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

[the Fidge]

LOSS OF 2 LBS!!!ok I am heading back in the right direction after the gain from vacation. So this weekend I will be making some meals up for me ready to go so that way I don't have to think too much about what I want to have as apposed to what I will have! The wee loss is helping me today get refocused. DH was very helpful after we both had a good scream aobut the new policies at his company. DH pointed out that I can sue my time off in the summer to go for walks with DS and gardening and clearing out the garage of his "stuff"!!! I siad hmmmm ok I think I will scrapbook instead lol!!

The wonderful thing about a new day is a new chance to reaffirm goals and start new. We do have to change our dates for vacation so maybe God is taking care of us instead of things going wrong like our car or one of us being ill or etc.....ok so thats my bright side of life thinking for today. The ince thing ans shocker was DH saying he felt sad that I would not be there for the Peeps meet but maybe he can send me down by myself in January. I tohught that was very kind of him. I think I will keep him another week.

Need to get vet over again cat is a mess. SHe is a tough little girl who is a real scrapper she takes on Bears and deer and anything else that comes our way and is sooo tiny. SHe acts like a kitten but is really 8 years old and vet said he has no idea how she hangs on. SHes not very pretty on the eyes and is not friendly but is endeared to us. WE found her and she was on the way out 8 years ago tough little girl I admire her spunk, but sometimes I wish she would know its ok to close her eyes. That may sound cold its really the opposite.

OK on the happy side of things today I will be working on my garden later and that really gets me going I just love new signs of life it does it for me.

UM and DISNEYJO I love your toothfairy stories and wish I would have been so creative ! You guys should make a chilrens book out of them and charge in disney dollars!!!!

WIDISNYFAN_ funny I was wondering how you and DW are doing with the move. A true test of love is how much you can laugh with each other during a move!!!

DENE- Thank you for the gun show I think I burned calorie looking!!! OK Melinda can you send me that favorite button here. Inspiring simply inspiring!!! I am all aobut staying motivated!!!!

my tohught of today : What other people think of me is none of my business, what I think of me IS!!!!

speaking of the chiropractor, i had a "peep moment" at the chiropractor on wednesday. i was wearing my black gouchos that i got about a year ago - size 12. since i'm in a 10 now they don't fit, but i don't want to buy all new clothes until i reach my goal. so i'm improvising.....i had a belt on with them and they were literally doubled over in the front and back (my shirt covered this up, by the way!). i wasn't planning on going to the chiropractor that day or i would have wore something more presentable, knowing that he would be seeing the waist of my pants when i laid down, but on the way home from court i had some extra time and i figured i'd get an adjustment before we left for vacation, so he squeezed me in. anyway, he was totally making fun of my pants. he was like, "oh, my gosh...look at your pants! how much weight have lost????" it was really embarassing, but in a good way!

by the way, dance, hope your back feels better! i love my chiropractor....he always makes me feel better when i have an aching back!

That is too funny!! I actually just went to change my shorts after you said that. The ones I had on were way too big and I didnt even think about the fact I was going to be contoring into all sorts of positions. I could have lost my pants!! ACK!

I usually love my chiropractor because he has a firm way of adjusting me, but today I am not so sure I am going to love that. There is a fantastic massage person there but I dont think I have time for that today. My daycare kids are coming at noon, and I have a 30 min drive each way to see him. My mommy is coming to drive me though

OK, I don't know how to post my weigh in this week. Attn: Wendy - Here's what I've got. Do with it what you will. So, 2 weeks ago (my last weigh in), I was at 211.6, I think. Last week, I got several different numbers, all hovering around the 224-225 mark. This week, I am at 221.2 (according to the same scale - I haven't exchanged it yet.). So, IF the 211.6 was accurate, I gained and have lost part of that gain, but I am finding it hard to believe that my numbers have been accurate over the past few weeks. Count this however you want Wendy. PM me if you want. I am hoping to go looking at scales tonight for a possible exchange later this weekend.



I did! Actually, it was the first thing I ate! When I went to take Jasper out (the first thing I do in the morning), I was soooooo groggy, and she was sooooooo groggy. And I decided to pop a Dove square in my mouth before heading outside. I don't drink soda during the week anymore, so I figured this would serve as my 'feine fix and maybe wake me up a little. I did it again today too!

I recently bought the WW scale they sell at Walmart- it was a bit more expensive but I figured the WW people know their stuff about weight and scales. It has been telling me I am losing pretty much every week, so it's a keeper

Good morning, Peeps!
Congrats to all the losers and stay-the-samers!

I have lost 1.5 lbs this week...I was hoping it would be more. But I am not complaining. A loss is ALWAYS good no matter what the number.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

 

[punkin413]

okay...i'm back to post my weigh-in numbers. i'm -2 pounds today. i'm happy with that since i stayed the same last week......and since i might have had a couple of bites of DH's pizza last night!

oh, and AF arrived about 5 minutes ago, which i don't think affected my numbers, but we're leaving tomorrow morning for WDW!!! i purposely skipped a week of sugar pills so i wouldn't have a visitor during vacation. and this week she arrives late..... it shouldn't be too awful though because she usually only stays for like 2 days.

off to run my 684 errands today before we leave tomorrow....have a good friday, everyone!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Lost 4 lbs!!!!

I get my ribbon back!!!! WooHooty!!!!

 

[eeyore45]

Down .5 yes, POINT 5 big whoop... cause it will return tomorrow I'm sure

I'm to meet fdil for lunch - I am depressed. I am continuing to focus more on the runs - today I'm going all out and hope to make it 2.5 miles, with a 3 or 3.5 mile run on Sunday (ok my goals are more for the event/competiton thread)

My mind is playing games with me, negative self talk is intruding - I feel like a drama queen.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I recently bought the WW scale they sell at Walmart- it was a bit more expensive but I figured the WW people know their stuff about weight and scales. It has been telling me I am losing pretty much every week, so it's a keeper

Well, I am guessing mine will have to come from Linens n Things because that's where this one came from. We bought it in December or January, and I still have to look to see what the manufacturer's warranty is. I am sure I am out of the exchange policy, so I think the only way they would exchange it is maybe if it isn't working. (Or I suppose if we tell them we have no receipt?) It wasn't cheap, so I am hoping to be able to get credit for at least some of what we paid for it!

I am really frustrated with the scale issue because I don't get to go to the doctor until 5/31, and I want to know what I REALLY weigh before we leave for WDW in less than 2 weeks! Plus, I am really beginning to think my hormones are out of whack because AF has always been on a very regular schedule, and she has been tweaking it a little bit lately. It's not outrageous - just not what I'm used to. Could be because of all the changes in diet and exercise too, but I want to discuss with doctor. I also have had the WORST breakout on my chin this week! Well, probably not THE worst, but I have had 3 very deep, painful pimples there this week. They are finally starting to go away, but they have been VERY irritating! This probably means AF will be here very soon - either that or I have begun 2 weeks of PMS symptoms.

Anyway, all of that aside, my pants are actually bigger than they were when the scale said 211.6! So, that is keeping me going. I wore my $5 bargain New York & Co pants the other day that didn't fit when I bought them, but they do now. So, I am officially down to a size 18, and hopefully it won't take as long to get to 16 as it did to get to 18.

 

[Minnie_Moo]

Lost 2.75 pounds this week.

 

[mlill]

-1.2

Sorry guys! Not much of a loss this week. I'm sure it's because we had a nice dinner in Chicago a few nights ago before our Loreena McKennitt concert at the Civic Opera House. It's amazing what one meal can do to a diet! I'll do better next week!

Have a great weekend!
-Michelle

 

[HockeyKat]

-1.2 lbs. I am happy about it since I had a terrible eating weekend.

217/195.8/160. I started WISH at 201, so I get bling today!!

Wendy/Melinda, if it's okay, I will be doing my weigh in on Thursday next week since we leave for WDW on Friday early AM.

Bee, congrats on the 6 lbs. That is a great loss for a week! You will get back to the 2s soon.

Minnie, DO (4 lbs! woot!), punkin, daisy, fidge, mlill, eventer, congrats on the weight loss!

DisneyJo, thanks for the CSR info!! We have stayed there twice so far and it is our fav mod, so much so that I really wanted to go back this trip.

snowwhite, sorry to hear about your mom.

 

[karenell]

Lost 12 pounds - but this isn't really a good (or healthy) thing.

DH lost his job (of 22 years) a week ago Tuesday, and we are both still reeling physically, anyway, from the shock. Eating and sleeping became, apparently, something we really no longer needed to do. Not a diet I'd recommend to anyone, btw

While we do know that the Lord has plans for us -- it became immediately evident that those plans did not include our Big Anniversary Bash With All of our Kids and Grandkids in WDW in May--The first thing I did when I got the news was to call and cancel all of our reservations (Rooms, Grand Gathering Experiences, ADRs and the hardest of all, my grandson's Pirate Adventure Cruise). Took a full half-hour to get them all done.

But -this is just one more way we know God is good to us - the grandchildren never knew. Our oldest DD, their mother, had an elaborate plan to surprise them in the car on the way to the airport with a treasure hunt to find Nonni and Poppy (who would have been, of course, in WDW). The grandkids will never know of the trip that they didn't take.

My kids - all in their 20's, care only about the well being of their father, which I so greatly appreciate.

SO - my plan is to start eating again without gaining TOO many of those pounds BACK (which, logic tells me, ain't gonna happen, as those pounds were not pounds of fat, but most likely water from lack of carbs.)

Regardless...it's good to be back online. I'll probably only go a few pages back to try to catch up...

My new mantra:
The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.

 

[DisneyObsession]

-6 lbs.

It didnt hold... I ate lunch yesterday. so.. I have the 3 in my number again.

YUCK!!!

But you still lost 6!!! That's awesome!!! That 3 will be gone next week!

I stayed the same again this week. I hate plateaus ....well maybe it was that chocolate Easter Bunny that I swiped from DDs basket. Can you imagine it was still there? I did get her permission first!

Even with her permission that cute little bunny leaves his mark!!! Hope he is gone so the temptation is gone as well.

. i don't feel like eating when i'm stressed out, either.

You DON"T eat when your stressed????
That's when I do the MOST eating!!!

my thought of today : What other people think of me is none of my business, what I think of me IS!!!!

I this quote!!! Can I borrow it?!?

Down .5 yes, POINT 5 big whoop... cause it will return tomorrow I'm sure

I'm to meet fdil for lunch - I am depressed. I am continuing to focus more on the runs - today I'm going all out and hope to make it 2.5 miles, with a 3 or 3.5 mile run on Sunday (ok my goals are more for the event/competiton thread)

My mind is playing games with me, negative self talk is intruding - I feel like a drama queen.

The fact that you are running is an amazing thing!! I have never been or ever will be a runner. It's just not in my genes! You'll hit the goal you are shooting for without a problem!

 

[DisneyObsession]

-1.2

What do you mean "sorry"??? You lost 1.2 lbs that great!!! A loss is a loss and should not be taken lightly! Celebrate!! You did great!!!!

BTW, did you take the pics in your signature? They're wonderful!!!

 

[Wonders10]

+ 0.8 lbs

Yes it is a gain but I did fall off the wagon for about 3 weeks and I missed about 3 WW meetings. So considering all that, gaining less than a pound is pretty miraculous. Plus going back to my meeting last night really helped to remind me that I do want it and I'm ready to start fresh. Although I'm very confused as to why I did not gain more. When I say I fell off the wagon, I mean it. I was binging and eating fast food, candy. But usually I skipped a meal whereas before I'd eat that too...maybe that's why? Anyway, it won't be happening again anytime soon.

I have a meeting (over the phone) to talk to my supervisor about my externship sites for the fall and winter. I have to do a semester in pediatrics and 1 semester in adults. Send pixie dust that she is helpful and can get me into a good site. She is a little loopy and it took me forever just to set this meeting up!

Have a great Friday Peeps! In 2 weeks, I'll be hanging with my friend at WDW!

 

[mlill]

What do you mean "sorry"??? You lost 1.2 lbs that great!!! A loss is a loss and should not be taken lightly! Celebrate!! You did great!!!!

Thank you!

BTW, did you take the pics in your signature? They're wonderful!!!

Thanks! Yes, I took them a few years ago. WDW is my happy place.

I'm so sorry! We were where you are now about 4 years ago. It was completely devastating. Our world just came crashing down around us. BUT don't give up hope. My DH did find another job. It was a long road, but we are doing much better now financially. Things happen for a reason. Change is very hard, but it can be good when the dust settles. Keep the faith and you will make it through this tough time.

[dance2874]

OK, well I guess I will go ahead and post my loss because I am not sure I will get any ofther 'progress' this morning. -1.6 I am .2 away from new bling, but I will for sure get that next week, if not tomorrow!

Just got back formt he chiropractor, he was gentle with me but we couldnt get my spine to readjust. I even had a massage, and the therapist said she had never seen this bad of a spasm before. Lovely. Good newes is I get to go back next week for another massage

And since we are discussing girly issues today it seems...sorry guys in advance...AF came last week, about a week early. She usually only stays 5 days max and that seemed to be the case this time. Until yesterday and today-strange spotting both days. Like once or twice a day. Weird. I have never had that before. Any ideas? Add to that my lower back pain, that I thought was attributed to the battle with DD yesterday and now I am wondering if there could be something else going on. I dont have a regular OB that I see here yet, I know, I know...I am a bad girl. I really dont want to have to see a new OB for something like this that is hopefully trivial when they dont rellly 'know me' or my history yet if that makes sense. How long should I wait before calling somebody?

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

since i'm in a 10 now they don't fit, but i don't want to buy all new clothes until i reach my goal. so i'm improvising.....i had a belt on with them and they were literally doubled over in the front and back (my shirt covered this up, by the way!).

I'm in the same boat right now. I've lost a pants size, so all of my work pants and jeans are really baggy. I have like three pairs of khakis that I wear to work, all the same type. (When I find something that looks good on me, I load up!) They don't have a button, but rather a metal latch thing. The problem is when I cinch up my belt, this latch thing slips out and I am basically walking around with only my belt and my zipper keeping my pants on. And my jeans, oy. I look like a slob in them now. We were out shopping last weekend, and I found a pair of jeans that I loved at either the Tommy Hilfiger or Old Navy outlet store. They fit great, but then I realized that with summer coming, I only wear jeans once a week for casual Friday at work. And what if i drop another size or two by the end of summer? That would be $35 for pants I would only feel comfortable in 5 or 6 times. Not worth it.

WIDISNYFAN_ funny I was wondering how you and DW are doing with the move. A true test of love is how much you can laugh with each other during a move!!!

Well, the move itself was interesting. By our 13th straight hour of moving last week Sunday (4/22), we were really being short with each other. And we had some tense moments Monday and Tuesday finishing up. But we got through it ok. Living with our parents has been interesting, but we are starting to get into a routine. Both of our parents have been giving us plenty of space, which is much appreciated. And we are planning a weekend getaway the beginning of June just to be alone for a while. But this whole experience really makes me appreciate having a place of our own. So I think I am going to enjoy that new home that much more once we get to move in.

WDW will still be there.

Prayers of comfort to you and your family!
