I'm out of town for a girls weekend, so I weighed in early. Down about a pound to 153.4. Still an overall gain of about 6 pounds and I'm 16 weeks along now, so I'm good with that.
Hope everyone is doing great!0 -
sorry for not posting last week I had no change from last week. I thought I posted it.0

Happy Friday Ladies - Weigh in for the week...147.6 lbs!! That's a 1.6 lb. loss for the past week and a 21.4 lb. loss since beginning the Hot Moms Challenge!! I am feeling so good this week. I did a 4 mile run on Monday and a 5 mile run on Wednesday evening, while my younger daughter was having soccer practice. She and I are also running a 5K tomorrow night...excited about a night time run...we get glow-in-the-dark t-shirts and many will be running in costumes...should be fun!! My husband was out of town for half the week, so I just got to make my own food, which is much easier to make healthy choices. I did well foodwise this week.
I have finally gone shopping and am wearing some clothes that actually fit, rather than the baggy, too-big clothes that I have been wearing. I am having so much fun shopping and buying size 8s and mediums. I even pulled the "skinny" clothes from the back of the closet the other day, and they all fit, except for one pair of jeans that are my "goal pants". Many of the things that I had hidden back there have not fit in 8-11 years, I was soooo excited!! I have also been getting lots of complements, and the positive reinforcement is fueling me on. Now that I am wearing clothes that actually fit, and accentuate my new shape, people are really noticing. One co-worker told me that I look like I have had a total body makeover and that I look 10 years younger!! Love it!! And the young, hot, single, totally buff guy at work, who knows I have been running and working out, told me that all my working out is paying off because I look "yummy". I am sure that I was blushing like a school girl...lol!! Even us married for 21 years, over 40 moms still like to be noticed and complemented by a nice looking guy...lol!! Well, that was my week, ladies...I hope yours has been just as fabulous!! Hope you have a great weekend planned!! Tammy0 -
Well I kept it off, but we will see if it stick around for next week. 149.60

CONGRATS TAMMY!! That is such a great feeling when the complements come rolling in and the single digit clothes start fitting. So happy for you!! I am already planning my comeback after this pregnancy, and running is definitely going to be back on my list. I can't keep my HR low enough right now to run while pregnant but can't wait to get back to it.
Keep up the AWESOME work--you're doing amazing!!0 -

Sorry I missed your post, Sarah. I'll be more careful for this week, and will fill in your weight from last week.

~~~ WEIGH IN 10-22 -11 ~~
I lost 1 lb. since last weigh in. Im at a 152.2 now (my 1st weight goal :bigsmile: ).
That's a total of 14.2 lbs lost since starting Hot Moms.
p.s. Yesterday I wore my size 14 jeans to work. They were very baggy, but buying a belt is cheaper than buying new clothes...so on goes the belt and off to work I go. Well, after work, I had to do some shopping for a wedding that's today and I decided to try on some jeans (Lee Riders). I grabbed a 10 and yes they fit, but still a little loose. So for the heck of it, I grabbed a size 8 and they FIT! I left the store w/the 8's. Now, I probably couldn't do that with another brand, but w/ I could with these!0 -

Hey ladies!! I've trimmed down the chart a bit and cut out those who haven't weighed in for the last 3-4 weeks. We're missing a couple weigh-in's this week, so hopefully those who are missing in action are still staying with it!!!
I had a great 4-day weekend with girlfriends from school. Lots of shopping and got in a great calorie burn on a 2 hour hike. We also decided that our girls trip next year may be to San Francisco to run a half marathon sponsored by Nike where you receive a little Tiffany necklace rather than a medal.
Goals for me this week:
1. Make it to Zumba Thursday night
2. Elliptical or treadmill intervals Saturday and/or Sunday
3. 8 glasses of water per day
4. Get to the store to get more fruits and veggies--goal of 3-4 servings per day to start.0 -
Sorry for not weighing in! My doctor put me on new medication and it really screwed up my healthy eating! But im going to do my best to0

Oops! ^ going to stay on track as best I can now that I changed my meds0

Heather - I soooo want to do the Nike Half in San Fran...I am all about the race bling, especially when it comes from Tiffany's. A friend of mine ran it this year, and the necklace was super cute!! It sells out quickly, and they do it by random drawing. I believe registration for the drawing is in March/April...just wanted you to have a heads up if you want to do it. I didn't get in for it this year, so am hoping to make it next year.0 -

I heard that it is a HUGE race and that there is a lottery. My friend is going to create our team and enter us, because I think that you're correct and registration is in late March or early April--and I'll kind of be busy having a baby right around then!!!
It sounds like a fun race, I just hope that I have enough time to train. I can only run very short intervals these days due to the HR restrictions during pregnancy. If I run more than a couple minutes my HR gets into the high 150's, and my target is supposed to bey 140-150. Oh well--if our group is selected I definitely won't be running to win, just to finish!!! 0 -
~~ WEIGH IN 10/28/11 ~~
I lost 0.8 lbs putting me at 151.4 :drinker:0 -
After a 2 week of no loss or gain, I have a gain this week. I am up 0.9 lbs. So I am 143.3 lbs. I am not liking the way the scale is going. I think I am going to work on the gym and my water intake this coming week.
As for the goals of this week.
1. gym 3x this week
I got there once this week and maybe 2 if I can get there tom.
2. Start EA Sports and finish week one
I have done this every night so far and will tonight and tom as well.0 -
Ugh I forgot to post last week. I was 146.0
This week I'm 144.0 so i surpassed my intermediate goal!! I only have 9 pounds to go...whoo hooo..:drinker:
I hope everyone is doing well.

148.80

You guys are doing awesome!!! My sodium intake has been crazy out of control this past week, despite my calories being on track. So I'm up this week to 155.9 this week. Goals for this week are to get in all my water and to keep my sodium at 2500mg or less each day.
Keep up the great work ladies!!!0 -
My pace is slowing down. I was 147.2 this week, which is only a .4 loss for this week. My dad was in the hospital this week, so I did not get in any workouts during the week. I ran 6 miles yesterday and ran in a 5K race this morning, so managed to get in a little activity. We are going out tonight with friends to a club for an adult Halloween party, so I am taking tonight off. We are all dressing up as 80's heavy metal rockers...should be a lot of fun. Crazy thing is, I bought my outfit new off the racks at the mall, not at costume or thrift store. It is totally crazy (and wrong) that 80's fashions are coming back. TOM also started today after a 6 week hiatis, so that is throwing me off today too. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.0

Check in on my goals for last week.
1. going to the gym 3x this week
got to the gym once last week. I got my kids cold and having trouble working out.
2 start EA Sports and finish week one.
Done
So goals for this week is
1. drink at least 8 glasses of water per day
2. Get at least 7 hours of sleep per night
Trying to get rid of this cold before really working out. I could barely do anything today without coughing or being short of breath.0 -
WOW!! What a crazy busy week for me. Sorry to be posting this so late, I just haven't had time to breathe lately.

*sigh* I've been a total recluse. I got REALLY REALLY down for awhile because my scale numbers were so crazy, then I took my "eat more to lose" theory a smidge too far (like past what in hindsight is "maintenance") and started gaining *eek!*. I'm sorry ladies, it just got incredibly depressing seeing you all make strides on the scale and in this competition while I couldn't make heads or tails of my numbers. However, as of last week, my calipered body fat % is the lowest it's EVER been, 18.85%. I finally sucked it up and updated my ticker (157.4 - though it's up to you all if you want to add me in again. I'm working my way through all the posts I missed now.) and took a really good hard look at my actual net calories for the past 29 weeks I've been meticulously logging. Even posted everything in detail to get some help: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/382812-net-calorie-geniuses-need-help-29-weeks-documented . The bad news? People seem to be in so much awe over my body comp they think I ought to ditch the scale entirely (which I've been hearing all along). I realized that perhaps I probably should've never joined a scale-based competition because in order to succeed here I'd have to commit the *cardinal sin* of parting with some lean mass. However, considering I've never done straight-up cardio for a workout since starting this whole journey, losing some lean mass (and therefore #s on the scale) in conjunction with keeping my composition the same would be a very natural (and perhaps still healthy?) result. *sigh* Lots of mixed messages. I let the number on the scale get me down when that is only part of the picture. I literally didn't access the website for a LONG time because of it... at least I kept plugging in away on the app.
Anyway, I apologize for disappearing on you ladies. You seem to be doing wonderful and I'll keep peeking in to see how you all are doing even if I don't get readded.0 -

OF COURSE we'll add you back in! I just dropped your name from the chart since you hadn't responded in awhile--I didn't want you to feel any pressure if you weren't in the right place to participate! I'll put you back in the chart. 157.4 will be your official starting weigh in. What is your new goal to reach by 12/31? I have 145 as your original goal, but if you want to change just let me know!0 -

Hi Ladies - Wooo...crazy, busy week!! Weigh in for this week is 146.2, which is a 1 pound loss for the week. Not too bad considering I kinda took last weekend off. We had a blast going out with friends Saturday night to a club for an adult Halloween party. Our 80's heavy metal rocker costumes turned out great and we had a blast!! We even went out to dinner in full costume!! I'll have to add a picture to my photos on here. I drank too much Saturday night, and then on Sunday, drank some more and ate hot wings, etc. while watching football. But I was good on Halloween...no cocktails and no candy. I have actually surprised myself with the candy in the house...I haven't really wanted any of it. I think I have only had 2 small Tootsie Rolls all week. I survived the week of TOM, which is really throwing me off, since it is not regular anymore. I hadn't had it in 6 weeks, so I think it was building up to hit me extra hard...lol. In addition to TOM kicking my butt, I have not felt good this week...had a cold which turned into a sinus infection, so haven't been running, since I can't breathe. But not feeling well lead to a few days of not really eating much more than soup, so that had a good impact on the diet, I guess. I am planning to run a 5K on Sunday, and need to fit in a little longer run sometime this weekend, and then rest up for my half on 11/13. I am not really feeling prepared, but also not stressing...I know I can finish it, and it is along a nice flat, scenic route along the beach...it's all good. I will just take my time and enjoy the moment...for 13.1 miles...lol!! Hope everyone else had a good week and has plans for a fabulous weekend!!0

I wanna be a hot mom,lol
Having a hard time I love to eat....0 -
154.0 sorry ladies. I haven't been logging or really trying. Life is stressful right now. At least tomorrow is a new day and weekend to start over!0
