Good luck MUMMIES:flowerforyou: !

Any of you who have started the 30 day shred in the last few days, feel free to join in on the group i have going. It's called Labor Day Shredders. If we are buddies in both groups that will really help us to stay motivated!!! 0

Is it too late to join? I am Heather from a little town called Carriere, MS. I am a single mom of a beautiful 6 year old daughter. My starting weight is 240lbs just recently lost 8 lbs since I have started MFP. I hope I am not too late....I am starting the JM 30 day shred today so I am sure to get the 2 hrs of cardio in this week. My personal goal is to just continue to eat right and stay under my calorie intake and continue to lose this yucky weight....0

I still want to join you too! I forgot to tell you my starting weight though- 205 lbs- I would love to get under 200- my goal weight is about 150. I have 34 min of cardio in so far this week- and I too ate whatever and drank whatever yesterday evening for a holiday get together- but I'm excited to join you if I still can. 0

Hey Krysten - might join you. I've already done one round but I want to go for another round on level 2 (only did level 1 before).0 -
Bridgette, that would be awesome! The more the better!0

Today's my first day logging...:noway: what an eye-opener it has been! There are lots of things I need to tweak about my diet but I am going to start slow with small goals each week. Fruits and veggies are where I'm lacking, so for the rest of the week my goal will be to have at least one fruit and one veggie per day. I went to the gym and did 30 mins on the elliptical, plus 20 situps and pushups (I'll be voluntarily going back to "bootcamp" in two weeks so beginning the pain now :sad: )0

Okay Mommies, I am finally back from my LONG, WONDERFUL, weekend at the Lake. My starting weight for this new challenge is 220 (up one pound from the end of last week), but considering what I drank over the weekend, I am shocked it is not more.
For the newbies that don't know me, I am a full time working mother of one daughter that just turned 14 last week. She is the light of my life. I work for a mortgage company and have for 14 years in October. I am married to my husband for 9 years and to say it is complicated is an understatement...LOL.
When I started my weight loss journey in March myoal was 80 lbs by March 2012, I am currently at 61 lbs lost so I am now aiming for 80 lbs by the end of October which makes it 19 lbs for me on this challenge instead of the 8 that is set as a group goal. I hope we all obtain our goals.
Feel free to add me.
Week 9/5/11-- 220 lbs

Can I still join? I'm 46, mom of 4 (20, 18, 7 and 5) and married to my high school sweetheart for 24 years. I joined MFP at the beginning of the summer, and I've lost 10 pounds -- but nothing in the last 2 weeks. SO motivation would be good. I'm starting at 155 as of today. My goal for this week is LOG EVERYTHING and NO CHEATING. Hopefully that will get me back on track.
