check this one out, too: http://www.hamsterwatch.com/

it's not as comprehensive as the one eeyore posted above, but i don't think i'd have time to read the transcripts of everything that happens!!! anyway, i love this guy's summaries of what happens on the feeds as opposed to what they show you on TV. every year he says he's gonna quit doing this and every year he comes back. we'll see if he'll be back this year!

hello and GOOD morning!
FIRST..i am so nervous about my first WW weigh in tonight..i have totally been OP this first week, i mean i used my flex pts..but that is what they are for right?? If i don't show a loss i am going to be bummin! Anyone else go through this nervousness when they first started WW??

ALSO..i know it was a few posts ago, but i loved the Office banter and Dwight quotes..love that Shrute..but of course i have a soft spot for Jim!

 

[pigget74]

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!

StaceyPoppinsPartyGirl....Seems everyone in America (or at least in the Hattiesburg area) has now been to a party at your house cept me. Glad the head and hip are cooperating. We miss you!
Well I live in Hattiesburg and have not been invited yet
PIGGET....Love the name. Miss you. Monica picked Rebecca (only spelled like this) too! Did you know? I did not know that she was using the name as well. We really wanted a biblical name and the middle name to be Rhea, but did not want to use Rachel Rhea.

I hope that everyone has a great day. I have a lot to get accomplished today trying to finish packing up my room--since I get to move rooms yet again.

have you ever woke up and realized WOW my hair looks bad--I really need a hair cut--well that happened to me today--almost overnight-so i am now trying to squeeze in a hair appointment as well.

ALL THE TIME!!!! DH says i have hair issues because i change my style/color at least every other month!

 

[UtahMama]

It is a beautiful day today!

Pigget- don't be bummed if you didn't lose very much (or not at all). After you weigh in and go to class, come home and post what the WW class was about. Share the info, please. I need the motivation and cant go myself.

Ok, I totally miss Dene! Did she break up with us? I miss her hunky trainer dude.

I really like Big Brother. And there's a hair stylist reality show I've watched a couple times called Shear Genius (or something like that) that was very good. Good and CATTY.

Me TOOO! I call it my "flavor of the month"!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Happy Belated Birthday Celery!!! (not sure how I missed that yesterday!)

ALL THE TIME!!!! DH says i have hair issues because i change my style/color at least every other month!

I to change the color of my hair!! I keep trying to find just the right color! I'm due for a change, come to think of it!

Don't worry about what the scale says...I know, easier said than done...but you have made positive changes this week with your eating and you are heading toward a healthier you!!! Just relax!!!


I like to watch Dancing With the Stars, American Idol and Amazing Race. Those are my reality show obsessions. Once they're over I'm not sure what else I'll watch. Maybe I'll get more done around the house at night from now on!

DH is turning 50 on Thurs, so we are heading to Niagara Falls, Canada for a night in a hotel, complete with Jacuzzi on Wed night. Then on Thurs we are spending the day together at Niagara on the Lake, which has lots of cute shops and we'll do alot of walking. He didn't want a party, so I'm not giving him one. Spending the day together will be the best present anyway! I can't wait!!!

 

[jeriber]

anybody gonna watch Pirate Masters???

Me-I am! I'll have to DVR it and watch it over the weekend though.

 

[celerystalker]

Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes! I really appreciate it.
I had a pretty good day until I decided to eat creme' brulee and then I got sick. Serves me right, eh?
I'll try to keep up more - it's just hard with work right now.

Sad day today. My grandma passed away. She was 94 and had been in a nursing home since before my mom died..so probably '03. She had dimensia really bad and didn't even know my dad the last few months. I had not been up to see her since Xmas of '05. It sounds horrible but at that time she still knew me. I wanted to remember her that way. My dad was ok with that. I got A LOT of crap from my crazy aunt and uncle (who live in Maine..pot calling the kettle black) about not visiting her. But I thought it was a personnal choice. I am ok with it. My dad went every week though. So anyway, I am hanging in there but it's still sad. She basically raised me b/c both my parents work. I even have her cat that I gave her back in '93. She always said the cat would out live her!

So sorry! Really rough when they don't even know you anymore!

Your decision is fine, don't worry about it.

I am sorry for your loss. I know at times that family can be a pain, but you did what was best for you. I think that I would have done the same thing. You need to remember things about her from your past that were good--not what it was like during the past few years.

i'm so sorry to hear this. i'm really, really close with my maternal grandmother and i'm not looking forward to dealing with this (if the dimensia thing happens with her). i will be thinking of you and your family.

Kat and MrHockeyKat Happy ANNIVERSARY!!! (and Kat, get off the computer.... j/k!!! You tease you!! (on having pix of AKLV!!)

Thanks!! Unfortunately he has been in Charlotte since Sat morning. He is returning tonight so we will celebrate after work. Bad eating, here we come!! I am trying to be good all day and head to the gym at lunch to try and mitigate the damage.

I downloaded my pics from the camera today. My AKLV ones came out only allright, but I will send you a link to them once I get them up on the website. I have a ton of VWL ones as well, of the one-bedroom where we stayed, if anyone is interested? I will put a few in my trip report if/when it ever gets finished.

Hi there everybody! I would love to join this support thread as I am also trying to improve my health and lose weight by improving what I am eating and exercise. My goal is to lose the 50 pounds that I let creep on the past few years. University made me very lazy! I love that these boards have such a supportive community to help people achieve their goals. My main difficulty is that I work odd hours at my job which throws off my eating schedule as I have no set daily routine. I am really going to try and eat regularly as I had fallen into the habit of only eating once or twice a day and then what I was eating was usually not the best of choices. I am also working on drinking my water daily! I am hoping to lose 10 pounds by the time I leave for my trip at the end of June. Wish me luck!

Welcome!!! I am back on the wagon as of yesterday, and I need to lose about 40 lbs. I don't have a weird schedule but DH does, so it does make a routine really difficult. Keep with us and the accountability will definitely help! I find it harder to stray when I know I have to come back and report it here.

I am so far off the wagon I may not be able to find the tracks but I have to.I don't want to be the only PEEP bigger than she started in September.

ME TOO!! Let's hop back on together. We can do this!!

Sad day today. My grandma passed away.

Awww... so sorry.

I figured out how to multi-quote today!!

I am doing well so far this week. Totals for yesterday:
B: coffee (10)
L: 4 cheese manicotti/broccoli/caramel apple dessert Healthy Choice, 380
D: Michelina's Chicken Fried Chicken (330) and artichoke (60)
S: FF popcorn (200) and 2 glasses wine (300).
Total for the day, 1280. Exercise, 26 min on elliptical, weights, abs.

After my 2-week binge of badness... I have a question for the lady Peeps. Do you hurt when you eat bad? I ache all over when I go on these bad binges. Even my "girls" seem to ache and feel big and weird. I have put on a lot of weight there as well as everywhere else, and all the walking at WDW may have contributed to that (jiggle, jiggle...)

 

[celerystalker]

to eventer - you're in my thoughts and prayers.

hockeycat - only since I've had the surgery - If i eat something bad, I ache all over, especially in my stomach area the next day.
my jigglies aren't affected though. hee

I am so sorry for your loss. At least you can take comfort in knowing that she lived a very full, and I am sure happy, life.

As for not visiting her more, you are right that it was your choice. And if you are ok with it emotionally, that is all that matters. My grandma died about 6 years ago when she was 88. She lived in a nursing home for about 2 years before she died. She was pretty much a second mother to me growing up, and for the last 10 years of her life I would visit her every Friday night after school or work before going out with my friends. But when she was down and out and on oxygen the last few days of her life, I made the decision to not go and see her. She was unresponsive, and I didn't want to see her like that. Everyone told me "you'll regret not seeing her one last time". But you know what? I don't regret it for one second. My memories of her are all happy, and I didn't want to mess with that. Call me selfish, but I honestly believe she wouldn't want it any other way.

Yikes! I am so out of shape. I just did 20 minutes on the elliptical and I feel so gross now. I know that it will take a while to get back into the swing of things again. I plan on attempting the elliptical again tonight for at least another 20 minutes so that will put me at 40 minutes for the day. Perhaps I will go on a walk tonight with my mom if it doesn't rain. She is trying to do nightly walks to train herself for WDW. Well that's it for now. I will check in again tonight and let you all know how my day turned out.

 

[Mickey'sMainMami]

Hi, sorry it's been a couple of days since I visited. Been so busy here at work. Thank you Punkin for asking WIDisneyFan to post his creedo! I agree 100%! As for the warning about how fast this thread moves, you guys weren't kidding! I still haven't weighed myself. Not dying to look at the numbers, plus I am probably still bloated and retaining water from the whole birthing process. I am just trying to start slow for now, and gradually once my head straightens out more, get really into the swing of things. Thanx for all the advice, it will come in handy. I will probaby weigh myself in 2 weeks, and see how it goes from there.

 

[spongemommie05]
