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

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, I hate to be a party pooper, but I have to post this because, based on personal experience, I think it might really help some people. Some folks on here have a cheat day. For you, that might just mean a day where you don't write down everything you eat, or you indulge in one treat that you don't normally have. However, if you have a cheat day like I have a cheat day, watch out! A couple of times I've had a cheat day, and then gone back and tried to figure out the damage done, and whoa! If I've gone to a buffet, or a dessert bar (or rarely, a real bar) I can eat more than double my alotted points in a day. That really has a detrimental effect on your weight. I used to have a quote from Andy Rooney written in my old food diary, "Ignorance of the facts doesn't change the facts." That means just because you don't write down eating a piece of cheesecake doesn't mean your body won't know that it's had an extra 900 calories. And see, I wrote those magic words in a "just keep slimmin'" Dory blue!

Not a party pooper at all! The first thing I think of if I don't get the results I want on Friday is, "What did I do on cheat day?" Let me explain my cheat day. I don't write things down. I have pretty much whatever I want, but I can't eat as much as I used to. So, if we have cinnamon rolls from the tube for breakfast, I only have 1 or 2. If we have donuts, 2 max. Then, we usually eat out, and I will have an entree I usually don't have. (Cheeseburger at Wendy's last Sunday) We seem to be doing pizza for dinner, but I don't eat as much as I used to. Two slices if they are normal slices - maybe 6 if they are the small square pieces. And yes, I have a dessert item of some kind. Also, sometimes we don't do lunch AND dinner, but something in between. These cheat days are usually quite comparable to each other though, so they shouldn't make a difference from one week to the next. HOWEVER...I asked DH what we had for dinner Sunday because I couldn't remember, and he said pizza. I remembered. I had 2 pieces...AND 3 pieces of cheesy bread! I forgot all about the cheesy bread! That might not have helped. DH doesn't seem to think it was 2 lbs worth, and I agree, but I am going to make some adjustments this week and see what happens. (Oh, I stay away from buffets too! )

We've lost a total of just over 40 pounds this week!!!!!!!!!

WooooooHooooty!!!!!!

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOTY!!!

HAPPY SATURDAY, PEEPS!
Just wanted to vent....The kids have been bugging me about whether or not we can go to WDW again this year. They all LOVE it! I told them to work on dad. We all want to go except him.

Well, I was in the bedroom last night but I heard him say loudly to DS...IF YOU ALL WANT TO GO TO DISNEY WORLD, I'LL GIVE YOU THE MONEY AND YOU CAN JUST GO!!! He just has no love for Disney.

He'd rather be out on the beach which is, frankly, no vacation for me. We usually rent a house and there's still cooking, cleaning, laundry, shopping, etc. to do on those kinds of vacations. I was hoping we could go the same week as we went last year and that 180 day window opens in a couple of weeks. I may need some pixie dust on this one.

What week is it that you might go? We arrive on Sept. 29th this year!

Get a new scale when you're out today, Lynda! I think there's something wrong with that one. Your little Jasper is a cutie and I love your sweet kitty. She's a beauty.

The scale is only a couple of months old, so maybe I'll switch out the battery if things don't look better soon. And thanks on the Jasper and Oliver comments. I love that you said "She is a beauty." because HE is the prissiest mamma's boy kitty ever!

Wanna hear something scary? I've actually been having cravings... for SALAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I salad! And I crave it often too!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Finally! 13 pages later I'm caught up. Insert your own talkative images. I'm over my limit.

So today is Day 7 on the South Beach Diet. The last two days have been really hard - I'd do anything for a starchy carb! And I nearly broke down yesterday. I'm sooo glad I didn't because....
you can put me down for 3.5 pounds lost this week!!!!!

AND, I'm right now wearing a pair of pants I haven't been able to fit into for 6 months! Okay, I'm totally motivated to stick it out for at least a few more days in Phase 1. I might not go the full week, only because I really need those carbs to work out and I'm very motivated to hit the TM. We'll see...

CONGRATS in advance to all the Losers and Stay-The-Samers this week! Everyone else - I'm here to tell ya' it CAN be done. Don't give up!

WOOOOO HOOOOOOOTY!!!

LOSS OF 2 LBS!!!I really didn't see this loss coming as I have not been very good about my exercise or the donut incident. It must have been all those angels you guys sent, they took away my worries and a couple of punds with them!! Yippeee!!!

SO I get to put on my pretty new ribbon, I can't beleive it and shed a tear of joy adn then said ...well I am sure you will put in tall back on by the time you leave for vacation....Where the heck did that come from??? I am positive it is just my fear of not succeeding and I am used to small achievemnts with my weight and then go and do some destructive eatting. WEll NOT THIS TIME MY PEEPS, I never had any peeps to combat my eatting with so take that negativitY!!

Congratulations on your new ribbon. It's very pretty.

OK UM, I am NOT highlighting this! Two reasons - 1) It doesn't affect your calculations, I don't think. And 2) I plan to weigh again when I get home, after drinking a LOT of water today. Here's why...

I GAINED 2 lbs! WHAT?!?!?!? I honestly do NOT know what I have done that would have caused this. I am soooooooo frustrated today. If I knew the cause and I could change it, I would not be upset, but I really don't know! I am hoping for a mishap in timing due to the jumbo pickle I ate yesterday and the sodium from it??? I have done my exercise bike for 30 minutes twice this week and my exercise ball for 30 minutes twice this week so far. I have stayed right around 1600 calories every day besides my cheat day and one day that was 1900, but since I weigh 230-something, that should not be an issue. And I don't believe my cheat day was any worse than any of the others. (I can't remember what we ate for dinner that day, so I will have to ask DH if he remembers tonight.) I was flabbergasted when I saw that number on the scale this morning! I was hoping to lose at least the .8 lb. I would have needed to get my 20-lb ribbon! Ugh! This is making me quite emotional, so sorry if I am rambling. I am trying to think about this logically and determine possible causes. I know that this is one week and next week may more than make up for it if it is just a fluke, but right now, in this moment, I feel frustrated and confused. I will work on this. I just want to see that number go down, and I want to know what I need to do to make that happen next week. OK, I guess I just needed to vent about that. I will keep plugging away and work even harder this coming week to see that loss next Friday. And I WILL be drinking a lot of water today and weighing again when I get home, and I will report what I see.

Don't give up! I'm sure you'll post a big number next week. BTW. Your an inspiration to all of us. I like how you post your daily intakes each night.

Is this it?????????

[/WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTY!

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOTY Dene!

Just checking in just wanted to let you know that I am going to be in patient at a hospital in my home town for at least a few days . My right kidney is infected very badly. The best chance is an in patient treatment with fluids and antibiotics. Please pray that this goes away. I'll have mamabearjo keep me up to date over the weekend on your successes.

Will be praying for you!

I've spent the last 24hrs praying to the porcelain gods. I feel soooo sick yet I managed to drag myself to a scale this morning, is that sad or what, considering it's downstairs in my laundry room.
Anyhoo, I finally drug , or is it dragged?, myself out of bed because I couldn't stand laying there anymore, but it's taken me over an hour to catch up on here. Hugs and prayers to those who need it, my brain isn't engaged enough to remember. I'm now going back to bed and try to eat some soup and keep it down. Oh, a;nd I really know I'm sick because I was so disapointed that I couldn't excercise today!

I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Told the kids this afternoon about the baby. I told Andrew, "Remember a couple of weeks ago when you were worried what Joshua was going to do when you and Katie were gone...well he is going to have a playmate." He replied, "Just shoot me now!" Not the replay I was looking for. Katie was excited and by the time we got back from Disney shopping Andrew was much better.

Side note--We think Joshua has pink eye--he aslo has a scratch on his eyelid and below his eye. Do not know if this made his eye look bad and goopy, or if he scratched it because it was bothering him. We are all washing hands and will see how he looks in morning. IF it still looks like this then I am taking him to dr. in the morning. We CANNOT GET PIMK EYE --We leave at 5 on Sunday morning.

It's good to hear that the kids are excited. You just never know how kids will react to the news of new sibling. Sorry to hear about Joshua. Hopefully, it's not pink eye. Have a great time on trip. Make sure to post all of your trip details as soon as you get back home.

We've lost a total of just over 40 pounds this week!!!!!!!!!

WooooooHooooty!!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS AND A BIG WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOTY to all of the losers this week.

 

[the Fidge]

OK jumping out on a limb today, I gave myself a day to think it out prior to this post. SO I would be certain of what I wanted to say so here goes....

Bee - I am delighted you are here, did I see any attack heck NO! What I have read in your statements is some heavy hearted things. I feel for you very much as being a Mom and wife has been your crown and you have delighted in. I have read that you are going to stay in the process and not fixated on the problem. Learning how to do things differently is tremendous and to be combatting eattting along side is HUGE!!!

I have shared some details of my life that may be hard to type but I pray are not hard to read. Minus my typos of course.

This support thread has helped me in my eatting area more than any diet I have ever done. What I use this for is to say what it is that trips my food switch on, such as controlling things. It is huge for me. My son holds my heart in his hands, it is his!! Yes I love my DH but I never knew love like the love I have for my son and you all know the word incredible doesn't cover a mothers abilty to love and to ache.

I have said on here something very hard I have had to hurdle and that was the many miscarriages, I talked about it here as it was a huge area that awoken this eatting thing like I never knew.

I have shared about falling from the roof and the injuries that I often wondered if I would recover from. I shared this becuase while I laid there as that was all I could do all I wanted to do WAS EAT!!! Being at the mercy of my family was hard, DH had to pick up alot of the workload and let me tell you I was not kind to him as I could and should have been. I was mad and frsutrated that things I always took for granted I could no longer do. That was 4 years ago and I can do so many things that DRs said I would never without spinal cord surgery. I would not have it done and was notifed I would have a 90% chance of spending my life in a wheelchair. LEts just guess how much I ate after that news.

I share things that are the things I had always ate over, frustration, fear, and a variety of character defects too many to name!!!


BTW I have attended OA and it did not work well for me. I was picking up new ways of being weirder about food than I already was ....it just did not work for me.

So if talking about what triggers my food problems is wrong well I love being WRONG!!! You know why, cause I got a ribbon that says it is working for me doing it this way!! I know that success is measured many ways to many people. I see the success of our totals weekly saying plenty. WE share the things that send us running to the kitchen and most times it is a huge relief to learn that someone else feels exactly as I do and I ususlaly get to just laugh at myself and with you guys! That means I am not alone and we can achieve what we are seeking together.

I can overcome things if I learn a different way to deal with them than by eatting it away. You all teach me how to do that. So that is why I am here to learn new ways of how to overcome siutations that send me searching out Green Goblins.

Thank you all for teaching me how to do things differently than I did before and that is my success. If I don't tell you what makes me want to eat or not get up and exercise well then I will not have accomplished anything.

The lovliest thing is that I see God in all of your words, you see I belive God puts people in my path to share with to learn from and to see his love in. I have found that in ALL of you!! You are my angels that join me in my journey to get healthy mind body and soul!!!

Thank you Peeps!!!

Thank you Peeps!!!

Thank you... I appreciate the kindness that has been shown to me and I also love the support. I am now only going to discuss positive things in my life.. at least for awhile. I am not sure what is going on in my life I can only try to stay positive. I am going to go to counseling so that I can not be such a public person. I dont mean that as a negative if anyone takes it that way it surely was not my intention.

Fidge, we are and will always be here for you.

Love, Bee

Wow, you guys have been really chatty today!!! I went shopping after work today. My physical therapist told me no heels. So I went and bought 4 new pair. Than I went and bought 9 new shirts. Cato is my new favorite store!!!

Alright going to catch up the 8 pages I have missed! Slow down for a minute.

Thanks Melinda for pointing out my faux paus! No, I did not buy 4 new pair of heels, just 4 new pairs of shoes!

 

[DisneyJo]

Bee and Fidge neither of you, or anyone else, have ever made me feel uncomfortable on this thread. You are both wonderful ladies and we all care for you greatly I love hearing about your life the good and the bad. This thread is not just a weight loss place, if it was it would be incredibly boring, it is a place to express your feelings about your life to share your highs and lows. As was said several weeks ago the great thing about the Peeps is that for every problem at least 1 peep will have experienced it and be full of advice, that's what we're here for : Even when I don't understand half of what you guys are talking about I still post here as you guys are so great.

Well enough of me rambling LY/MI

When Darkness falls is the name of the tooth fairy movie.
i went and saw the 300 on imax and it was awesome if you are into violence and half naked men (gerard Butler)the phantom of the opera. but i just wanted to say hi and good night got a very busy day tommorow .

I just read a review about this movie. They said gay men would love it. They said the plot was thin, but if you liked to see mostly nude guys fighting, then you would enjoy it. Did your DH like it?

Fidge - you are an inspiration to everyone and we love your sense of humor. And you had very few typos in that very long post!!

Alright - go to go finish cleaning. I need to get ready for our youth outing.

I love this place 'cuz it doesn't matter if I'm down, up, or just plain weird... I'm accepted. Last night DD19 was looking kind of odd as I was talking about clothes and exercising and etc. I asked her if she was tired of hearing about my weight and she said "yes". Okay, fine... I'll talk to my Peeps about it. THEY understand me... they know how hard it is so they know why I'm so excited.

Oder---I am sure that little boys do smell like wet dogs

Yes, It is PINK EYE!!!! The Dr. did the black light test and it showed no tears or scratches on the eye--so we are no treating PINK EYE!!! Part in porgress at my house as well. THe inlaws are here and will be here for the remainder of the day--or until I say LEAVE so I can PACK!!!

 

[dwheatl]

--here is my schedule today---soccer from 8:00 until 11:00, Andrew hair cut noon, Joshua Dr. whenever we can get in, family coming over for party (leaving the boys to finish cleaning house while at soccer) then I get to pack---I leave in less than 24 hours.

Whew for the schedule and wooo hoooty for the trip!

Good news Down 1 lb. I get my 5 lb. ribbon back. It was weird. I started at 154. Last week I was at 150. This morning, the first time I got on, it said 146. I knew that couldn't be right. Then it said 149. Then it said 150. I decided to go with the median weight.

I happen to thi nk you are skinny already since your starting weight is my GOAL weight

I am wicked worried about Buffets and din ing out because when we go to Disney next month we will not have a condo with a full kitchen just a hotel room fridge.We are making a grocery stop en route to resort to but fruit,healthy snacks,case of water and crystal lite to try to keep me on track. But I fully intend to eat a Mickey bar and possibly even a burger with fries. I am going to try to remain sensible even at all you can eat. My plan is make a salad, then cup soup, then a taste of entree and a taste of dessert and I made late breakfast ressies to have it as Brunch and just have a yougurt or a fruit for breakfast. I am still nervous though.

Thanks for the skinny comment. I am actually on what I hope is the last stage in a long weight-loss journey. I weighed 200 lbs. before I got pregnant with DS, who's 18 y.o., and I've bounced all over from 220-125. I'd like to weigh between 140 and 145, and just keep it there. No more

Not a party pooper at all! The first thing I think of if I don't get the results I want on Friday is, "What did I do on cheat day?" Let me explain my cheat day. I don't write things down. I have pretty much whatever I want, but I can't eat as much as I used to.

That sounds more like a salt/retaining water 2 lbs. than a real gain, doesn't it? I hope you didn't take my post as an accusation. I was really thinking about myself, and how some weeks I think, "Why the gain?" but then go back through the week and see what I've been ignoring. You are an inspiration, because you really keep your eating as an open book for the rest of us. Your posts remind me to eat nutritiously, not just low-calorie.

I just read a review about this movie. They said gay men would love it. They said the plot was thin, but if you liked to see mostly nude guys fighting, then you would enjoy it. Did your DH like it?

My laptop finally died...we'd been nursing it along for months. It was 4 years old so I got my $$$ worth out of it. I just got back from buying a new laptop. I got a smaller one because my lap is a little bit smaller than it was 4 years ago Actually I just want to buy one of those cute stylish woman's laptop bags! My old laptop was too big to fit in them!
