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

[dance2874]

A friend of mine just joined LA Weight Loss and I really liked her material. Looked pretty easy to follow. But the upfront is kind of high - not as bad if you sign up online. I have also looked at WW online and am considering it. I have read a lot lately about increasing dairy to 4 servings a day. Lowfat servings like skim milk, lowfat cheese, and yogurt.

Ok, I just saw a tv special about what a SCAM that is. Those 'nutritional counselors' are not trained in nutrition, they are trained to sell the LA lites stuff and for BIG money. They sucker you in with the low weekly fee but then they use what you tell them on your diet profile thing to guilt you into buying more stuff. You may want to warn your friend. This one lady on the special said she was into them for over $3k and hadnt lost a pound. They even have a credit card they try to get you approved for if you say you cant afford it.

AND....

Happy Birthday Dene!



​

You are a BIG loser this week too

Congrats to all our losers, samers and gainers. Being honest about it is such a HUGE part of the battle I think.

Off to try to catch up more....

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.

don't you hate that???? i hate it when people say "i'm so fat" and they're way smaller than me. and now i'm one of those people!!!! the 160 is bad in my mind though because i'm my worst critic and because i've never been that weight in my life. i don't have any kids and i'm only 30. everyone has their own personal "straw" that breaks the camel's back and that was mine! i'm just glad you're laughing instead of going, "you stupid little b*&#%!!!!!"

funny story: i was at express trying on clothes and there were two girls sharing a dressing room next to me, talking very loudly. one said to the other one, "oh, my god. i'm having to buy a size 4. i'm such a cow. i can't believe i'm this fat." and the other girl goes, "whatever. you are so not fat. i'm sure you can fit in a 2. those are just sized wierd." meanwhile i'm in the next dressing room biting my tongue harder than i ever have before! i wanted to go over there, open the door, punch them in the face and then offer to buy them a sandwich. i have a 2 in my size....it's just preceded by a 1!

Hey, guys! Just popping in.

Bee - so glad you checked in! You cannot go that long without saying "Hey"! Tell Grumpy we miss him too.

I still have not done that stupid Stats assignment and it stinks that I will be doing this on a Friday night!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Just checking in really quick to say hi and that I've gained 1 pound this week. I hope that everyone else had a great weigh-in day. Talk to you later. I'm off to our high school district basketball game.

Twinkie and Princess V, Thanks for checking in.Your imaginary friends worry when you disapear.

Due to all the bad weather yesterday, our youth trip got cancelled. The trailor of sod we were supposed to lay down can't be there tomorrow. At least now, I can come join in the fun!

I gotta go now because I still have to clean the house for DS family birthday party tonight.

Oh, and his cell phone just rang. I ran up there to look at it, and it was a reminder. I gave birth to him 14 years ago at that moment. How sweet is that. My how time flies though. 365 days from today, he will be allowed behind the wheel of a car to learn how to drive it!

I just love those memories - and the driving is awful!! I got 2 boys thru it, they drive like thier personalities!! 2nd born son (hardly talks, "idunno" is the most words he puts together... can be frustrating, but he is sincere, he just really is different... well we were heading down to our first WDW trip... and the boys took us to the train station at 5AM - (I forgot about that Wendy - we left TWO boys teenagers at home!! ) so we get a call at WDW... dh says... "dw sit down" (so not good) "DS was in a car accident" (oh no, please let them be ok...I almost passed out, has the insurance bill been paid?) DS #1 was so upset because DS #2 did it and didnt tell anyone!!! *sigh... it took a long time for us to trust him on the highways!!! Still not too sure 'bout that!! Good Luck!!

oops!!! I better get busy.

Me too Bee, me too!! Glad you're hanging around!

PS about that LA Weight loss, I too was desperate enough to drop the weight, and went in and signed up... it was $5 or $6 a week... for 52 WEEKS You see, they "counsel" you after you get to the weight you want... it starts out with a "cleansing" juice... then the strict every 2 hours (total day calorie was close to 1000 I believe) they calculated based on 2# per week tooo, but you had to go by their formula, next thing I knew ($100 for blood work I believe) I was in for about $500!!! I went home shaking that I spent that much money!! I read the contract, and I had 3 days to cancel, I got my butt back there the next day and canceled, and the center closed the following week!! Barely dodged that bullet!!

Look at Dene, and Lynda... the real secret is writing down what you eat, and exercising... and always remember...

Diet and exercise is NOT a punishment for getting fat... its a reward for getting healthy!!

I dont know about the other gainers today, but I have gained that pouch under my bra area... and I'm having a hard time breathing... but it served its purpose... get to work!!!

I saw that too! The "counselor" is a sales person, plain and simple! You answer an in depth questionaire with personal questions they USE to suck you in emotionally. Their saying literally was, "If they CRY, they'll BUY"!!!!!!

That's just wrong!

Even Jenny Craig would be better???? I dont know this but Kirstie Alley is my gal! I like the pre-packaged idea if you're a busy mama! I often enjoy a ww meal or my beloved Kashi meals. It's so convienient, I guess for this lazy mama!

Did AWE SOME today! But, I need to choke down some WATER!!!!! Everytime I wanted to cheat, I drank a can of diet Pepsi. It worked, sort of! I love when I'm on track!

WOOHOOTY! I know it is hard to get back on track after a vacation, so good for you for doing it today!

Confession time.....I am headed out to dinner where I fully intend on cheating. We are celebrating my b-day a few days late, and since I weighed in today I am OK to do it I guess.

My neighbor did LA Weight Loss and lost what she needed to (maybe 20 lbs?) VERY fast. She gained pretty much all of it back though almost immediately. Aside from the money scamming, it just doesn't seem very healthy.

My WW leader told us that Kirstie Alley gained some weight back. Anyone else heard this? I haven't seen any magazine pics or ads so I'm not sure.

I'm doing good today. I have some points left for a snack tonight and I'm WAY full right now from dinner. Grilled fish, brown rice, and fresh green beans. Oh and I made some pooh muffins this afternoon. Only had 2 1/2 cups of bran buds instead of 3 but they still came out good. My mom and I REALLY like them. AND I got almost all of my water in today so far. Just another glass should put me at my minimum for the day. Finally I feel like I'm back on track with the water.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Our county humane society is having a Walk 4 the Animals to help raise money for the shelter. I've done it the past 2 years. It's great fun - it's downtown along the river and everyone brings their dogs. The walk is only 1.25 miles and everyone just strolls but it's still movement right?

Hope everyone had a great Friday! Congrats to losers, samers and gainers!

Poor Kirstie! The tabloids are going to slam her for sure! It was hard enough for me to admit I gained it all back, but to have it on the cover of the Enquirer????? She just seems like she'd be fun to hang out with. Plus she loves doggies!

Good for you going on that walk! Sounds like fun!

3 pounds

 

[Dizneydawn]

Too much snow still today...Total of 18+" so Spiral CT is postponed. I took out my stitches today and was so proud of myself. (Seriously a chicken) I ate well today - about 1100 calories so far. I am craving neo-politan right now. I just love looking at the color contrast but it will end up in my mouth and not just in my line of sight! Oh well...maybe just a little smidge...just a teaspoon! I was watching a morning TV show here and they were comparing all sorts of excersizes and what would cause you to lose weight the fastest...well guess what...According to medical experts...and we must listen to the experts...

An "afternoon encounter" ranks up there with shoveling! I think I will go find our shovel and break it! The snow will eventually melt right?!

I will read/write more to ya ya tomm!

[UtahMama]

That's amazing! I am sorry I didnt help at all!
Let's give us all a round of applause!

Dene, Lynda, and Grumpy all lost 3 or more!!!!!! Dene is again OUR BIGGEST LOSER!!!!!

 

[Wonders10]

I can't believe I forgot to mention this earlier. Last week I was at the dollar store and they had all of last years Easter Candy out for cheap. Well they had lime green Peeps! I wanted to buy tons and ship them off to all of you but that didn't really seem practical. I did think of all of you!

Ok, so its not so exciting but I am very easily amused.

Oh and last night I went to an earlier WW meeting and while I was waiting in line to get weighed the leader was talking to a member and she had lost 122 lbs! That's an average sized person! Just goes to show you that no matter how much or little you have to lose, it can be done!
