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

[MJMouse]

pSS - when R you too (opposite of young) to put pony tai_ in your haair??? I"M HOT HOT HOT - I do NOT want hair on my nec_!!

LOL... I was just having the pony tail convo with a friend the other day. Doesn't want a "mommy" cut and can't go too short with all the curls w/o having a bit of an orphan annie look. However she's been getting flack from female family members for wearing a pony tail. I told her, I don't think you're ever "too old" to be comfortable!

But here are my alternatives to the "pony": when I want my hair up and am at work, I just use one of those big clip thingies and do a modified french twist. Also sometimes do a really neat (read not messy) chinagon and wrap a skiny scarf around the elastic band.

So, long-winded-answer-short --> go for it!

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Oh did anyone catch the So You think you can dance results show last night? I was sad that Sara went, but i suppose its getting so close to the end that they do have to pick off the good ones now...

I saw it. I was so sad for Sara. Dominic was weird last night.

I hate when it gets down to the end because I never want anyone to go home!

 

[TKDisneylover]

HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!​

Just checking in:

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE BIG LOSERS OUT THERE TODAY!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO STAYED THE SAME!

To everyone who had a gain, I'm right there with you (+2.2). But hey, we are all going to kick it into gear for next week. Right!?! I know your all with me and we-can-do-it!

On the BB front, I don't know what to think. I really liked Nick and was sad to see him go, however I agree that he is a bit slimey for going after another guys girl. ED is getting a bit annoying because he gets on those rants and goes over the edge with it. Danielle is whiney and I agree that she is closer to ED than everyone thinks. Their definitely in-cahoots! And Jessica has a whiney voice (a little annoying too), but I don't think she's so bad. Amber needs to go, I cannot understand how a person can cry at the drop a of hat. I mean, she said she's emotional, I think she's gone way beyond emotional! The rest we will see about Sunday.

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[If U Had Wings]

So I guess this is my first weigh-in.

Do you guys weigh yourselves first thing in the morning? That's what I did because I knew I would like the number better.

My mother saw on tv one time when they were saying that you weigh the least right after you shower. We got a good laugh out of thinking - what difference could it really make. I always thought if anything you'd weight more. We both tested it out and low and behold it was true. Now I always weigh myself right after I shower in the morning.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

My stupid, lying scale said -.2 down! WTFlip? I practically OWN a treadmill and total gym! I go up and down SO much. From day to day!!!! While on this thread, I've lost like 35 total pounds....and gained 27. Do the y even HAVE a yo-yo ribbon? A line graph would even show a decrease.

At least it's down. If not for this thread, I'd be up 20 with no down.

I know what you mean! I HATE the whole up a pound, down a pound thing. HOW can I gain or lose 2 lbs in 5 minutes?!?!? I really can't stand scales! Mine is finally showing me smaller numbers after the past couple of months hovering around the same figure. But I just don't trust my scale, I guess. I want to get down to a size 12 or 14. When I get there, I guess I'll know I'm at about the right weight, but I DO like to know I'm headed in the right direction, which is what I use the scale for....when it works. Anywho, we're all glad you're here. Heck, there wouldn't be a "here" if it weren't for you!

Lynda it's so amazing watching your progress. I've been cheering you on over here. My pom poms are almost worn out.

Thanks! And you can cheer yourself on too because you encouraged me to be here!

Lynda: ..i totally did the 4 weigh ins in a row this morning too just to be SURE lol! ( beautiful pics of the wedding by the way!)


Oh did anyone catch the So You think you can dance results show last night? I was sad that Sara went, but i suppose its getting so close to the end that they do have to pick off the good ones now...

Thank you! And as I said above, I just don't trust the darn scale! I stepped on it, and it said I was up like 1 lb from yesterday (which was still down from last week a little). Well, I had to try it again. (I always think I am standing on it unevenly or something.) So I got on it, and was down like 1.5 lbs, so I had to try again (3 more times! ), getting a different number each and every time. So finally, I just took the middle number, which I think was also the average of them all.

I DVRed the results show, but ran out of time to watch it last night. So, was it Sara and Dominic? That was my guess. Was I right??? It has definitely gotten to the point where I like everyone, and I don't want anyone to go home. And I BALLED during Lacey and Neil's second performance the other night! (I lost my dad about 4 years ago, so it hit a bit close to home.)

 

[DisneyObsession]

Up 2! (Thank-you Aunt Flo!!!)
I am trying to get my act together and get back on South Beach! DD's wedding is in 15 days and I really wanted to be out of the 190's! 4lbs to go! I can do it with the next 2 weeks on Phase 1 of South Beach.

 

[celerystalker]

Down 1.6

 

[HockeyKat]

Good job! I have no idea what editor pants are, but I'm proud of you anyway!


32 pounds total? Awesome!


But wouldn't you rather be down 0.2 instead of up 0.2?


Good work! As I like to remind people, if you can lose 1.6 pounds every week for a year, you'll be down 83 pounds! (Not that you have 83 pounds to lose, but you get the point.)


6 pounds!?! I do believe that you're our biggest loser so far this week!


Great job! Another 2.2 pounds, never to be seen again!

Editor pants are flat front slightly low rise "skinny" pants that are NOT forgiving of any kind of bulge.

-2 pounds! (I have not figured out the bold or colored letters, a computer genius I am not) I am down to 178.5. Last summer I was 160, for the first time in a LOOONG time(teenage years maybe?),and for me that was a size 12. While I would LOVE to be a size 5,7,or,9, I will be happy to just fit into all the cute clothes that I got last year, that are now just taking up space in my closet. It drives me crazy to know I was there, (however briefly) but now I am not. !!! CONGRATS on the -6 pounds MARJOL!!!! What is your secret???? I am ok with the -2 this week, it has been raining nonstop here in Florida this week , and i haven't been able to get outside to walk. We are in the middle of moving, so everything is in piles in my house, I literally cannot get to my elliptical machine. (not my favorite piece of equipment anyway, I like walking outside alot more...no kids!) But I know I need to step up the exercise. Counting calories, doing toning exercises, and drinking water 'till I slosh, that's been my week.

We are almost exactly the same weight... although 178 is a size 12 for me. I am trying to get to an 8/10 which is about 145 for me at 5'8.

Congrats to all the losers!!! Especially the newbies, the first weighin is the hardest!

 

[dance2874]

Congrats to all our loser today, I have seen some pretty numbers!

Oh did anyone catch the So You think you can dance results show last night? I was sad that Sara went, but i suppose its getting so close to the end that they do have to pick off the good ones now...

I wasnt horribly sad over Sara. Of the girls left I guess I was least 'attached' to her. I was sad over Dominic, but only because he is so silly it makes it interesting. And for untrained dancers, they both really handled what ever style that was thrown at them really well.

I DVRed the results show, but ran out of time to watch it last night. So, was it Sara and Dominic? That was my guess. Was I right??? It has definitely gotten to the point where I like everyone, and I don't want anyone to go home. And I BALLED during Lacey and Neil's second performance the other night! (I lost my dad about 4 years ago, so it hit a bit close to home.)

Yep, you got it right.

I loved that second dance piece too. Mia has had some weird dances in the past few weeks, and then she did this one that was so beautiful and touching I still remember the park bench one she was nominated for the emmy for too...gave me chills just like this one.

 

[punkin413]

eli and i are both SAMERS this week. i kinda expected that with me since it's just really starting to come off slower AND i'm sore from my weight classes this week. i always weigh more when i'm sore because of the acid buildup. anyway, i'm not complaining! i figured eli would've lost at least one, but we'll keep trying!

I weighed about 4-5 times this morning with different results each time.

me too!!!!!

I can NOT go to the zoo without getting one of those huge pretzels and a diet coke.

How do you guys avoid temptation in situations like that?

treat yourself. honestly, that's what i do. it's the normal, everyday activities that i changed. but most of the time when something special's going on, i allow myself to have something i wouldn't normally eat. you can't cut EVERYTHING out FOREVER or you'll just tortue yourself to the point where you have to give in and go crazy and gain all that weight back.

Ok I'm ready to talk BB. Must have distractions. (Contains spoilers if you haven't watch Thursday's episode)

Amber: Good grief, what the &%#%^ is wrong with her? If I was HOH, I'd nominate her just because she's annoying. Yeah right, with N. gone she is gonna cry less? Ok. Keep telling yourself that.

if she's like this with people she's only known for a month, i can't imagine what she's like in real life! i mean, how does she handle it when someone dies??? seriously....the girl is a looney tune.

Nick: Wow did we see a different side of him this week or what? Or at least I think so. I originally wanted Kail gone. But I am definitely not sad to see this guy leave. I have a feeling he would have done some serious back stabbing later on.

i didn't have anything against him except for the danielle thing. i have a boyfriend = stop torturing me and just be my friend.

ED: Wow, are we 12? Pouring drinks on people because we don't like them? He's now starting to get on my nerves.

my thoughts exactly. i dislike jen, too, but just because you dislike someone doesn't mean you have to be physical with them.

Jen: Don't like her. Don't hate her either. I did feel bad for her a little though when everyone (ED, Nick, Danielle) was ganging up on her. Seemed a little overkill to me.

i think she's a complete moron.

Jameka: God is speaking to her in the house? And telling her who to give the Veto to? And then, last night she says that God put her in the house to win the money? Sorry have your beliefs but hers seem a little contradictory to me.

what i got from the god thing is that she assumed that since jen drew her name to play in the veto competition, that that meant that god wanted her to play for jen. not that i see the reasoning behind it.....that's just what i took from it.

All right, I'm ready for a little BB talk. This is just my opinion on each of the remaining house guests. (There might be a possible spoiler or two in here, so if you haven't seen last night's episode, then you might want to skip this.)

Amber: Stop, just please stop! The crying is getting super annoying. She just seems very mentally unstable to me. Either that, or she's a great actress who can turn on the waterworks at a moment's notice. If that's the case, she needs to get herself onto a network soap ASAP.

see my comments above to wonders.

Nick: Thank Buddha he's gone! I've said it before, and I'll say it again. He seemed like a slime ball and a sleaze to me. Seriously, one of the unwritten "guy codes-of-honor" is that you never mess with another man's girl. Ever. There was no excuse for him flirting with Daniele like he did knowing that she has a boyfriend at home. The guy just made me sick.

ditto.

ED: I've done a complete 180 on him. Early on, he was my favorite player because he would call it as he saw it. But he's taken that to such an extreme that he is just a big bully now. I've got a feeling that this personal vendetta against Jen is what is going to end up being his undoing.

he's too confrontational. i like that he's honest, but the whole angry confrontational thing is going to shoot him in the foot. he'll be gone soon i think.

Daniele: I'm not a huge fan. I think, as others on here have stated, that her and ED are a lot closer than they are letting on. Besides that, the fact that she would let Nick woo her like he did turns me off a bit.

one of my strongest qualities is loyalty, therefore i think what she did to her boyfriend is disgusting. it would be fine if she and nick were just friends, but they kissed. that's too much in my book.

Jen: She's starting to grow on me now. I can't quite explain it, but I actually think I am starting to root for her now. I personally have no problem with her throwing the Veto competition, if that is in fact what she did. She knew Jameka had her back, so why not take advantage of that if it'll buy you another week in the house? In real life, putting someone in that position might be a bit underhanded. But this isn't exactly real life.

nooooooooo!!!!!! i still hate her. she's a moron. end of story. now i do have to say that i have no problem with what she did in the veto comp, either. ED would've done the same thing....he needs to get off his high and mighty horse he think he's on. but i still hate jen. the minute she took the picture of her mom off the wall i hated her.

Jameka: I really don't have any opinion on her, except that I find her reliance on her faith to guide her through the competition a little bit odd. It is right up there with professional athletes thanking God after they win a game; like God has nothing better to do than make sure the Cowboys cover the spread.

i agree. you can't pray for money. it just doesn't work that way. but i do like how she's playing the game...at this point. that could change though.

Jessica: Another one that I am starting to warm up to, but I still don't have much of an opinion on her. Her voice is annoying, but she is awfully cute so I can look past the voice.

i'm starting to tolerate her too. her voice still grates on my nerves, but her game play is the best so far in my opinion. as far as the cute thing......her eyebrows don't match and that bugs me.

Zach: Just a big dope. He adds nothing to the house, but he might stick around for a while just because nobody will see him as a threat.

agreed.

Kail: America seems to hate her since they are always voting to get her nominated and evicted, but I don't have a problem with her. I think she is someone who is good in the physical competitions, but the mental ones she struggles with.

she started playing too aggressively too early and now she constantly makes herself look like an idiot.

Eric: I like him. He might be my favorite person in the house. He's got sort of a goofy attitude that reminds me a lot of one of my best friends, so that might have something to do with it. I think he makes the perfect America's player since he seems to have a pretty good power of persuasion.

i like him, but like i said before, he has this nervousness about him that bugs me. i don't think i could carry on a conversation with him for very long.

Dustin: My 2nd favorite person in the house, for no real reason at all. I just think he seems like a good guy. But what is up with him saying that he's going to take his girlfriend on the trip with him?!? Is he no longer gay? Or is he saying girlfriend the same way girls talk about their female friends?

i think he was making that girlfriend comment sort of tongue-in-cheek. i think. anyway, i like him, too. and i can't believe people got so offended that he took the trip and the money.....c'mon. it's a game. you're ALL there for money!!!!! duh.

Oh did anyone catch the So You think you can dance results show last night? I was sad that Sara went, but i suppose its getting so close to the end that they do have to pick off the good ones now...

i have to admit that i voted for lauren. there's just something about her that's grown on me lately and i don't think she should go yet. now next week that may be a different story. sabra's still my favorite though.

 

[Wonders10]

I have been really blue today. On and off anyway. I relaxed, did a lot of cleaning including cleaning out my closet of old clothes I will never ever wear again. But then something will set me off and I will just tear up. I'm not PMSing so I know that isn't the problem. And I'm not Amber so I know I'm not crying for no good reason.

I think it is the boy. Deep down I am disappointed that he doesn't want to move forward instead of staying still. Even though I do know that he likes me and has valid points for not wanting anything serious. But I don't know. I have never felt like this about a guy before.

And I was trying to be nice and share everything with my mom...just the fact that he doesn't want anything serious but I guess we will continue to see each other. She didn't seem to get that. Which trying to explain it to her was making me feel really yucky. And I feel like she was trying to turn him into the bad guy. Which he could be, but he's being pretty nice about it.

I hate him for making me feel like this.

I second that motion! If you deprive yourself today, you may sabotage yourself for the long run.

That stinks. My mom never 'got it' when I would try to explain stuff to her, so I stopped trying. It sounds like there is something really there between you guys, making it all the more difficult that he is just not ready for anything more. Maybe it would help to have a really good cry and just get the feelings out? I know that helped me a ton once before. I just went someplace where nobody could here me blubbering and let it all out. I was holding back tears about something for days. So, I just allowed myself to be upset and once the moment has passed there was no looking back, no more tears on the subject. Hope that makes sense!

 

[aries1980]

Lucky! I still owe a little! EEEEK!

[the Fidge]

Hey WOnders! WEll if Mom is mad at the guy I guess that means she just does not apporve of anyone that doesn't realize right off the bat how truly wonderful a girl you are! See, she already knows how great you are and any guy that doesn't pick up on that in the first 5 minutes to her well, shes your biggest fan, don't be angry that she is marvelled by you!

Now the guy , well nothing personal WIDISNEYFAN, but men do many things slower than gals do! Do not take it personally~ DH is still getting around to some projects from 1995!

Now, women are esaier to relaize and see how things are men like to wait and watch a bit. Nothing wrong with that at all! You wouldn't be so keen about him if every nice gal he dated he got hot and heavy from the jump.

Breath girly girl, sit back and be happy in the knowledge that someone you think is specail is agetting a chance to get to know you!

Sat away from emotional eatting, dating is wierd it can send you to the moon and stars or have you out in confusion in the milky way! Either way you are participating in dance of life and its all good then, by the way isn't it SWEET to dance in a smaller dress!

Thank you! (and thanks to Jen and mjmouse too!) Jen, I got that cry out. Boy was it a doozy. I don't know how Amber does it...it's exhausting to bawl all the time. Plus it gives me a headache.

Fidge..the only good thing for sure is that since I really started to be interested in him, my appetite has been nil to non existent. So I definitely have not been doing the emotional eating thing with him...which is refreshing because usually I do.

I think I'm getting so upset because I feel like we really do have a connection. If he just didn't show any interest, it'd be different. But in 2 dates and a month or so of friendship and crushing, he has treated me better than any guy ever has.

Okay, taking a deep breath and moving on...

 

[katelynsmommy2001]

Good morning everyone. Looks like we had a busry two days around here--very chatty. I have another busy weekend. Kids have musical rehearsal today and we have to finish up some school stuff. Hope that everyone has a great day.

 

[MA pigletfan]

i have to admit that i voted for lauren. there's just something about her that's grown on me lately and i don't think she should go yet. now next week that may be a different story. sabra's still my favorite though.

nice! i always watch it the next day or too late at night to get in on the voting times..i agree Lauren is growing on me as well..Sabra is beautiful to watch.
