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

[Wonders10]

Good Morning everyone!

I'm about to post the first Peep of the Week. Remember that it is your job to add to what I write. Tell us what you love about that person, why you think they are deserving of P.O.W., anything positive at all that you can think of that truly applies to this particular Peep. If you know him/her personally (like I know some of you do), share a funny story that shows why he/she is such a great person. And remember that this is actually Peep for 2 weeks So feel free to share your thoughts for the next 2 weeks about this Peep.

Thanks to everyone who got their Q and A back to me. For those that didn't, you can still send it to me. And thank you to those you made nominations. I have taken them into consideration. Also, I will hold on to the other nominations for future weeks.

So here we go...

Congratulations to UTAHMAMA aka WENDY for being our first Peep of the Week!

Congrats Wendy! ​

I had a chance to sit and talk with this Peep and here is what she had to say:

1. What motivates you on your journey to lose weight / get healthy / maintain, etc? What "diet" program are/were you following?
I lost a TON (over 130) of wt. a few years ago when did South Beach. It was soooo easy then! This time, maybe I've doomed my metabolism by not exercising and yo-yoing too much?

The prospect of a PEEP meet REALLY motivates me!

2. What would be your tip to the rest of the Peeps to help them on their journey? (i.e. not eating after 7 or writing things down, etc.)
I say only drink water (or Crystal Lite) and
excersice! (I need too listen to that!)and weigh daily so it doesn't ever get out of control!

3. When did you join the DIS? Do you remember your first post?
Back in July 06 we were planning out WDW vacation and stumbled upon it!

4. When did you join the Peeps? Why did you seek Peep support?
See post #1 ...because I need to be accountable to someone else or I quit too easy!

5. Tell us about your family. Any kids, spouses, pets?
More than one spouse??? LOL...
Awsome DH, DS who is almost 18 works at Arbys and is FUNNY! DS 8 is sensitive yet silly and loves scouting. DS 7 is my shy one. Shy but very loving. DD2 was a surprise and is always surprising us!
2 Golden Retriever Dogs, Clifford and Amber. 2 cats, Meep and Abby.

6. What do you do as a career? (yes, stay at home mom is a career)
The majority of my personal income is from my 3 daycare kids. I also sell Scentsy Candles which I LOVE. Before Norah was born, I did hair. I'd like to do aesthetics (facials, waxing, etc.) when she's bigger!

7. Has joining the Peeps changed you? How so?It has brought me together with fabulous friends who also struggle with losing weight...I LOVE all the peeps!!!

8. Name 3 things you like about yourself. (any 3 things – must be positive)
1. My CURVES
2. My hair
3. my skin

9. What makes you laugh? Cry?
Everything (almost) makes me laugh! There is humor everywhere!!!! Even family gettogethers where there's drama, I find entertaining. It's ALL about your attitude!

Sad commercials and sad movies make me cry.

10. What are some of your favorite Disney things? (rides, resorts, movies, characters, etc.)
I love Jungle Cruise for it's nostalgia. I love EE for the new thrill. I like Tower of Terror and Roack'nRollercoaster. I like Boma and the Grand Tea at GF. I'd LOVE to stay at the POLY someday. I love all the movies but find it odd the classic cartoons all have missing mothers (or fathers). My favorite character is Miss Piggy but she's not fully disney. I like Pooh too because he's always rumbly in his tumbly! My favorite bad-guy is Ursula

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wendy,
Thank you for starting the DISappearing Peeps even if I didn't stumble upon it until a couple months after you started. I'm so grateful that it is here. I love how you always make me laugh and see the positive side of things. And you always look so pretty in pictures!

Yay for Wendy! ​

I think you would just need to make a ressie for whoever is in your party Aries. Melinda made ressies for Kona, and I think her parties are for 9 (covering my party and hers) and 5 (her original ressie that she kept for whoever else might need one - this should cover UM assuming she gets her trip booked) I don't know the exact number of kiddos and who is bringing what kiddos though. Melinda or Wendy would know better. So, there could be some space left within those ressies, but I'm not sure. Sandy posted that she made ressies for that time, I think. I hope that helps.

I believe Melinda wanted to stay at MK until 7pm, when they close that day. Then eat at Kona, then watch Hallowishes from the Poly beach. I think that's why we had that timing. Forgive me if that's wrong Melinda! Hopefully Melinda will check in soon and verify that. We might be able to make it there 20 minutes early. Do we all have to be there 20 minutes early or can we just show up and let them know the others are coming?

Aaaahhhh! PM sent to Christine! I feel terrible! I walked away from my desk and she was on the phone with dining! PMs are really flying today!

Aries! Count us IN...you make one ressie, I guess? There's 6 of us. For the 23rd.

I'm IN for the 28th BUT, I'm trying to figure out NeverLand Club for Norah, Riley and Dallen. So Jordan (18) can go to Kona too if he wants...so mine isn't set yet.

Also, when is MNNSHP? PM me with details because I get lost on this thread sometimes.

Wanted: POP Mugs, gently used (6)

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I spent part of my morning typing responses to the first 20 pages that I was behind and then my computer had an error and had to be shut down. So, I'm sorry that some of you didn't get quoted.

However, I do remember a couple of things:

Happy Belated Easter Everyone!!
(it could be today, the weather is just as nasty)

Utah Mama & dance2874,
you both look great and your daughters are so adorable.

To whoever made the Easter bunny cake (sorry I can't remember),
you did an awesome job. Did you save me a piece?

Welcome to any one else that is new and that I may have forgot.

Also, to all that are going to the Peep Meet in September....Congratulations! Wish I could join you but even if we could afford to go, I will be in the nursing program by then and quite frankly, I just wouldn't be able to.

Hello all,

I just came across this tread today and would LOVE to join it. Last June my husband told me that if I got to goal weight by the time we went back to Disney (December 07), he would pay for me to got to Discovery cove. (I love dolphins) so I started Weight Watchers and riding my bike. Off came 25 pounds by Thanksgiving, then I kinda got side tracked and have put 5 of those pounds back on. Now last week I just recommited myself again with the meetings and I joined curves (in October) and have been going 5 times a week.
I would love some support from people that are in the same boat as myself. Thanks
Misty

20 down, 30 left to swim with dolphins, 30 more after that to be at a goal size

Sparkie is a no can do for Sept or Jan.

I am taking 6 adults (one 11 year old adult) in July for 11 days with 10 day passes and dining. So $ is tight. I have been saving since October for this trip- almost paid off


I thought about a solo trip or a trip with me and the girls (11 and 16). We have also been thinking about spending Christmas in Pigeon Forge. My kids have never been to the Smokies and we are only about 4-5 hrs away. So we put it to a family vote and a Smokey Mountain Christmas it is.

Hope everyone has fun and maybe I can meet up with you all next year!

I wish that I was going in Sept. but that would be impossible since we're going for 10 nights over Christmas(Dec.17-Dec.27). We spent the week before Christmas in Pigeon Forge the year before last and had an awesome time. I love the Smoky Mountains and we have a 6 day trip scheduled for this 4th of July holiday. My husband and I agreed that each Christmas we just need to go somewhere else to celebrate Christmas. My family is sooooooo hard to get along with (mainly my mother) and usually trouble erupts, so that is why we decided that Christmas away would be best for everyone.

My dear Peeps, my Grandma passed away this afternoon. I'm envisioning her celebrating in heaven with my Mom, Aunt, Grandpa and other assorted relatives tonight. I'm glad I was able to spend some time with her over the last few days.

Thanks so much for your support and kind words the last few days

The humor here never fails to lift my sagging spirits.

I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. Your in my thoughts.

Yay for Wendy! ​

WOW!!!! I almost passed this up (THAT wouldn't have been good!!!!) I am flattered and honoured. I am so glad I was inspired to start it. It truly was the answer to a prayer for me (and some of you too) and I'm thrilled to have gotten to know you all. I dont know what I'd do with out the PEEPS! (I do know, I'd be 30 pounds heavier!)

I love that we all support one another even though we have a bunch of different diets going on! Specifically for me, is the encouragement to exercise and drink more water.

Thanks Again....And by the way, You look SO skinny!
