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

[MA pigletfan]

Morning peeps.
i just wanted to jump on here and say that my past few weeks echo many of you on here...last week was iffy for eating a few days but the exercise i did i THOUGHT would bring me a loss..but it didn't..so frustrating. BUT i know i have to keep on keepin' on..or rather keep on PEEPIN' on...and eventually I will see the results i know are in the cards for me...and all of us!
Have a great day everyone..and welcome newbies

Interesting...

Once again while home and watching TV Dr Oz and his YOU on a Diet were on - his website is free, www.realage.com

Dene was talking about those "updogs" and I think Stacey mentioned how horrendous the planks are... but we all need a jump start - so I'm going to go with this, 20 min is do able...

and it makes sense to all of us how we HAVE to incorporate some physical activities into our Healthy Lifestyle!

They were on Good Morning America today, and you did have to lol when he said you dont have to have a gym, just go out and walk and 3 times a week this 20 min routine, all you need is your underwear to do!! (and truly when I get up, I dont want to "get dressed"... so maybe I should get serious!!)

They also spent time discussing how the muscle burns fat even when you arent weight lifting (and the 20 min routine is based on lifting YOU as the weight ie the planks and up dogs!!) FAT stores energy... and I have stored WAY too much energy!!

He also mentioned you need to sweat 1 hour per week (and break it up!!) muscle burns 50X's more

OOooooo Count me in!

I'm only 18 but severely overweight! I need to lose practically 100 pounds to be a "healthy weight" (according to the charts). I have a bigger build so I don't know if I could make it down to 140. I'd be happy with 165-175lbs. All I know is that I'm tired of being overweight.

I'm going to WDW in January 2008 with my best friend (her first time) and I want to enjoy it!

Awwww! I'm old enough to be your mother! My DS17 is turning 18 this May ...

You are a hoot, I can tell! You'll love it here. It moves fast and sometime you'll feel ignored just because its SO fast! But your not ignored, nosiree.

Now I'm all stressed to say cool stuff (the stuff that MORTIFIES my DS). Eh, I wont do that to ya!!!

Welcome, welcome! You can do it! Thank God you're doing it NOW and not when you're MY age (40 this year, yipes!). It's hard work and I'm lazy alot but these peeps keep me focused!


WEeigh day is Friday morning in case you didn't know.

Oh, would you and the newbies post a little something about yourselves??? Especially about the weight struggles. Like, I always like to hear what moment you decided to lose the weight????


For me it was not fitting on a rollercoaster seat and wearing the biggest size Lane Bryant makes and it was too small (28 is the biggest IN store). I was traumatized with those two events!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I'm going to preface my post by saying that I had a post with replies all ready to send last night, and the boards went down! I saved it at home, so I will post it later on tonight. If I remember something, I may go ahead and post it now. But, don't count on me remembering much!

Welcome!!! This is a great place! I have found so much support here! And UtahMama is right! Doing this at your age is SO much better than waiting! (I'm 33.) It gets harder the older you get! If you can get it off and keep it off, you will be so thankful!

OK Ladies...I need a hand back on the wagon.

It seems no matter what/how much I eat I can't lose. If I do WW, count calories, whatever, nothing seems to work. I lost 4 lbs last week, but only because I had a stomach flu. This week, 3 lbs are back on! I am frustrated and ready to say "The heck with it."

Please...I need inspiration, ideas, a good swift kick in the pants!! Something to help me along here.

Thanks in advance for the help. You guys are the bestest!

I'm reaching out for ya! I don't know much about WW, but I find that with calorie counting, sometimes you have to tweek it (As I am having to do right now) to get things moving or moving again.

I don't think I ever mentioned it here before, but DH and I have been taking his youngest sis to Cedar Point the past couple of years for her birthday (in July). I am sure we will do it again this year. Now, I LOVE me some rollercoasters, and even I was nervous about riding one of them a few years ago when we went with a friend of Josh's. Well, the past 2 years when we have taken DSIL, I have gotten up the nerve to do it (mostly because of her youthful enthusiasm - she is going to be 20 this year), and I can't ride because I can't get the belt fastened! There are a lot of people who have to walk away, but I feel awful when I can't ride it even though I want to! So, another goal for me...be able to ride Millenium Force this year at Cedar Point!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Can I join in the fun. I just found this thread. I started losing weight last May for my up coming Disney trip in August. I lost 40 lbs by the trip. I have continued and I have now lost over 80 lbs and I would like to lose 38 more. To keep me motivated I have decided to run the Minnie marathon in 2008 to celebrate changing my life. At least it sounds good on paper, but now the reality of running 15k is starting to set in. I may have lost my mind. Must be all this dieting

Can I join too???

The weather just turned warm here in So. Cal. Bathing suit season in March is just cruel and unusual, and I'm not ready for it!

I did WW online a few years ago and had sucess with it, so I think I will try that again.

My goal is to lose 25 pounds by Aug, for my WDW vacation. Wearing shorts that are a size too small does not do good things to your inner thighs. I learned that painful lesson last summer!

Looking forward to meeting you all, and getting back on the right track!

Welcome! The more the merrier.

Hey everyone...I am out of our local house of horrors. Here is the condensed version. I had phylo-nephrites (SP???) which is where the infection settles into the kidney. Usually w/ UTI's etc. it starts in the bladder and works its way up but this actually started in the right kidney where I do not have full functioning. If I could explain what is like to pee on needles while lava is flowing out of your HooHobber and the intense need to get that lava out is like someone twisting a knife inside and by the way Rocky is giving blows to the right side of your back...yeah...that is a kidney infection.

Then the great part is that you need pain medicine...which causes nausia to set in and vommiting to insue. This of course means that they want you to eat because w/ food you won't be so sick..but you have to stop throwing up long enough to eat. I have no pride in telling you I had to have my Mommy come get me on Friday because I could not even walk by myself.

So there was a few hot male nurses...hot Dr.s and my Chef de'Room service was smokin... but that could have been an illusion of the Dillodid and Percoset and Levaquin Trifecta I was on... if they had 3 teeth on the same jaw...I saw beauty. Did get sponge baths though...

I need to go to the Mayo now and see some specialists. Not sure what I want as an end result. No really great outcome.

Meanwhile...back in the real world...I need help if anyone is willing. Through my work I have a goal that is ending this month after 7 months of hard work. Missing 5 days was crucial on top of the whole foot injury of 3 weeks ago. I am worried it will be close. So...

If anyone needs some free Tupperware..please P.M. me and I will get you tons if you help me out by having a book party/e-party etc. No pressure just know God provides to those who ask and I am starting to ask...Have learned recently that counting only on myself does not allow others to help and know how much I need them. Believe me...I have missed u guys and letting you know I do need u in my life.

Dawn, glad your home from the hospital. Will continue to remember you in prayers.


Thank you Disneyfreak92, dance2874, eeyore 45 and S.Poppins for responding to my post. I think I'll hold off on adding the Water Park option until we arrive and only if we have really warm weather during our stay and decide to visit a water park. Thanks again.

 

[dance2874]

We just might have to have ourselves a little mini-Peep meet... I'm looking at a plastic surgeon up in your general area (Plano)

Ok, can I be nosey and ask what you are planning to have done? I want to have a "twin" reduction when I am done losing weight and after my next (and last) baby, maybe a tummy tuck if I can afford that too. I have alot of loose skin and stretch marks from my baby, and I already have a c-section scar, so why not.

I don't think I ever mentioned it here before, but DH and I have been taking his youngest sis to Cedar Point the past couple of years for her birthday (in July). I am sure we will do it again this year. Now, I LOVE me some rollercoasters, and even I was nervous about riding one of them a few years ago when we went with a friend of Josh's.

OMG, I LOVE Cedar Point...it is The Amazement Park you know. Do they still call it that? I miss that place. When we go back to OH to visit I try to get there but we always run out of time

Welcome to all our newbies!

dohgusgusI feel like I am built the exact same way as you. I dont look like what the scale says and those charts are so wrong. I could never get below about 160 and be healthy without surgery. I carry my weight in my chest and I have alot of muscle, it is just hiding under my fat

 

[dohgusgus]

So where are you from? Are you in school?

Okay guys, since I have to be up in 4 hours I should try to go to sleep! Good night!

I live in California and I am currently finishing my first year of full time college.

 

[daisy_77]

Good afternoon, Peeps!

Last night I had finally had caught up and had nice little responses to everyone and 's for all the newbies...but right when I went to post it the DIS went down...but I did read back all the way to Friday night! Yay me! A couple of things I do remember:

harleygirl-I hope that you are feeling better! I think it was your thyroid...(correct me if I am wrong)...I have known several women with thyroid problems and they have it under control with medication. My prayers go out to you!

disneydawn-I am glad that you are out of the hospital! Get well! We are all thinking about you! Prayers also coming to you!

I hope that you are all having a great Wednesday! It is half way to the weekend! Don't forget to wear green on Sat!

 

[harleygirl]

We LOVE Newbies! Just post a bio about yourselves, and don't listen to Harley about the bathing suit pic, but if you feel compelled please go right ahead!

what - didn't you post a bikini pic??? was i the only one???!!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

OK Ladies...I need a hand back on the wagon.

It seems no matter what/how much I eat I can't lose. If I do WW, count calories, whatever, nothing seems to work. I lost 4 lbs last week, but only because I had a stomach flu. This week, 3 lbs are back on! I am frustrated and ready to say "The heck with it."

Please...I need inspiration, ideas, a good swift kick in the pants!! Something to help me along here.

Thanks in advance for the help. You guys are the bestest!

Ok, the book part of it is easy: Eat less, Move more!!!

But, what's going on with the head part of it? That's the million dollar question! THAT's what you can use our collective experience to help!


I hope you are better, girlfriend!

 

[aries1980]

Afternoon everyone.... Um you see the Pic I posted for you? And did your surprise ever come?

 

[Disneyfreak92]

OMG, I LOVE Cedar Point...it is The Amazement Park you know. Do they still call it that? I miss that place. When we go back to OH to visit I try to get there but we always run out of time

They do still call it that! And boy, is it ever! I will miss it if we get to move to Florida. I was soooooo close to being able to buckle that stupid seat belt too! I tell you, it was like the buckle could touch, but I couldn't get it fastened. So, I think it's totally reasonable that I can take off a couple of inches around the ol' hips and be sreamin' on that 300 ft tall monster this summer! (That would be me on the ride. I scream AND giggle on rollercoasters.)


I remembered a couple of the things I wanted to post last night!

Dene and Grumpy - WOW! You guys are rockin' it! Way to go!

Dawn - So glad to hear you are home! (I know I had more to say here, but I don't remember what all it was.)

Shannon & others struggling with staying on the wagon - I like to look at a picture of myself at or near my goal weight for inspiration. Also, one of the things that really helped me change my frame of mind when I started out this time was actually something I read here on the Peep thread! It might have even been before I joined officially. I don't remember. I don't remember who posted it either. (sorry!) But it was talking about putting signs on your fridge, cabinets, etc. that said "The answers are not in here!" It just made so much sense to me. And I often think of that phrase when I really want something I shouldn't have. For me, it works. I just have to have a little conversation with myself in my head sometimes. Like, "Hey, you know you are stronger than this "urge" you are having. And what you put in your mouth is going to affect not only the way you look, but also the way you feel, both physically and mentally. You really have to look at the big picture here! If you don't stick with this, it will not work, and you will be right back where you have been so many times before, and it's not a good place. Just do it this time! And you will feel SOOOOOOOO good about yourself - much better than any sugary/greasy/bad-for-you snack that you could possibly find! Now, what is really bugging you? Deal with that!" Then, I usually tell myself to get off my high horse and agree not to eat whatever it was I was thinking about eating. Actually, it really works for me, but you have to find whatever it is that works for you. Oh, I just had a thought! If you know when you joined this thread, you could go back and read your early posts to see if it would remind you of what kind of frame of mind you were in when you started this journey and maybe to recapture that feeling?

Afternoon everyone.... Um you see the Pic I posted for you? And did your surprise ever come?

I don't know about UM, but mine never got here either.

Thank you! You always give the best advice and if I could get half as dedicated as you are I'd be golden! I was doing well today and then I started to see myself slipping. In terms of my frame of mind - not anything that I had eaten. I weighed myself when I got home (which is just about 24 hours from my official weigh in at WW) and I'm up .5 lb. It is a gain but I just got AF last night (she must have hitched a ride with someone because she finally made it to town) and I'm feeling totally bloated. I really don't want to blow it tonight and I really want to get back on track. I took a water pill to help with the bloat and I plan on taking another in the a.m. along with tons of water and just eating smart. I just need to get through tomorrow night (WW night) and then start fresh with a new attitude. I need to plan my meals better too. I'm on the go a lot and I was so good at packing my lunch and good for me snacks and lately I've been slipping so I haven't had enough food with me and then I get too hungry and end up eating something from a vending machine, store, etc. I do not want to do that anymore. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing your advice with me. It definitely sticks but I'm just waiting for everything to click back together again. Thanks to everyone else too That wagon must be pretty full, because I keep falling out! We need seatbelts

What an adorable little Cocker Spaniel! She looks a lot like my little Molly. Only my little Molly is a bit chubbier than your Daizie. Hmmm, I wonder if I should get Molly to post on here?

Welcome! I'm doing the same as you -- WW online, trying to lose some weight before our trip in September. So far I've lost 13 pounds since the start of the year, 37 in about two years (I took a year and three months off from WW after I got married Aug '05, so about 37 pounds in 7 1/2 non-consecutive months).

[dohgusgus]

Good afternoon everyone (or good evening to all you east-coasters)!
I hope everyone is succeeding in today's challenge of keeping on the diet and exercising.

Today is my third consecutive day of exercising and I am so proud of myself. Usually I work out two days in a row and then decide I should take a break the third day but never continue past that. It's a really bad habit.

My mom and I are trying to do the Fiber35 diet. We watched a PBS program about this diet. The whole thing to lose weight besides working out and dieting is to have at LEAST 35g of fiber each day (and no I don't run to the bathroom every hour ). Today I have had 16 so far and plan on reaching way past 35g.

Diet today has been good

breakfast- egg omelete w/ 1 slice ham + high fiber cereal
lunch - chicken breast strips with a side salad & diet coke
I am going to go have my snack right now, probably 1-2 fruits (oranges or apples)

Water count so far: 4c.


oh and my "inspiration" for this weight loss (besides health factor) is that my dad said he will pay me for my efforts+ weight loss. So i need to workout enough for him to pay for some or all of my trip next year

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

Hello everyone...to those who have commented in the last day... Thanks for the greetings...I see Dawn is back on again....


Hello Dawn. I hope all is going better for you. I am sure you will enjoy the conversation here. The peeps are great folks and they will support you.

Love to all the peeps
