DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 3

one day, no cheat...

Stay safe!

It does cause so much havoc, our school system decided never to release early w/o warning!! With a blizzard fast approaching, they released the kids before noon - all the working parents werent HOME - "DUH" so the schools have made it a point not to release early -

STAY AWAY STORMS!!!! NO TORNADOES!!!

aldisneygrl Be careful

Thanks for all the safety wishes. It all went South of us. Has anyone heard from Sparkie? It was really bad down where she lives. South AL got hit really hard. The news thought it was all going to the North, and I think they got surprised. It is a shame.

I will be praying for you and your family.

I forgot to say ! Glad to have you here!

 

[Sparkie]

Hey Everyone!

We are fine. It got really scary for a minute. I live off 20/59 and there was a suspected rotation at Abernant/Bucksville- my exit. But all is well. No damage and everybody is safe. Our school let out at noon today so my kids were home and safe. Lets all pray for the families in Enterprise, AL. A school was hit with fatalities.

I got on here to check on all of you as well. I hope all of you were as fortunate.

Thanks for asking about me.

eyeore- How's the affair?- You hot sexy mama you

punkin- Welcome. Hang in there. I have to keep telling myself that I didnt gain weight overnight and its not going to come off overnight either. But Im like you - I REALLY want 40 pounds to just drop off and be gone. You are on the right track with exercise. And what a plus to have a trainer to keep you motivated. Im not much on supplements and such- I have tried diet pills- and as you can see Im right back where I started. It really is a lifestyle change. But change is always hard. WeightWatchers is a sound program-Nutrisystem is expensive IMO. Im just counting calories- 1200 per day and try for less than 30 gm fat per day which is hard with my fast food addiction. So keep up the good work.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Sparkie - I am glad you are safe! I was just about to send you a PM, and then I saw that you had posted. One kid got released at 11:45 and the other at 12:15 today. We were all safe as well. It is so sad about the people in Enterprise.

so i've been reading through this thread and i think this is my plan:

1. drink more water!!!!!!! i drink some every day, but honestly not enough. i think (hope) this will help. and i've already made a step in the right direction with this.......my neighbor's little boy is selling cases of coke products for his baseball team. i had ordered a case of diet coke, but called him tonight and told him to change it to bottled water. go me!

2. write down what i eat. i do have a question about this. exactly WHAT do you guys write down? fat grams? carbs? calories? also, does anyone know of a useful website i can look at to find out how much of these things i need every day (as compared to how much i want - haha)?

3. do more cardio. after my weight training classes (which i LOVE) i'm going to do 20-30 minutes of cardio on the eliptical (sp?) machine or treadmill before i leave the gym. i don't normally do this because my classes start at 5:45 and go til 6:45 - 7:00. so by the time i talk to everyone for 20 minutes and then have the 20-minute drive home from the gym, it's time for american idol (or some other time-sucking show) to start and god forbid i miss any of that!!! i would do my cardio before my classes, but my fitness trainer friend (who i will from now on refer to as wonder woman) tells me that you should do cardio after weights because your body will be in fat-burning mode for the cardio. so.......i will not talk to all my gym friends after class, go straight to the cardio machines and get my butt in gear!!!! and if i miss the first 10 minutes of american idol, i think i'll live!

i think this is a start. any other suggestions will be of course welcomed!!!!

to Shannon and Jo.

News flash....I got busted DISing at work yesterday. I KNOW! My boss just laughed case she got a big eyefull of Sandy's Mickey sitting on the pot of gold. Then I had to try to explain forums. I'm afraid I sounded a little talking about my online friends. Oh well. She wasn't mad...just laughed at me...a little.

I know where that hair is too! But I have them EVERYWHERE! I'm like Danielle. I tell DH they are my natural pewter highlights! Are we the oldest, Fidge? Who's in their 40's....me, you, Sandy, Danielle? Anybody else?

Sorry you got busted, Melinda! I resorted to a "batphone" that gets the Internet to get my fix occasionally during the work day. Very worth it some days

I'm probably one of the older Peeps here - pretty close to leaving my 40s behind

Ok, I have gained back every single pound of my 15 pounds. Surprise!!!!!

Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! My WW leader talked last week about why our bodies gain weight so easily from eating carbs after being on a high protein diet like SB. Something about carb molecules glomming on to water. I'll have to ask her about that again.

I have seen smilies on others pages that I can't seem to find! Do you get more depending on our number of posts? I wanted 2 in particular that I saw...one for prayer and one of the banana in Mickey ears and shorts. Does anybody know anything about these? (Or am I losing my DISing mind?!?)

DO, I posted the prayer smilie. You can Google for whatever smilie I'm looking for, then you can post it like you would any other graphic. There may be other/easier ways, but here's how I do it:

Open a new browser window where you can access Google.

Look in Google or Google Images until you find a smilie you like.

Right click the smilie.

Right click Copy Image Location. Sometimes it will copy, other times you can do Ctrl-C.

Click on where you want to insert it into your DIS message, then click on the Insert Picture icon. You may have to change your editing settings under the Control Panel to do this. Mine is set at Standard Editor, Extra Editing Controls.

Paste the image location in the address window (Ctrl-V).

This usually works. If it doesn't, it's because your smilie is from a location that doesn't allow you to link to.

Good luck - PM me if you need help!

punkin - get your gym friends to do the elliptical with you!!!

You are on the right track with exercise. And what a plus to have a trainer to keep you motivated. Im not much on supplements and such- I have tried diet pills

well, my "trainer" is my best friend. she's the group fitness trainer at my gym, has an almost-3-year-old and is in excellent (and i mean excellent!) physical condition. she does fitness competitions and usually does pretty well with them. so i'm very lucky to have her as my friend! and yes, i too am not keen on supplements. i was just frustrated with the amount of exercise i do and the amount of fat i wasn't losing. so she recommended a fat burner to help me in that department. i totally trust her - she would never tell me to put something in my body that wasn't safe. plus she knows i'm not going to abuse them like some people do.

thanks for the encouragement. and i'm glad you're safe!!!

here's a pic of my friend/fitness trainer a/k/a wonder woman. yeah, she makes me sick too! i actually made a poster to encourage her at this competition and it says "anna's the hottest mama in town" because she's a mommy and looks like THAT. all of her friends signed it. anyway, look at this picture to get encouraged!!!

she's the one in the light blue bikini.

and here's the "gang" there to support her. here we're showing off all our muscles! didn't get a pic of the poster....duh! i'm the brunette on the upper righthand side, next to the blonde in the light blue shirt.

garsh what a pretty girl - you and your friend

 

[punkin413]

garsh what a pretty girl - you and your friend

thanks. i needed that after looking at my "after" pictures (which will hopefully become my "in between" pictures!)

i see you're in georgia. may i ask where? i'm in jefferson, near athens.

 

[harleygirl]

I am south of Atlanta right down 85 in Newnan

Dragonfly and Dismom are here in town with me,

did you get storms today?

 

[punkin413]

did you get storms today?

not really. just lots of thunder and constant rain, but no wind. i have a small lake in my back yard right now!

 

[harleygirl]

I am so LOL My dog is running full out, in his sleep...growling, feet twitching, teeth bared, getting after something
so funny to watch puppy dreams

 

[S.Poppins]

Sandy - Your UM siggie (4 days since UM fantamically did it) sounds..... well, like, I don't know... Makes you think "what did she do....." And how do you know......?

Good morning everyone,

I didn't get a chance to post last night but if you all could spare some, I'd really appreciate a little more prayers and pixie dust. I feel like I've been asking for a lot of it lately, but this one is legit, not something frivolous like tooth or a school exam.

Hope everyone is having a great day today! Tonight is weigh in for me. I'm expecting to gain and I'm just gonna get over it. BUT I did not eat badly this week.

Shannon I will pray for your Dad and for you.

Jo - I hope you get the school you want. So do you have to pay for this school?

I'm doing a flyby posting. They have let school out early today due to the incoming bad weather. They have already had a tornado west of here. They wanted to get the kids home before it hit, but it has caused complete and utter PANIC around here. Anyway, I am going to turn my computer off, so that the lightning doesn't ZAP it. What would I do without my DIS? I'll hopefully check in later tonight. We are going to listen to our weather radios, and stay in our inner most room, if need be. Take Care!

AL got hit pretty hard today. Glad you and Sparkie are safe.

WOW!! is all I can say. This is so different from us.

We have been in the hallway for the past hour and 15. Not fun at all. The weather has cleared for now, but they have cancelled all after school things because another band is coming in about an hour--just in time for us to leave. Hopefully we will not be back in the hallway.

We ended up in the hallway twice. Once during nap time - not fun! After we picked up OG kids we started calling parents and suggesting they come pick up before the weather got bad again. So most came and during all the pick up stuff another warning came up and everyone had to stay - including parents. We can't let anyone leave during warnings. How are you feeling?

I have seen smilies on others pages that I can't seem to find! Do you get more depending on our number of posts? I wanted 2 in particular that I saw...one for prayer and one of the banana in Mickey ears and shorts. Does anybody know anything about these? (Or am I losing my DISing mind?!?)

It also took me awhile to figure out that when you hit more and the smilie box comes up, if you scroll across the bottom, there are more smilies on the right side of the box.

okay.....i need advice and i figured this is the place to get it!

any advice????????

A friend of mine just joined LA Weight Loss and I really liked her material. Looked pretty easy to follow. But the upfront is kind of high - not as bad if you sign up online. I have also looked at WW online and am considering it. I have read a lot lately about increasing dairy to 4 servings a day. Lowfat servings like skim milk, lowfat cheese, and yogurt.

UM I accept the no cheat challenge - although it is very hard with AF and all.

I am again stalling tonight - I need to work on my assignments.

not really. just lots of thunder and constant rain, but no wind. i have a small lake in my back yard right now!

yep it was pretty yukky here too - our 911 mgr sent us a email saying that we could expect the worst storms in 10 yrs tonite...so far its all been south of us....I am afraid ellester has been hit pretty hard in Columbus

 

[harleygirl]

I just checked registration is not open yet - waiting patiently

 

[harleygirl]

Where are our Threadhunkdudes?

 

[dismom9761]

OH NOOOOOO! We need a Re-Start! A RE DO! A Do Over!
We need like a motivational speaker or a fitness guru. Or a Guru of any kind to kick us into shape!

Let's take this SLOW. For ONE day, NO cheating! OH MY!

Tomorrow?

Agreed?

One FULL day of NO Cheating at all! Not even a Barbie Bite!!!!!

We Can DO iT!!!!!!!!!! WWPD!!!!!

I am soooo in!!!

okay.....i need advice and i figured this is the place to get it!

i'm 30 years old. i'm 5'3" and i weigh about 160 (eeekkkk!!!!!!!! that's a hard one to be honest about!). i work out 3-4 times a week with a mix of weights and cardio. my best friend is a fitness trainer, so she really helps me with my workouts and i enjoy them - it's the hour out of the day that i can just think of nothing but getting through this workout - no work, no family, no drama, no finances, nothing. i eat healthy, not cutting out carbs completely but trying to do the "good carb" thing with whole wheat everything and lots of lean meat, fruits, veggies. i'm not too stressed out with my life, i love my job and i have a wonderful marriage.

so how come i can't get into the shape i want to???

i began using a fat burner (lipo 6) on the advice of my fitness trainer friend at the beginning of january. that was 2 months ago. now i don't expect to drop 6 sizes in that amount of time, but i just took an updated bathing suit picture to see how i'm doing and i'm not noticing ANY difference! it's so frustrating and discouraging.

i've always had a big butt and thick legs. it's in my genes. i know i can't get away from it. so i KNOW i'll never be a size 4. my goal is to get down to 130, although i don't want to concentrate too much on my weight because i do work out a lot and i know i'm building muscle, which accounts for a good bit of that weight.

i'm thinking of trying out a diet, but i have no idea where to start. i've never done anything like weight watchers or nutrisystem.....just kind of winged it on my own.

any advice????????

so i've been reading through this thread and i think this is my plan:

1. drink more water!!!!!!! i drink some every day, but honestly not enough. i think (hope) this will help. and i've already made a step in the right direction with this.......my neighbor's little boy is selling cases of coke products for his baseball team. i had ordered a case of diet coke, but called him tonight and told him to change it to bottled water. go me!

i think this is a start. any other suggestions will be of course welcomed!!!!

Sounds like a great plan!!
