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

[pigget74]

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

Hi! New to this thread. Can someone give me a quick synopsis? I would like to lose about 20lbs and have joined weight watchers. Is there a particular diet you are doing or is this mainly for support? Can I join - you all sound like fun!

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.

WOW--I did not realize this.

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......?
That is what I thought

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?

By the end of the day my blood pressure was up. After the first one my kids had had it. Their behavior the last 45 min. of the day was horrendus and then to have to go to the hallway--it made it worse. So lets just say the extra 40 minutes with 8th graders was a vision of what hell would be like. I was so exhausted. Had a hair appt. at 5:30 and by the time I got there my girl said--wow you look wiped--sleeping well lately---just the day. I made it home by 7:45 and crashed almost immediatly. Still very tired today, but won't be able to rest much this weekend.

After I got caught up from the last couple of pages and made a few replies I am out of time. Have to go get me and the kids ready for school. Have a good one everyone.

Hey Peeps! Have you seen my pretty new ribbon??? I'm down 1today bringing my total to 20. So my first babystep goal has been met. My next goal will be 10 pounds (i've got a lot of these babsteps to go!) Good luck at weigh in everybody!!!

 

[punkin413]

so i'm guessing the weigh in thing works like this: you start out at whatever weight you are and you post how much you've lost or gained every friday? if so, i just weighed myself and i'm at 158 pounds. i don't really have a goal weight. i'd like to get down to 130, but i don't want to concentrate too hard on the numbers because i work out a lot so i'm building lots of muscle. working out's not the problem for me - i love it - the food is what kills me. well, that and my genes, my slow metabolism and the estrogen!!! haha.

so i'm off to a deposition today and then on the way home i'm gonna go by borders to buy something to start my food journal in (that begins tomorrow). and i *will* drink double the water i normally do today. at least i hope i will! give me a break....i'm a realist!

oh, and happy birthday, dene! even though i don't know you yet.

You got it right! Are you a lawyer, a court reporter or a witness for the deposition? I'm a lawyer. Good luck at the deposition!

Hi! I kept my food journal in MS Excel so I had a running total all day long. I counted calories (12 calories X goal weight=number of calories per day). If you keep your calories between 1500 and 1600 per day, especially with the exercising you are doing you should lose the weight in no time.

And I knew I was the official thread killer (I can hear the crickets chirping now!) As soon as I went to bed last night everyone started talking again!!!

 

[punkin413]

You got it right! Are you a layer, a court reporter or a witness for the deposition. I'm a lawyer. Good luck at the deposition!

i'm a court reporter. it's the most sedentary job ever known to man!!! that's why my butt is slowly beginning to resemble a small country.

we're taking a doctor's depo today and they need it by monday....big bucks for me!!! just more money for me to spend at WDW in may!

what kind of law do you practice?

 

[dragonfly18]

And on that 6 week makeover plan...all I really wanted was the Exercise Videos and stretchy bands. I can't be that diet restrictive.

I do general practice. I do a lot of municipal work, zoning and planning and a lot of wills and estate work. The only thing I totally avoid is criminal and family law!

i would avoid that stuff if i could!!! my court reporting firm covers all the court proceedings in our circuit, which consists of 3 counties. so i see LOTS of criminal stuff and quite a bit of family law. actually the family law is usually the craziest stuff i hear! but the criminal stuff can get to you. right now i'm typing a child molestation trial. that sort of thing can really get to me sometimes.

don't know if you guys remember, but there was a courthouse shooting in jackson county, georgia back in august 2006. it was on the national news b/c my parents live in TN and they saw it. and this one is not the one that happened almost 2 years ago in fulton county, the brian nichols one. what a shame it is that i have to tell you guys *which* courthouse shooting i'm referring to! anyway, i was the court reporter there that day. scary stuff, especially since the court reporter (and judge) from the brian nichols case were shot and killed.

okay....now that i've depressed everyone.........sorry about that! go have a wonderful friday!

Happy Birthday Dene​

I lost 2lbs It's all this school stress!

Punkin, Angel & Madsofa

I'm so pleased everyones OK after the storms.

sample day -
b- egg whites and blueberries
s - 1/2 c grns 3 oz protein(turkey, chicken, fish)
l - 1/2 potato or 1/2 c rice small portion of protein

thats the gist of it...my mom lost lots of weight on it - but it was to hard for me to stick to - i'm a wimp

Yuck

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

No we don't have to pay for the schools unless we choose to send private which is the last resort! This morning I spoke to the Head and I know this means nothing to you guys but I'm going to bore you anyway The 3 tests Jessica took were all out of 140 and you needed 120 in all to pass or two 125 and a 115 well my DD gets a 140, 139 and a 103 so I am because I feel that is brilliant, not good enough in the schools eyes to pass but we are going to appeal against the decision as she is obviously a bright girl after all! Trouble is we have to make a case and present this before a board and I will be petrified

Also I've just returned from the dentist where I had some work done and my mouth is still so numb I can't even drink so the weight will just fall off me today

 

[dance2874]

Drive by post coming through.............After the scientific process of weighing myself 3 times and taking the average (because my digital scale gives me different weights at times, although this time I got the same thing 2 times out of 3)

I am down 1.6!

Be back to post and read later.....

 

[UtahMama]

Ok! Happy No Cheating Day!

Even if NONE of you do it too, I need to!

I am surprisingly optimistic and positive...even though I've got my LYER ribbon still up. I'll have DH remove it today. What's FUNNY (to me) is I chose SALADS in Disneyland. And wayyyy too many treats...so it was FUN gaining, if that makes any sense!

Good Luck to the rest of you who are weighing In today!!!!!
