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

[aldisneygrl]

I Maintained!

I know that isn't something to really celebrate, but I have been BAD this week, so I'll take it. UM, I can't join in on the cheat free day since it is DS birthday, and a coworkers (means we order out again) birthday. I just won't be able to resist the cookie cake for DS, so I promise, and cross my DIS Heart, that I will do a cheat free day next week, in your honor.

Happy Birthday Dene! Can't wait to see how much you lose this week! That will be a great birthday present!

I just realized you and my son have the same birthday! How cool is that?

Like I said, won't be around much this weekend, since I am going to work with the youth at the "butt crack of Bob" (is that how you say it? ) in the morning!

I've been an absentee poster this week. We are busy getting our house ready to sell, and we are having a Realtor come through this weekend to see what kind of price they think we can get. It is the 3rd Realtor in the past two weeks to do so, so we'll probably settle on one after Sunday. They broke ground on our new house yesterday, despite the lousy weather we have been having. So that is very exciting.

Anyway, I'm just checking in quick to record my 0.5 lb weight loss (that is 1/2 pound, in case you didn't see the "0." in front of the "5") for this week. I'm a little bummed about it, because I haven't been cheating at all. And I did really good exercising this week. But as I said last week and will continue to say - slow and steady wins the race. That gives me a total of 12 pounds lost since the beginning of the year. So I can't really complain about that.

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!

I think that the courthouse security is lacking. Because I have an attorney's id card, I don't have to go through the metal detector or get my bags searched. I think everyone should be subject to the security rules.

That must have been terrifying to go through!

 

[winkers]

I'm up .6

I'm going to guess that it's because I couldn't excercise all week because I've been sick. Ds has the same thing as me and he has no appetite, while I still manage to be hungry!

 

[winkers]

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

i'm 30 years old. i'm 5'3" and i weigh about 160 (eeekkkk!!!!!!!! that's a hard one to be honest about!). i work out 3-4 times a week with a mix of weights and cardio. my best friend is a fitness trainer, so she really helps me with my workouts and i enjoy them - it's the hour out of the day that i can just think of nothing but getting through this workout - no work, no family, no drama, no finances, nothing. i eat healthy, not cutting out carbs completely but trying to do the "good carb" thing with whole wheat everything and lots of lean meat, fruits, veggies. i'm not too stressed out with my life, i love my job and i have a wonderful marriage.

so how come i can't get into the shape i want to???

i began using a fat burner (lipo 6) on the advice of my fitness trainer friend at the beginning of january. that was 2 months ago. now i don't expect to drop 6 sizes in that amount of time, but i just took an updated bathing suit picture to see how i'm doing and i'm not noticing ANY difference! it's so frustrating and discouraging.

i've always had a big butt and thick legs. it's in my genes. i know i can't get away from it. so i KNOW i'll never be a size 4. my goal is to get down to 130, although i don't want to concentrate too much on my weight because i do work out a lot and i know i'm building muscle, which accounts for a good bit of that weight.

i'm thinking of trying out a diet, but i have no idea where to start. i've never done anything like weight watchers or nutrisystem.....just kind of winged it on my own.

any advice????????

I had to laugh because you are at my goal weight!! I'm not a good one for diet advice because I'm just doing my own thing. But there are alot of others here who can.

Tiptoeing in.... Hi Peeps - remember me?
Yes, I'll admit I've been avoiding the thread lately. I've just been so dicouraged and disgusted with myself, I couldn't bring myself to visit. The flu may have kicked my behind, but the antibiotics did a nice job of kicking the rest of me. I've been on Cipro for 10 days and it's made me insanely nauseous and my lower abdomen is distended to the point where I look pregnant. And I've put on another 4-5 pounds to boot.
I haven't been able to exercise at all; even the smallest efforts left me fighting to catch my breath.

BUT... today is the last day of Cipro and my lungs, while not 100%, are better and I know I need to get back on track. I'll admit that I don't have a lot to lose, weight-wise, but it's still such a struggle for me. I still don't aim to be skinny-skinny, but I can't keep trying to fool myself into thinking I'm happy with my body as it is. I'm not. And it's going to change.

So, as of tomorrow, here's what's going to happen:
1. I start the South Beach diet. I've done it before and it was hellatious, but effective. I need fast results to stay motivated to keep it off.
2. Yoga at least every other day while in Phase 1 of SBD. I know from past experience that I cannot combine aerobic activity with Phase 1, and this gives my lungs a chance to recover.
3. Treadmill, Tae-Bo, or other aerobic activity at least 4 times a week during Phase 2 and beyond. No ifs, ands or buts.
4. Check in with my Peeps before checking my other subscriptions. No more falling far, far behind and no more avoiding the accountability.

W.I.S.H me luck peeps! I know I can do it - I need help wanting to do it!

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.

WELCOME BACK all you missing Peeps, its just not the same without you!!
Punkin you'll see, we're all just a bunch of nuts here!! Cant imagine what you must've gone thru with the courthouse shooting!! I work in the public schools - (nice easy, all good kids!!) (oh I'm a perm. sub.)

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!

WOOHOOTY Pixie Dustixiedust: your ribbon looks pretty!!

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.

Great idea Melinda -

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.

That's what I thought, but I really believe that the main exercise is keeping your heartrate at 65% while exercising to loose weight, whereas most places have you reach upwards of 75% to "sweat" if off... the stretching well, I've given you a lot of that - with the bands and the ball - any program that you can find will work, if YOU WORK IT!! Promise... that's where I fall down...

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!!!!!

UTMama dont give up on us yet!! I ya, its hardest when we come in from a vacation - because while we're there everything is FANTASMIC(disney speak for fantastic!) and we do EVERYTHINGwe can as FANTASMICALLY as we can, take it all in... then we come home and have to reprocess, reprogram... so dont be so hard on yourself... remember MJ, Life is short, grab for all the gusto - and you have a lot of gusto woman!! YOU DID IT You did DISNEY the best way - with your family, with your loves of your life... and met up with the love of your life... MICKEY MOUSE!!

THE MUPPETS
This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.
I'm going to go back there someday.

I just love this song!! Thought I'd share it, something Punkinwrote, reminded me of this...

Has anyone "seen" Bee lately? I know hunkythreadguy, was going to be out of town for awhile. Just wondering iff everything is going ok, with her new job.

 

[UtahMama]

[pixie dust 112]

Ya! Where's our Bee???? She cant be working THAT much, can she?

I'll Pm her to let her know we miss her and we're looking for her!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Where's twinkie? Is Ellister all right after the storms?

If you peeps are lurking check in...I worry about you when you're missing. Amazing how I've become so attached and so concerned about all of my "imaginary friends"!

 

[pixie dust 112]

[DisneyObsession]

I gained .5 lbs this week. YUCK!!! Next week needs to be better! I have only lossed 2lbs since Jan 1st!!! I am very frustrated, but not giving up! I'd like to lose 15lbs by my nieces wedding in June. Not unreasonable and very doable.
Now to get my rear in gear!!!

Punkin!

I have been worried about Bee & Dan as well. I pray all is well! Maybe the plastic stuff is keeping them very busy!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Thanks Spongie! I have a 12 pack of cherry diet puppies. That's about all I've drank today because I NEED to wake the heck UP! I love you for always thinking of me!!!!

 

[duncanssweetie]

Welllllllll, since it's weigh in day I guess I will post my LOSS of 2 pounds !!!

It's not much but I think I am losing inches, too. I wore a pair of pants yesterday that were a little snug last week and yesterday they were almost too loose. So something must be working

Today will be my official last weigh in until AFTER my trip. I KNOW I am going to be so busy over the next two weeks getting ready and probably won't make the best choices food wise and I don't want to get discouraged.
PLUS if I wait to weigh myself after I get home then I won't know "for sure" how much I gained while there, make sense?

OH AND I have a rough draft of a PRE TR in the making that I will try to get posted by Sunday evening no later than Monday, I'm not promising Epic, record breaking, award winning UM material but it should be entertaining, LOL.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENE

 

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, I'm in a bit of a hurry here, but wanted to quote a few and post my loss. That's right - loss! After staying the same last week (I blame AF!), I LOST 4.2 lbs! That brings my total to 19.2 lbs! I am now at 230.8, so I should totally hit 20 next week and get a pretty new ribbon! I am thrilled! And I am going to work my boo-tay off this week, I swear! I only exercised twice this past week, so what could I have accomplished if I had gotten off my tookus and worked it?

happy anniversary!!!!!!!! ours is actually april 13th. but we're not going in april because we're scared of the spring break crowds! so we postponed our "celebration" about 3 weeks.

Understandable! Hope you have a great time!

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!

Welcome!

I'm +3 lbs.

It was bound to happen. I was practically starving myself so my body is holding on to whatever it can. I will say this. This gain is NOT because I cheated or went over my points or anything bad. I followed WW perfectly this week. Hopefully my body will adjust this coming week and I can lose 3 or close to it by then. Of course AF is coming next week and very likely right on weigh day. But it will all even out in the end!

Good luck everyone!

Well, that's to be expected, and even if you stay the same or gain due to AF next week, I bet you'll have a BIG loss the week after!

I've got to do a flyby since I have to go to work..........sigh

I'm the same this week. I'm a bit sad but with the way I've been feeling, it's no surprise.

I'm feeling a bit better, so hopefully next week I can be a bit more focused. I have a long weekend planned for next week so I won't be weighing in. Hopefully I'll have a really big number in two weeks. I'll be back later tonight or over the weekend.

Glad to hear you are doing a little better. Keep on keepin' on! I know you can do this!

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!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENE!!!!

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 ​

Hope you feel okay when the numbness wears off!

Hey V - we have missed you!

You guys have been very chatty since last night! Check in later!​

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Lost 2 pounds!

Have a GREAT birthday, DENE'!!!

Congrats to all the losers and the Peeps with new bling! Keep the faith, stay the samers and gainers, and next week will be better!

Lynda, you're SO close to your 20 pounds! I'm hoping to hit 15 next week.

I skipped my swim class last night because I think I strained a ligament in my hip, but I'm going to make sure to go both times next week after I give it a little rest.

I'll let Twinkie know she has been missed around here. Her DH got a new job and she has been busy getting her house ready to sell.
