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

[monymony3471]

Pakey: Congrats on the one year anniversary. You are awesome!

Let's make a deal. Anyone else jump right in.

I have this thing about starting dates and mine is Jan. 1st.

Who's with me?

I am losing this weight. I guess 2008 is my year. I have a fool proof plan to not get pregnant, and mess this up. DH got snipped last week.

I bought a scale so I know what I weigh and can weigh in and participate.

Zach and I are each others cheerleaders. Oh, he's not a cheerleader he just told me over my shoulder, he's my tiny voice in my head.

He only gained 4 pounds. I've gained way too much to post. Don't want to break the dis.

Kat: I use photo bucket. Very easy.

I hope you had a wonderful birthday.



Wow, it's over. I blinked and Christmas is over.

I just have this day off and it's back to normal.

I did finish my floor over the weekend. I tiled my hallway/foyer. It's done!
I am so relaxed now. We just have to paint and put in the moldings.

I already primed the closet today. I have loads of laundry to do from neglect.

The kids as usual made out like bandits.

They are going out to the sad little snow pile that's left to try out their snow ball launchers they got.

We told them about the upcoming disney trip and it was woohooing and yehawing. It was great! I can't wait to plan with them this time.

Malorie got a leapster and she's all about playing it. She got the Enchanted Princess Counting game. She just loves it.

She also got the Bella Bella Bella, Bella Cinderella Dance Mat. She loves that too. I have that jingle in my head now.

Maddy got a BeBe chair. It's so cute and helpful. She can sit and play with other things put in her reach and my hands are freed up.

Ok, I have a monster pile of laundry to do. I found my whips and chains.
Don't ask.

Caio!

We have a BUMBO seat for Rebekah and it is awesome. She sat in it a good bit yesterday and she was sooooo cute. She is still so tiny.

Since that trip is planned to death and our France trip in Sep 08 is planned to death, I'm now starting on the Jan 09 trip with the kids and grandson. I think we may do a land/sea trip for them, adding the sea as a next year's Christmas present/surprise. DH must be in the holiday spirit because he agreed to pay for the cruise for 12 people--he usually gives me grief about spoiling our adult kids.

I'm hoping we go because then I'll get super motivated to lose the rest of my weight and get in shape so that I could maybe wear a bathing suit again. The last time I wore one, the style was still those striped babies that went down to the knees I have been so bad for the last 3 weeks that I need to do something to jumpstart my motivation. I've gained back 3 of the 26 lost and I don't want to have that number slide any more. I'm counting on you guys to help out.

Congrats on all the trips. That is awesome. I want to go on another Disney cruise but we need to wait until Rebekah can go to the kids club.

My start day is also the 1st. I want to lose about 20 pounds this year and hopefully I will stay motivated.

hey everyone!
Hope everybody had a nice Christmas!!
I see some of you are talking "starting dates"...and mine is January 2nd..i am hoping to get the full 40 off once and for all this year..and I know i can do it now..i am so excited to say i will be starting a new job..which may turn into a new career for me and i am still loving curves and determined to keep it up. I just got Dr. Oz's "YOU on a diet" for Christmas and will be reading it front to back...this is going to be my year..CORRECTION PEEPS: OUR YEAR!

Dawn (and anyone else who knows), who do you use for your photo hosting site? Any suggestions from anyone else would be welcome too... my web space is expiring in a week and I want to move my photos somewhere. Thanks!

i use photobucket. i've got about 30 pages of pics on there and i don't think i'm close to filling up the free space that's offered yet. it's really easy to use, too.

you sound like me! now that our april/may trip is pretty much all planned out, i'm looking at going for another girl's short trip in late august/september with a friend of mine (before my AP expires on 9/22!) and then another week-long trip in early december with DH and anna and her family. it's pathetic.

congrats on your year, by the way! i thought about not saying anything because it's sort of a bittersweet anniversary......one year ago you found out you had cancer. THEN i thought about it and realized it's something to celebrate.....look at how well you're doing! you're gonna beat this!

I have this thing about starting dates and mine is Jan. 1st.

I am losing this weight. I guess 2008 is my year.

i am! i WILL get to 130 pounds. my goal is to reach that weight by 1/31. i can do it. i'm at 133 the last time i checked. once i reach that goal i want to get FIRM!

monica - you inspired me. DH and i went to home depot today and bought fake wood flooring for our master bathroom. he's working on it right now. i'm supervising. i'll post before and after pics when we're done...which at the rate he's going looks like it's gonna be next week!

 

[Sandy321]

another photobucket user here!! You can also make different folders - so I have a folder for my posting pictures, family trips, disney... etc...

Monica - I am not going to ration my food until after the marathon weekend!! I am going to pay attention to portions tho!!

 

[dwheatl]

I wasn't going to post because I felt so disappointed in my weight gain. Now I see I'm not the only one.

My brother is home from the hospital again. I went to take him some pie, thinking I was clearing out my fridge some. He sent me home with cake! DS has a friend coming to visit for the next couple of days. I hope she's a big eater!

We had a nice, low-key Christmas. DH and I head to Monterey for our anniversary Friday. I'm trying to work out every day to help burn off what I'm eating.

January 2nd is my day too. Let's do this thing!

 

[HockeyKat]

Thanks for the suggestions!! I will make a photobucket account tomorrow and start transferring while the office is nice and quiet.

Can I recommit too?!? I really want to be at my under 150 goal sometime in 2008. I haven't seen under 170 since, oh, probably 2003, and I really would like to see it again. I am 10 lbs from that goal (well, I was on Friday, but I am sure that isn't going to be the case this Friday!). I would love to see that before we go to WDW at the end of Jan!

I think my true start date will be Jan 2nd. I am trying to stay pretty good until Sat/Sun, but I know that our Sun family Christmas celebration + New Year's Eve... yeah, staying good likely isn't an option!!

 

[punkin413]

tomorrow is spa day!!! we're meeting at the spa at 11:00, working out (probably a yoga class), relaxing in the jacuzzi, lunch, massage at 2:00 (50 minutes.... ), shower, then tea at 4:00. i can't wait!

ray got about halfway finished with the bathroom floor before he gave up for the night. he was picking up speed as he went though. hopefully we'll (read: he'll) finish it tomorrow night.

 

[monymony3471]

punkin; I stand in my hall ways and just beam because I DID IT.

Once you start and get over the, I hope I'm doing this right fear, it just takes off. I couldn't stop. DH had to beg me to stop, maybe cause he needed a break from the baby? LOL

Good for you, you will be so happy when it's done.

To finish off what I did, I painted the closet. All those shoe marks are gone. I decided to paint the halls the same as the kitchen color. The only issue is our hall walls continue up the stairs and into the the hallways up there, so half the house is getting a face lift.

Keeps me out of the refridgerator. This will be my weekend project.

I want this all done before I go back to school Jan 14th.

I'm so excited that we are all getting our groves back.

WE CAN DO THIS PEOPLE!

GOOD BYE EXTRA POUNDAGE!

 

[UtahMama]

I can only fit in my FAT jeans

I totally haven't been focused for a couple weeks.

YOINKS! I'm panicky.

Ooooh, a spa day, punkin!
Me and Spongie are gonna do that too Can't wait!

I ran across a very funny thread about people's MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENTS by our Winkers in case y'all need a good laugh! Laughing this hard burns calories!!!

Mornin' Peeps!!

Sorry i went MIA since Friday but you know the deal. Too many committments to others and not enough time for yourself. So here is me very belated MERRY CHRISTMAS PEEPERS!![/COLOR] I hope everyone had a wonderful and healthy holiday.

I hav so much to catch-up on but wanted to say I am thinking of everyone. I missed you guys and so did my waistline I am up 2lbs but guess it could be much worse. I am back on the wagon today and once I finish my much needed coffee I will be filling up the water jug.

We had a great Christmas and the kids' heads are still spinning from all of the excitement. Santa treated us all very well. The only mishapr to the festivities was when my baby puked all over the table and himself when we were at a very fancy restaurant with my DIL's. We were so "that" family!! Of course he was screaming and I am trying to contain the mess and am yelling for napkins. Not one of our best moments. I surprised one of our fellow patrons when he walked into the mens' room and I was standing there with DH helping him to strip and wash down baby face as best we could. Thankfully, we had a pair of pajamas in his diaper bag to change DS into otherwise he would have been in just a diaper or a very wet and smelly Santa outfit. To protect him from the pissy people in the dining room, I ended up taking him outside and walking him around until everyone else finished eating.

Ok, I am off to read up on everyone.

Fat jeans! I still have on these stupid maternity jeans! Oy! Someone had this brilliant idea when she lost the first 40 to get rid of the fat jeans and now I refuse to buy something I have no intentions of wearing for only a month.

Could be worse Wendy.

Bird, we've all be there. Sorry it happened on such a festive event. Two pounds could be water?

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY!

Remember me?

I don't know about you all but I'm feeling a little bloated and gross from the terrible eating this past week.

How much cheese, tenderloin, candy, meatballs, and shrimp can one person eat? I only have another dozen or so cookies and a peanut butter pie to finish off and I'm done.

Buttoning my pants yesterday was a stretch. I may need a rubber band today...like when I was pregnant.

Back to fresh veggies and Fiber One on New Year's Day.

Who's with me?

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYBODY!

i don't have time to read right now as i have to go get ready, but i opened up the thread to remind myself to look at it later. thanks, UM!

punkin; I stand in my hall ways and just beam because I DID IT.

i can't wait until ours is done! we want to do our guest bathroom and laundry room next. the linoleum (sp?) that came with the house is pulling away from the walls in those two rooms....just where the house settled after we had it built. anyway, i don't know how soon that will happen. the floor covering we chose for our bathroom is $40 for 24 square feet. and we've already used up almost 2 boxes in there and we're not done. and i did some figuring last night and we still have about $900 to come up with before our WDW trip in april.......

by the way, do you know how to figure square footage? we didn't know how many square feet we had in the master bathroom and we guessed that 48 square feet would be enough....apparently not!

hi, melinda! hope you had a great christmas! i'm the same way.......i still have 2 tubs of homemade chex mix and 1 big container of cookies sitting on my table. i MUST get rid of them!!!!!

Dawn, here is a square footage calculator.

Good luck with the renovations! We want to start on our bathroom next month. Fun times...

 

[HockeyKat]

Raises hand! Bloated and uncomfortable here!! I weighed this morning and about died. How is it possible to have gained SEVEN pounds since Friday!! I am ignoring it and hoping for a better number tomorrow. Geebus.

born, sounds awful. I have to admit I would probably have been one of the pissy patrons. Puking is something I just can't handle. Sounds like you handled it well, though!!

And Melinda, you said cheese... mmm cheese... man, why can't I be one of those people who can eat anything and stay skinny??

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Just a quick fly-bye to say hi! (Wow, that rhymes!)

I hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday. I'm actually glad to be back at work so I can relax! And of course there is a lot less food here.

Speaking of that, I won't be around tomorrow to weigh-in, which based on my pre-weigh in this morning that is probably a good thing. My brother-in-law is getting married this weekend in a town about 2 hours from here; my wife is one of the bride's maids and I'm an usher. It is the most unorganized wedding ever. But that's what you get when you try to plan a big formal wedding in 6 months. It took us a year and a half, and we were still scrambling at the last minute! Anyway, we'll be heading out tonight and I won't be near a computer until sometime Sunday night. So hopefully my number next week will be a little better than what I saw this morning.

Oh, and as for the Christmas challenge? How about we forget that ever happened, ok? But I'd be all for starting something new. Any ideas? Valentines Day? (I was planning on challenging myself for my birthday, which is 3 days before Valentines Day. And since not everyone celebrates my birthday, I figured Valentines Day would be the next best thing.)

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

by the way, do you know how to figure square footage? we didn't know how many square feet we had in the master bathroom and we guessed that 48 square feet would be enough....apparently not!

Is the bathroom a normal rectangle? Or is it really odd shaped? If it is rectangle, then you just multiply the length of the room by the width of the room. Then you could probably measure the length/width of the sinks and anything else that juts out in the floor to get the square footage of those objects and subtract them from the total square footage of the room.

 

[UtahMama]

We'll miss ya WIDF...and I'm sure most of us will be more than happy to
wipe the Christmas Challenge '07 out of our memories forever.

I'm deciding which lower carb/lean protein diet I'm starting (today?)

South Beach I know and love. Has any one ever heard of Kimkins? Like Atkins only lean and healthier.

I haven't had breakfast yet so I can't stand this bloated feeling another day...so I'll kick start my New Year today

Suddenly I'm more motivated than I have been in months!

hello...tread mill! How you doin'?
