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

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOTY for Danielle's 1,000th post!!!!!!!

And thanks so much for satisfying my curiosity about the pirate ship.

Harley, I was concerned about trying the Core Plan because you are supposed to just eat the allowed foods until you're full. That could be dangerous for me.

Well it is late,we are watchin the football game and I never got to walk. It was WICKED cold! I did grocery shop,scrubbed bathroom,dishes and 6 loads laundry.Can I count that as exercise?
I found a package of pie crusts leftover from Christmas. They need to be used before the 25th. Is there a pie I can make that isnt that bad? I make a killer apple pie but I use brown and white sugar so that is probably not good.
Maybe I could make turnovers or a chicken pie. I have two crusts.Ideas?

try your apple pie with splenda (both brown and white) and only use 1 crust on the top...

Do you use different amounts of splenda than sugar or is a teaspoon equal to a teaspoon sugar?

Hi peeps! Just checking in on the DIS for the last time tonignt and I wanted to leave you all with some special Diet Rules...

1. If you eat something, but no one else sees you eat it, it has no calories.

2. If you drink a diet coke whilst eating a chocolate bar, the calories in the chocolate bar are cancelled by the diet coke.

3. When you eat with someone else, calories don't count as long as you don't eat more than they do.

4. Foods used for medicinal purposes never count. Example: hot chocolate, brandy, toast, Sara Lee cheesecake

5. If you fatten up everyone else around you, then you look thinner.

6. Movie-related foods do not have calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.

7. Cookie pieces contain no calories. The process of breaking the cookie causes calorie leakage.

8. Late-night snacks have no calories. The refrigerator light is not strong enough for the calories to see their way into the calorie counter.

9. If you are in the process of preparing something, food licked off knives and spoons have no calories. Examples: peanut butter on a knife, ice cream on a spoon

10. Foods of the same colour have the same number of calories. Examples are: spinach and pistachio ice cream, mushrooms and white chocolate. Chocolate is a universal colour and may be substituted for any other.

I hope everyone has a great week!

-Michelle

Happy 1000th post, dwheatl!

Michelle, I have decided I like your rules much better than the ones I just typed up for my family. The "rules" go into effect tomorrow at our house.

Rules:

No eating after 7:30

One small sweet per day. Example: 10 jelly bellys, cup of frozen yogurt

No white bread, biscuits or rolls. Wheat only.

Limit all starches.

No sodas (except for one diet coke per day - sorry, I can't give it up)

No potato chips.

Acceptable snacks include: piece of cheese with wheat cracker, fruit, vegetables with dip, popcorn, a bowl of cereal.

8 glasses of water a day. We will drink most of these together.

Must exercise 4 times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes (to start). Walking, treadmill, DDR on the work out setting.

We are all taking juice plus and multi-vitamins.

On Sundays, we get one free meal. (Like with a roll and real dessert)

No seconds! The first bite is as good as the last.

Getting flax seed this week.

So how does that sound! I want this to be doable. I am stressing a lifestyle change, not a diet.

Stacey-

OK, you can borrow my list, if I can borrow yours! I need to get my gang in shape, too. I figure it starts with me, and then it'll trickle down to the rest of 'em. If I stop snacking - then no one will be snacking! LOL!

Seriously, great list - do you mind if I copy it? I guess I need to look into getting some flax seed, too...

Snow- your crust sounds like a carb. I'm a fan of homemade Chicken Pot Pie. Maybe? Made with lowfat cream of chicken soup and chunks of good veggies like carrots and celery and peas, and green beans? I couldn't eat too much crust...Ya RIGHT! I'd want to eat the whole pie. It's a comfort food and it's snowwing here. Again.

 

[UtahMama]

MIchelle and Moo- Thanks for the lists! Although I LIKE Michelle's more, I have a sinkin feeling Moo's will work a teensie bit better. I need to post the rules with my skinny picture!

Moo, it sounds do-able! I am so choked up, I just KNOW this time is YOUR time! You'll do it little by little and be such an inspiration to others. Your 30 pound goals can also have mini-minnie goals of 5 pounds. 6 minnie goals equal one 30 pound mini-goal. Soon you'll be one HOT MOO! I'm excited for ya!

Dang! I forgot to take my vitamins this afternoon. Cant take them on an empty tummy. CRAP! Ok, a little saltine cracker action. I'm so cheating! No, I have extra points so it's 15 mins after my deadline.

Has anyone bought those Wasa Craackers that were on the Bob/Oprah episode? I think they looked plain but better for me than bread. I think when i went to Diet Center years ago I ate them. That was diet number 37 back in the 80's when i thought i was fat!

Snow - I am so jealous. I grew up in Upper Michigan. I have been in South Mississippi for 17 years and I am still not adjusted to the ridiculous heat. I miss snow. Not that much snow, but some snow would be nice.

Michelle - copy away!

It sounds like a carb because it is. I am too cheap to toss good food so I am trying to use stuff up sensibly. I might do a chicken pie. I can just eat a little crust and be good. Its cold here but no snow. I actually miss the snow. Of course I got SH a snowblower for xmas so it hasnt snowed enough to shovel yet. Why do you have a deadline? I am confused? Do you set a time to not eat after?

My personal favorite! Chocolate is a universal color!

I'm not having a good weekend. I found 1 of my 4 pound loss at Disneyland friday, (darn ice cream parlour) and I can't seem to get rid of it. I have to weigh in tomorrow with ediets, and I just know that darn pound is going to be there. Should have made Utahmama's muffins!
Have a good night, everyone!

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Thanks for the encouragement, Uma! YOU rock!!! If you ever need a part-time job, you ought to be a weight-loss cheerleader at a diet center IRL.

I can't take any credit for Michelle's list - I only posted the part that was my favorite rule. I managed to only eat a tiny bit of chocolate today.
