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

[HockeyKat]

Thanks for keeping track Aaron!!

Pakey I shouldn't laugh but your dog story was very funny.

I am so afraid to set a challenge goal because the last two times I have tried, I have falled off the wagon. With my WDW trip in 2 weeks, I am trying so hard to stay Peep-like at least until a few days before.

Confession time... I have such trouble with the black/white version of dieting... when I am ON the diet, I do great... stay within my calories, exercise, etc. When I am OFF the diet, I eat and drink everything in my path. I think this is called binge eating and I am terrible for it (or good at it, whichever you prefer).

My goal is to get to a reasonable weight and then start a maintenance program that can incorporate my bad tendencies yet not put weight on. I am thinking of a 5 day on, 2 day off program. I would love to say I could just eat in moderation for the rest of my life, but I am just not sure that is a possibility for me.

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!

you rule for keeping track like that thank you!

i think your goal for maintenance is perfect...that was kind of what i did when i lost a bunch of weight with WW 5 years ago..i would be good for 5 days out of the week but then i would have 2 "spike days" where i wouldnt' count cals or points..it seemed to work. I think it tricked my body and my metabolism would always have to be working to figure itself out..i dunno..thats just a theory

Down 3 pounds this week.

I have a new nephew. He was born Wed. night at 11:15. He's a cutie. He's 8 lbs. 12 oz & 22 1/4" long. I'll try to post a picture later. Now I'm off to study for Nursing 202 that begins on Monday with a quiz. A QUIZ on the 1st day.

 

[UtahMama]

BEHOLD, the list of missing numbers this week:

Allie- excused...wait, didn't she post before she left?
daisy77
Tinkabella
Tootsweet
Spongie
Sandy321- excused....run, Sandy, RUN!
Dweatl
Lynda- or was it her who posted early....on Vacation



My column notebook is all set up. I hope this new organization will help me out a LOT. You should have seen last year's "system" I would just do a chart on the computer, but I'm sort of a paper person.

 

[spongemommie05]

okay i am posting a weight loss with a shocking Loss of 10 pds either my scale is broken or i really did loose this from being sick .
i was going through some pictures of me last july and what i look like now and i would say there is a difference, what do you guys think? Ignore my smile i am still not quite awake oh and i just don't smile either ....

Please be honest i think before i did not look healthy and now i do ..

 

[UtahMama]

OK, you want HONEST????



















YOU look amazing!!!! I totally see the difference!!!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

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 )

OK I never noticed that but from now on I surely will and I'll have to make sure my family notices too!

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!

WHo'd a thunk?

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!

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

I'm with ya sista

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.

Good luck on the disney mojo! The visual I'm getting of the dog is hysterical!

These dog stories are great. THis morning a friend told me that her sister had a pot-bellied pig that learned to open the fridge and take out the beer! It would then roll the can around into things until the can punctures and it would lick up the beer. THey would get up every morning to a huge mess with the pot belly pig sprawled out in the middle of it. They finally got rid of the pig. They didn;t mind the mess so much as the fact that the pig was taking their beer!:lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Aaron, you missed me. I'm in for an 8 lb challenge, maybe yuou missed my earlier post. I'm down by 1 lb.

Hi Peeps ,

I know I haven't posted in a while, but I've been busy, so I've only had time to do the occasional lurking/skimming.

Anyway, for those of you who have been keeping up with my continuing health saga, my doctor told me yesterday that I do, in fact, have Lupus. I think I mentioned a while back, when I first got sick, that it was one of the things that they were considering. So, it has been a major blow to me right now. Especially due to the fact that I had a cousin (that I was very close to) who passed away due to complications from Lupus at the age of 30 (and some of you may recall, I just turned 30 in Dec)

So, here I am asking for more pixie dust and prayers from you guys as I deal with this new chapter in my life.

I hope everyone is having a great day and I hope all who are participating in the V-day challenge are surpassing their goals.

Crap, Tia!

Definitely in my prayers. I know nothing about Lupus, I'm afraid.

Must go do a little Google-ing.


We love you to pieces!!!!! Kick that Lupus in the behind!

[dismom9761]

I am -2 lbs this week. Not bad since this week included my birthday and AF.

I have read everything but lost all my quotes and now I am out of time.

 

[punkin413]

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!!!!)

i don't watch that show but now i may have to. i don't know about you guys, but when i see that my headlights are crooked i do a very smooth, discreet fix so they're straight! i used to work at bath & body works and my manager there ALWAYS had crooked headlights.

on a completely unrelated side note, my other manager there used to play cinderella at disney world.

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.

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.

here's some non-foggy good travel vibes for you!

and your dog story is hilarious! i don't know what i'd do without my dogs to entertain me. i was standing in the bathroom last night after i got out of the shower, combing my hair and eli (my 3-year-old fat, scaredy-cat beagle hound) comes flying through the bedroom and crawls under the bed. just about that time i hear ray saying, "no....bad boy!" i go in the kitchen to see what's going on and sherman (my 10-year-old non-fat but always very hungry beagle) had gotten into the trash. i asked ray if he whipped him and he said he had popped him on the butt, why? i said, "because eli just ran and hid under the bed!" we were both cracking up and ray compared it to the scene in "a christmas story" after ralphie gets in a fight and his mom catches him cursing and he's awaiting the doom of his father returning home from work and finding all this out....meanwhile his little brother, randy, is sitting under the kitchen cabinet crying and when his mom asks him what's wrong he says, "DAD'S GONNA KILL RALPHIE!!!!!!!"

Great work on the V-Day challenge everyone!

thanks, BUT I'M HEADED IN THE WRONG DIRECTION!!!!!!!! just kidding. i'm really hard on myself when i don't accomplish the things i'm trying to. it's hard for me to deal with trying for something and not getting it. that sounds selfish but that's just the way i am.

I have a new nephew.

CONGRATS, auntie fran!!!!

YOU look amazing!!!! I totally see the difference!!!!

i agree, misty....i can see a difference.

oh, tia..... i'm so sorry to hear this. i'm sure you feel a little bit better since now you know what you're dealing with. isn't lupus something that can be managed with drugs and with taking precautionary measures? i don't know much about it but i hope it's something you can learn to deal with. i do remember a girl on "america's next top model" (mercedes, maybe?) that had it. anyway, here's another hug......

 

[celerystalker]

This was too funny not to share.
Even when I try to stay away from the evil weigh in, thread momma won't let me! This is from another thread:

oh yeah - PS -
due to the drinking, we will NOT be weighing in today.
Send your crisco my way, WEndeeee!

OK, I'll just put you down for a gain of like 7 or 8 pounds No problem.

GET on the scale! No free pass for you!
It'll just make next week look good. PLUS, you'll single handedly screw up my entire spread sheet.

wendy - I know you're kidding.
I already ate!
This is true love, let me tell you.
I'm dragging my fat, hungover rear up the stairs and weighing in.
YOU OWE ME! heheh

Alright people.
I'm actually down 2 pounds from last week.
Woo!
But I'm up two pounds from where I was on Monday.
Boo!

She's a good thread mother.

I'm so sorry. Lots of prayers and pixie dust sent.

punkin - Don't be down on yourself! You can do it!

Misty - You look GREAT! Don't you just love being able to see a difference?
