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

[pigget74]

I can't officially contribute to the weigh in because my running weight is on my other computer -
but I'm at 214!!! which is a total of 105 lost. and the smallest I've been since I was like in 3rd grade.

WOOOHOOOO!!!

Great job celery!!

WI... wow. And have a great weekend away!

I just renewed my WDW annual pass... SOCK! to the bank account. It makes sense for me though, as I already have trips in Nov, Jan, and May booked and we will likely do Sept again...


Hope everyone has a great weekend!

I am sooo jealous. I hate it when we first buy them b/c it hurts, but I sure do love taking all the trips on them. You sound like us last year.

What an amazing accomplishment. Many congrats to you.

Lynda - I didn't know how you wanted to be recorded, so I just left you blank for now.

I forgot! Actually, I had to really work. I was swamped today. But I have decided on my Thanksgiving goal. I want to lose 5.2 lbs by Thanksgiving! That will put me at 219. So I will be back to my 30 lb loss (gotta change my ribbon after my WDW gain ), and I can shoot for 35 by Christmas. (I'd LOVE to hit 40 lbs lost by the time we leave for DL in January. )

So this will be my starting point if that's OK Aaron. Not sure how else to do it. Thanks for keeping track!

All right, here's the lastest after our morning weigh-ins.

That spreadsheet rocks! Thanks for doing it...makes me motivated!

Wendy/UM...I can't even believe those pics! I know you will be an "after" in no time. (I'm also wondering where Eventer/Tara is )

MonyMony... about think Blue's Clue's host is hot. I remember thinking the new host (steve?) was not too shabby when I was babysitting for my niece and nephew almost daily

Dawn...I'm sure you're gone already but have a great trip. Hope you have some pics for us when you get back!

I think I was going to post something else but I have forgotten Have a great night Peeps!

Sorry for checking in so late . . .

I down -1 lb!!

7 more to go (for the challenge anyway!).

 

[aldisneygrl]

I'm proud of myself lately! I feel very blessed to have y'all as friends!

We are BLESSED to have you because you are the one who started us all on this wonderful journey!

It's been 27 hours since I last nursed. I'm relieved, and sad at the same time. Not to mention in PAIN!!!!

Madelyn has totally adjusted like a pro. I couldn't ask for a better baby. I have her crib pushed up to mine with that rail off, so our beds meet. I don't have to get up to deal with her which helps with me getting more sleep, and her. Well anyways I put her in her crib and when we woke up at 2am she was right next to me. She moved about my arms length over. Just scooted her way over to me. I was really surprised!

Glad Mom and Baby are doing fine with the weaning process!

Down 5 pds (i am really liking this tooth diet actually i hate all this pain but weight wise it is pretty cool .
i have not been able to eat sweets sad1: and everything i can eat is soft and easy to chew(so mostly soup and bread )that is my weight loss secret so my total weight is almost 40 pds so far . i would put my ribbon on but am afraid too because of the siggie police,
well today is the day i have alot to pack and load into the car once DH gets back from work . i had to take him to work this morning so he could go pick up the rental van and i am exhausted my kids are still asleep so i am gonna take a power nap be back later. have a skinny day,

Congrats on the loss, so sorry it has to be so painful. I am sure you are already gone to DL, so I hope you have a wonderful trip! Also, I LOVE your new avatar. I am a HUGE Lady and the Tramp fan!

it's gloomy and cloudy here today....but no real rain. just a mist every now and then. i think it rained last night though. it needs to rain every day for the next month to get our water levels back to normal though! anna just called me from destin and it's raining there right now. the weather forecast for tomorrow looks good though!



i'll wave too!! i'm glad it's pretty there.....hopefully it will be better than here while we're driving. although we need the rain desperately....i shouldn't complain!

my tires need replacing VERY BADLY. the inside of them is separating because the alignment is all messed up. we have very rough roads out here in the country and the alignment can get out of whack very easily. i didn't know this until i took my car in to have the oil changed this morning and they showed me. the place doesn't even sell tires so they weren't trying to scam me or anything. kinda scary!. anyway, we're taking DH's car instead.

i'll see you guys on sunday night! have a good weekend!

Praying for lovely weather for tomorrow. Remember to stay out of the water! Hope things get resolved with your car. Guess it is good you found out before you headed out on your trip. Hope you have a wonderful time at your friend's wedding.

All right, here's the lastest after our morning weigh-ins.

I'll update this sometime this afternoon after we get more numbers.

Thanks for doing that Aaron. That is SO great! I will be better by next week. Even though I was a gainer this week, I had several people comment to me at work today that it looked like I lost weight. It made me more motivated than ever. I have to tell myself that I have still lost 13 lbs. total, and that is something to be proud of. It is just hard when you don't see the numbers you want to see.

It doesn't take much caffeine to make my nerves all jangled

Wendy, thanks for posting your before and after photos! Wow, you did great! The short hair is pretty cute too

I think I need to purchase a new scale tomorrow so I can track how I'm doing. We have an expensive scale, but it just won't "lock in" and my weight can swing several pounds when I weigh myself. That's not so good for figuring weight loss. Either that or I need to start going to WW meetings again.

Cool spreadsheet, Aaron I am Excel challenged, but am getting better at it the more I use it.

Hang in there Mony

HI peeps! Congrats to all our lsoers, samers and even gaiers this week. just being here is an accomplishment I think

I forgot to quote, so lets see how my memory is!

Wendy-that before pic does not even look at all like you!! You will be at the after in no time. You are on a roll!

Aaron-love the spreadsheet. Sort of makes me wish I was losing right now so I could be on it too. Maybe I can make a maximum weight GAIN goal so I dont go overboard on halloween candy and claim the baby was wanting it, lol!

Celery- that is fantastic. Congrats on the huge accomplishment!

Hope you have a great time Punkin, although I am sure you are gone now. I cant wait to see pics. You always take some fun ones.

I have loved that show since it started! I can't wait for the Halloween special. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are my roughest days of work (usually) so I actually think about just making it to Wednesday so I can watch ghost hunters. I secretly have a crush on Grant and Steve

Well my interview went ok I think but she said she'd let me know That has me worried only because these interviews are usually only a formality and they don't turn students away. I need to have a placement already! Hope I hear back from her soon.

I've been so grumpy lately. Like this morning I was on the verge of tears and I really don't know why. I think I'm more stressed out about school/work than I realize and that is how my body is handling it I just can't wait for tomorrow to be over. I want the weekend to be here!

Time to post...let's see how my siggy looks

..........Good luck on the interview! O.k., can someone tell me how to only quote certain parts of people's posts? I am computer challenged I guess, and can't quite figure it out....

I just hit the quote button, and then delete the parts I don't want. I don't know if that is the "official" way to do it, but it works for me.

Testing...this is a quick reply....PAKEY! Way to go on the size 10's!! I know that must feel really good. I am holding on to all my size 12's, and I am almost there. (they baaaarely fit, 5 more pounds, or better yet 10 more would be perfect) Sometimes I look in the mirror in my bigger size clothes and think, Well, that's not so bad. It's pulling out my smaller sized clothes and remembering how much better they fit and how much easier it is to shop when your not trying to hide so much of yourself that helps to motivate me.

 

[majicintheair]

but it works for me.

O.k., hopefully it works for me to! Previewed post and we have a winner! Thank you!

Ok, so DH went out and purchased a well needed over due mattress for our bed. It's a pillow top. The pillow top stinks! It has this horrible odor to it.

I was in the basement with the kids when it was delivered.

I'll be on the phone tomorrow. The box spring doesn't smell nor does the underside. Just the top.


I swear this is our luck with everything.

This is my first time posting my numbers for Weigh Day. This week has been a rough week for me, I fell off the wagon for a few days. I've somehow managed to grab hold of the wagon, but I'm still trying to climb up...

Climb on up, we have all been there. Some weeks are better than others. I just try not to give up totally. Last year we were having some family issues, (I have a teenager. Need I say more?) and losing weight just seemed not to matter to me at all. My appetite is definitely controlled by my mood. I am a depression eater. I'm working on that. Things are better now, and I can focus back on myself. Life gets in the way sometimes of our best efforts. Checking in here has helped me ALOT. It's giving me accountability, support, great tips, and the knowledge that I am not the only one that feels this way. Tomorrow is another day!

Why can't anything be straightforward? Hope you get things straightened out.


OH BTW, I JUST GOT MY SIX DAY HOPPERS IN THE MAIL FOR OUR JAN. TRIP!!!! Sorry, I just had to share my excitement with my peeps!

UM- You are beautiful in both of your pictures, but you know what makes you a healthy, strong Mama! I'm a slow loser too, because I feel like I can't swear off of things that I like. I had a friend who was in Overeaters Anonymous, and she vowed (and followed through) on never touching another brownie, chcoclate chip cookie, or mocha frappucino. I'd say I can't live like that, but really, I CHOOSE not to live like that. It means slower weight loss, but right now I'm living a way that I can imagine living with forever; tracking calories, exercising at least 30 minutes three times a week, and drinking my water (I slam 24 oz. when I wake up, before I know what hits me, then 24 at work and 24 when I get home, and more when I exercise). I have a treat when I feel like it, and still am in a healthy BMI. I'm 68 lbs. lower than my highest ever weight, and 18 1/2 lbs. down from 2 years ago, so my 8 1/2 lb. loss since last Thanksgiving is also the victory of keeping off those previously lost lbs. so I think we are in the same boat.

Aaron- Love the Thanksgiving goal table. I want to keep adding to that total!

Safe and happy trips to all travelers this weekend (I'm especially thinking of Misty at DL) and everyone else, have a great weekend. We're taking DD to tour the local university tomorrow morning, SJSU, then have a church group meeting on Sunday afternoon.

BTW, stay away from the Halloween candy. Those lbs. could haunt you for ages. Spooooky!

It always makes mr happy when our tickets arrive. Makes it official to me. I am up with a sick one. Joshua woke up at midnight vomiting I feel bad for him. Hopefully it is quick.

Morning. I couldn't take the smell from the mattress anymore. I want my old one back! Bring it back!


When I enter the bed room the smell reminds me of the smell from a lingering campfire.

They don't open until 10am.

I couldn't handle that. I would have a major migraine over the smell. Hopefully it will all work out.

 

[monymony3471]

That's what I was afraid of too. I have this big body pillow that I just made sure my face was on.

My DH kept saying to me go check out the mattress and I finally did later. I think he got upset with me cause I came back down all negative about the smell. Then he smelled it for himself and I knew I wasn't overreacting. I have a nose that smells things that others don't.

How's the baby?
