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

[AnnNan]

See, this is what I'm talking about. I don't even own an iPod! I'm still lugging CD's around everywhere I go. I feel like The Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer from Saturday Night Live. "I'm just a caveman. I fell on some ice and later got thawed out by some of your scientists. Your world frightens and confuses me! I see an iPod and think 'someone trapped these poor musicians and are holding them prisoner in this small box'. But there is one thing I do know - when a man like my client slips and falls on a sidewalk in front of a public library, then he is entitled to no less than two million in compensatory damages, and two million in punitive damages. Thank you." (Ok, so maybe it's not exactly like that, but the similarities are certainly there.)

had to respond. I'm a little older than Dawn and Lynda, and I was feeling "passed by" by the whole MP3 thing but one day got it in my head I was going to get an Ipod. Ordered a refurbished nano and absolutely loved it!! It actually worked exactly like the instructions said it would. Getting my CDs uploaded was easy and I actually decided the nano was nowhere near enough so I gave it to my mom for her birthday (she's 70 and wouldn't begin to try to add music), but she is really enjoying it. I turned around and bought the 80 GB Ipod (right before the new version came out), but I'm thrilled. This is supposed to be encouraging for anyone who thinks it is beyond them. I was really impressed with how simple it was.

Ok, here are some pictures of the girls. The pictures of me I do not like one bit. Too embarrassed to show them. Another push I need to set my mind to do this diet already.

It was windy and all the hats I put on her slide over her eyes, so I just used a burp cloth.

My princesses both love to smile!

Really precious pics Monica. Prayers as you make your decisions.


Hi to everybody else!!!

Good Morning Peeps!

No time to catch-up today. I'm off to the local hospital for nursing clinicals.

I just wanted to post that I have no loss or gain sad1: on the no loss; happy on the no gain) this week. I'm promise that I will do better next week. Later Tater.

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

I love all the ipod run downs! I think I like Aaron's the best...for my taste. Which I hope does not insult you, Aaron! I would add Elvis Costello, The English Beat, The Talking Heads, Coldplay, Earth/Wind/Fire, and Squeeze. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

I do NOT have an Ipod. I'm not against them, it's just not high on my priority list. Both DD's have them. DD14 always has on the head phones and is singing something from Wicked or Hairspray or Beauty and the Beast. When I want to hear an old song, I just go to youtube!

Punkin...I love Tori Amos. We saw her in a small venue in Loo-uh-vull called The Palace a few years back and she was very good!

Monica....Your babies are beautiful! I love that little dent in Madelyn's chin! She is precious! BTW...I can just see you walking through the mall!

Fortunately, I was a little before the spiral perm phase. I was a little more in the disco era and got caught in the whole "preppy" phase in the early 80's. I was all Polo and Izod back then.

Y'ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL FRIDAY!!!

-2 lbs!!

Whoo hooty!! I had a happy scale moment this morning. (Grin) I will admit to just skimming over the past few days (work has been SUPER busy and my home computer has been super snarky with me...), but I will say thanks to all for the nice complements on my pics from earlier in the week. Also hugs and prayers to those who need them and pixie dust for all!

P.S. Mony those are some adorable little girls!!

 

[aldisneygrl]

-1.5 I am actually down more than that this morning (and very close to my pre-beach vacation weight ), but since my weigh in day for WW is on Monday, I am reporting my weight loss as of Monday. Is that the longest sentence ever?! Anyway, I'll save that reserve for next week. Hopefully there will be pretty numbers next week too. I'm gettting closer to that number I need Aaron!

Monica- Your babies are precious! Prayers being sent for your decisions your family will have to make. I guess it is a good thing you found out before you actually STARTED remodeling your kitchen.

 

[HopingToGetEngaged]

Ok... I totally need to keep myself accountable for my weight loss. While I do weigh myself every morning, I've only recently (past 4 days) started to keep track in this nifty little Excel spread sheet. So... I'm -2.5 I like seeing the scale go down! And, I got to update my WISH thingie.
Good Luck with the scales!

 

[pigget74]

I am really confused this morning. I weigh everyday sometimes twice a day. ANyway, I weighed yesterday twice and the numbers were about the same. Well I weigh this morning and it said I lost an additional 4 pounds over night. So I weigh again and it goes to only an additional 2 pound loss. So 15 minutes later I weigh and and get the first weight of the morning and then I wigh again and get another totally different weight. This is a WW scale that I bought in January or Feb. Just frustrated--I guess put me at the -1.5 I am just using the difference of the weights. Next week should be more then right

 

[MA pigletfan]

Same Same you know my name, sad because of no loss..happy because of no gain!!
I am suprisingly ok with that actually..AF--the weigh in destroyer -- is visiting this weekend and i do think i will have happy numbers next week after all the hard work i put in this week...Think Positive right? RIGHT!! So what if I have to wait an extra week to "earn" my Vera bag..its worth it!

Have a great day..it sure is a beautiful sunny fall day here in Massachusetts! and....again....GO SOX!!!!!

 

[Wonders10]

Well I am down a wopping .7 lbs!



Seriously? Yesterday morning it told me I lost 5 lbs. Then 3. Then that I had gained 1. Maybe it's time for a new scale?

Have a great day Peeps! TGIF!

I think this is great!!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

it's the song from carousel of progress that ALWAYS gets stuck in your head after riding that ride!!!

I was going to do "It's a Small World" but then I realized that I like all of you and didn't want to put you through that torture!

GOOD MORNING! I love all the ipod run downs! I think I like Aaron's the best...for my taste. Which I hope does not insult you, Aaron! I would add Elvis Costello, The English Beat, The Talking Heads, Coldplay, Earth/Wind/Fire, and Squeeze. I'm sure I'll think of more later.

I'm just surprised you'd have the guts to admit that!

Now down to business. Just as I had suspected after my not-so-good weekend, I gained 1.4 pounds this week, which is almost all of the 1.6 I lost last week. This puts me 7.2 pounds away from my Thanksgiving day goal of 175, which means I will need to average a 1.8 pound weekly loss between now and Thanksgiving. Certainly not impossible, but it does make things a little more difficult.

Hope everyone else had a better week than me!

 

[Tink-ing]

nope....they have them in georgia AND in tennessee! learn something new every day.

We have a Maggiano's here in Beantown too. The first time I ate there with a friend, we had no idea how big the portions were and we figured we'd order some takeout to share back at our room. Sooo we got penne with gravy (marinara or sauce for you non-Italians ) smothered in mozarella and TWO orders of chicken parm and of course, bread. I cannot begin to explain the pain I was in after that meal.

Well Peeps, I'm not a samer this week.

I'm a LOSER!!! I am - 3.4!!!!
Seems I'm done paying for the sins of the birthday weekend and have been redeemed by my time in the gym and forcing all that water down. Being sick the past two days probably has something to do with it too, but I've been trying to eat normally even though I've felt like crap, so that my body wouldn't turn into a weight-slinging pedulum.

Work is still crazy so I don't have much time to write but I wanted to check in and say hello and:

Monica ~ your princesses are BEA-U-TIFUL! The littlest one and her tongue! So sweet! Your family is in my prayers. Whenever I have a tough decision to make, my mantra is "Everything for a reason."

Wonders10 ~ Still keeping your class in mind. Hoping it pulls through for you.

And all of this 80's/90's discussion! I had visions of silk poet's blouses and scrunchie on top of scrunchie and Chess King running through my head!

Happy Friday!

I'm +1this week!

 

[MrsMegan]

Good Morning! Do you all have room for one more to join? I hope so!

I am new to posting on the DIS, but I have been reading for weeks now. My family and I are planning our very first WDW vacation so I have been absolutely addicted to reading these boards and learning all that I can!

I have also been trying to lose weight for far too long and have finally decided that this is it. I WILL lose this weight before our big trip! I want to be able to keep up with my children (ages 6, 5 & 3) and not tire out on them while touring the parks. I started exercising and eating right about a week and half ago, and I'm already down 5lbs!!!

I look forward to getting to know you all

Ooh, how exciting! Your first ever trip to WDW!!! Of course we've got room for you! Welcome aboard!

Seriously? Yesterday morning it told me I lost 5 lbs. Then 3. Then that I had gained 1. Maybe it's time for a new scale?

I used to go through this too. Then I'd play 'Let's Make a Deal' with the numbers in terms of what actually happened. Then I would start to get obsessed about it, in an unhealthy way. So now, this is my 'scale routine':

I weigh myself once a day (and sometimes skip a day or two). I have a digital scale (Sunbeam maybe?) and I keep it in the bathroom on the tile floor. I only weigh myself in the a.m., immediately after getting out of bed and usually in little to no clothing (TMI? I wasn't sure...every ounce makes a difference!). I pull the scale out away from the wall and turn it on, letting it zero out. I step onto the scale, try to be still. Once the number appears, I continue to stand still for another 5-7 seconds, as the numbers tend to adjust up and down a little. Once they seem to stop moving, that's it! That's the number I use. I put the scale away and don't think about it until the next day.

I figure, if nothing else, the way I use the scale is consistent, so my weigh-ins are consistent.

DH has the big video ipod. I do wish I had more room on my nano, but I LOVE the size! (And it's pink! )

Oh! And for those of us who were talking about how young FOB was...I found out last night that Pete (the bassist who started the band) is only 5 years younger than me! That makes him 28! That is NOT as young as I thought. Perhaps I should form a rock band to keep myself looking young?

GOOD MORNING!

I like some of your selections too Melinda! I can't believe I forgot Squeeze! I LOVE 'Tempted' and 'Black Coffee in Bed'! They are two of the first songs I put on my ipod.

I remember the Polo and Izod thing! I believe I had sweaters with some tiny animal logo embroided on them...worn over an oxford, of course! For some reason, that reminded me of sweater dresses! Who remembers sweater dresses?

Hang in there! You'll have that Vera bag in no time! And you'll love it! (Now I want another one.)

OMG! And scrunchies! Yes! Those were a staple.

I forgot to tell you the "rules". We weigh in Friday mornings, and come here and post them in big bold letters for all to see. You don't have to post how much you weigh (but you can if you like), just how much you've gained or hopefully lost. Then the person keeping track for the day (usually UtahMama) records it and reports our collective progress sometime late in the day or the weekend. Once again, welcome aboard! Jump right in and join the fun!

to the DIS and to the PEEPS thread. This is a great group of guys and girls. Every Friday we post our loss, gain, or stay the same. THis is done in bold and big letters. Tell us a little about yourself. Congrats on the 5 pound loss--that is great.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Duh! Forgot my weigh in info! I am down 2 lbs! That puts me at 222.2, and I believe that is 3.2 away from my Turkey Day Challenge goal!
