DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN! Part 4

[HockeyKat]

I am a SAMER. Boo. First time in quite a while. AF is visiting this week though, so hopefully that is why... and I saw a loss on Tues AM so maybe it will come back. I am 2 lbs away from the next bling!

Great job on all the losers!

 

[UtahMama]

ONE pound. One hard earned pound. One, but should have been like 5.

Sorry to be MIA. I have been sewing!!!!

Yes, ME!

There's this SUPER cool thread over on the family boards called Kids Disney Boutiqe/Custom Clothes and I am sooooo addicted. Just go to the first page and hit the photo bucket link to ALL the completed projects!!! In the last 3 days, I've sewed 3 outfits for Norah. AND they're kinda cute! My boys are too cool for homespun fashion so I'll make them sleep pants. Sheeeesh!

No I need to catch up with YOUS!!!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

I LOST 2 POUNDS!!!​

South Beach has really been working for me, even though I haven't been terrific this week. The snacks at VBS have been too tempting, especially when I haven't eaten dinner! But, I still lost!

I need to catch up, so I'm gonna go do that!

 

[UtahMama]

if you have a hotmail account, be careful!!!!! my friend anna called us because she got a virus alert when checking her hotmail account and since ray's a computer nerd he always knows how to "fix" stuff like that. well, he worked on it for like an hour and couldn't figure out where the virus was. he told her he'd look at it again tomorrow. so then i go check my hotmail account just now and the same thing happens......HUGE VIRUS WARNING. and we don't have any of the same e-mails in our inboxes or folders. so it's something with hotmail. ray checked his account and the same thing happened. so if you don't have decent virus protection on your computer and you have a hotmail account, BE VERY CAREFUL!!!!!! or don't check it at all for awhile!

Crap we just went through this! Had to get a new hard drive and everything.
Hopefully the security will do it's job! Be careful peeps!!!!

Good morning Peeps!

My mom just called about her Dr. appt this morning. They took tons of "x-rays". It showed calcium deposits which they say is nothing at all. But then they showed some other specs...which may or may not be something. The nurse or whoever did it said they were floating which is good. But the doc will let her know if they want to biopsy it or just wait 6 months and do another set of tests. She said the nurse wasn't that concerned over it but they can't really say anything either.

So please continue sending prayers and pixie dust for her! Thanks Peeps!

Oh...down 0.8 lbs. I haven't seen that number on the scale in months!

 

[majicintheair]

hello all! I have been a lurker for long enough, (at least 100 pages recently and skimming over the past months) I think I am really ready to do this thing now. I'm tired of reading all of the weight losses and feeling left out and jealous! Just a little background on my dieting history, about 2 years ago I lost 40 pounds on the Atkins diet , with alot of exercise. I would diet like crazy all week, and cheat on weekends. The weight came off, and then I got lazy. Halloween, a couple of birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a teenage daughter starting high school, all of these things provided great excuses for eating! Oh yeah, halloween candy! birthday cake! school parties for my first grader! (You know, I was the mom bringing in the vegatable tray, which by the way, the kids loved, but I could not resist the other moms cupcakes!!!) and of course, lovely batches of delicious Christmas cookies. It's hard being a good cook sometimes. And yes, I meant that 2 ways, I am only a good cook sometimes. But, to get to the point, the scale that I had been avoiding all winter (sometimes with a good little kick to get it out of my way) finally jumped in my way and revealed to me that I had put on 25 of those hard lost pounds!!!! How did I not know this you ask? Well, maybe you ask, maybe your just sitting there shaking your head thinking, It was the food you Idiot! or maybe your not even reading this ridiculously long post and and have totally bypassed it! But I kind of hid it from myself because it was winter (umm..in Florida) (umm... for AT LEAST 2 weeks!) and I was hiding behind my jackets and jeans. Well, I was trying to hide my behind but it just kept getting BIGGER!!! But when I went to pull out my summer clothes (shorts) they did not fit!!! Well, they kind of fit, if you don't count the zipper being stuck in the down position... not a pretty sight. Trust me. I spent all of May and June on the south beach diet.... with NO CHEATING! and lost 14 pounds. But we had to cancel our WDW trip at the beginning of July (due to moving timeframe conflicts,) so I gave myself the week off of dieting. (not like I would have been dieting that week anyway, in WDW, right?) Well, me and my big mouth ate 10POUNDS back on that week!!! and more But now, I am ready. (again) Yall have inspired me. I actually did 100 situps yesterday after reading about 100 pages of motivational posts. I admit, not having done situps in a looong time it was hard! But I thank you for the shove. I feel like I know yall, (not in a weird stalker way either) and I look forward to this challenge. Well a little bit. With cheat days. But you know what I mean! That's what is great about this forum, I actually feel like you all DO understand.

Welcome! Yup! We hear ya! We're going to love having you in our group. You're post is hysterical! Shouldn't you count kicking the scale out of the way as exercise?

 

[mousehouselover]

I know it's been about 2 mos since I've posted. I've done a bit of lurking and have sort of kept up with things. I hit a really bad spot and needed to get myself back together. I've been feeling better and decided I've put off rejoining life long enough.

I am job hunting and have finished half of my course work to become a pharmacy tech. I haven't worked for the vet in 6 weeks and yesterday we were unable to come to an agreement over a schedule for me to return to work. I'm upset and bummed but they really didn't want me back. (They posted a job listing in the paper on Wed, knowing that I was planning on returning to work next week......... seems a bit odd if you ask me.)

On the weight front I have lost 5 lbs in the last 6 weeks. It's been slow going and visiting me family set me back a few pounds but I'm moving forward and seeing numbers that I haven't seen in years!

Welcome to all the new PEEPS, Happy birthday and annivesary to those who I missed and congrats to Jen and Tara!!!

I've got to run...........

 

[dance2874]

Happy weigh in day Peeps! Seems like we have had some good losses today, hard earned ones!

I have "training" August 7-9 and then I start back to school August 20th. Wednesdays and Fridays are best for me before then, but I can do any day if those are bad for you. How about August 1st or 15th?

I can do the 1st (unless crarmy will have time to meet up on her visit on the way through town on that Friday? I am pretty flexible until school starts)

My in-laws live in the FW area, we come up there two or three times a year!! We will be up there in a week from today on our way to NM.
We live in The Woodlands area. North of Houston. You are in the DFW area?? Where abouts??

I am in McKinney/Frisco area. About 40 minutes north of Dallas.

WELCOME!!! You will love it here and be losing with everyone in no time!


OK, so I was supposed to babysit at 9:15 and I rush home from dropping Amanda at VBS to wait on the kids. Well, here I sit at 10:15, still no kids I could have easily used this past hour to do something fun by myself while I was kid-less! GRRR......They did call me, 5 min ago to say they were on their way, an hour late, but on their way. So rude.

[PilotWife]

Well, I piled the kids in the car early this morning - because I wanted some coffee this morning and DH is the coffee maker of the house and will not be home for 2 more weeks. Anywho, what is on the sidewalk? Well, it is a very TINY baby bird, eyes not open, really hurt BUT still alive. Sooo, I tell the kids (ages 2-7) just dont touch it and maybe momma will come get it. Well, they looked out the window at this bird for 2 hours, worried, due to mom not coming and the neighbors cats outside. They decided it needed to go to the animal Dr, just like Rizzo (our ****zu puppy). So, I padded a shoe box and luckily the neighbor was outside to help me get this bird into the shoe box, and off we went to the vet. They were very nice, and explained that in TN vets are not allowed to "treat" wildlife....I then said, so my children could not hear....That I did not expect them to "treat" this bird that was almost dead....Please just kindly "dispose" of it. So, they finally understood what I was trying to imply, and told the children, that they would take care of the the baby bird.

What a morning...Then it was time to weigh in... 2lbs lost.

Have a great weekend.

Jennifer

 

[MA pigletfan]

side note: So you think you can dance results last night..i was totally fine with them

[S.Poppins]

Gained 1 pound at camp We worked really hard, but ate pretty good too. I am now ready to get back on track for real. I am working out my plan right now. Thinking of joining WW online, has anyone else done this?

If you have a moment and are good at "buzz words" I'm trying to fill out an application - essay question...
Describe skills necessary to be an outstanding teacher... (quality, each child can succeed, passion for education and students.... Learning for all teach work collaboratively... implement power standards, with excitement, and a variety of techniques,raises level of achievement thru the use of a variety of techniques, to help students become LifeLong learners... effective teacher is always learning...

I have to brainstorm and I have no one to talk to - I always get great help from other teachers to bounce off ideas until I come up with a comprehensive spiel!!

the other one I cant even begin is How would you address a wide range of skills and abilities in your classroom - and I would use Glasser Method of Choice Theory, and differentiate wow this one is easier,

brb with my notes are shaping up on #2

As an assistant principal (yep, that is one of my new job titles), answers I would look for: Qualities of a teacher: Energetic, not afraid of change and to try new things, consistent, dependable, believes in success of all children. (Go to NEA website for additional help - good stuff under "no child left behind.")
Addressing a wide range of abilities: Learning styles, Theory of Multiple Intelligences, cooperative learning, regular evaluations to determine comprehension.

ATTENTION DOG LOVERS!

I just got this link on email. So cute!

TYPE IN a command and see what happens... sit, roll over, down, stand, sing, dance, shake, fetch, play dead etc. and...it's also very cute if you type in a command that's not recognized.. .!!

Make sure you type in "Kiss" too, but do it last.

This was very cute, my kids will like it.

Noni, I have been worried about you! How is your DH? I will be praying that you find a job that is right for you.

Shannon, glad to hear your mom's appt. went well. I will continue to pray for positive results.

Felt good to sleep in this morning.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I still need to go back and catch up on the last few pages. I started a post with quotes yesterday, but I had to stop and save it. I'll have to finish it later.

For now I wanted to first ask for Peep prayers for my friend, the one that's supposed to be getting married tomorrow! Her fiance was in a wreck the other night and is in the hospital! He is OK. Apparently, he has a small fracture of a cervical vertebrae, but he's OK. However, they waited all day yesterday for results/information, and heard NOTHING from the doctor! They do not know at this point if he will be discharged in time for the wedding to still take place tomorrow. They still have to pay for everything of course. But we don't know yet if the wedding is actually happening tomorrow or not. I am praying, and I know the power of Peep prayers, so I thought I'd put out a request. Thanks so much!

As for my weigh in info, I am down 2 lbs! So my total loss is 30.6 lbs. And I get a new ribbon. I wish I could be more excited about it, but right now I need Midol and I just can't stop thinking about my friend! I'll be excited later though, I'm sure.

How did I not know this you ask? Well, maybe you ask, maybe your just sitting there shaking your head thinking, It was the food you Idiot! or maybe your not even reading this ridiculously long post and and have totally bypassed it!

I know it's been about 2 mos since I've posted.

Welcome back!

I can do the 1st (unless crarmy will have time to meet up on her visit on the way through town on that Friday? I am pretty flexible until school starts)

Sounds good to me! crarmy... how about it? got time for lunch?

I am in McKinney/Frisco area. About 40 minutes north of Dallas.

crarmy... I'm 30 minutes southwest of Fort Worth.

I then said, so my children could not hear....That I did not expect them to "treat" this bird that was almost dead....Please just kindly "dispose" of it. So, they finally understood what I was trying to imply, and told the children, that they would take care of the the baby bird.

Welcome, and great intro! I probably said "yep, been there" and "I know exactly what she's saying" about 1/2 dozen times while reading your post. So yeah, we all do understand, and we're glad you decided to join!

Dude! You hit 500 posts! Wooooo Hooooty!

And I get a new ribbon.

Congrats on the new bling!

I am so sorry , but our visit will be mega short this time, my son is saying bye-bye to his grandparents, and then we are off to New Mexico. But I would love to meet some of my fellow peeps, maybe next time. Thanks for the invite.
