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

[Toot Sweet]

Hey, friends! Four days and I am still on the wagon!



Pakey, yes! I finished Twilight the day I started it!! I didn't start book two yet, maybe tomorrow though! I am LOVING the series so far! Thanks so much for recommending it, you guys!

Wendy, I did not know that Stephenie Meyer is LDS. Cool! And did you see who they cast in the Twilight movie? I think the leads are AWESOME choices. Especially Cederic Diggory!!

I just wanted to let you guys know that I had DH take all of the Sees candy and put it somewhere else and then tonight I begged him to get some out for me and I had 2 pieces. Then I got irritated with him for enabling me and told him tomorrow he has to hide it for good or burn it or something.

It's really annoying to be married to such a nice guy. I wish he would have said that my big rear end didn't need those 2 pieces of candy. He does not care that I'm plumpy and it's even more annoying that the man weighs the same as he did 25 years ago.

Kat Thanks so much for the breakfast ideas. You have no idea how much it's going to help me out. I'm going to the store tomorrow. I think if I can start the day off right, it will help me to stay on track the rest of the day (and getting rid of that candy once and for all will help too).

Bonnie Are you done with that Twilight book yet? It's been a day now.

So I'm going to say good morning right now and beat all of you to it. I've never got to be the first one to post in a day.

Anytime!! I don't always practice what I preach, but I have a lot of good menu ideas. I am totally a foodie and have to find low-cal alternatives to my favs.

Mr Kat is the same as me... looks at food and it goes directly to the gut. I am not sure if that is better or worse than someone who doesn't struggle.

Hello!

I wanted some motivation to start off the New Year. This thread has been around forever WOW! I was just wondering how much weight in total you guys have lost as a member of the disappearing peeps! Lets hear about all your good work!!!!

This weekend went great (so far!...tonight another story going to a concert tonight). My mother has lost 40 pounds on ww and has kept it off for over 15 years..i dont know why i didnt try it sooner. So far it has been working for me..I have 24 extra points until wednesday..so maybe i will use them on a drink or two tonight

Happy New Year to all!!!

Looking forward to reaching my goal with all of you.

I lost about 40 lbs since joining this thread in early 2007. I am still at about the same although I haven't lost anything since my late Sept WDW trip. I still have about 30 to go.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I'm so sorry if I made any Peeps worry! I've been busy running around for the holidays and cleaning up from the holidays, and last Friday and Saturday a friend and I went to Chicago. (Which meant I was going in to work really early last week to make up time.) We had a blast! We actually went up for an event where we got to meet Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy, and Ashlee Simpson was there too! It was really quick, but really cool! We had our picture taken with Pete, which I'll post once I do the redneck scanning technique. After that, we went to a concert - The Hush Sound, which is a small Chicago band. And we went shopping the next day before heading home. Once we got home, we went bowling with our DH's, and yesterday DH and I went out to make some post-Christmas exchanges.

Anyway, we aren't doing too much tomorrow, so hopefully I'll be able to get caught up a little. I'm also trying to get my 2008 photo calendar for work done tomorrow. People have actually been asking if I have a new one yet. My calendar was very popular this year. (I made it on shutterfly.)

And we have LOTS of prep to do this coming weekend to be ready for our Disneyland trip! We fly out on the 10th!!! I can't believe it!

More later! Love and miss my Peeps!

Happy New Year!

What is this book Twilight you all are talking about?

Back on the wagon: Step 1: I really wanted to sit down and grab those CHIPS off the table but I got the grapes out of the fridge instead.

WI DisneyFan: I remember that March 07 post. Thanks for the boost.

I know we dont have to post our weight but I think it will help me be accountable to me.

I am 5 feet even and currently weigh 176.0.
Goal # 1 Lose 10 pounds by March 14 for Scale Back Alabama.
(Happy Birthday to me!)
Goal weight: 130-135.
(All the BMI charts and WW, etc "recommend" my goal weight to be 112 which would be ok if I were 18 again.)

So I'm off to get started on a healthier me-

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Just wanted to say thanks for all the support over the last year. People look at me funny when I say I need to see my online friends. Have a blessed day.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE! ​

I'm giving myself one more day to finish that peanut butter pie and then I'm back on board. (That sounded kind of stupid....why do I have to finish that pie?)

Tomorrow is the day!

Purina Dog Food Diet

Horrified, she asked if I ended up in intensive care because the dog food poisoned me. I told her no; I stepped off a curb to sniff an Irish Setter's
butt and a car hit us both. I thought the guy behind her was going to have a heart attack, he was laughing so hard!
...................................................................................................


So who's up for the dog food diet???

I'm just getting caught up with all the reading and wanted to thank you for the great laugh. It's a wonderful way to start off the New Year.

Getting In Shape in 2008!

That's my motto.

Look for it!

Skinny Skinny vibes to you this happening New Year.

Oodles of strength and support surround you.

Keep on moving don't stop!

LMO - I've lost ~40 pounds since joining here towards the beginning of this year.
And just to give myself a little kick in the pants to get going in the right direction again, I'm going to re-post something that I first wrote back in March when I dipped below the 200 mark for the first time in about 5 years, just so I can remember how good it can feel to reach your goals.


I hope everyone has a very happy and skinny New Year!

Thanks for posting what you learned. I've never really taken the mindful eating practices seriously, until lately. In the past, I've always fooled myself with the "I deserve to have what I want" mentality, yet what I want is not what I have -- an unhealthy body image. I guess it's a long overdue recognition that self denial is not denial at all. It is making healthy choices and sticking to goals because we deserve to succeed. Good luck to everyone in the New Year and thanks for sharing your successes, and temptations.

DAWN--how many EXPO reviews have you done to make the amount that you have. Have you had to go and get people to view your stuff or something like that or has it just been by chance? Thanks

i think i'm right at 40 videos. basically i just reviewed all my DVDs. next i'm reviewing all my CDs (which could take awhile!). but keep in mind that's been over 2 months. i really haven't spent as much time as i could on it. DVD reviews are $5 each. i think i did a couple of travel reviews, too, which used to be $10 each (when i did them) but are now only $5.

I'm so sorry if I made any Peeps worry!

no need to apologize! we just missed you. cool that you got to meet pete wentz. did he have makeup on?

Happy New Year, everyone! Do you guys have big plans? We may go see National Treasure 2.


It's gonna be a SKINNY year for us all...I just know it!!

Hi! 9 more days for you too? Woo Hoo

Glad we found you.

 

[punkin413]

Happy New Year, everyone! Do you guys have big plans? We may go see National Treasure 2.

i'm spending the day taking down my christmas decorations and organizing and putting away all my work files for 2007. fun stuff!

i would want to see that movie except i don't think i can take more than 10 minutes of nicolas cage's voice!

Happy New Year Peeps!

It's been crazy since we've arrived home.
We had about 20 people over last night for dinner & fireworks. Saturday, I spent most of the day cleaning, unpacking & then visiting with family & friends. Sunday during the day we went to Indiana for fireworks. Sunday night I spent nearly 3 hours washing 10 loads of at the laundry mat. Our dryer quit working the day before we left for Disney World. Today, we are going to my husband's cousins home for a steak dinner. Yay! No cooking. BTW, I slept in til 11 o'clock. YIKES! My day is nearly gone.

I'm working on a mini trip report. I'll try to post it within the next couple of days.

It's good to see everyone getting re-motivated toward their weight-loss efforts. Hopefully, some of your motivation will rub off on me. After our trip to the World I'm 6 pounds heavier.

to the new peeps! It's good to have you.

to those that need it. I'm behind some don'tknowish pages (with the exception of the last 5) & I'm not going to try to catch up. If anything major (or minor & you just want to tell me about it) happened while I was gone please do tell, otherwise I won't know. Pathetic I know!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

no need to apologize! we just missed you. cool that you got to meet pete wentz. did he have makeup on?

I missed you guys too! He did NOT have makeup on! He DID have this on though.

The event was called Jolly Old Saint Pete. I thought he looked good. (Read: I attempted not to drool because Ashlee was there too. ) That's a photo I took of a polaroid BTW. I thought it turned out pretty good! Oh, and keep in mind we walked from our hotel in the snow, thus my hair got wet and looked weird.

Hi! 9 more days for you too? Woo Hoo

Glad we found you.

I know! I am excited about going and nervous about how much we have left to do betweeen now and then. Yowza!

I feel the same way! We leave a week from tomorrow, and there is a long list of RL things that have to get done before we go. Hope y'all have a great trip!

HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR'S DAY, EVERYONE!

I'm in! I've already started to keep track of my WW points (which I got a bit lazy with the past few months), and I'm heading to the spare bedroom in a bit to do Yoga. But first, I wanted a visual of the progress that I've made so far. So I dug up a picture of what I believe is me around my highest weight - 240:

Then I found one of me on our honeymoon two years ago, when I was about the same weight as I was at the start of this year - 215 lbs.

(My wife had me cut her out of the first two pictures, so that is why they look a little funny.)

Then I had my wife take one of me this morning at my current weight - ~175 (I didn't actually weigh myself this morning).

And I put them all together for a good comparison:

I think I was most shocked at how much weight I have lost in my face. I didn't think my face was that chubby at my highest weight until I saw these pictures. Yikes.

Hello! Happy New Year! Remember me?

I was a Peep back in the day. I even hit my goal weight for the first time since high school with all the great support here Then of course , SURPRISE! I was pregnant (I blame Monica and Pigget and of course my DH).

So here I am at the start of 2008 with a brand new baby (6 wks today! ) and 22.5 lbs over my goal weight. For my other kids the baby weight magically melted off without doing anything and that isn't happening this time. Of course I was never at my goal weight when I got pregnant before so maybe that has something to do with it.

I know how fast this thread moves and I don't know if I will be able to keep up BUT I figure I could glean whatever wisdom came my way.

My goal is to lose 12 lbs by Valentine's Day. I am short aka a pixie princess (almost 5 ft 4 in) and I am nursing and very busy with my real life. In reality I don't think I can hit my goal weight while I am nursing but I do not plan to spend the next year in my one remaining pair of "fat" jeans!!

So step one for this week:
Eat what I want as far as real food (ie not junk food or dessert) goes and keep a food journal to help me make better choices.
Somehow add exercise to my life. I am not sure how this is going to work with such a tiny baby and cold weather but I will let you know what I figure out.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Aaron - What a transformation!!! You look awesome! It really shows in your face, and everywhere else of course!

Twinks - Welcome Back!! That is one mighty fine baby you got out of the deal. Just ask us if you need support! We are here for ya'.

Now I got to finish taking Christmas down at my house.
