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

[DznyDreams]

Good morning! I was invited to check out this thread and told it was okay to join. hug: Thanks, Dene’.) I do hope you all don't mind.

My name is Diane, I'm from Texas, and weight has been a struggle for me all my life. Eleven weeks ago I decided to re-join Weight Watchers for the ump-teenth time. Yet, in some indescribable way, this time really IS different. My attitude is different, and I truly want to see my goal weight for the first time in 39 years! (BTW, that's my age.)

I have been taking Alli since it became available on the store shelves. I have never used drugs in my weight loss efforts before, but at the time I chose to “give it a try” I felt as if I had reached the point of being scary overweight. (320, and I'm only 5'2"! ) I needed a major jump start, and it seems that Alli is doing that for me. Right now I am choosing not to worry about the possibility of health risks that may or may not be linked to Alli in the future. My plan is to stay positive and focused on my goal. So far I’ve lost 37 pounds. I still have at least 148 more to go, and eventually, I will ditch it all.

Today is weigh-in day, and as usual, I’m nervous. I do not step on the scale between WW meetings, so there is a surprise in store for me every Tuesday. Right now I’m using “mental rehearsing” to prepare for a gain. If this happens, it is not because of my food choices. I added weight training to my exercise program this week, and I know that muscle weighs more than fat and all that jazz.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know all of you, and to becoming just another one of your many "disappearing peeps!"

I would never bring him back to a shelter. He is a shelter dog already and as of our adoption last October, he had already had 2 other owners and he wasn't even two yet. He is just a good boy who wanted some love. I just don't know what to do

Thanks...

I figured that wasn't the case, i just had to say it...please don't think i was accusing you or anything I know people have their reasons, otherwise there wouldn't be shelters and we would never be able to adopt all those wonderful animals ...still thinking of you and hoping that it works out!

superman may be different in georgia than it is in new england. i know the superman ride in kentucky is a "drop" ride, the one where the girl recently had her legs cut off because a cable broke. we have one of those in georgia but it's called acrophobia and i DON'T do it! the superman ride here is a roller coaster where your feet are locked in and then you're tilted horizontal to the ground.....so fun! like you're flying! here's a link to a video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu1GEu5Ks3Y

the only reality shows i watch are BB, AI, SYTYCD and occasionally survivor. i can't get into the rest of them. i may try biggest loser though....i've heard some good things about it. i used to watch the real world until somewhere around the las vegas cast. now all the people just annoy me. it's like the first thing they think when they get there is "where's the alcohol? and who can i hook up with next?" it's just gross.

Our superman in NE is just a MASSIVE coaster with this crazy nasty 100 ft. drop or something absurd..NOT for me...i am such a wuss..the most hair-raising ride I go on is RR at Mgm...
I second what you said about the Real World, its like a televised Meat Market!
OH SIDE NOTE: "Biggest Loser, Where are they now" is airing next week..i think its a new show to check up on last years contestants before the new season begins..might be interesting!

Some other favorite treats are the 100 cal packs (ice cream, cupcakes, etc) as they limit my portion for me. Hungry Man makes a 540 calorie chicken and cheese fry meal that was yummy, although it does have tons of fat. A happy meal will also do, at 500 cals for the 6 mcnugget variety. Or a KFC chicken breast meal, throw out the skin and biscuit, with mac&cheese and mashed potatoes/gravy, also 500 calories. McD's ice cream cone is only 150 and a good treat, too.

Hope your night is better than your day!

nice ideas Kat!

AAAAAaaaack! Somebody shoot me! I'm a horrible mother. I planned a trip to DISNEYWORLD!! BUT I just dont understand dd CANT get on a plane... ever... again!

Some days are like this!!

aaaawwww...

Just a quick post before I turn in to say that I updated my trippie again!

yay!

Punkin....Did you say: "the only reality shows i watch are BB, AI, SYTYCD and occasionally survivor." Cause I think that's quite a few since I don't watch any. Unless you count What Not to Wear? Oh! Did you see the reunion show they had last week where they had 8 former make-overs come back? It was good!


LYNDA...I'll be over to catch up on your TR this morning if I can.

I saw that WNTW Melinda! It was really good! I really liked seeing Melanie again (the red-headed dancer). I was wondering how she was doing because I see her on SYTYCD now.

I keep forgetting to post this! DH has started a pre-trip report for our September trip! He beat me to it!

Welcome Diane!!! The more the merrier!! I am excited that we have an Alli user... I am thinking of trying Alli w/ my DH when we get back from our Sept WDW trip. I know that the 2-3 weeks that I am likely to be off the diet will put at least 5-10 lbs back on, and I am hoping that it will jumpstart me and esp. DH who has more to lose. Have you had any effects from it? I already eat a 1200 cal diet that is fairly lowfat (30-40g a day) and exercise 4-6 days a week (30-45 min of intense cardio, weights twice a week).

I feel better today and am back at work... not at 100% (more like 70) but at least well enough to be here. I am thinking of working out even though I know I probably shouldn't... just a light cardio workout though.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

 

[MJMouse]

Welcome to all the newbies! Join right in -- this is a friendly place.

Long ago and many pages back someone (Kat I think) posted that they had apple slices with calorie-free caramel. Well with September coming quickly and apple season on it's way, I want to find some of this calorie-free yumminess. However, I keep looking and looking at the grocery store, but can't find anything but light or fat free. Maybe I misunderstood or "misremembered"???

If you know about this mythically-delicious-sounding-fall-apple-snacking-calorie-saver, could you share the brand and maybe where to find it?? I don't want to have to do more just to have my favorite fall treat!

TIA!

 

[punkin413]

Okay everybody...I really need some motivation! I'm having a bad day -

hope your day got better yesterday! the suggestions from kat about "snacky" food were great. i also love go to go chick-fil-a and get a kids chicken nugget meal with a fruit cup when i need a fast-food fix!

Punkin....Did you say: "the only reality shows i watch are BB, AI, SYTYCD and occasionally survivor." Cause I think that's quite a few since I don't watch any. Unless you count What Not to Wear? Oh! Did you see the reunion show they had last week where they had 8 former make-overs come back? It was good!

gimme a break......that's only 4! and compared to how many reality shows are out there, that's not too bad. plus they're not like normal TV shows that play year-round. usually they only last like 3 months at the most. i haven't seen that what not to wear reunion show....i might try to check it out! i used to watch that show religiously, but i haven't watched it probably in a year or two. no real reason why......just hasn't fit into my schedule lately. i'm def. watching the DISer episode though!

Good morning! I was invited to check out this thread and told it was okay to join. hug: Thanks, Dene’.) I do hope you all don't mind.

WELCOME!!!! and congrats on the 37 pounds....that's awesome!

glad you're feeling better! go light on the cardio - the worst thing you can do is get too hot and then you'll feel like poop again!

speaking of feeling like poop, that's me today! we went out last night with my dad/brother and had mexican. i overdid it on the margaritas. i think now that i've changed the way i eat and never eat big meals any more, but smaller meals/snacks more frequently, that my stomach has gotten smaller and therefore pretty much REJECTS the alcohol in my stomach if i drink more than 2 drinks. it wasn't drunk, but i got sick. really weird. in my 31 years i'd only gotten sick twice from drinking before i changed my eating habits. in the last six months i've gotten sick twice and i wasn't even close to being drunk both times! very strange. it's not a big deal because i'm not a big drinker.....i've just got to remember from now on to limit it to 2 drinks.

i'm sitting in court right now and hoping to be finished soon so i can go home and take a nap before i take my brother to see incubus tonight for his birthday. i need at least an hour of sleep if i'm gonna be able to remotely enjoy the show!

hope everyone has a good tuesday!

Oh and I hope all the sick peeps have a better day today!
Today is a new day after all.

 

[abish19]

Welcome Diane! I love this thread...

Thanks especially for all of the encouragement yesterday! After my Post of Frustration, I went for a nice loooong walk (listening to the Dis podcast!) and I felt much better. I totaled 90 minutes of walking yesterday, which is a lot for me. I know I need more weight training/muscle toning, so today I'll squeeze in my 20 minute Pilates video and maybe do some arm stuff. (What does that mean? "Arm stuff?" Honestly.)

Disneyfreak, I love your trip report! I wish my DH was as, um, committed to WDW and all things Disney as I am. Fortunately he has other good qualities that make up the difference. He doesn't necessarily "understand" my obsession but at least we still go!

This weekend our neighborhood is having a block party. I'm sure it will be fun, but since our house is right next to the "host" house, we're doing all sorts of little "picky" things to get it looking **** and span. I'm off to edge the driveway and pull weeds out of...lots of places.

Keep it up everybody! We're all doing AMAZINGLY well, all things considered. Every other commercial on TV is food-oriented. While watching Fat March last night, one of the girls said "This is all really in your mind" and I realized SHE'S RIGHT! SO much of this whole endeavor is mental and emotional. So use your Peeps to your advantage!

 

[HopingToGetEngaged]

Well, I might as well jump in with both feet. My name is Gina, and please excuse the log in name. I'm no longer hoping to get engaged- he broke up with me a week ago. After 5 1/2 years. And then told me to cancel our Disney trip. With 30 days left to go. I've been a longtime lurker on this thread and have been following the WW program for a week. Well... untill he broke up with me. Now, I just can't eat. While, yes, I'm losing weight- it's not healthy, and not the way I want to do it. I am so heart broken, that even thinking about food makes me want to yack.
Anyway, you guys are all so supportative of not only weight loss, but in every other aspect of life. I hope that once I get my want for food back that things will get a bit better.
Good Luck with the scales this week!

GOOD MORNING!

I finally got up early-ish!

Noni....So happy you're liking the new job!! That's great that it will take place during your "temptation hours". I do better on eating/exercising on the days I work. Makes you get into a routine.

Good for you! and thanks for the suggestion for dd - I have mentioned the tiny M&M's I'll buy some today!!

Shannon....No advice just sorry you're not getting more feedback. Don't stress! Maybe she feels that you are so good that you don't need a lot of supervision!

Dont give up, vent here, stay positive there - dont let the bad guys get you down, its all part of the initiation process - stay focused on your goal, you've got it going on!! just ask any of us!!


Sandy....Would DD like a pen pal or email pal? Maybe one that she could meet in Disney World!? OOO! Here's another thought, I could drive to Indy and we could exchange daughters. My DD would finally get to fly and your DD would be sentenced to 14 hours in the car with a 7 year old brother!!! That'd teach her that flying rules and driving drools!

works for me!! I'll PM dd has her own gmail account - its her name so I'll PM you - dd loves email pals - she also has IM - but I control who is on her IM - its having those older brothers in college - we like IM'ing them, and with DS hard of hearing, we let DD IM... but like I said, we control it, we see who and what she is IMing (for the most part!) I had a message board gf ask for an email friend for her DD as she was going thru a divorce - dd and her still IM, and call - its a great thing - DD needs all the friends she can get!! And if your dd gets to know my dd, maybe she can persuade her!! Thanks Melinda!!

Punkin....Did you say: "the only reality shows i watch are BB, AI, SYTYCD and occasionally survivor." Cause I think that's quite a few since I don't watch any. Unless you count What Not to Wear? Oh! Did you see the reunion show they had last week where they had 8 former make-overs come back? It was good!

Hells Kitchen, Top Chef, Next Foodnetwork Star, Survivor, Next Top Model, HGTV Design Star, amazing Race, Fat March, Biggest Loser... of course I quit watching BB due to the producers over producing... but if you MISS ANYTHING or want spoilers - check out my favorite TV message board!! http://www.tvclubhouse.com/forum/messages/156/156.html (oops forgot to say I loved What not to wear reunion - but they all should've gotten at least $500 shopping card!!) and I wont be watching Kid Nation - They are hyping it themselves because word out is its not that good, so they are highlighting the drama in order to get ratings!!

Abish....I am not a stress eater but more of a bored eater. How many times a day can one woman open the fridge? But. My new "bag of chips" or "box of Cheez-its" as it were, is spinach salad. I keep a bag of spinach in my fridge all the time and I know that any time I need to occupy my mouth, I can dump out a huge mound of spinach, squeeze on some Kraft Lite Three Cheese Ranch and go to town. This also applies to a bowl of Fiber One cereal or a carton of yogurt. Now you may not like spinach, cereal or yogurt BUT....find something healthy that you do like that's easy to reach for, no preparation needed, and get the bad food that's easy to reach for out of the house.
I stopped eating spinach when the ecoli thing came out - big thing on spinach its preventive of macular degeneration - better for eye health than carrots!!

Danielle....I can see those fresh little kinder faces now! Hope you have a great first week and nobody misses mommy too much. And about that nightmare.
I'm jealous!! Love those fresh starts!! and WOOHOOTY on the gym!! You keep it up!!

Kat....No rush on the itinerary. Today or tomorrow is fine and the briefer the better really.

feel better Kat - take the time, slowly work up to your workout - dont overdo, or beat yourself up!!

LYNDA...I'll be over to catch up on your TR this morning if I can.

Me too - and now your dh!! I have been staying away as I spend too much time on the Dis as it is!! This laptop isnt good at letting me post, so I've been reading more lately!!

Wendy....Get the gross lardy cupcakes outta the house! Feed them to the daycare buddies!
AXE the unhealthy - you owe yourself more!! YOU can do it, YOU are worthy!!
FIDGE!?! PIXIE!!?! DENE!!?!

Everybody else.....
back at ya!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Fidge and feel better!! Take care of you!! (Talked to Brigette, she's doing ok - but was in the hospital for pnemonia!! Her dh hooked her computer upstairs for her, so she is in full reading mode, then rest mode, not much strength to post!! So you have my heartfelt prayers - and esp to keep the poison in the cigs so you are NEVER tempted again my friend!! and I'll have to PM you dd vmk name one day!! I keep forgetting!)

I'm embarrassed to say I still have yours to read. I think I read the pre-trip part. I've yet to read about your trip. I've been catching up on my tr's one at a time. That way I finish.

That Harry Potter book put me behind.

[eeyore45]

and once again Dr. OZ and Dr. R. the You on a Diet authors were on Oprah - and once again - I feel inspired!! So I am going to post their simple do's - TOGETHER WE CAN!!! WE CAN!!

Walk Every DayDr. Roizen says you absolutely must walk at least 30 minutes every day. "There's a hurricane? You walk 30 minutes a day," he says. "Earthquake—30 minutes a day. Tornado—30 minutes a day. Snowstorm—30 minutes a day."
Diet
As Dr. Roizen says, "food is medicine." For example, a recipe for whole wheat pizza dough with tomato paste can help dramatically reduce your risk of cancer. Dr. Oz also says that salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that can stabilize your heartbeat, lower blood pressure and help you to live longer.
Exercise and Weight Training
Stretching, weight-lifting and crunches should all be incorporated into your fitness routine. "A lot of folks think about how fast they run, but you've got to stay limber," Dr. Oz says. "You've got to do some weight training."

According to Dr. Oz, the average 30-year-old woman should be able to do 45 bent-leg push-ups (and five fewer every following decade of her life), and the average 30-year-old man should be able to do 35 regular pushups (and five fewer every following decade of his life). "Those should be national benchmarks," Dr. Oz says.

We are so worth this - these are simple changes people!! Hang on - together WE CAN!!

Welcome Newbies - its wonderful to have you on board - just jump in, read, post, participate, give what you can, take what you need!! Thanks for your support!!

AAAAAaaaack! Somebody shoot me! I'm a horrible mother. I planned a trip to DISNEYWORLD!! BUT I just dont understand dd CANT get on a plane... ever... again!

drama. drama. drama.

she has been crying all afternoon!! (I showed her a milkshake from Tony's from the Dining review thread - and the Pick a pearl thread) I told her she "wont" get on a plane... she has to decide! I got her the travel wrist motion sickness bands, I told her about dramamine, and emitrol (nausea medicine) "but I CANT take medicine, it tastes terrible")

drama. drama. drama.

BUT if she makes up her mind, there is no way they'll let us on a plane with her screaming - and trust me, she'll scream if its not her idea!

DH and I may have to ditch the dd!!

So I make a great heart healthy meal. DH has me pick him up from work at 6:30... I'm starving. A salad (homemade dressing heavy on the balsamic, touch of olive oil), tilapia fish fillet, and wild rice... he comes downstairs... he has to go for a run!!

DD goes over to a friends house!!

Some days are like this!!

I say use the old A-Team method. You remember how they used to knock B.A. (Mr T) out by feeding him a burger or milk laced with something? Worked like a charm every time, and he was 275 pounds of muscle! (Ok, I'm not really suggesting you drug your DD! But that is the first thought that popped into my head when I read your post.)

Good morning! I was invited to check out this thread and told it was okay to join. hug: Thanks, Dene’.) I do hope you all don't mind.

My name is Diane, I'm from Texas, and weight has been a struggle for me all my life. Eleven weeks ago I decided to re-join Weight Watchers for the ump-teenth time. Yet, in some indescribable way, this time really IS different. My attitude is different, and I truly want to see my goal weight for the first time in 39 years! (BTW, that's my age.)

I have been taking Alli since it became available on the store shelves. I have never used drugs in my weight loss efforts before, but at the time I chose to “give it a try” I felt as if I had reached the point of being scary overweight. (320, and I'm only 5'2"! ) I needed a major jump start, and it seems that Alli is doing that for me. Right now I am choosing not to worry about the possibility of health risks that may or may not be linked to Alli in the future. My plan is to stay positive and focused on my goal. So far I’ve lost 37 pounds. I still have at least 148 more to go, and eventually, I will ditch it all.

Today is weigh-in day, and as usual, I’m nervous. I do not step on the scale between WW meetings, so there is a surprise in store for me every Tuesday. Right now I’m using “mental rehearsing” to prepare for a gain. If this happens, it is not because of my food choices. I added weight training to my exercise program this week, and I know that muscle weighs more than fat and all that jazz.

Anyway, I look forward to getting to know all of you, and to becoming just another one of your many "disappearing peeps!"

Welcome! I'm also on my 2nd or 3rd attempt at WW. I've lost on it before, so I known it works. But then I stop, and while I don't gain the weight back I don't lose it either. But something really clicked this time around (I like to think it was these Peeps) and I have really dedicated myself to this. It has been 8 months, and I haven't fallen off the wagon yet. I'm even exercising on a daily basis, which is a huge accomplishment. So far, so good. I know that if you stick with us here, you'll have success!!!

Anyway, you guys are all so supportative of not only weight loss, but in every other aspect of life. I hope that once I get my want for food back that things will get a bit better.
Good Luck with the scales this week!

and once again Dr. OZ and Dr. R. the You on a Diet authors were on Oprah - and once again - I feel inspired!! So I am going to post their simple do's - TOGETHER WE CAN!!! WE CAN!!



We are so worth this - these are simple changes people!! Hang on - together WE CAN!!

Oh don't you just love them? They make sense.

Lazy (in Utah)? Exercise 30 minutes on the treadmill!

Tired? Exercise 30 minutes on the treadmill!!!

Kids piss you off? Exercise 30 minutes on the treadmill!!!

I think I get it!

But I've only done 10 minutes at a time, 2 or 3 times a day. It's OK! My treadmill has a drink holder and a book holder and is positioned in front of my bedroom tv. NO excuses!


Sandy!!!! You are so good to have here! I totally say, DRUG your dd with something your dr. can prescribe. Or follow through with the leaving her with whatever relative so NEXT time she'll know you mean business! That totally sucks!!!! It totally is HER choice though. Screaming on an airplane is not an option.

Well, I might as well jump in with both feet. My name is Gina, and please excuse the log in name. I'm no longer hoping to get engaged- he broke up with me a week ago. After 5 1/2 years. And then told me to cancel our Disney trip. With 30 days left to go. I've been a longtime lurker on this thread and have been following the WW program for a week. Well... untill he broke up with me. Now, I just can't eat. While, yes, I'm losing weight- it's not healthy, and not the way I want to do it. I am so heart broken, that even thinking about food makes me want to yack.

That's the easiest diet I've ever heard of! SOOOO sorry about the break up, that sucks! Try to eat something healthy...a little something. Even if you don't feel like it.

NO Disney Trip???? Oh NOOOOO! Can you take a girlfriend instead???

to all you new people! Glad to have you!!!

Lynda...I checked out DH's TR and even posted! Can't wait until he writes more!

Abish...Hope you are feeling better today! We have all been there and totally understand! Vent Away!!!

Hoping...Glad to have you! I know food is "unappealing" right now, but you really should be eating "something". Stick around, we'll help you as much as we can!

Life has slowed down for me now that DD's wedding is over and DS is back at school. DH is now working as much overtime as he is able to help with the bills we accumulated from the wedding. So, nights are quiet and I am trying to get something to keep me busy. I am starting a quilt for my grandson, so that's something. Also going to a Turbo Jam class tonight, which I'll be doing Tues/Thurs and maybe Sat mornings. Guess I'll keep myself busy after all.
