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

[DisneyObsession]

Down 3 lbs since New Years Day! (That is my starting point!)

Melinda...Thanks for the update on PhilaDisney! I was wondering when she was going to be on!

 

[LMO429]

Im down 1/2 pound!!! I havent been as strict as I should be. but I started to workout hardcore again, this past Tuesday its only been 3days and 2 of those were with weights.....anyway enough excuses It is what it is! Im trying to do the slow and steady weight loss as oppose to the fast and furious and then gain it back plan. This summer I was 129 pounds..this morning I was 146.5! If i lose a pound a week Im Happy.

 

[Sparkie]

Gain of 1.2
Last weeks weight: 173.8, this week 175, starting weight 176 so a net loss of 1. Got fast food tempted and I can tell I didnt drink my water, my hands are puffy this morning. So time to get serious.

Thought for the day: Step 1: In order to lose weight, you have to BELIEVE that YOU WILL SUCCEED (borrowed from the biggest loser)

OK- I think I've found my new cardio. Went to the basement last night, put on those tap shoes, and was a dancin' fool for about 15 min (sorry thats all I could last) but my heart rate was up, I was breathing hard, and I was sweaty. I never get sweaty on the treadmill or the eliptical. Getting sweaty is a good thing right? That walking in place just bores me.

SO . . . My goal is to do my new cardio everyday - for however long I can last- those girls really worked me out and I wasnt even up to full speed- I have danced before but last time I had on tap shoes I was 9 So I'm in the beginner class.

I also will go to the gym at least twice a week for weights and we have some resistance bands that I am going to start using to stregthen my ankles (these are DD's that they use for pointe class and I'm sure they will put me through the ringer)

So. . . All you peeps have a great day and a great weekend-

If you like dancing and dont want to feel overwhelmed! Try the Yoga Booty Ballet workouts. I think they are great for beginners, alot of fun and is alot better than walking in place....I have not tried it yet but since you quoted the biggest loser, I know they just came out with a new workout video/dvd the instructors are Bob and Jillian...I love Bob

 

[Sparkie]

Where would I find the Yoga Ballet workout info and the dvd from Bob and Jillian?

My 2 girls are my personal trainers right now- they both dance - tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, musical theater, lyrical, ballet, pointe - they would love it if I put a barre in the basement- I'm NOT hanging mirrors though

For the Yoga Booty Ballet go to beachbody.com while you are there check out Turbo Jam workouts (i love them!) Yoga Booty Ballet is def more of a beginner workout...Turbo Jam is more of an intermediate/advance workout

For the biggest loser workout go to collagevideo.com

-1.5 lbs yippie!

ok so i did mony's water chart thing from her water article. i have to consume 8 16 oz bottles of water. every day. so you know where i'll be if you need me today. oh and i'm giving up coffee today. sigh. oh well i guess i didnt need it anyway.

I love both bob and jillian....biggest loser is the bomb! i love how they teach people to incoorporate workouts into their lives, it doesnt have to feel like work..workouts should be something fun that you love to do and cant wait to do everyday...i love that they are teaching as they are torturing.

happy friday peeps!

 

[mousehouselover]

I'm a loser!!!!!!!!! -3lbs this week!!!!!! Woo hooty!

Congrats to the losers and samers, for those who gained, just start over. I've started over so many times inthe last few months, it gets depressing but it's better than giving up!

DH wants to spend some time with me so I've got to run, see y'all later!

 

[punkin413]

grrrrrrrr......i'm + 2 pounds today. i don't get it. i worked out like a fool this week and ate very peepishly. AF is here but usually that doesn't affect me that much. and i'm still sore from tuesday's workout so that could be contributing, too......stupid lactic acid!!! i know that it takes about a week to see the results of what you're doing but this is really frustrating!

ATTENTION: Does everyone know that DISer Philadisney is going to be on What Not to Wear tonight??? I fear Stacey and Clinton will throw away all her Disney gear and the Crocs don't stand a chance!

i'm so ready for this! i've been telling ray about it for months.....i can't wait to see what they throw away. i have to admit i have lots of disney clothes but i only wear them while in disney and at the gym. they'd have to break my arm to get me to throw away my stuff!

OK- I think I've found my new cardio. Went to the basement last night, put on those tap shoes, and was a dancin' fool for about 15 min (sorry thats all I could last) but my heart rate was up, I was breathing hard, and I was sweaty.

sounds like fun!!!

hi, lynda! hope you guys have fun in chicago......glad to see you're looking at the bright side of things.

 

[MA pigletfan]

Hi Peeps!
Once again, thank you for all the your comments about this. You have no idea how much it means to me!

YAY! So glad you are doing something fun!!! Have a great time..i would love to visit Chicago one day!

Lynda~

I'm so glad that you got to go to Chicago for the weekend. Thrilled that you got to see WIcked. I saw that on Broadway a bit over a year ago and thought it was wonderful. I'm seeing it again this May. Other than Beaty and the Beast I've never seen a broadway play twice, but this one is worth it! Have a wonderful time this weekend!

Pigget~

So cool about your friend and the marathon! Very insprirational, thanks for sharing.

Good morning everyone and Good afternoon to DisneyGalUK!

I hear ya on Wicked! I saw it on Broadway in 2005 and the next year i went to see it when it came to PPAC ( Providence, RI)...it was so good both times!

If you like dancing and dont want to feel overwhelmed! Try the Yoga Booty Ballet workouts. I think they are great for beginners, alot of fun and is alot better than walking in place....I have not tried it yet but since you quoted the biggest loser, I know they just came out with a new workout video/dvd the instructors are Bob and Jillian...I love Bob

That sounds so fun! I think i will check out the booty ballet! I liek to supplement my 3xs a week Curves workouts with stuff i can do at h ome, until the weather is nice enough for outside hikes etc. here.

-1.5 lbs yippie!

I agree..i would love to have my own personal Bob of Jillian! Bob is my favorite though!

I am going to just start posting my weight cause I have no clue what my change is from last week. I think +.5

I am 10.5 lbs over my Feb challenge goal weight. Maybe the magic spreadsheet can tell my change for the week.

I didn't try very hard this week- I was busy with sick kids and drowned my sorrows in snack foods.


to all who need one!

 

[UtahMama]

Listen!!!! I learned on Biggest Loser this last week that week #2 is notoriously BAD for weigh in!!!! See? We're all normal after our re-committing! NOW, the trick is not to let it bum you out so you snack! (I'm talking to myself mostly)


SO...Stop bummin'!

I don't know the reason, but look at the contestants on the show! They are on that tread mill for hours and they are eating a measured calibrated diet and still manage to "samer" ON NATIONAL TV wearing an unflattering sports bra with their "sisters" headlights crooked (I hope I'm not the only one who notices skeewampus headlights!!!!)


As for me, last night I was up 2 pounds, and in my sleep ended up being a total of -.05 for the week! See? A crap shoot!!!! (literally )


Punkin- That Teeth video is a nightmare I've actually had a few times! I think I should sue! and Wall E. looks super funny! YOU know how much I love Will Farrell, so needless to say, I want a poster of that!

Anybody have experience with online dating that would like to share some tips (and yes I do remember that interesting story told a few months ago...)?

I don't know if I have any real tips, but I did meet my wife online. We used Match.com. But I had to go through a couple, shall I say "trial runs", before I met her. We were both in the same boat as you. Looking for somebody, but no clue where to look since neither of us are bar people. Add to the fact that I am super duper shy and clam up around people I don't know, and on-line was pretty much my only hope. Well, that or Love Connection. But they've stopped recording that show years ago.

I lost 3.6 pounds this week. Funny how a diet and exercise plan work so much better when you actually, ya know, diet and exercise. Who woulda thunk it? This gives me a grand total weight loss of 40.4 pounds since January 2007, and an uber-grand total of 64.4 pounds lost since April 2005. I am now 5.6 pounds from my Valentines Day goal of 170, and 20.6 pounds away from my ultimate goal weight of 155.

Good luck to all!

 

[HockeyKat]

I am... -7 !!!!

Holy Crap!! I didn't expect this much. I think a lot of it was AF/water weight last week, though.

I am 180.2, lowest weight in 2007 was about 174, so the damage isn't awful I guess considering I basically was un-PEEP-like off and on for the last 3-4 months of 2007. I am more confident now that I can at least make it under 180 before we head to WDW on Jan 25. I would love to see 175 again.

Food for yesterday:
B: SF Oatmeal(100), coffee
L: Salad (100), 2 FF hot dogs (80)
D: 1 foot long Roast Beef Subway sub (580)
S: Many light beers (~800)
Total for the day: ~1600? Exercise, 45 min on the arc trainer

I was really bad yesterday since we had tickets to an NHL game and my team lost. I planned for some beer but not as much as I wound up consuming. Oh well, I still didn't do too badly on calories and I don't feel bad today, so that is a good thing.

Congrats to all the losers, and samer/gainers keep trucking... we will get there together!

In honor of the wedding dress discussion, here is a wedding pic:

I actually bought my dress about 3 yrs (and 30 lbs, good thing I got it big!) before the wedding, so I had to do some power dieting to fit into it. Plus a really, really good undergarment.

I was about 5-10 lbs lighter in that pic than I am now. And the reason it was so long before the wedding is that, well, I sort of bought it to marry a different guy than I ended up with (long, long story and a lot less Springer than it sounds).

Very pretty Kat

 

[DisneyLaura]

I can't multiquote again or use any smilies, (sad face). I am + .6. I can't even change my font size, WTH. Anyway great job to everyone who lost so far this week and stayed the same. Don't worry about gaining for those who did. I myself feel that I probably lost the weight that I gained in between the holidays of not being able to weigh in at WW. And yes Wendy I did notice the wonked headlights on the Biggest Loser girls. Let me tell you, you couldn't get me to wear one of those sport bras on national TV. I need help my peeps. This weekend is going to a tuffy. Tonight we are going to my best friend's house to exchange christmas gifts with the kids, we are having pizza. Now I love pizza and I ALWAYS get a salad when we get pizza home and I will do that again but most often I go back get another piece. Well then comes Saturday, it's my SIL's birthday and we are going over for guess what PIZZA. Then Sunday I have a christening, that I could handle but I am very scared about the pizza thing, what should I do. I can't eat pizza two nights in a row. Do you think it's better if I get a grinder on Saturday or just a salad and pizza? Please help me peeps.

 

[DisneyLaura]

Does everyone know that DISer Philadisney is going to be on What Not to Wear tonight??? I fear Stacey and Clinton will throw away all her Disney gear and the Crocs don't stand a chance!

I had heard that and if I were her I would have hide my Disney gear and crocs. Nobody's throwing those away

I need some Disney MOJO or something to keep the fog away so our plane can take off Sunday morning. Visibility at airport last night was down to 50 ft from the fog. So all of you please keep your fingers crossed as I cannot cancel and get my DVC points back.

Also, I have to tell you guys about my dog. I have a one eyed hairless PEEP. He's hairless because of his breed and he's one eyed right now because he has a dry eye (on steroids for it) and he can jump 10 ft straight up to get on those counters to get food. I made cupcakes last night for my staff and he got up there and grabbed one before I noticed. I had only made enough so that each person on my staff got one plus one extra for DH. Well, DH didn't get his cupcake, Andy did. So after that, I wrapped them and put them on top of the washing machine and closed the laundry room door. This morning, at 5am, my darling little Andy is in the kitchen crying his head off. Of course, I was asleep. I hear him with that high pitched mournful squeal and go out there to see what's wrong and there he sits by the laundry room door crying because he can't get in there and get a cupcake.

So life isn't bad enough that I have cancer, a weight problem, a bipolar son and hair like Don King. Now I've got a high priced little foo-foo dog who is costing me $250/month in steroids and he's become a food addict.

Im hysterical laughing at this quote! It is so true about their headlights being crooked I was thinking the same thing when I was watching it. You think the producers of the show would let them know that! isnt it enough that they are standing there will barely nothing on to begin with!!!!

That is too funny! I could totally see my dog doing the same thing. My mother-in-law baked our dog a bunch of treats for Christmas, and we keep them in the bottom drawer of the fridge for safe keeping. When ever she hears that refrigerator door open, she comes running to the kitchen and looks at the treats, looks at me, looks at the treats, looks at me. And if I don't give her one, she'll sit in front of the fridge and whine. And if that doesn't work, she'll lay down in front of it and won't move until we get up again.

Great work on the V-Day challenge everyone! With 87% of the precincts reporting, we are up to a net loss 15.9 pounds! Good work everyone!
