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

[abish19]

It's COLD here in Michigan! I am currently wearing jeans and a sweater. I frankly can't wait for sweaters. They leave a little more to the imagination that light t-shirts. (Plus, when you wear jeans you don't have to shave your legs as much! Sorry, TMI.) The wonderful thing about colder weather is it makes me want to walk and walk and walk. I don't get hot and sweat and want to stop. So, count your blessings...

I did watch part of "The Biggest Loser" last night. That Jillian...she just seems to have a mean spirit, doesn't she? And let me say that if you haven't been fat, it's hard to understand how much of a challenge it is for those of us who are or who have been there. Not that these trainers are there to coddle, sympathize, or act as psychologist. I almost fell off the bed when what's-her-finger (the smallest gal on the blue team) lost, like, 22 pounds in a week. Then, I actually DID fall off the bed when the older man on the blue team lost 31 pounds - in ONE WEEK! Too bad I have to live a real life or I'd break loose and work out constantly, after hiring a professional chef to create delicious low-cal meals for me.

And Utahmama - enjoy your last day in the 30s! I'm willing to bet it doesn't feel TOO much different to be 40, but then again, I'm not there yet either. Will you tell us?

Yeah, it is cooler here... only 85 today!

Jillian was a fat teenager and into her early 20s... I saw an episode where she showed pictures of herself to one of the women, I think it was Kelly Minner, not sure what season that was (as I only seem to catch the Style weekend BL marathons). I think she is just a really passionate person, and really cares about her team and that can come through as meanness.

Rachel has hand-foot-mouth disease. The only thing she will eat is cold sandwich meat and ice water. She seems to have a light case so far.

That is my biggest fear, that the daycare will get this and just spread it around. How did she get it? Hope it goes away quickly

I have been pretty good for the last 2 days gone to the gym and worked out a lil did not stay long but at least it is a start. i have a major headache this morning my kids gave me a bunch of carp this morning getting ready for school so my day started out screaming at them . which woke up DS4 who woke up DS2 who does not usually wake up till 10ish or is the crankiest child so i feel like it will be a long rough day because i am groggy and tired.. i have been drinking water and had only 1 soda yesterday i am trying , my hardest problem is at night i have to take my estrogen and other medicine and have to eat something but i always forget to take care of myself and end up taking it at 10-11 then i make horrible food choices. and i can't take it in the morning because i get sick , i definately need a diet soda today to get going but i will drink some water first. kiddos want to be fed maybe they will go back to sleep for an hour ..

I HATE headaches. And I won't take anything when I'm pregnant or nursing. Hopefully you'll get some quiet time to get it under controll. Remember that the scale doesn't have to move in order for you to lose weight. Just don't get discouraged. Keep working at it and it will pay off!


WHO ORIGINALY SAID HERE: "When I wonder if the daily struggle is worth it, I remember what giving up looks like. I may bot be the perfect size I envision, but I am so much better off than if I didn't try at all."

This is my mantra. I've read this a thousand times while walking on the tread mill. It's posted right next to it.

Hi Peeps!

Cool day here in Buffalo too...in the 60's! I'll be pulling out my jeans as well, I think. However, after a horrendous storm last night, the sky is clear & beautiful!

I am getting sooo frustrated about this weight thing. I am working out 3x's a week, eating well and this week the scale isn't moving! I really need it to move! I'm not eating carbs, just protein & veggies for the most part. The only thing I didn't give up is my FF hazelnut creamer in my coffee. I'm addicted! I have 8 1/2 more weeks until I leave for Disney and have a pair of capris I really want to wear while I'm there! I know it will budge, but I'm just frustrated today. <vent over>

Hey remember what giving up looks like! Perservere woman!

That was sooo sad! She seemed to have no energy whatsoever and wasn't even that entertaining. I really feel sorry for her, as she has just wasted her talent.



So, to lose weight you should be eating LESS than you are burning??? I'm confused....



I pray for a speedy recovery for Rachel. Be careful with the rest of the family...this is contageous!

I totally debated about that in the shower this morning. But I caved! Ha!

Sorry, TMI.) The wonderful thing about colder weather is it makes me want to walk and walk and walk. I don't get hot and sweat and want to stop. So, count your blessings...

My BFF and I will be walking next week every night! My Dr.'s apt is Oct. 2. I hope to get the ok to dive right back in here. Watch out!

MY dad lost 16 lbs his first week of weight watchers with no exercise. If you are extremely obese and make a drasic change it comes off fast in the beginning.My dad lost over a hundred lbs in 6 mths.Too bad it didn't stay off,he still had a way to go too.

That is my biggest fear, that the daycare will get this and just spread it around. How did she get it? Hope it goes away quickly

We aren't sure where she got it.Its going all over our town but I haven't heard of anyone at our daycare or the preschool having it.

 

[punkin413]

Whatcha gonna buy...

just the trip essentials.....camcorder film, blister band aids, gum, stuff like that. but it's DISNEY trip essentials....therefore it's photo-worthy and will be on my pre-TR probably sometime tomorrow!

i can't believe it's sweater weather in some places. i was talking to anna in the gym parking lot today at like 5:15 and we were both SWEATING. but i hate cold weather so i'm glad it doesn't get that way here so early!

Hey everyone,

Whoa, was today a long day! Hearing screenings all morning, a new patient eval, then 6 clients back to back. I'm pooped!

Vent about the crush, who isn't so much a crush anymore. I called him Monday night, got his voicemail, and left a very casual message asking if he wanted to do lunch tomorrow because we are both off for the Jewish holiday (my office is closed and our school is closed). Totally casual, not even so much a date as 2 friends having lunch. And the jerk has not even bothered to call me back! Very annoying. I know he isn't as OCD as I am about carrying his phone with him and checking messages, but I'm pretty confident that he has heard them at some point between Monday and now. What makes me even more annoyed is that instead of calling to say he can't make it, doesn't want to make it, or whatever, he is choosing to ignore my call and pretend it never happened. The lightbulb just went off for me this past week or so and this really did me in. I had thought my feelings were fading and we weren't chatting on the phone as much and it just seemed like I was forcing something that wasn't there. Well not anymore. It's not there anymore and I'm getting over it. It was semi-fun while it lasted. But now I don't want to see him on Monday because I'm gonna feel like an idiot for asking him out and he didn't call me back. Oh well.

Gosh, I just want a real boyfriend. Why is that so difficult?

I'll be around for a bit, I love a good party!

Hi everyone! What a BUSY couple of days!

Kat, thanks for the Jillian Update. I didn't know anything about her history...maybe she's passionate BECAUSE she used to be heavier. Makes sense. And after considering it a little I think maybe she tries to get her team mad, because anger can be a huge motivator. Clearly, for her, being healthy/thin/incredibly strong is better than Pepsi and chocolate-covered pretzels (or whatever her weaknesses are.). I'm thinking twice!

Wonders - Sorry about your almost-crush-possible-date-now-not-really-much. I know you're worth having someone who is NUTS about you, chasing you around town, knocking down your door, proposing marriage and a LOVELY honeymoon to WDW! Still doesn't help today, of course. Have some DIS therapy, free of charge!

Punkin, I'm going to read your pre-trip report! I say an enormous yes to anyone who will help me get a little pixie dust around here!

UM - We're all ready to throw you a virtual party! One of these years we'll meet at WDW and have a party wherever your heart desires it!

So happy to be a DISappearing Peep! (Now, which part is disappearing? Can anybody tell?)

 

[c4alymom]

I haven't posted since way back on page 58!!!

BUT...a little update. I had 50 lbs to lose and I have lost 30!!!! I am so close! I know I don't "know" any of you, but just wanted to share!

IT'S A BIG DAY FOR OUR THREAD MAMA.....
HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY, WENDY!​
