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

[pixie dust 112]

Thanks for your advice...thats kinda the thought I had abot it too...it was just sudden onset and no relief,poor baby just cried and cried...

on other thoughts...I am going to be really good this week, minus tonight of course, and if I dont post a loss I think I am going to go have some tests run. My Dr passed away this past week so I have to find a new one and I want to get a blood work done to have my cholesterol checked, and maybe my thyroid...its not just the weight loss, its alot of things that could be something or nothing at all, fatiuge(thats being a mom) hair loss(thats being a mom& wife) but puffy eyes & eyelids, swollen fingers, joint pain(could be from working out) sleeping and waking up unrested, insomnia, changes in mentrual cycle, contipation, could be them muffins..i dunno may all be coincidence and I just need to try harder...

I want a easy button!!!

Any joint pain? You might want to check for lyme disease. Good luk hope both you and DS feel better!

I thought the exact same thing. Harley, I'm glad you're taking this seriously. I know it's hard to find time to take care of yourself when you're a mom, but your family needs you healthy.

WOOOOHOOOOTY, COLTS!!


Good thing it was kind of a quiet day and not too hard to do a quick catch up! My hip started flairing up again today. A PT at church tonight looked at it (had me lay on the floor and twisted me up) he is worried it could be a herniated disc and he is going to try and get me in to see a neurosurgeon. I am praying it is just that my SI joint is out of place. Hurts like the dickens though!

Did not fall too far off the wagon today. I will hop back on tomorrow.

Melinda, I hate that happened to your DD. Our teenagers have so much to deal with. I will pray for her.

All the sad pet stories! I actually cried reading the pig story. My kids' hamster died a few months ago and the story is kind of funny - in a sick, weird way. I found the poor stiff hamster. He must have died on like Sat. night and I discovered him on Sun. night. When I told the kids, DD11 immediately falls to pieces. DS7 looks stunned for a second and then says softly and slowly, "That must be why when I picked him up today, (pauses, then begins to cry and talk louder) he didn't move (now realing wailing) and when I held him and pet him....he didn't move!!!" So I have no idea how long DS played with the dead hamster!

I now have about 4 peeps on Myspace! I am kind of liking Myspace now!

WHEN THE HECK DID I HIT 1000 POSTS???!!!

WOOOO HOOOTY!!!!

Way to go!!! I am getting closer!

Hi, Everyone!

I would really like to join your group. It seems that everyone on this thread is so supportive and friendly and maybe that's what I need as a motivation to shape up and get healthy. A little about myself: I'm a 28 year old college student I hoping to make it into the nursing program this fall and currently holding a 4.0 GPA. I love scrapbooking. I take way too many photos when traveling. I walk at the local YMCA through a college program. I love flavored water (Crystal Light or Wal-Mart version). My biggest downfall: in-laws, love them dearly & get along with them better than my own family, but they love to eat out and usually they buy Last night, Pizza Hut. Friday night, McDonalds. I'm going to do better, I promise. Now, if someone could tell me what I need to do, then I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Fran

You will love it here. I ate at Pizza Hut today! Ate veggie pizza and salad.

Hi everyone!

I'm back from our Disney trip, came home to 16 degree weather . It was overall an ok trip. Lots of good things happened, lots of bad things happened. I will write a trip report sometime soon.

I got on the scale this morning and it read 192.0, .5 lbs lighter than last week. I ate lots of dessert at Disney, but did lots of walking too. I'm going to try and get back into the eating-right-mode and try to have a weight loss for this week coming up. It will be hard because I will be traveling on business which means a) no exercise and b) usually fast food.

I was thinking about you all on my trip and am so glad that I have such a supportive group to come home to!

Welcome back! Can't wait to hear about your trip. How were the crowds?

Hey you DIS guys. What a great idea to do this weight-loss support thing. I haven't been on the board much in a few months because of craziness in my life. However, I'm back now & trying to get caught up EVERYWHERE ... how hard is THAT? Any way, I just found this. I must say I'm inspired. I intended to make "getting healthy" ... well, heathier, anyway ... a new year's resolution, but the the NY just flew right by & I didn't make any resolutions.

Maybe now ... with support from the likes of you all ... I can get started ... if this ship hasn't already sailed without me!

AHR

It is never too late!

Hi all! I just discovered this and would like to join if I may?! I'm Jess, I'm 30 and about 7 years ago I joined WW and lost 65 lbs, so I KNOW that it can be done. Over the last 5 or so I've slowly gained back 30 of it, around 10 in the last 9 mos or so. SO - DH and I are going to Key West and Disney in 3 mos. I want to lose at least 15 lbs before we go. I started a new job a couple months ago and this office isn't nearly as bad with the snacking and eating out as my last one, so that will help. I've joined Curves and am determined to make going there 3-4 times/week a part of normal routine, and we're already eating better. Neither of us have a sweet tooth AT ALL so that's never been a problem, but I LOVE CARBS!! I'm trying very hard to eat more protein and less carbs. I really started watching myself and exercising last week and have lost 2 lbs so far, I just need to stick with it!

Three new peeps today! How exciting!

Peeps, I lost my battle with food tonight. I did really well early on, counted my points and even though I had a few chips (4 or 5) with a bit of dip, I really stuck to my guns. DH and I got into it over halftime and I gave into emotional eating. I had a slice of pizza and about 12 steamed shrimp. DH is being a putz, screaming at the TV which is way too loud and bellyachy at me for playing a card game in the LR while he's trying to watch the game. He thinks we didn't have a right to watch and play at the same time because it interferes with his watching. I don't let him watch the games all year because of his attitude when things aren't going the way he wants. He's throwing a huge temper tantrum at the moment and decided to go to bed.

I think I'm done eating now, I have to give up a fudge pop or the WW choc cake though.

MENARPUTZ! But at least they take out the garbage!

I had to go back to the doctor today because the antibiotics aren't working and my ear is still They gave me new antibiotics, stronger ones, but not before they made me get on the scales with my jeans , sweater and sneakers on, so my weight there was exactly what it was at home pre-weight loss. I wanted to strip right there in the hall, but there were enough people suffering already

Danielle, I hope you feel better!

Thanks Stacey.

I want to recommend something for anyone who's interested. If you go to calorieking.com and click on products, they have a pocketbook nutrition guide that has lots of fast food places listed. if you and your family go to fast food places often, this can help you plan ahead. They also have the nutrition info free online, but the pocketbook is something you can carry with you. They sell them at the pharmacy at my Kaiser for about $.50 less than the website, but if you don't see them around, you can order them online.

i am up late i know.. had a horrible sunday our kitchen faucet is leaking and i guess it has been for a while it was leaking all the way under the sink and down into our laundry room the shelf above the washer and dryer was flooded we figured out the problem and stopped the leak but we just have to buy a new faucet. we were arguing all day about money and jobs and disneyland this year. and anything you could find . and i just yelled at my poor baby's today i just want to crawl into a hole . i have eaten anything i could find two ice cream sandwiches ,pringles (3) 64 oz pepsi's . crystal light and now i am hungry again . i am afraid to walk into my room because i know mayson will just wake up and i will get no sleep... i am hoping to go to the gym each day this week and get my momentum back again i need to excercise so i can let go > i swear i was pm'sssing but since i know that is not a remote possibility (due to a complete hysterectomy) i will just call it one of those days...
anyways i just wanted to say Hello and needed to vent ((sorry)) i was gonna explode..

My Dr passed away this past week so I have to find a new one and I want to get a blood work done to have my cholesterol checked, and maybe my thyroid...its not just the weight loss, its alot of things that could be something or nothing at all, fatiuge(thats being a mom) hair loss(thats being a mom& wife) but puffy eyes & eyelids, swollen fingers, joint pain(could be from working out) sleeping and waking up unrested, insomnia, changes in mentrual cycle, contipation, could be them muffins..i dunno may all be coincidence and I just need to try harder...

I want a easy button!!!

I am glad you are going to get this checked. My friend had some of the sme issues--found out she had adult onset food allergoes. Swollen eyes and eyelids.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE~ OK I feel like complete failure this morning. I up the pounds that I lost. Yesterday DH had to work and DS went home from church with some friends to watch the game at their house. Well that laves me and DD and DS#2. With the older two when on is gone I try to do something with the other for special time. We she wanted to eat Mexican and we did. I even shared my meal with DS. At church I had an English Toffee capaccino and a bagel. Not to bad. At the party last night I had 2 hot dogs with and without chili and cheese. Two homemade meatballs on bread (not worth it all) with cheese. Crackers and cheese (can you see the pattern) a caramel recees cup--again ot worth it. ALSO--no water all day.

Today I will be better. I always do better at work.

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MONDAY MORNING, EVERYONE!!!

Hope everyone survived the super bowl yummies last night!!! I did pretty well except for the dang quesadillas!

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers for DD17. I talked to her DF's mom yesterday and she was OK after they spent 5-6 hours at the hospital on IVs. The mom was just trying to put the situation together. Couldn't believe her daughter would drink alone when in a group of several other girls who were not drinking. I was so for her. She's a sweet lady.

Although I feel funny saying it...if it had to happen I'm glad my daughter was able to witness that situation up close as and will hopefullly never be in it herself. She got calls all day yesterday from friends who were asking if the rumors were true that her DF was also on drugs. Rumors!!! I feel sorry for DF but hopefully some good will come from it in the form of a rude awakening. As I told DD, unfortunately, this will be DF legacy from high school...the thing she will be remembered for.....by everyone.....

In other kid news....armpit fart boy is getting his cast off today!!!! YAY!! I can't wait to wash that dirty, scaley hand with something scrubby. (He got the cat scratch armpit fart kitty in his happy meal last week. Has anyone else recieved this loud, obnoxious toy??)

However, I am taking DD13 with me to be X-rayed when I take DS to the orthopedistist. Her wrist might actually be broken from Sat. night. I hope it's just a bad sprain but since we're going anyway....might as well get the x-ray.

My DH just started the WORST shift at his work....6PM to 6AM.

Is this a permanent change? My brother works a swing shift and it's hard for me to understand the reasoning of a company....how can you get the best out of people if they are constantly having to change their sleep habits. Looks like half of them would be asleep all the time!

I had to go back to the doctor today because the antibiotics aren't working and my ear is still They gave me new antibiotics, stronger ones, but not before they made me get on the scales with my jeans , sweater and sneakers on, so my weight there was exactly what it was at home pre-weight loss. I wanted to strip right there in the hall, but there were enough people suffering already

Geez....Danielle you have been sick a lot this school year....germy little kindergarteners. I know...I have one. Hope you get good meds and feel better soon. on the enough people suffering already!!! Evil scales!

maybe my thyroid...its not just the weight loss, its alot of things that could be something or nothing at all, fatiuge(thats being a mom) hair loss(thats being a mom& wife) but puffy eyes & eyelids, swollen fingers, joint pain(could be from working out) sleeping and waking up unrested, insomnia, changes in mentrual cycle, contipation, could be them muffins..i dunno may all be coincidence and I just need to try harder...

Amy....so sorry about your sick little buddy. I so hope he's better today. Prayers for him (and you). You know it's so funny you mention all these symptoms. My friend (whose house we visited last night for super bowl) has hypo-thyroid disease and listed every symptom you have except the joint pain which could be a result of the exercise. She has done a lots of research and doctor shopping to get her meds right. I will be anxious to know what you find out.

i am up late i know.. had a horrible sunday

Oh, Misty........I'm so sorry it's been such a rotten day! Prayers for a better day today. Try to stay away from the snacks...they'll only make you feel worse.

MONDAY RESOLUTIONS....
More water this week.
Try to exercise 5 times.
Stay within calorie guidelines...I'm slippin now that I'm in maintenance.
Make an apppointment for a new haircut. I'm a little depressed with the constant ponytail.

IT'S A NEW WEEK....MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!

WOO HOOTY, EVER-BODY!!!​

We're on page 400 and we're gonna hit 6,000 posts today!!!

 

[lexmelinda]

STACEY....I meant to quote you and don't know what happened. I cried/laughed when I read the story about the hamster. Poor DS! Prayers for relief for the hip!! Hope you don't have disk issues.... Here's a

At church I had an English Toffee capaccino and a bagel. Not to bad. At the party last night I had 2 hot dogs with and without chili and cheese.

Today I will be better. I always do better at work.

Two things, Heather....they serve English Toffee Cappucino AT YOUR CHURCH??? Wow! Gotta talk to the folks at church! Just bad coffee and doughnuts at my church.

Don't feel bad about what you ate...it's a new week! I drank NO water this weekend at all and I do better at work too. Let's make it a good one!

No school here today so I'll be around some...maybe..

 

[snowwite]

I will have to catch up when I get home tonight.Just wanted to stip in and say hello!

 

[harleygirl]

Any joint pain? You might want to check for lyme disease. Good luk hope both you and DS feel better!

well I guess its prolly more from oring out, my hips get a little tender when I do certain poses in yoga, and my knees are tender from time to time, could be from trying to run with such a fat bootay
I dunno I'm gonna let AF leave, give a whole hearted 200 % effort, including going to bed earlier and see how it goes, hate to go and feel like a hypochondriac...I mean is there anything they can really do anyways? strangely enough all these things I've metnioned I also read on the colon cleanse sites as well...maybe I am just getting old

[eeyore45]

I KNEW IT!!

I tried a post from home, lovely welcomes and all!! Did it post?? I dont see it!!

ITS COLD here - the jr high told kids last Friday when the windchill is below 25 deg F - no school... they lied!! Today its -32 below, and we're at school, and pity those poor kids that are walking!! YES, walking, do they have hats? gloves? WARM coats? NO!

Did the cars start? BARELY, didnt shift out of first gear for over a mile!!

Bbbrrr...

Monday Morning PSA:

We are all struggling. We have all made a conscious decsion to come here for support, and support each other. Its a lovely thing.

What can you do to push past those "binges"? I challenge you.. (Its a throw down...) get a spiral notebook, grab computer paper 10 - 20 pages fold them in half... anything, just get paper and pen/pencil...

Write. That's correct. Instead of binging first... when you have that desperate need to put food in mouth, get on the computer, blog... get that paper next to your computer and blog...

1. Write 3 grateful moments. That's right. When we binge, we do not feel worthy. I challenge you to find ONE PEEP that is not worthy of love, that is not worthy of grateful moments. (< > ) hmm nope, I dont see a one - out of 45 registered peeps, and hundreds of lurkers, each and everyone one of us is worthy.

2. I would esp love it if you had a book of inspirational quotes, from Kermit the Frog, to Oprah.com, even Fred Rogers has a book... and the greatest book of all has these incredible Psalms... as does google...

3. Then post an inspiring message. Tell me. Post, I'm going to binge in a moment, but first that darn eeyore said to post a quote, so here's my quote.

3A because, even if you cant get beyond that point for that moment in time, maybe, just maybe if you care enough about another Peep, you can reach out and give someone else a grateful moment of inspiration...

So Skinny Minnies, are you IN for the challenge?

Monday - Friday weigh in - lets see what we can do for each other!!

A Thought on Love



"Don't hide love. If you feel it, express it—not to demand that others love you back, but simply to live outwardly the best of what you feel inwardly. The worst that can happen to your heart is not rejection by another person, but failure to act on the love you feel."

— Martha Beck, author of The Joy Diet
