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

[becky_AK]

Hi. I am home! It's really nice to be home. I came home yesterday if you can believe it. I got the ok and said see ya! The ward was so busy and I just couldn't stand listening to the crying baby next door any longer. I pray that baby doesn't stay like that for that mom. They had a sign on the door that prohibited just anyone from walking in the room. Go figure she checked out minutes before me.

Here's a link to see extra pictures of Madelyn the hospital took.
Use August 13, Michigan, Joh as mom's last name if you want a peak. Her stats are there too!

We are resting lots and being waited on. Malorie and her brothers adore their new sister. She looks like my Zachary. She's a Johnson.

Hope everyone is doing well over here. When I can do the steps I'll take lots of pics and post. She's wearing her first at home outfit and it has bambi on it.

What a beautiful little girl!! She is precious

GOOD MORNING & HAPPY WEIGH IN DAY!

Here's to some BIG numbers today!

Welp....no school today. My kids always have Friday off of the first week of school. I guess the teachers/admin work and readjust or whatever after all the enrollment is in.

Anyway....no lunches! Yay!

I still have to get to work early. This is our busiest weekend of the year in my ministry area.

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

Fly by--hope that everyone is doing well. Must get kiddos up. Have a good one.

-4 POUNDS!!! I managed to hold on to the three I lost earlier this week and add another (not easy considering we had a "goodbye" lunch for a summer student at PIZZA HUT yesterday -- thank gracious I love their salads). That brings my uber total to -43 lbs and gets me under my major-mini goal to weigh less than I did when I graduated from college. Next stop high school. I have 22 lbs to lose for that next major-mini goal. Onward and downward.

I am taking a few moments to reward myself for getting this far: I have a massage scheduled on Monday. Of course I am quite the chicken and scheduled the Hands and Feet massage instead of full body...

Mony -- she is beyond precious! I took Lexi's hint and "played the pics like a movie." Almost looks like she's doing sign language.

Good weigh-in thoughts to all and a hand-up to those who need it...

That brings my uber total to -43 lbs and gets me under my major-mini goal to weigh less than I did when I graduated from college.

ATTENTION, EVERYONE! I would like to congratulate MJ!!! She has been one of the most consistent losers everytime I've taken down the weigh ins. Congratulations on making that first BIG goal. Below college weight! I'm so, so, so proud of you!

[DisneyObsession]

No WI for me today. I didn't bring the scale with me, which is probably a good thing! Don't think I really want to know what the number is today. Eating when you are not home is NOT pretty!!!

Monica...Madelyn is ADORABLE!!! God has truly blessed your family!!!

MJ...Congrats on more big numbers!!! WTG!!!

Rehearsal is tonight at 6! It's cloudy right now, but no rain is predicted until Mon! YAY! I hope it stays that way! The wedding is outside and there is an alternative spot, but we would prefer not to have to use it! I am getting my hair done tomorrow at 12:15 and we all had manicures and/or pedicures last night! 9 of us went and it was a blast!!! I have pretty red toes to go with my pretty red finger nails! Went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. Good food.

Eeyore...It is hard when the kids go off to college, especially when we don't get to drop them off! Hope you are doing better today.

Whoever said they are back on the wagon Mon can count me in! Definitely not losing while here!

OMG - I truly am sobbing!!

My boys are gone... They decided they could fit all of DS$2 things into fdil little toyota style car (its a dodge, but Iforget what kind!! lol)

They do an annual show called "Letting Go" Susie Boggus has a real tear jerker of a song...

She'll take the painting in the hallway,
The one she did in jr. high
And that old lamp up in the attic,
She'll need some light to study by.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

Mother sits down at the table
So many things she'd like to do
Spend more time out in the garden
Now she can get those books read too.

She's had 18 years to get ready for this day
She should be past the tears, she cries some anyway.

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

Oh oh letting go
There's nothing in the way now,
Oh letting go, there's room enough to fly
And even though, she's spent her whole life waiting,
It's never easy letting go.

It will be up on the wgnradio website tomorrow, the only youtube I could find so you can hear the tune... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzcZ6kh_iIU&mode=related&search=

Dont worry, its all good... just wanted to share!! Its love!! From the moment we know we're having a baby...

Sandy, oh I feel for you. I think that's why I wanted to come home early from the hospital. Just to be with my kids. I'm never away from them. l

Keep yourself busy.

Thanks everyone. She's a keeper. I too did the fast fly through with the pictures and I thought she was dancing.

Going to get my staples out today!

She's so little I have to get out the preemie outfits. Nothing fits her yet in the newborn sizes. It's a good thing I got a few. I didn't wash them I thought I'd hold on to them in case, well I need them now.

Here's to being BIG LOSERS! Have a great weigh in day!

I'm off to kiss some cute little cheeks.

backing out of weighing in this week..just can't deal with it today...

OK, so the past few weeks I haven't really been trying to lose anything or watching what I've been eating, mainly because I haven't had much of an appetite and when I did eat, I got full very quickly. I even managed to lose a few lbs. But this past week, I started feeling like my old self (I'm thinking maybe it is being home alone a lot more than I have been) and my eating is starting to show it. So I've decided I'm getting through the weekend and on Monday I'm starting fresh...really trying to watch what I eat and make a real effort to lose some more weight. Having a set schedule with work and school helps...plus if I'm really ambitious I have time to wake up and work out for a bit in the morning before work/school. Just wanted to let you know to make some room for me on the wagon, I'm ready to jump back on.

DITTO..i've been trying to go to the gym..but only made it 3 times this week..and my eating, well its been better..so like you, i know i need to jump both feet BACK on the wagon if i want to see something happen!

i'm very pleased with the dance results tonight. i started clapping and scared eli and he ran under the bed!

Hahahah...i just pictured poor eli running from the loud noise..my cat does that all the time. YAY for Sabra!

UGH, friday is here too fast. I don't think it occurred to me I was dieting this whole week.... I'm soooo afraid to see what the consequences will be. 37 more days to lose like a million more pounds. UGHHH! I am so mad at myself!

I just want there to be NO 2's (again!) in my number. Yet I sabotage myself for some reason. Maybe I'm more secure when I'm padded. I have no idea. But for the most part I'm truly happy and blessed. So what gives?

i hear that!!!
i'm mad at myself today too...and i really do wonder if i am sabotaging myself as well..but then i see super cute clothes that i just can't rock because of my current shape, which i call "frumpalicious"...and i get in gear. so maybe i should have pictures from Fall fashion mags on front of my fridge and near my gym clothes for motivation...hmmm...and i totally understand how you added that you are truly happy and blessed. i feel that way overall..so the mixed messages i give myself and do to myself don't make sense. Bottom line, maybe I am just plain lazy and have trouble fully commiting to something. Time to change that!

-4 POUNDS!!! I managed to hold on to the three I lost earlier this week and add another (not easy considering we had a "goodbye" lunch for a summer student at PIZZA HUT yesterday -- thank gracious I love their salads). That brings my uber total to -43 lbs and gets me under my major-mini goal to weigh less than I did when I graduated from college. Next stop high school. I have 22 lbs to lose for that next major-mini goal. Onward and downward.
...

yay for you!!

Happy Friday y'all! I've had a busy and exhausting week. Two days at the fair then nearly half a day talking to the admissions people at teh school. We had to help my DSis get her dog to and from the vet for his neuter around everything else we were trying to do. The good news is, I have been recommended for admission and as long as we can sort out financial aid, I'm going to get a associates degree in BA with focus on management. It's a 2 yr program and I can go on to get a bachelors if I want. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. I still have to work as well and have been half heartedly job hunting. If I don't work, it will be hard to cover any expenses that fin aid doesn't cover and we can't do anything extra or fun. It drives us crazy to not have the ability to go out and do things so it's worth it for me to work.

I didn't forget WI today. I was kind of concerned about the number since I did the fair and my preview weight was way too high. I am very happy to say I am a samer this week! I gained and then lost 4 lbs!

Have a skinny day PEEPS!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

It's been a crazy busy week which meant almost no exercising for me, but I managed to have a 0.6 pound loss for the second week in a row. I seem to spend Monday - Thursday making up for Friday - Sunday. If it wasn't for the weekend, I'd probably be seeing much better numbers. But this brings me to a grand total of 34 pounds lost since the start of the year; an uber-grand total of 58 pounds lost since April 2005; and I am now 27 pounds away from my goal weight of 155.

Hope everyone is doing well! to everyone that needs them, congrats to those that deserve them, and good luck to all on weigh in day!

BB - Ugh! I can't believe the voting ended that way!!! Well actually, I can believe it because I'm sure this is what the BB producers had in mind when they instituted the America's player thing. They had to have figured that that the people voting for that were going to do everything they could to turn the house on it's ear, which is exactly what has been happening.

 

[aries1980]

Im a samer and have been for like 5 months now!! Im so going to have to try and kick it up!

 

[punkin413]

-1 pound for me this week. i'm so happy about it since i've been a samer for the past 3 weeks!!! it's about darn time!

ARRRRRGH!!! Isn't he a ,well, "his name"??? I totally hate him. I REALLY hate when he makes fun of the Christian ladies! That' is SO not cool. He reminds me of a grown up bully. OK, I did NOT see it tonight! WHAT happened? No, is there a place I can look at for a summary? I'll try cbs.com.

it's like he can't accept the fact that people actually didn't do what he wanted them to do!!!!! oh, the horror! he's a big baby if you ask me. i hope danielle actually runs her HOH this time around instead of letting him do it. which brings me to what happened.......eric was told by "america" to vote dustin out. so he plants that seed in jessica's head. then ED talks to him about voting for dustin and aligning with him and danielle. amber and jameka were totally shocked. i don't think either of them knew what hit them. i'm surprised amber didn't commit suicide. and i'm not joking.....i'm serious. the girl has some serious mental issues. i hope she goes this week. my top pick would be ED, but danielle, who won HOH, is not going to put him up. if you want more details, i'm sure sandy knows of a website to go to for a review. my favorite one is retired.......the guy who ran it got tired of all the hate e-mails!

I still have to get to work early. This is our busiest weekend of the year in my ministry area.

i'm curious.....why is it so busy? is that something you can share?

ATTENTION, EVERYONE! I would like to congratulate MJ!!! She has been one of the most consistent losers everytime I've taken down the weigh ins. Congratulations on making that first BIG goal. Below college weight! I'm so, so, so proud of you!

​

CONGRATS MJ!!!!!!!!!!!!! awesome job!

Going to get my staples out today!

okay.....you can tell i haven't been pregnant yet because when i read this i cringed! i'm sure all the mommies out there didn't even flinch! good luck with that monica!

[winkers]

Just checking in! I'm not weighing myself because I've learned that my mom's scale is possessed and adds and extra 20lbs plus guilt! I've been having a great time! I've been shopping everyday since I got here and for the first time in my life I'm tired of shopping!!1 I can't believe I said that. Anyhoo, here's an update on my b-day present.........................

 

[HockeyKat]

I am -1.2. Better than I expected considering how bad I was this weekend. I know next week I am likely to be a samer thanks to AF... I am 1.4 lbs away from my pre-WDW trip goal of 175 lbs, 6.4 away from my stretch goal.

Yay to MJ and punkin!! D I know how much you want to get those last few away!

to Sandy.

I am headed to the beach tonight to spend the weekend with my family. Not really looking forward to it, as I don't really get along very well with my brother. Luckily it is only tonight, tomorrow, and half of Sunday!

As to the sabatoging, lifestyle change thing... I think that you have to get to a point where being thinner is more important to you than anything else. That point is VERY VERY difficult to get to... it took me at least a year, maybe two, of start/stop, start/stop, to get to it.

And finally, I exercise so much because I am TERRIFIED of loose skin. I have two friends that dropped 70-80 lbs very quickly with no exercise and both have the "pocket" of skin on their belly. Everytime I don't want to go to the gym I think of the one girl (who is very thin but with hanging skin) and I go and hit some sort of cardio as hard as I can! I still may get it but I am trying as hard as I can (and moisturizing as much as possible).

 

[If U Had Wings]

Down -4 this week!

I was feeling pretty good about things this week, but I did have some birthday cheesecake on Monday so I wasn't sure how things were going to turn out.

I think the nightly walks have been helping, even though they are exhausting me! I was going to skip it last night, and just walk on the mini tramp inside instead, but I forced myself out the door to do it. I just know I wouldn't have worked as hard if I was walking inside. Took about a 50 minute walk (stayed in the condo complex this time as it was already dark when I headed out). Tomorrow is going to be a bit tough. It's our town's festival day which means lots of bad, tempting food. I've already told myself I'm going to allow for a small piece of fried dough, and everything else will have to be healthy choices. I know the dough is bad, but I only have it once a year at the festival. It's a treat. I'll just have to think about how happy I was looking at the scale this morning to stick to stick with being good tomorrow.

Only 3 lbs to go before I'm back under 200 again! That's the goal for next Friday!

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, so I lost the .4 I think I gained last week (I couldn't stand on the scale correctly because of my toe, so who knows.) But that's not all! I lost 1.4 lbs this week (putting me at 216.8), for a total loss of 33.2 lbs so far! Now, if I can maintain that this week. See, we were supposed to go to Cedar Point this weekend. Well, it's an annual thing, and we always take DH's sis for her b-day, but she couldn't get off work the same weekend DH was off. And we couldn't find anyone else to go. So since DH doesn't do the thrill rides with me, we decided it was pretty silly to go there. (As much as I wanted to conquer Millienium Force now that I am sure I would be able to fasten the safety belt! Oh well - next year!) SO, we are going back to Door County, WI for the weekend! I am SOOOOOO excited because it doesn't get much more relaxing than Door County for me, and I need that! Plus, we haven't been in a few years. So I'm really looking forward to it.

UGH, friday is here too fast. I don't think it occurred to me I was dieting this whole week.... I'm soooo afraid to see what the consequences will be. 37 more days to lose like a million more pounds. UGHHH! I am so mad at myself!

I just want there to be NO 2's (again!) in my number. Yet I sabotage myself for some reason. Maybe I'm more secure when I'm padded. I have no idea. But for the most part I'm truly happy and blessed. So what gives?

I know JUST what you mean! I am truly a happy person overall. I have much to be thankful for, and I am! And have been - especially since I have been in my current job. However, for some reason, I couldn't get the motivation/determination/commitment together to do anything about my weight! I think I got really fed up with my weight, and I was not liking pictures of myself that much. (Which is bad because I am SUCH a picture person! Love them!) I was frustrated with the limitations my weight was causing for me, and I saw that number - 250 on the scale, and I could NOT BELIEVE it! I have never weighed that much in my life! And I was at my largest size in clothes. It was starting to have an impact on my health. (The acid reflux, the sprained ankle from our trip last November...) I just HAD to do something. And then I found the Peeps for inspiration, and I made a choice, and I haven't looked back! Even now, it is a struggle sometimes. I am happy, but I do have a lot of stress at times, and it's a challenge to stay on track. When I do hit a roadblock, I just have to keep doing what I'm doing. Maybe change it up a little, but keep going. I also find reading back through some of the earlier posts on this thread is helpful if I need a little extra boost. I'll be thinking of ya and praying for your success (as I will for all the Peeps)!
