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

[denecarter]

Dene???? WOW!!!!! Do you have a tape worm?

I cant BELIEVE how successful you are! Are you a dude? Did you have surgery? You ARE a rock star!!!!!!!! Whatever you're doing, it's working!

No tapeworm (that I know of ), I don't have the right "parts" to be a dude (good thing, 'cuz hunky trainer dude doesn't swing that way ), and I'm too chicken for surgery (but I AM willing to force myself to get a tummy tuck and a "lift and refill" up top when the time comes ). I seem to go every other week... though I haven't had a week this good in quite a while. I don't advocate the beer and cigarette diet, but I think that did have an effect... I've been told to "shock" my body... I think that did! This coming week won't be great (every other week bites + AF + no more cigs!)

I"M TIRED OF ME!!

This is going to sound funny, but that might actually be a good thing... that is the point I had to get to before I finally got motivated to DO something. I've been the same weight for 18-20 years... why didn't I do something about it before? I "kind of" tried, but I didn't reach the tipping point until this past winter. I am SOOOO glad I reached that point!!!!!!!!

I need to find a way to shake that doubting voice in my head!

Don't listen to voices in your head... listen to your Peeps!

AF stole my pound.

I peeked at my weight on Wed. and was down 1 and low and behold this am AF stole my pound. So I am a samer this week. I have had a cold for the past few days- not much on the food intake- well, not as much as usual, but I have been drinking alot- could just be water retention I guess.

Hoping for a better week next time with my new friend Hoodia at my side.

Happy B'day Fran

Congratulations to all those who lost this week! You ROCK! . I have scale envy- or maybe I just need a hunky trainer dude to get me motivated

I posted this on the other thread, but I know some people are not checking there or are missing the dates we are going to be there by a week or so.

I was just able to change to Pop. They had standard or preferred. Go here:

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wd...reeDineNavPage&CMP=ILC-DOLtoWDWQ4FY07FreeDine

to check your dates.

Also, the lady at the grand gatherings number said check-ins for the 21st and 22nd are pretty much obsolete at this point for any resort. Even if you are planning to check in on one of those days, book it for longer and call back to change it later. But the reservations people are not allowed to tell us that, I asked and she volunteered it She said they are giving more resort choices to those willing to book longer stays. We booked 20-27th and we will call back to shorten the stay on at least one of the rooms. She told me there was no penalty or chance we would lose the room as long as we called before 45 days.

Just wanted to pass this along. I know there were some others who wanted pop and didnt get it.

That's the single best piece of advice I can think of...

Checking in quickly from work to report that I lost 4 pounds!! I am so close to my 10 pound bling!! I am really going to kick in the exercise this week. That is my goal! I can't post to much but I will be back later.

Hello! I finally am done with my Disneyland Trip Report! YAY!

I'm having a hard time NOT thinking today is a free day! So far so good!!! That stupid Easter Chocolate is calling me though. DONT worry! I wont touch it!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Well, I mentioned it in teeny font last night. What if we did a 20 pound challenge for September?? Starting TODAY ((those of you that think friday after weigh in is "free"!!! )). Any ideas for a prize??? Any thoughts or suggestions?

Count me in for a September Challenge!!! However, I would like to have the 20lbs off by Aug 18th, which is DD's wedding! I want to be the "sexy" Mother of the Bride! How much do you think I can feesibly lose by June 16th, my niece's wedding? I'm thinking 10lbs, since it is 8 weeks away.

As for a prize,how about anyone interested puts in $5 and someone collects it and buys Disney Dollars with it??? Whoever wins the challenge, wins the Disney Dollars!! What do you think???

OK wendy, you are in my head!! I dont know what you sound like, but I keep hearing your voice - it started with the sit up challenge... and the water challenge... and now this!!

Can I do it? Will I do it???

Dene, Lynda, Wendy - y'all have such wonderful spirits, and determinations - you post, slowly and surely you do it... and stick with it...

Wendy - you have the btdt - and I can do it again, watch me attitude...

I on the other hand fight my self doubt, negative head talk... and up and down... and whine, whine whine.. excuse, excuse excuse...

I"M TIRED OF ME!!

so I thank all of you peeps for putting up with me.

DITTO!!!

I hear ya! I am the same way. Each week I have been doing fairly well. This week, nothing, no gain no loss...so truthfully I should be happy enough that I didnt gain and make smart choices this week. But instead I am beating myself up over no loss, excuses...blah, blah, blah. I need to find a way to shake that doubting voice in my head!

DITTO here too! No more listening to the "negative voice in our head"! Nothing but positive from now on!!!

OK...Thanks to you all for the prayers and pixie dust. I apprecate it and am making a turn around on this weight thing. I know I can lose the weight, I've done it before. Just because I'm older doesn't mean I should let the slowness of losing get to me. This has become a total mental thing and I am letting outside stress and others make me give up...NO MORE!!!

As of today I am back on track and will keep track of every morsal that goes in my mouth!
I will do some form of exercise everyday.
I will drink at least 64 oz of water a day.

Thank-You to all you Peeps for the encouragement, love and pixie dust you continually send. Your the Greatest!!!

 

[eeyore45]

Funny you should mention the $5 I was thinking that very same thing!! and I was thinking about putting up a Minnie Mouse? Remember our mascot? SKinny Minnie?

I wonder if maybe we should do something with the Minnie's???

Dene thanks for the kind words!

UMA and another trip in 17 days? YOU are WOMAN!!! rrrroar!

Belle gonna give you a wooHOOTY!!

Lots of great support and ideas!!

No way am I giving up!!

Of course you should share!! We all need a good laugh-it burns calories

Belated weight loss post: -1.5 pounds

 

[belle8306]

i know....it's kinda snuck up on me! this saturday will be two weeks and we leave! no, i'm not packing yet, but i have started a "disney bag" where i'm keeping anything i plan on wearing (as to not dirty it right before our trip), ponchos, coffee cups with lids (i'm on a coffee maker swap), coffee filter singles, a new pack of hair bands, stuff like that. i just want to keep it all in one place! it's in the closet in my office where DH won't see it and think i'm a freak.....although he already knows that......don't know why i'm tryin to hide it!

I have been trying to get things for our trip little by little so I won't have to buy it all at once. I have a few shirts and some travel sized things. Yesterday, at Target my husband knew when he couldn't find me to come to the travel size stuff aisle.

I'm very sorry to hear about your bunny....mine were my favorite pets growing up. This is a sad week on here for pets.

So I lost 1 pd. this week..well actually 2 weeks since I didn't weigh in last Friday. I was hoping for 2 or 3 but I'll take it...esp. since I didn't eat very well in the days leading up to and after the wedding. Plus, I haven't been walking. I'm hoping to start this weekend since it will be close to 70 degrees Sunday!!!! Have a grat Friday everyone!!

You got married and you still lost!! That is awesome!

OK...I need to get ready for work. Lots going on here and I am feeling like I am drowning, so I am NOT weighing in today. I don't think my mental state could handle it. I am trying to pull myself up and get out of this funk. Pixie dust & prayers would be appreciated. Thanks! :

and prayers are headed your way!

BIG NEWS... I am down -1 pound ..bringing me to my goal of 14 pounds : WHOOHOOTY ! I have been wanted to lose this weight for 5 years and I KNOW that I was successful because of all you wonderful peeps ! THANK YOU !!!!
:

Congratulations on making your goal!

It was a tip from another weight loss program - they suggest an 6-8oz coffee mug - very warm water - and 1/2 lemon - real lemon works better than concentrate - but I use concentrate from time to time!

I need a swift kick in the rear. or my head... its my mind that is slowing me down... bad problems in real life, sorrow for Virg Tech and I'm starving.

Part of me feels desperate - part of me feels like "what's the point, I'm always going to be this fat girl - so learn to love her" and I do love me... mostly...

[.

You are a strong person! You can do this! Do it one meal at a time if you have to! Your peeps believe in you!!

I have a LOT of catching up to do today!!! I'm not sure how well I'll do though. It could be a busy day. And when I get home, DH and I are moving the new king mattress into our bedroom, as well as moving our bed into the guest room and moving the twin trundle bed that's in there now out to the garage. So, that will be my work out tonight, I think! I will try to get caught up though. In the meantime, to anyone in need, or to everyone for that matter, and to any newbies!

Great loss! You are awesome! I would say that moving furniture is definately a work out!!

I had the funniest thing happen yesterday, but I'm not sure if I should share, it's rather personal, but it had dh & I laughing till we cried!

Please share!




Happy Birthday Fran!!

Hi peeps! I hope everyone is having a great day! Tonight I am going to see Meet the Robinson's at the drive-in. I am really looking forward to it. Today was a beautiful day! My goals for this weekend are:

1.Stay within my points.

2.Exercise (walking or the balance ball)

3. Water! Water! Water!

What are everyone else's goals for this weekend?

 

[HockeyKat]

I fit in a half hour walk-vent w/ 2 coworkers... the only really "private" place around here is outside. But, counts as exercise!!

My goal for the weekend is to keep to my calorie limit. I already had my cheat day this week and it is super-hard for me to stay away from beer on weekends.

I wanna go home. It is almost 6PM and gorgeous outside. Working is for chumps.

 

[eeyore45]

TWO DAYS IN A ROW!!

and I dont think I'm going to make it

My shins hurt, my left thigh... dH says its about 1 1/4 mile I've been traveling, today was tough... WWPD?? I put on my workout clothes and decided I wasnt taking them off till I got out there! No excuse. I made it! DH says the first 2 weeks are the hardest... omg, its going to get worse?

On my Ipod I start with Aretha and RESPECT... in the middle is carpenters, I need to switch that out - through some Judds in there.. right at the last quarter mile... Clay Ailen comes on Measure a Man - what an inspirational song - It makes me think of Jesus - and I raise my hands and get through that last 1/4...

so, I made it.

I drank my water, and am having more.
Tuna for lunch
all bran for snack
vitamins and v8 juice
Popcorn for snack
salad and chicken for dinner...

 

[eeyore45]

Kat did the vent make you walk harder and faster??

winkers give it up!!

belle good goals... I'm not sure about me and Saturday! I hope I can dance tho...

WOW Look at how skinny everyone looks today!!

Congrats everyone..

dont forget to suck it in right now - that's it, hold it in... hold it....deep breath... sit up straighter...

go get more water!!
