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

[dance2874]

SO, I missed weigh in last week and sort of saved it up to add ot today, so my 2 week total is:
4.2 pounds gone forever!! WHOOHOOTY! I was hoping easter didnt sabatoge my loss I started on last week. I am so happy, I get to go get my new bling today!


HAPPY WEDDING DAY TARA!!! I cant wait to hear all about it and see some pictures!

Here are pictures of the cookies I made for Easter goodie bags. The round flower cookie (not the tulip) is one of the designs I'm doing for the party.

OMG, now I want cookies! I love deorating them and of course eating them, but I hate trying to find a place to let them all dry like that when I make them!

Listen UP!

I had an epiphany, again!!!!


OK, What if when we take one of the Peep meet pictures, we ALL wear our "Before" pants/jeans and like hold them out to show how much we've lost???

BRILLIANT!

We can get some poor-shmuck husband to take all the pictures....There ya go!


The only thing is, MY before jeans are still ON my fat carcass, so I HAVE to be diligent and have at least a few inches to spare!

Maybe I'll get my original size 30 jeans???? Maybe have to wear leggin's underneath for modesty sake!

WELL??????

Input???

Oh, weigh purdy!~

Weigh Bold!

Weigh early if possible! The earlier, the skinnier!!!

I love it! Actually we should all wear something under our before pants, and take one with them falling down around our ankles

I am down today. I will be okay. I have a headace and I cried myself to sleep last night. But, the good news is ... Its Friday!!

How many tears can a person cry? Just wondering.

Anyway..

Happy Wedding Day!!!! Eventer!!

Thanks for the mention- mama.

Hello everyone!

Hi Pixie!!

Hi. Just thought I'd check in.

I've spent the entire Easter break taking care of my three sick kids. It's been a nightmare around here with them and Dr's apt. and prescriptions and CO-PAYS!

They all got strep. Zachary started it Last week Thursday. Then Mal was miserable Friday night. Took both of them to the Dr Saturday Morning. Did the strep cultures. Negative. Let them both suffer until Monday Morning when the office reopened. Yes. They have it! The culture turned positive over sunday. Saturday night Tim and I got no sleep. Three kids constantly waking up for medicine due to hight fevers. This is one nasty infection.

Sunday Matt wakes up like a train wreck. He has no voice, no energy. Won't eat, barely will drink. Throat is killing him. He's 10 and is falling asleep left and right. Mal just spent the last 2 days sleeping in our laps. His breathing sounds like he is under a constant Asthma attack and he doesn't have it. He's barking like a seal.

Monday, Tuesday, he goes to the Dr. They take a few rounds of chest x-rays and say he has croup. That is rare for a kid his age they say. My kids get it once a year since they were babies.

He sends Matt home after two steroid shots in the behind. I call the dr back Thursday. No improvement and I can't get his 104 fever down. That was the average temperature in our house this week.

Dr. finally gives me a script to treat him for strep. Later in the day you started to see an improvement.

Besides all that. I went for the follow up ultrasound and they told me the baby looks good. Gave me a ton of pictures and two were very real like. I think she'll look like her brother Zachary. Who is the spitting image of his father. Maybe I'll get my blonde daughter.

Take care everyone! Hope you all have a great weigh in! I have to try to catch up here somehow.

Again, is there a cliff's notes for these thread?

WOW! I hope everyone is feeling much better these days! What a mess. Gald baby is ok too!

HAPPY 5-YEAR ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND MY RAY-RAY!!!! yeah, i know that sounds bad telling myself happy anniversary, but i knew you guys wouldn't mind.

have a good friday. i'll come play catchup later!

WHOOHOOTY! Happy Anniversary to you!

Hi all! I posted on this thread way back when Utah started it, but I wasn't motivated then, so I didn't keep up.

But on 2/12/07, my dream came true and I got gastric bypass.
So now I HAVE to eat right or get sick. It's the only way it would work for me.

Utah said it was weigh in day, so I should post. The only problem is, I don't have scales. Maybe I'll buy some today.

I'm scanning a little to get to know you all and just wanted to say this:

Dance -

This paragraph right here proves that the nanny thing was not your fault:


The wife is obviously psycho! Do not feel bad for this! You were loyal and did what you could for the family. You will find another position and hopefully it will be for a "normal" family and not a psycho one.

Welcome back! Thanks for the kinds words too, everyone actually- I know I am better off if she was that crazy. I just hate the way they did it. No notice is just so disrespectful.

BUT we are going to Cedar Point end of May - of course it helps my sister works there and the tickets are free!!

We are plannning to go at the end of June when we go back for my sisters wedding! Wanna hook a peep up with some tickets? Serously though, I love that place and every time we go to Ohio for a visit we say we are going to go...this year we ARE going if it kills me.

 

[mlill]

I grew up in NW Indiana, and am an alum of BALL STATE!! Right now I live near Great America in IL (anyone want to come??!)

Wow! A lot of us live pretty close together! We should do a Chicago Peep Meet sometime this summer! Where in NW Indiana did you grow up? I grew up in Merrillville and now we're in Valparaiso. It's a small world after all!

Lynda! Yes, our trips will overlap by a day! We're going to the Oct. 5th MNSSHP and meeting up with Fairy Tale Bride's DISmeet...

MNSSHP DISmeet Oct. 5th

I think we are going to Kona for breakfast the next morning. What time do you guys leave on the 6th?

-Michelle

 

[lexmelinda]

Lynda I'm all packed - I grabbed the bag I keep my scrapbook stuff, its the Girl Scout in me... BE PREPARED!

TAKE A PICTURE OF THE TWO OF YOU! Surely Lynda will have a camera?!?

AND MISS LYNDA!!! My first thought was that there must be a bloody, hacked off limb somewhere in your house! 12 POUNDS!!!!! Holy cannoli!!! You rock! I told you this week would be your week!

 

[nsalz]

Morning peeps! Happy Wedding Day Eventer!

Ok everyone may we have a group or maybe a group would be better. I obviously did not do my vacation/Easter well! I am up 5lbs over the last 2 weeks! Luckily I am did not gain enough to go up to my old size, but man I'm bummin'!

After weigh in, I bagged up all my size 22 to give to a local thrift shop. I figure if their not around I won't grow into them! I think I'll take out one pair of jeans to help me remember how far I've come and how far I can go!

I have to go reduce my bling!

Hi PD......did you have fun at the World? Don't worry about the five pounds...I gained five also at the world...even with all that walking! We will start over this week!

My last post I forgot these ...there just like you need.

 

[DisneyJo]

Well as I thought thanks to my Mum's cooking I'm up 2lb And there's still quite a lot of choccie left, why do I prefer chocolate to fruit Got to do better this week, at least the DD's go back to school so I can up the walking again. Jess is off for a weeks school trip on monday and she's already packed! Funny thing is she's going on holiday to the county I come from, how weird is that!

Disney Jo where are you????

Hi Bee I've been at my Mum's for a few days, thanks for thinking of me

The party is the 29th, but please send some baking business pixie dust that I get the cookies done well and on time and that she does not give me any hassles.

ixiedust: Shannon your cookies look delicious, sent you some pixie dust but I'm sure you won't need it!

"If life hands you lemons, make lemonade" signs. Well, one of them read it wrong and it was their little joke for YEARS... They made totes with it on there and everything. It was "if life is hard, your a lemon".

I've spent the entire Easter break taking care of my three sick kids. It's been a nightmare around here with them and Dr's apt. and prescriptions and CO-PAYS!

Hope they all get better soon

I DID work my butt off (apparently literally - has anyone seen my butt?)

Way to go on the huge weight loss, well done!

A limerick for Utahmama, Peep of the Week:
There's a woman whose name starts with U,
Who makes muffins that cause you to
Her humor is great,
She helps us lose weight,
So, Uma, my hat's off to you!

Love the limerick

Punkin happy Anniversary

Whoever was asking about Meet the Robinsons, do you know what you wanted to know yet? As I could PM you!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Lynda: It is funny to see you write about Cedar Point. I live in Indiana and so many people around here go every year. I have only been there once. How close do you live to the Indiana border?

Ha! Funny you should ask how far I am from the border! Oh, about 45 minutes, I'd say. I grew up near Danville, which is about 5 minutes from the IN border! Went to church camp in IN and had my senior pictures taken in IN! My BF lived in Indy and works at the Indianapolis Zoo.

Wow! A lot of us live pretty close together! We should do a Chicago Peep Meet sometime this summer! Where in NW Indiana did you grow up? I grew up in Merrillville and now we're in Valparaiso. It's a small world after all!

-Michelle

That would be fun! And you know they are opening an AKL Villa model at Woodfield Mall this summer!

I think we are doing MNSSHP on the 4th. On the 6th, we are doing the 'Ohana breakfast! We leave around noon-ish - give or take.

TAKE A PICTURE OF THE TWO OF YOU! Surely Lynda will have a camera?!?

AND MISS LYNDA!!! My first thought was that there must be a bloody, hacked off limb somewhere in your house! 12 POUNDS!!!!! Holy cannoli!!! You rock! I told you this week would be your week!

First of all, I definitely want to get a picture of the two of us. I will see what I can do.

Second of all, I am trying not to laugh out loud here at work! That is hilarious! I can just see me getting desperate and hacking off my arm and then getting on the scale all triumphant when it showed me small numbers! I really think it must somehow be cumulative over the past few weeks. I don't know how, but whatever. I'll take it! I just have to work hard to make sure it doesn't return! Thank you! You DID say it would be my week!

Just a quickie I've just hit 2000

"Which waterpark? I think it would be fun to make all our summer plans around Travel Channels Top 10 Waterparks. Then another summer we could do the Top 10 Roller Coasters. That is the kind of vacation I can talk my DH into."
Since I dont know how to cut and paste the right way here yet, this is the best I can do.

IS it warm enough for a waterpark this time of year? Just wondering since many of us seem to be dealing with snow and way cold temps

 

[mlill]

I know! - the Woodfield Mall is on our TO DO list once the DVC center is open!

I think we are doing MNSSHP on the 4th. On the 6th, we are doing the 'Ohana breakfast! We leave around noon-ish - give or take.

Well, we could have a mini-meet before our breakfasts at the Poly! I think I made our ADR's for 10am, so we could meet you guys in the lobby before then. PM me if you want to set something up.


WOOOOHOOOTY Jo! Happy 2000!

-Michelle

I don't want to speak out of turn here, but The Wilderness is an indoor water park. So weather has no bearing on her plans! (Which is good, because it is currently low-40's here in Wisconsin.)

Cool! Sounds like the perfect excuse for a meet to me!

And I sent ya a PM.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Happy Wedding Day Eventer!!!

Happy Anniversary Punkin & Mr Punkin!!!

I am to say that the Easter Candy has taken it's toll on me and I have gained 3lbs! I am seriously thinking I need a mental change in order to lose this weight. I have to figure out what is holding me back. Now to do some soul searching.....

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I don't think I said this yet, but

WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTY Wendy! Peep of the week!

Why Wendy rocks?

She rights the best trip reports that make ya snort your beverage all over your computer!

She is B-E-A-Utiful! Just look at that hair!

She always provides just the right mix of wit, humor, and heart to encourage her fellow Peeps!

She sounds SO LOVERLY over the phone!

She's a wonderful friend!

She started this thread, and if she hadn't, I would very likely have given up by now on losing this weight out of frustration. THANKS WENDY! You SO deserve it!!!

 

[nsalz]

Congrats.

Does anyone have any lowfat recipes for dips? I have veggies today with me, but can't stand the lowfat dip I brought with me to work.

 

[aldisneygrl]

First things first! Uh, I lost this week, I guess. Why do I say it like that you might be asking. Well, last week, I stayed the same. The 2 weeks before that, I lost 1 lb each week. This week the scale says I lost 12.6 lbs! Not that that's a bad thing! Just...how is this possible?!? The scale is new-ish. (I bought it in January.) And the battery is new. (I put it in 2 weeks ago.) I DID work my butt off (apparently literally - has anyone seen my butt?) this week on the bike and the exercise ball, but I didn't think it was possible to lose this much that quickly. Maybe I needed to do a big potty last week when I weighed? Dunno! But if this is accurate, I started at 250, am now at 214.6, and that makes a total loss so far of 35.4 lbs! So, I'm addin' my new bling, and I'm hopin' it doesn't go away next week!

Can I borrow your scale?

Congrats on the weight loss! (<- you must have been doing a lot of these)

 

[Sparkie]

Down 0.8

Not as good as I wanted but its in the loss category. I tried WW core plan- but I ate all 35 of my points and I cheated a little too So any loss is a good loss.

I think I have a strategy for my on the go, fast food problem. A girl I work with told me about Flat Out wraps at Walmart. They have 9 grams of fiber. Fill you up and clean you out So I'm going to try fixing a "lunch" with a wrap when I take my girls to dance class so I dont have to suffer and then cave to the drive thru temptations.

wonders your cookies look fabulous! We have a place around here- I dont know- it may be a national chain - but its called Cookies by Design(you may can check the web) but their cookies are similar to yours and they get $100 for a cookie basket. HMMM! Maybe you should too.

Happy Wedding Day Eventer! Happy Anniversary to the Punkins

Everybody cross your fingers.

My oldest daughter is going to audition for a dance company. Its local. It will be our first audition ever. She is a great tap and jazz dancer. We have only done one year of ballet- went straight to pointe. I just got that mama nervousness. We know that she will be auditioning with dancers with much more experience than she has- she is only 15 (16 this summer) So we are telling ourselves that this audition is for the experience of auditioning only- but mama would fall out if she made company! Prepping her for her Disney auditions- Oh, Yeah!

My foot is still doing good. Worked last night and no pain Its still sore but for the first time in months I was walking without a limp.

School Bus time

 

[Wonders10]

belleWOOHOOTY on your weight loss - I grew up in NW Indiana, and am an alum of BALL STATE!! Right now I live near Great America in IL (anyone want to come??!)

I think we went through this before, but I went to college in South Bend/Notre Dame...I'm a little rusty my Indiana geography but I do know that I was in NW Indiana.

ixiedust: Shannon your cookies look delicious, sent you some pixie dust but I'm sure you won't need it!

Whoever was asking about Meet the Robinsons, do you know what you wanted to know yet? As I could PM you!

That was me! Thanks for remembering. But yes I got a few PMs from my Peeps so I'm no longer in the dark. Thanks for the pixie dust too.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Hi I'm Shannon and I'm a lazy bones.

I went to bed last night at 2 after rewarding myself with a movie for finishing up my client paperwork yesterday. I had nowhere to go today so I slept til 9:30. Woke up, watched a little TV, played with Phoebe, DIS-ed, emailed, then laid down in my bed to make a to do list for this weekend and I fell asleep for 3 hours!

Also, could someone post an updated tally on whose going to the September Peep Meet. Just trying to see when everyone is checking in / out. Thanks!

Oh and I am boycotting weigh day as I did not go to WW last night for my weigh in. The Easter candy held me hostage this week and I just needed a little break.
