DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 2

[dance2874]

Happy Birthday Disney JO!:

 

[snowwite]

1 Box cake mix- any flavor
1 can of diet soda.....NOTHING else (no eggs, oil, etc.!)

Some of the suggested flavors are:

Chocolate cake with diet cherrie Pepsi (I did that one, very yummy!)
lemon cake with diet sprite or diet 7-up
Spice cake with diet Dr. Pepper
Devil's food with diet Pepsi
Strawberry cake with diet Sprite


Bake according to pkg. directions. The calories and fat (etc) are the dry mix on the box. Not the prepared cake. GOOD STUFF!

The cake I made had 12 servings at 150 calories per serving which is 3 points if you're doing WW. I wonder if you added some fiber if it'd lower the points?

Also good is the spice cake w/raisins or crasins and walnuts (optional) and can of pumpkin. I mix it up and drop spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake 375 for 20 mins or until brown. Taste like hermits. Not pretty to look at but very good.

FIDGE I tried joining a "popular" thread on the Community Board, and always felt invisible, it was more from "my" mind than reality - they were warm and inviting, just ask UtahwendyMama - she was on that thread!!

Yet, my insecurities always crept in, so I just hope any reader, joiner, loner here steps up and posts, just start talking, blog, confess,

You Matter!!!

Thanks for posting this! I always feel like I'm a thread killer on most of the threads I begin or post in. For the first time in awhile I really felt like all of you Peeps included me immediately! Thanks - I really appreciate it!

Question????
I am a decaffenated coffee drinker and like it with a tablespoon of FF Hazelnut creamer and 1 Splenda. I drink 2 LARGE cups (12oz each) a day. Could this be inhibiting my weight loss??

Thanks for your opinions and answers!!!

Hmmm, I guess it could be hindering your weight loss, but I personally think that if you have been doing it for awhile and you count any calories/points, that you should be fine. However, maybe you are not drinking enough water to counter the effects of the caffeine in the coffee? One thing I always remembered from WW was to limit your caffeine intake.

I still need to catch up. But I'm in a smidge of a panic. I got on the scale as I occasionally do, and it said +3 By now I know not to panic, because that's what I'd tell you guys if it happened to one of you. But still! I really need to be more mindfull of everything I do!!! I'm just being lazy not writing everything down and drinking more soda and not exercising etc ETC. This is a familiar pattern for me. I hope it's just water retention because my chest is tender and I am bloated.

My weight DOES fluxuate several pounds, so I'm not going to worry. I just need to be wayyyy more diligent! It's NOT ever easy, In fact it's aLOT easier to just eat however I want and sit on my bum.

I can DO this!!!

I am guilty of doing this as well, but to get a true judge of your weight, you really should weigh yourself the same time in the same place once a week, even in the same clothes if possible. I'm sure you probably knew it but just wanted to reply to you. But YOU CAN DO IT!!!

QUESTION....
I am not brand loyal with my frozen meals. I buy whatever is on sale. This week it's Weight Watchers Smart Ones. So far I've had...
Chicken Enchilda Suiza
Creamy Parmesan Chicken
Chicken Marsala
If you've had some Smart Ones you like...please let me know!!! Thanks!!!

Some of my fave WW Smart Ones are Penne Pollo and the chicken alfredo. Both pretty good. If you like the WW chicken enchiladas, then you should try the Healthy Choice version. I think it is WAY better. Lean Cuisine's Sesame Chicken is also awesome.

I need extra peeps power today! I'm off to the hospital to spend some time with my grandma who is not expected to live more than a couple of days. She was taken in for emergency surgery last night where they discovered a football size tumor in her intestines. They had no idea she had cancer and they think it has spread alot. She's been ill for a couple of years now and has alot of problems, so I thought I was ready for her to go, but now that it's here, I'm a mess. She raised me for 7 years after my mom died when I was a baby and before my dad remarried when I was 8, so she's more like a mom to me. I need will power to not eat to comfort myself, my siblings are most likely coming up fromm Utah this weekend, so I guess I can spend my time cleaning my house instead of eating.................ok, now I'm rambling. It's easier to sit here at the computer than go up to the hospital and face the truth. Oh, I really want a hot fudge sundae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so sorry. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Family is the first priority in a situation like this so don't beat yourself up if you slip up food-wise.

I gotta go catch up on All My Children! Dixie DIED yesterday!!!!! I was crying! I stole her song to her son, "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...." of course her son was born after my DS17 and is now about 30 on the show!

Dixie died? Didn't she die before on that show and then move to another soap? I have fond memories of AMC. My grandmother used to watch it so when I was sick or on break from school, I always stayed at their house and we used to watch The Price is Right and AMC. I watched it off and on throughout high school and college but haven't seen it in years. The last time I flipped to it I didn't even recognize any of the characters!

What does McDonalds put in their food that makes you crave it??? I had it yesterday and of course I was itching for it all day today again. Sort of like, once I had it I HAD to have more. Ugh...guess what I had today? I am now trying to add up the damage for the day. I am pretty sure I used the balance of my flex points today, which is ok that is why they are there and I weigh Sat AM...I can make it 2 more days without them. I will!! I have to!

I hear ya. I had a very long day and somehow ended up in the McD's drive thru on my way to class tonight. You will do great the rest of the week, I know it!

I'm reading that lots of your kiddos (I guess I can include DHs in this group) are sick. so Here's a little magic medicine that they get better asap!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISNEY JO!!!!!!! ​

Taste like hermits.

What are hermits?

 

[sorul82?]

The cake recipe sounds yummy and easy! I have some cake mix, but the only canned beverage in the fridge is beer......for beer in the butt chicken. MMMMMM! Note to self: take chicken out of the freezer.

I'll have to buy a "soda" (as you non-Southerners call it) this weekend. Us Southern folk refer to all "sodas" as a coke or soft drink.

Remember how I posted I was up 3 lbs. this morning? I'm SO glad I did weigh myself because it was a mini-wake up call. What if this weight gain trend had continued because I wasn't trying but was feeling all cocky? Anyway, I'm glad because I was ON IT today!

Glad you answered!!

DD and DH are fighting. He was such a great student. I was not. I am not an organized person. DD (and DS') is following my example... she made it home without her homework... dh is livid, and is just trying to get her to do what he says. She is so stubborn, she is just fighting him tooth and nail.. this is so turning into the nightmare of last night! I have a headache... Its after 8pm the moms have talked, and dd may NOT call after 8pm, dh thinks she can call.. and on and on the yelling at each other goes... rationilze.. etc...

*heavy sigh.

 

[dismom9761]

Winkers Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you.

 

[harleygirl]

why is it that people feel the need to go on national tv and make total fools of themselves...

I have been subjected to an hour of solid ear torture as my DH fuels his American Idol obsession...

OK, confession time for todays trainwreck!
b-WW smoothie w/banana (4pts) I freakin love these things, they have kept me full until lunch every day this week
l-french bread pizza (9 unworth it pts, but I was at a friends house and we were sharing a box. She is pregnant and I couldnt deny her zome pizza pleasure, and she didnt want to eat them both!
s-Pooh Muffin (1)
D-ditto last nights McD's order. I figured since I already knew the points for that mess I would get the same thing and save myself the trouble (20.5 pts)

So total:34.5
I got all my water, and milk but missed my veggies for today. I also did exercise some because I taught Dance today. I now have about 8 flex pts for the week but I am going to try not to use them. I am always afraid I miscalculated somewhere along the way and want to leave a cushion.

FIDGE I tried joining a "popular" thread on the Community Board, and always felt invisible, it was more from "my" mind than reality - they were warm and inviting, just ask UtahwendyMama - she was on that thread!!

Yet, my insecurities always crept in, so I just hope any reader, joiner, loner here steps up and posts, just start talking, blog, confess,

You Matter!!!

I was not on that thread, but I was sort of afraid to join this one at first for that reason, and because it is over 300 pages long! But I felt welcome right away and you guys are so great!

Cottage Cheese and Yogurt? I never had those mixed before. Good?? I may have to try it.

And Winkers- I have been thinking about you all night. I lost a close family memeber in a very similar way about 2 yrs ago, and I remember that feeling well. You always thinkyou are prepared, but you never really can be.

Drats, ever since they moved our fox station from #3 to #12 I keep forgetting to go up!! I've been packing, and looking for tickets... today at Target I spend $4.34 on a short/top jammie outfit... so I tried it on... its too tight, but, I'd better run downstairs and get those tickets (ADD here yep!!)

DD spies me and says "MOM, you look skinny in those jammies!!, I mean, you look ok in your other jammies, but I mean, these, are good, well you know you are comfortable... " my 10yr dd was stammering...

and no I do not look "good" every little bump and "muffin" roll is showing... "ew" She's buttering us up for somethin!!

So I was talking to my boss today about our trip to Gasparilla this last weekend. If you don't know about it, the pirates invade Tampa and for some reason they bring lots of beads to throw from floats in a parade...not sure how that works into it, but it's fun!

Anyways, he asked me if I got a lot of beads. I said, not, but my girls did. He looked at me, cracked up laughing , and said "well it usually is the "girls" that get the beads."

I just shook my head and rolled my eyes and said "I meant my daughter and her friend". What a goober!
