GOOD AFTERNOON, PEEPS!!!

To celebrate the big four digit post, I just wanted to tell you all how much I appreciate the friendship and comradery I have found on this thread. Thank you all for caring about me and each other. I truly feel that I am blessed to know you. I wanted to include this poem because even though I've never "seen" any of you, I think you are all beautiful.

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

--Sam Levenson

First, WOOOO HOOOOOTY on 1,000 posts Melinda!

Secondly, I have to say that between SexyLexy's post and a comment a friend of mine made the other day, I have come to a realization. I have really just begun this lifestyle change. I mean, I have been at it for not quite 2 months, and it will be a long road. I have had some success, and I am confident that I will have more. And simply making the changes and starting the journey has made me a happier person! Not that this is shocking, but I feel like I have already succeeded just by making the effort. Today I feel like its a certainty that I will eventually get to where I want to be weight/health-wise. And that is an amazing feeling! It has felt like so long since I was there, and now I feel like I am on my way home or something. It's like when we leave for WDW. It's a long trip, but I'm happy just to be on the way. I also realized that I don't think I would be having this kind of success this time if it weren't for you all. I have never believed in scales, and I have not gone down a size yet. If I didn't know that I had lost 15 lbs already, I would be getting very frustrated. I probably wouldn't be writing down what I ate every day either. And I know I wouldn't be as disciplined if I didn't have to be accountable to you all. So, I just want to thank you all for being here! Love you all! Is it January '08 yet? I want to hug me some Peeps!

 

[eeyore45]

OK Fidge needs Peeps in her network, I dont have Bee... and who else??? Its not like we have anything else do to or anything...

[aldisneygrl]

I would like more friends too. I promise I don't stink. I used my Jean Nate today.

 

[angelicswtnss]

Hi everyone. I am a newbie and I love the DIS. My family and I are going to WDW again this year(3rd time), so I decided to do bit of planning/research and found you guys . I read a few pages from this thread and I am totally hooked. I would love to join if it's ok. I just started the SIX WEEK BODY MAKEOVER yesterday and I need alot of support. I already cheated and ate something last night that I wasn't supposed to . I love the way you all interact with each other and actually care about each other. I am trying to lose at least 50 pounds by June 16 (My birthday and the day before we leave to WDW). Thanks for listening

 

[eeyore45]

Welcome Angel!!! Its a long road, slow and steady wins the race!! Hang on - its a bumpy ride!!!

I tried the BM plan - I love Michael Thurmond - but I was unable to give up all those condiments!! Have you tried their forums? I really got hooked on the bodymakeover Boot Camps they had - they have lots of recipes that are on your plan (I think I was a body type C) Good luck!!

Hey peeps, just want to let y'all know I'm still here. I've been keeping up, just haven't felt like posting. I'm in some sort of funk, I feel like carp, I'm tired and grouchy. Tonight, I'm sitting here with my gut hanging over my pants and feeling like a slob. (they are tinly little hipster pants though so hanging over is a given.....) I just typed out a whole depressing post but don't want to affect everyone else.

I really feel like things are falling apart. I guess I'm going to have to find a way to deal with how I'm feeling. I'm about to get angry about things and I don't want to let it go on y'all.

If I don't post for a while, please know I'm thinking about everyone and talk about you frequently.

MHL _ GRAB THE WAGON PEEP!!

I do so know where you are coming from. I have left diet and exercise behind for a bit... trying to find my spirit first... but its just an excuse for me isnt it? There is always "tomorrow"... when am I going to matter enough to me? When am I going to stop whining, and just do it?

Dont leave me!! Do you have your profile/network set up???

 

[eeyore45]

MHL - I tried to send you a message, I got the response... "YOU MAY NOT SEND MORE THAN 10 MESSAGES PER DAY... please try again tomorrow"

Hey, no fair, I just started playing!!

come play MHL... come out and play!!

 

[the Fidge]

Evening all! MElinda WOOOO HOOOOTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might I say another lovely pick me upo toiday courtesy of Melinda!

MHL - NO fair if I can't isolate no one can and by the way Sandy won't let us!! Thank God for that too!!!

I collapsed at school and was seen by my Dr who gave me an earful about working the 3 jobs! He insisted I let them go and keep the one. As a driver for school we have physicals and my doc threatened to report to the school that he is suspending my physical medical clearance. I had to resing over the phone at Dr office to realtor. I felt like such a weenie. I had a fever of 104 and he is very concerned about the lupus and how he feels I am treating my body rather unkindly!

You know I wanted to stop at the gorcery store and buy something really bad but I did not. Came home and had my "healthy" stuff followed by some water!

DH took it well. DS was a wee bummed saying OMG how are you going to tkae me and my friend skiing this weekend...you promised Mom! It must be great to be a 11 yo whose biggest worry is when Mom is going to take him skiing next??? PErsonally I pray he worry 1/2 as much about his grades and cleaning his room!

Its ok I love that boy! ANyway I am now transporting a new student who would break your heart and reminded me to count my blessings! SHe cannot talk and is the exact same age and cannot walk or eat anything not feed by syringes. I will tkae my wows! I will take my bratty sloppy boy over the heartache that Mom must feel everyday.

OK enough of my chatter, MHL careful I can PM you I haven't reached my limit! I will go on and on about my silly nonslensical life, and by full of typos galore!!! Now I know thats cruel but you are asking for it!!!

Aires - WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO TAKE ME I WILL BEHAVE!!!! I PROMISE!!!!

Hey Peeps,

I have a couple requests for Pixie Dust please. (not in order of importance)

1) I just registered for tickets to see the Ellen show taped at Universal for the end of March. I went last year and it was a blast!

2) My mouth is sort of bugging me today and it has me worried. My sutures on the one side came out and it looks totally normal. The other side still has them in. But I can tell they are getting loose. But I looked at my mouth today and there is a big gap between my last tooth and where the gum starts instead of being continuous (sorry if thats confusing). It hurts a teensy bit but I was just at the dentist on Friday and he said everything looked great . I'm fearing that I have some odd form of dry socket that takes extra long to come out. Any thoughts as to what the problem is? I know I need to chew on that side to get the sutures out but I don't want to chew on that side because it's bugging me **Actually I just looked and it doesn't look as weird. BUT it's freaking me out and a teensy bit sore so...

3) My uncle is in the hospital. I actually haven't seen him in many years but it's my favorite aunt's husband. He's been having lots of health problems lately and was admitted on Friday for pneumonia. I think he's gonna be ok but it seems like everytime my mom talks to my aunt he is sick with one thing or another.

Thanks Peeps! I truly believe in the power of Peep Prayers and Pixie Dust.

My test tonight went very well. I'm pretty sure anyway. Just have to study for the small test tomorrow night and get some things together. I'm soooo tired! I can't wait for Friday (my sleep in day).



P.S. I think I'm gaining this week. Bummer. I half expected it since I was basically in starvation mode for 2 weeks but I do not like seeing those numbers go up. I'm still struggling to eat all of my points but I think the biggest problem is that I have no desire to drink water anymore. I never had that problem. But I think it's gonna really affect my weight loss this week. That and what I have been eating seems to be nothing good for you and loaded with salt. There is still hope though. I just gotta drink drink drink!

 

[dismom9761]

I have just caught up on about three days worth and now don't have time for a proper post but thougt I better post something or ya'll would forget about me.Iy has been crazy around here and I fell off the wagon and waited so long I couldn't find the tracks. I have been exrcising but not doing well with my food.I feel horrible.....

Things I remember-
Fidge,please listen to your Dr. and do what he says!!

Danielle,HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!

MHL,that is how I have been feeling but come back with me!All the PEEPS love ya.

Angel,WELCOME!!

Melinda,loved the poem and WOOOHOOTY!! on the posts!

Well I have to go play taxi driver and pick up my girls.

 

[denecarter]

I just started the SIX WEEK BODY MAKEOVER yesterday and I need alot of support.

I did that two years ago and lost 40 pounds... then I fell off the wagon. Gained that back plus about 10 more. I'm not currently "doing" any particular plan... just eating as healthy as I can, exercising lots, and drinking tons of water. If I'm remembering correctly, what I'm doing is probably pretty darn close to SWBM. Anyway, this is a great place for support! Welcome aboard!

I feel like carp.

I felt like tuna tonight ... but I didn't take it out of the freezer early enough . I'll have to have it tomorrow.

(okay, so it was a REALLY lame attempt at cheering you up)

MHL _ GRAB THE WAGON PEEP!!

We've even got a rope dangling off 'fer ya!

I'm still struggling to eat all of my points but I think the biggest problem is that I have no desire to drink water anymore. I never had that problem. But I think it's gonna really affect my weight loss this week. That and what I have been eating seems to be nothing good for you and loaded with salt. There is still hope though. I just gotta drink drink drink!

Instead of "mindless eating", I've been trying to retrain myself to "mindless drinking"... always having water nearby and taking a drink often... have it at the gym, at school, in the car, in front of the tv... everywhere. That's one way I sock down an average of 5-6 LITERS per day (that's 1.5 gallons or 165+ ounces).

I collapsed at school and was seen by my Dr who gave me an earful about working the 3 jobs!

Listen to him! I was wondering how you (or anybody) could hold up to that kind of a schedule. Extra money is no good if you're too sick/tired/worn out to spend it.

 

[S.Poppins]

Just read the last page so I need to go back and catch up!

Fidge - Slow down!!!! Get some rest!!! I suggest 2 days of total rest and Dis!

Shannon - I remember watching Ellen at Universal last year and thought it would be so great to be there!

Wendy should be home soon!

 

[S.Poppins]

I'm leaving for the mouse tomorrow.!!! Cant wait!! I will think of you all and be back in 6 days! wwpd? keep in slimming!

WOOOHOOOOTY - LUCKY!!!
Have a strawberry swirl, school bread and funnel cake for me! I won't tell anyone I promise!

Alright MHL - when all else fails I will throw myself under the wagon and allow you to climb back on board...heres my lay down, this is your drink warning

I went to the tanning bed the other day after my workout...and I flipped on my belly so as to try to tan the front...well I dont reckon I got myself smoothed out as well as I thought and I have a white line running up my belly from where my fat was squunched up at my belly button. ..gross, whats worse is I was inspecting this when DH walked in and said.."thats strange how'd you do that?" at the same time that I realized that my fat rolls got in the way...

there you go - I am totally humilliated -
