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

[S.Poppins]

Just dropping in real quick.

Bee - sorry about your cat. Losing a pet is always hard.

Welcome to all the new people!!! I haven't seen any of your bikini pics..... Mine are on page 223.

WOW, thanks for all the shoe tips!! Our dresses are red, but we are doing black shoes so we dont have to try to match the red. And there are a ton more choices in black. I live in crocs and flip flops. I love looking at cute shoes, just not wearing them! Nordstrom dos have fierce shoes, I love window shopping intheir shoe dept. My poor feet. It is going to be a LONG day in any sort of heels. I may have to change into my trusty red disney crocs at the reception Luckily my sister is a disney nut too

Well, DD ha sbeen asleep for an hour and 20 min now, so I am off to bed too. Skinny dreams everyone!

 

[eeyore45]

Dance if you know where a DSW shoe store is - they have this pair of FIERCE black shoes, low heels, with an amazing rhinestone dragonfly on top - just gorgeous... not to mention all kinds of short heeled black shoes!!! (I on the other hand needed brown shoes for Sat wedding!!)

Your trip is so close! Are you packing yet? I am a dork and I start a suitcase about two weeks before and I start throwing things in it as I think of them.

i know....it's kinda snuck up on me! this saturday will be two weeks and we leave! no, i'm not packing yet, but i have started a "disney bag" where i'm keeping anything i plan on wearing (as to not dirty it right before our trip), ponchos, coffee cups with lids (i'm on a coffee maker swap), coffee filter singles, a new pack of hair bands, stuff like that. i just want to keep it all in one place! it's in the closet in my office where DH won't see it and think i'm a freak.....although he already knows that......don't know why i'm tryin to hide it!

 

[punkin413]

i can't remember who it is that suggests the warm water and lemon juice to "flush" out your system, but i just tried it and ...... ewwwwwwwww!!!!!!! that's disgusting! i'm still drinking it though. how much of this stuff is required for results? blah!!!!

I NEVER went swimming in public because, I was terrified to be seen in a bathing suit. On vacation, I'd wear shorts and dangle my feet at the side of the pool. A couple years ago, I figured I was denying myself a great pleasure for a silly reason. WHO cares if I was a 300 pound woman in a bathing suit in the pool or sunning myself. I would NEVER be seeing any of these vacationing strangers again. Now, it's like I'm a whole new person. I DO admit to wearing a stylish sarong around my danger-zone (thighs) but I think I look FIERCE for a mom of 4.
Nowadays, if I hesitate because something is out of my comfort zone (contact lenses for example) I'll at least give it a try and conquer the fear.

Uma!!! I will wear a swimsuit for my aquatics classes at our local pool, but am still pretty uncomfortable at other pools. But once in a while, I'll suck it up if I REALLY want to swim

WELCOME, HockeyKat!!! Souds like you've been losing pretty well - You will get plenty off support here.

Tomorrow is the GREAT 20 pound Challenge for September!!!!!

I JUST thunk of that out of the clear blue...ANY one interested??? How about SPECIAL prizes if you lose 20 pounds starting tomorrow ending at the meet.

Count me IN!!!

I had a bad day today, though - hubby brought home brownies from Zingerman's Deli and I could NOT resist. So I got on the exercise bike and did
10 miles and drank some extra water (not that that will probably help much). But tomorrow's a new day and I WILL do better.

I'm trying to find an electronic food journal I can use on my PDA. I'm hoping the novelty wil inspire me to get back to journalling my intake thoroughly again.

Hi Peeps, I have some sad news and have to report that stress in my life lead me to make some poor food choices after a no cheat week.

DH called me at work today to report that one of our bunnies wasn't acting right and he thought she may have gone blind. I told him to bring her to the hospital right away. She pased away while he was in the car with her. She was such a sweet bunny and I'm missing her terribly right now. The Dr said he thinks it was a neuro event, such as a stroke. DH said she was very calm and acting normal when he put her in the car so I don't think she was in pain and she passed quickly.

We were very upset and shocked and DH wanted comfort food. We wound up at Skyline Chili and I ordered a large spaghetti with chili and tons of cheese. It had to be more than my entire days alotment of points. It wasn't that I didn't care, I wasn't even super hungry when we sat down but I needed to veg and let my heart and mind implode.

It's after midnight so I'm going to post my weight progress, I figure I'll just use my weight from Thurs am since for some stupid reason it's usually better than Fri am. (Tonight's heartbreak and binge aside, I don't weigh well of Fri mornings......) Drum roll please, my loss from the last two weeks is: 3.5 lbs!! I no longer have a 7 as the second digit in my weight!! I have lost 13.5 lb since starting the Peeps and WISH. I am so happy to have you ladies (and a guy or two) who have helped me along and shown me that I can do it, and I have to do it for me and no one else.

I could stay up all night, I hate going to bed after we lose a pet and I don't sleep well, but I have to go to work early tomorrow.....

I'm relieved my production from yesterday is over! It went great and the girls seemed to get a kick out of it. Our theme was mission possible, we used the theme music from mission impossible and had a "spy" skit. I was the head agent who had to deliver the mission's to the agents in disguise. My delivery methods included army crawls and a sumersault! I haven't done one of those in public in about 15 years. We also had a recorded video of our bishop in different disguises being the "bad guys". It was hillarious! AFter wards I was informed I would be speaking in church next month because I included the "bloopers" at the end of the tape!

Sounds great. You're a wild woman!

again, sorry about that. i will no longer refer to any tv shows on here b/c i'm on the east coast and i see everything before a lot of you. please accept my apologies.

No problem. Like a big goof, I ended up watching to the end, then realized I had to iron 3 of my students' projects that didn't laminate properly. Si I took my shower and did my squats at about 10:40 last night. I'm going to bed earlier tonight.

you go!!!!!!!! you look fierce regardless of how many kids you have! and let me just say (no offense to anyone) that at least you have the sense to wear sarong and not a thong!!!!! i've seen MANY women (and men, for that matter) wearing things on the beach that were very inappropriate for their size and i just thought, "do you OWN a mirror?????"

When DH and I went to Hawaii, we saw 2 women wearing thongs. both were thin. One had a perfectly sculpted behind, probably a dancer. The other had her kids running around, and looked like someone had let the air out of a couple of balloons. I stick to tankinis, and actually have a pair of matching shorts. I may actually post a picture some time.

did anyone else see the john mayer/jessica simpson skit on SNL last saturday? we were getting ready for bed when it was on and DH came running out of the bathroom b/c i was laying in bed laughing so hard (specifically after jessica's singing) that he thought something was wrong with me.......like screaming-banchee-laughing!!!!!!!!!! funniest stuff i've seen in a long time.

i'm posting the link below in case you missed it:

They are a puzzler aren't they?

i can't remember who it is that suggests the warm water and lemon juice to "flush" out your system, but i just tried it and ...... ewwwwwwwww!!!!!!! that's disgusting! i'm still drinking it though. how much of this stuff is required for results? blah!!!!

I don't know about the rest of y'all, but I drink 24 oz. of water with 2 big squeezes of lemon, and it makes me sweat as well as pee. It's weird, but it works.

.

So sorry about your bunny.

Woooo Hooooty about the 3.5 lbs.

Happy weigh-in everyone. I'm off to drink some water, and hit the hay. I almost forgot to say, DH and I went to Pasta Pomodoro for dinner, and I had a cup of minestrone and a spinach salad. It had balsamic vinaigrette, walnut pieces, ricotta and a little bacon, but it had to be better than a plate of pasta, and I got full about 3/4 of the way through, so I brought the leftovers home. Let's hope it works some high-fiber magic.

Hi Peeps, I have some sad news and have to report that stress in my life lead me to make some poor food choices after a no cheat week.

I'm very sorry to hear about your bunny....mine were my favorite pets growing up. This is a sad week on here for pets.

So I lost 1 pd. this week..well actually 2 weeks since I didn't weigh in last Friday. I was hoping for 2 or 3 but I'll take it...esp. since I didn't eat very well in the days leading up to and after the wedding. Plus, I haven't been walking. I'm hoping to start this weekend since it will be close to 70 degrees Sunday!!!! Have a grat Friday everyone!!

DANIELLE....I'm the thin woman with the two deflated balloons...not that I would ever wear a thong...just sayin. Tankini is a no go also. All my squish is around the middle and makes for a not so hot muffin top affect. I hafta stick with the one-piece.

I'm so sorry about the kitty and bunny lost this week. I hope you all find comfort in knowing they are in a better place. They become part of the family and are truly missed.

Hope I'll make it to the gym to weigh today. Went on Wed and had lost a little over a lb from the last weigh in when I weighed. I'm just counting down to the 150s!

Happy Friday ya'll! I've been trying to read up on this board, but dang, it's overwhelming!

 

[Tinkabella]

[DisneyObsession]

Good Morning! Running behind schedule, so only perused the last page.

mousehouselover...So sorry about your bunny. Animals are such a part of the family. I'm sure it will be greatly missed. Congrats on the 3.5 lbs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FRAN!!!

Eventer & Tinkabelle...WTG on the 1 pound!!! You ladies are awesome!!!

Lexi.....How are you doing????

Beka...Quick question on something I noticed...in your signature you have your trips listed, but there are two "5th trips"! Did one not count????

OK...I need to get ready for work. Lots going on here and I am feeling like I am drowning, so I am NOT weighing in today. I don't think my mental state could handle it. I am trying to pull myself up and get out of this funk. Pixie dust & prayers would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

[punkin413]

sorry about your bunny, noni! i'll be thinking of you.

and congrats to whoever it was a couple of posts up who's reached their goal (i don't have time to quote)!!!!!!!!!!! that's so awesome!!!

i'm down 3 pounds today! i'm definitely happy with that considering my exercise routine has been almost non-existent for the past two weeks b/c of this trial. maybe i could've lost even more if i would've been able to exercise. damn this trial! i still don't get new bling though. one pound and i'll have my 15-pound bling. maybe in a few days!

have a good friday everyone!!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Drum roll please....I am -5 this week. So I'm back down to my pre-vaca weight and my 20 lb bling is back! Now I have to work hard for the next 10 lbs. I think at 30 lbs, we get gold bling!

Good luck everybody!

Spring is finally here in NY. Ok it's 33 here now, but it's sunny and it feels warm. It's going to get up to the high 60s today and be a beuatiful weekend!

Thank you. Wow, how exciting another peep from KY. Ashland is only about a 50 minute drive from where I live. In fact, I take my children to a pediatric dentist in Ashland and if we want to eat at the Texas Roadhouse, that is where we have to go.

Good Morning! Running behind schedule, so only perused the last page.
