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

[WI_DisneyFan]

For one glorious day earlier this week, I was under 180 (179.8 to be exact) for the first time in my adult life. Unfortunately, I gained 0.2 pounds since then (ok, I'll admit it - I snuck a piece of candy or three); but I still managed to lose 2.2 pounds this week. This brings me to a grand total of 36 pounds lost this year, an uber-grand total of 60 pounds lost; it leaves me 5 pounds from my Thanksgiving day goal and 25 pounds from my ultimate goal weight.

I hope everyone has a great weigh-in day!

Aaron, that is a cool new bling! I haven't weighed yet, so I'll post later. It may have to be after work depending on how fast I get showered and ready for the day.

Aaron - Take away my loss from last week. I'm right back at the same starting number. That would be a gain of 0.7 lbs. Blech.

I'm dreading today...soooooooo many patients, way more than usual. And a lot of them can be a little, um, frustrating?

TGIF!

Thanks for the welcome and the explanation! Guess I'll jump in and post my loss tomorrow!

Congrats on your new DD, too! Mine turned 9 weeks old yesterday! I said the same thing to my DH about how I got pg b/c I'd lost the weight! I knew it was too good to be true...not that I'm not completely have my DD2! I'd do it all over again!

I forgot to welcome you a few days ago--actually I quoted several people including you, but forgot to hit the final quote button and shut the computer down. I to just had a baby---she is almost 5 weeks old. Same as you I had just lost about 25 pounds from DS who just turned 2. Good luck with everything and post often.


I AM A SAMER!!! I am going to re weight later today and see what it says.

Saw Stacey on Tuesday and they are doing well. Just as busy as ever.

RYAN UPDATE---he was admitted into the hospital yesterday in his hometown. He is severly anemic and has lost blood. They did one transfusion yesterday morning and then another last night. They need to determine how he losing the blood. His Dr. here is in very close contact with the Dr.'s from the transplant team.

CHRISTI--hopefully I will get to visit with her this weekend. She started radiation on Wednesday.

MOMMAS A BABY QUESTION---Rebekah was never or hardly ever spitting up---this week it has been horrible. She spits up at least half of what goes in so then she is hungry earlier than usual---is this normal--from not spitting up to massive spitting up. I know I should know this but my older 2 did not much and Joshua arrived here with massive reflux--so this is kind of new to me. Thanks for any replies.

Shannon I love your TG Mickey. Where did you get it? Sorry that you do not have lets say FUN clients today. I remember when Katie started speech at the age of 2 and I just felt bad for the Therapist and Katie was good and did what the lady said to do, but was just very fidgity. Nothing like a 2 year old. Hope that you have a good day.

Happy Friday!

I've lost, um, 1.4 pounds? I can't remember. But I'm at 185.6 pounds, so after 5.6 more pounds I can be thrilled (this is kind of sad) to be in the 170s instead of the 180s. Can I manage to lose 5.6 pounds by Thanksgiving? It won't be for lack of trying, I can tell you that!

Pigget - my son (he's 9 months old now) always spit up a lot, but at first I just thought it was regular baby behavior and I ignored it. Once we started giving him solids and he was STILL spitting up I talked to the dr. - turned out he had acid reflux and he's now taking Zantac. It has helped a lot. (Why didn't I notice it? I have acid reflux myself!). Anyway - I'd definitely call the dr. today and at least ask. It could just be reflux but it's unusual that she'd go from nothing to super-spit-up so quickly. Thanks for the updates on Ryan and Christi, who are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so PROUD of you Aaron, for losing so much weight and staying on the downward trend! This is going to be an AWESOME month!

I have to insert some random personal information here: I've been watching my nephew for 50-55 hours a week for the last 5 weeks, and to be honest, it is stressful in the extreme! It's not so much that it's three kids total, it's the ages they are. Anyway, I finally got up the courage to tell my sister that I couldn't do it full time anymore. She talked to a good friend of ours from church who will be taking him 3 days a week; I'll take him the other two. THAT I can handle. It's just been getting to the point where I eat junk because it's fast and ignore cleaning my house or exercising because I'm just too tired. The amazing thing is that I have a sister-in-law with three kids under 4 years old and she's still sane! I'm looking forward to a little more time to get ready for the holidays and, shortly after that, our trip to WDW - that includes staying on the healthy weight-loss bandwagon!

SO - thanks for all your help and have a great weekend, everyone!

( Side note: for those of you that read my earlier post of the loss..i was silly and it was pre "something"...and after that i have wonderful news to report!!!!: )It is not mind blowing but its a wonderful loss for me!!!!..I lost 1.4 pounds this week. Which means i get to use my new Vera Bag that my mother bought me yesterday to keep in the closet until I "earned " it..and i get new bling!!!! woohoo..i am so happy After this stressful toxic work week..i feel like this is the best reward..But I Gotta keep on truckin! I still have a long road ahead..baby steps, baby steps!!!

funny story: i was at the mall today and was walking through a little alleyway in between barnes & noble and the actual mall. i noticed a little old man with white hair and a long white beard talking to some kids. as i got closer i noticed that his red sweatshirt said, "yeah, i'm him." he saw me looking at it and said, "i've got something for you, too!" and handed me a candy cane. then he said, "you know who i am, right?" i said, "i sure do! isn't it a little early for you?" he said, "nope.....i'm around all year...you just don't know it!" then he walked away. I THINK I MET THE REAL SANTA!!!!!! okay......just had to share that. it was a really cute and yet oddly creepy moment!

wow.. that is hilarious and creepy at the same time. i love eccentric people!

 

[punkin413]

That is kind of creepy. How did the kids react? Glad you played along.

they were VERY excited about the whole thing. it was cute.....i just sometimes wonder about people. the cynical part of me starts over-analyzing!

Dawn I love your Santa story. I admire eccentric people. I'm always been so rigid and uptight and love stories about people who are out enjoying life (doesn't matter if it's because they have a great sense of humor or are a nut-job).

you know, i don't know what this guy's deal was. but i do know that i've heard that the mall santas around here are DIVAS......and i'm not kidding. they have to campaign for their position. so maybe that was the purpose of him being out there. it's officially after halloween and these days that means it's the holiday season!

And... tomorrow at 7:30 my flight leaves to WDW!!! YAY!!!! BWV better watch out for me and my friend!

i can't believe you're going back already.....i'm so jealous!!!! HAVE A BLAST!!!!!

i'm down 1 pound today! i'm back to 2 more pounds until i'm at my goal weight. i thought about adding myself to the thanksgiving challenge but i just honestly don't know if i'll lose that 2 pounds before then. i've been between 132 and 135 since like july!

tomorrow is DH's 36th birthday. he says he doesn't want to do ANYTHING. since we've been so busy lately he just wants to stay home and relax. i did get him a red sox baseball hat though. just a little something.

hope everyone has a good friday! i'm off to redo my ADRs. since they came out with the may schedule and there's several 7:00 closings (hopefully for P&PP), i had to redo a few things. isn't planning a disney vacation the best?!???!!!??

 

[Tinkerspell]

Can I jump in on this thread too?

I've got a little over a year before our next trip, and I want to do some serious damage to my excess pudge in that time. Heck, if I do enough, I might even consider going with DH and kiddos to the water parks....

 

[DisneyObsession]

After my WI with the nurse on Wed for my life insurance, I got very depressed, but still managed to lose 4 lbs from what her scale said. However, according to my scale, I've gained 1 lb since last week, so that's what I will claim. Puts me right back to where I started. Don't think I'll hit my 5 lbs by Thanksgiving since that's right after my WDW trip! We'll see!

Punkin...Your Santa story is adorable! Sounds like he was just trying to brighten the day of some kids. However,,,why was he in the little alleyway and NOT in the main part of the mall?!?

Kat...Have fun on your trip! I know you are gone already, but I just realized you were leaving today!!! I'm down to 9 days!

Hey...Where's Wendy??? Haven't seen her around in awhile!
COME OUT..COME OUT WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!

 

[MJMouse]

-1 lb!

Hi all. I'm minus 1 for the week -- it's been a heck of a week. Work and home have both been crazy. I'll post more in a few days, but must go back to work now.

 

[Pakey]

Good morning and happy Friday peeps. Congrats to the losers, especially Aaron, that's a pretty good loss for the week and your cumulative totals are very encouraging to those of us that have a ways to go.

My loss is 0. I was good all week (except for mom's lasagne) and I did get back to working out after the flu was over but it just wasn't enough this week. I'm still doing pretty good and am happy to not have a gain. I'm confident I can make the Thanksgiving goal.

To the new peeps, welcome.

Faith

Hey! Hi Peeps! Sorry I've been MIA the past few days. I haven't even read for the past few days actually - just a crazy busy week! BUT I had to post my weigh in info, so here goes...

I was at 222.2 last week, and this week I am at 217.2! That's right. I have a loss of 5 lbs!!! I am afraid bloat will attack me next week, and I will gain, but I'll just have to do everything in my power to prevent that. This loss puts me .2 lbs away from my pre-WDW weight. And at a total loss so far of 32.8 lbs. It also puts me PAST my Turkey Day goal! But I am waiting to see what happens next week before I decide whether or not to amend that goal. I MAY end up going for another 2 lbs!

 

[UtahMama]

I gained!!!!! But I think it's water because I'm bloated feeling. I'll re-weigh later. It's up like 4 lbs. from 2 weeks ago <me every time I get on the scale LOL! I must have looked at a dough nut or brushed up against some candy, cuz I have not cheated!!!!

HOW do those folks on Biggest Loser DO it? -33 pounds in one week???? Goodness!

I could lose that much too if I amputated a limb. Or had organ reduction surgery. Who needs livers and kidneys and spleens???? Or start a nasty meth addiction (Naw, tooth retention is important to me). Or harvested tape worms in my intestines (heeeeeey, I think I'm onto something!).

I'll be back to tally the day. Sorry I didn't help the numbers for the group!

After I eat chinese.

 

[winkers]

I must confess I haven't stepped on my scale in months! And now I'm too scared to! I've had alot going on lately and just don't have it in me to worry about what I eat. But this morning at 6:30 as I was munching on a resses peanut butter cup I relized I've got to get a grip! So here I am, again. I promise some time today, I will weigh myself!

Awesome!!! I don't have a prize or anything for the first to hit their goal, but you do get a couple of these:



And one of these for good measure:



Way to go!
