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

[Eventer98]

Well, yeah, you have horses!!

I'm jealous!! I was one tha always, always wanted horses, to be free, to have that responsibility - and I know its work.... but still...

sorry if I make you feel uncomfortable this weekend in particular ---

I'm sorry..how did my post relate to my horses? I totally lost where you came from!! It's Friday..I am in tired mood!!

Things are looking up around here. I officially have poison ivy but now that I know waht it is, i have the right medication for it so I'm feeling better. The youngin's are doing much better, no one fells icky and they went outside to play today. I talked to the bank and to the scchool and we have my tuition worked out for my pharmacy tech course. After I finish, I can work in a pharmacy and 6 mos later, I can sit for the national certification exam.

DH is trying to watch a movie that looks like it could be rather involved.

and to those who need them. to everyone else.

I get poison ivy really bad...I have been to the ER twice for it. If my dogs gets the oils on their fur and I pet them....I'm a goner!! What meds are you on? They put me on predizone (sp?)once and it just made me gain weight. Ugh. Hope you have something better!! Glad to hear your family is feeling better...just in time for the weekend!

I am here.. checking in.

 

[lexmelinda]

OK....I'm back from the mall! Torture! I'd rather put a sharp stick in my eye than shop with a 13 yr old for a dress.

Shannon....Had a big over the sad before picture. Haircut is VERY cute! Song on my mom's mother's day CD: Because You Loved Me by Celine Dion.

Lynda....Don't be discouraged! It was that one wrong 12 pound week that got things all off track. You have had GREAT will power and you've made steady progress so keep your chin up.

FRAN....So sorry about your friend. Prayers for those who are grieving.

TOTAL SO FAR THIS WEEK........12 pounds

Still waiting for some other peeps to check in so I'll give you a final total in the morning. Nighty-night!

[Eventer98]

Welcome back Utah and Punkin!!

 

[belle8306]

Welcome back! I'm looking forward to hearing all about it!

 

[denecarter]

Sorry, running late... down 2.4 lbs.

Dene - how's the Jay saga? I cant find where I left off..did things work out/get ironed out? I like yournew bling - you rock girlfriend.

Thanks for the blingcouragement... and congrats on your own!

Things are peachy keen I feel better about all of our friendships... more "included".

Stacy sent me one of those text messages that said "When it hurts to look back and your scared to look ahead, look beside you and I'll be there. Send to seven friends, if you get three back you are a true friend." Well, I never send these to X number of friends, but I do send them back to whoever sent it to me. A few minute later, Jay sent me the same one! I thought that was very sweet.

Let's see, do I have any vicarious living for any of my peeps... hmmmm, okay. Last Saturday, ended up sleeping on Jay's couch until 5 am... too bad his "friend" was in the room with him. BUT THEY WERE ONLY SLEEPING (cuz she went to bed earlier than everyone else, not a night owl... and besides, don't think I could have crashed on the couch knowing they were... uh... busy.)

Last night we (Stacy, Jay, and I plus one of Jay's former neighbors) "hung out". Some of them consumed vast quantities of alcohol (not me, pacing myself at 2 light beers, no cigarettes either). Next thing I know, Jay and Stacy are comparing belt sizes and ! Dene' did not participate in either activity (but she did watch). Don't you just hate it when skinny people (127 lbs) complain about how fat they are (look at this fat on my belly)? Anyway, if it was a contest, Jay won. I reminded Stacy this morning that at least she had underwear on... and her response was "didn't he?".... Uhhhhhhh, NO! (but his glutes were all we could see) Apparently squats and lunges are very... effective... at shaping the .

Jay's former neighbor Christy wanted to hook me up with her friend Eddie... uhhhhhh, NO! The guy is 42ish, lives with his mom, and sleeps with an oxygen mask! Thanks anyway, I'll just continue to drool over Jay instead! (and he is very drool-able, especially when he gets all flirty when we hang out).

Today, I got an invitation to a teacher retirement party for someone from my old school in Fort Worth. I haven't seen any of them in almost a year! I hinted that I've "changed a little since anyone saw me last".

Anyway, gotta go crash... not enough sleep last night, an hour on the treadmill, and 70 minutes on the elliptical, and I have to be at yoga in the morning... NIGHT PEEPS!

You were loking at his WHAT?!!! Thanks - I was needing a dose of As Jay Turns, According to Dene' and yes i hate it when skinny girls talk about how fat they are. and i take absurd pleasure in the fact that the two skinnyones from my office that have forever shoved it dwn our throats that they could eat whatever and nver exercise and "never gain a pound" are now toting some serious junk in the trunk and asking ME for diet exercise advice. bwahahaha I tell them go get a burger, its protein bwahahahaaaa


So I have been working on this project at a different office this week, around a bunch of burly men no less (hubbahubba - not) anyhoo one comes thru and says hey- wheres that cute little girl, ..so naturally I know that he is talking about my friend who is a cute little 45 yo woman, nevertheless...I am still the fat friend hangin out with the "cute little girl" even at 34 yo ...I am determined that soemday I will be teh cute girl and not the fat friend.

Fran

oh BTW I dont think I got the new job. oh well. prolly more stress anyhow

[dance2874]

BELLE - I'm gonna BORG you too - I left those off, because they are on my list to slip to future daughter in law!! Have you heard alabama's "angels among us" Well, I do love the sappy songs!!

OMG, I love that song. I bawl like a baby when I listen to it most the time though. It came out around the time my grandpa died and I really felt him with me when I listened to it for some reason. Once those kids start singing, it is over for me

Thanks for the blingcouragement... and congrats on your own!

OMG! Ilove that word!

I am on the quest for a new swimming suit..anyone have one they love? I need support up top, but I am hoping to find one that I can detach the straps or something. I am in my sisters wedding in a few weeks and I cant have tan lines in my dress! I am OK with a 2 piece tankini style. Too many stretch marks for anything more risque than that And if it didnt cost a fortune that would be nice!

Just wanted to pop in before bed...have a good night everyone!

 

[dwheatl]

I lost a good friend last night. She died around midnight. Please remember her family.

Prayers for your friend's family, and you as well.

Got my haircut today. And highlighted. I did get a sideswept bang (fringe), but you can barely see it in the pic I'm gonna show you. Next time, I'm going to go for a heavier bang. Actually I could have gone for it now, but the guy who does my hair is extremely cautious and wasn't really getting that I wanted actual bangs, not 10 strands of hair that are shorter than the rest. I still like the cut though.

Love the new 'do! You've got me thinking what to do with my hair, that i'm trying to grow out but that is currently "carpy".

I made 2 miles in 30 min - I LOVE THE COOL WEATHER and I changed some tunes up in my Ipod - I love 2 Judds songs - "I know where I'm going... do you wanna come too... I made my reservations...." I just cant walk to that song, that'n and "Rockin to the Rythm of the RAIN" They make me dance, so today when I wanted to walk, Wy started singin... so I kept on!!

You rock! Your ability to stay motivated inspires me.

Just a quick fly by post to say I lost 1.4 today I get my new bling now

Off to the pool for the afternoon, I will try to catch up later. Congrats to all our losers so far!

Wooo Hooooty on the new bling!

So I know you all love music - give me some good tunes. Not too sappy but appropriate for Mother's Day.

Thanks!

"Thank You" by Natalie Merchant always makes me think of my parents.
Lalalalalala...

You've been so kind and generous
I don't know why you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
For your selflessness--my admiration
For everything you've done
You know I'm bound--I'm bound to thank you for it

Lalalalalala... 10 times

Hey, hey
You've been so kind and generous
I don't know why you keep on giving
For your kindness I'm in debt to you
And I never could have gone this far without you
For everything you've done
You know I'm bound--I'm bound to thank you for it

Lalalalalala...

Oh I want to thank you for so many gifts
You gave me love and tenderness
I want to thank you
I want to thank you for your generosity,
The love, and the honesty that you gave to me
I want to thank you, show my gratitude,
My love and my respect for you
I want to thank you

14,000!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can I get a WOO HOOTY??!??!?!?

Wooo Hoooty!


Dene- Good job on the "no cigarettes". My favorite kids poster against smoking: "You have to be wacky, to choose tobacky!"

So I have been working on this project at a different office this week, around a bunch of burly men no less (hubbahubba - not) anyhoo one comes thru and says hey- wheres that cute little girl, ..so naturally I know that he is talking about my friend who is a cute little 45 yo woman, nevertheless...I am still the fat friend hangin out with the "cute little girl" even at 34 yo ...I am determined that soemday I will be teh cute girl and not the fat friend.

Hey Harley. I remember when I was at my old job and someone referred to me as the "little blonde". I had no idea who they were talking about, as I had just lost 70 lbs. and still didn't see myself as little. Oh, to be that weight again!

I got a foot rub tonight in the hot tub! DH is taking pity on me because of my rough week. A couple of stupid, painful health problems (apparently I'm coming apart from both ends, like a fraying rope), and the whole lockdown with the kids thing, put me in the worst mood tonight. DH was so sweet.

I am on the quest for a new swimming suit..anyone have one they love? I need support up top, but I am hoping to find one that I can detach the straps or something. I am in my sisters wedding in a few weeks and I cant have tan lines in my dress! I am OK with a 2 piece tankini style. Too many stretch marks for anything more risque than that And if it didnt cost a fortune that would be nice!

Just wanted to pop in before bed...have a good night everyone!

I shopped online at www.swimoutlet.com and got a nice tankini with a shelf bra for $20. Have you thought about a spray-on tan from a salon. I worry about skin cancer with the tanning. Personally, I just go with the white, but if I were in a wedding, I might spring for the spray-on.

Almost forgot to say the reason for this post: I lost 1.5 this week! I know many of you think that's a small amount, but it's a big deal to me for 2 reasons. It means I got new bling this week, and I got to move a big chunk over on the scales at the gym. I had to move the big piece on the scale from 150 to 100. Of course, then I had to move the little piece way over to 149, but it's still one of those hurdles I was happy to clear.

Welcome back to all of our travelling friends. Hope you had a great time and that any small weight gains disappear within the week. And a big to all of our losers.

 

[snowwite]

I cant contribute to the weight loss this week. My home scale keeps saying one thing and doctors says something else.Stupid scale.
I have been to busy this week to check in. Hope everybody has a great weekend.
Happy Mothers Day in advance to all of you mom's to be,mothers,grandmothers,stepmothers and Godmothers!!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE!!!

DANIELLE....WOO-HOOTY! Proud of you!

NONI....WOO-HOOTY ALSO! 14,000!

TOTAL LOST THIS WEEK........15.9 POUNDS!

Samers and Gainers.....be not discouraged! Next week it'll be you!

Thanks for that site! And just to clarify for everyone, I dont plan to 'lay out' and tan. Cancer scares the heck out of me. But we spend a ton of time in the pool...like almost every day, and even with a high SPF sunscreen I get tan lines. We were swimming for all of about an hour yesterday, and the pool was mostly in the shade at that hour (about 3:00) and I still came home with some tan lines. Gotta love that italian skin. I tan just thinking about the sun. I actually have some tan lines from last summer I need to try to fade still. I may end up spray tanning to do that though. I hadnt even thought of that as a way to cover up my lines!

 

[denecarter]

You were loking at his WHAT?!!!

His gluteus maximus!

How about sausage pizza with green peppers... got all the food groups if you count the sauce as a fruit (hey, tomatoes are technically a fruit!)

DUDE! (okay, I know you're not a "dude", but I like to use that word) DUDE! (see, did it again) That is EXACTLY what I was thinking the other night! One of these days, you just wait and see! We Peeps will be the hot friends!

Dance - thanks for noticing "blingcouragement"

 

[pixie dust 112]

Sorry I'm a day late. I stayed the same.

 

[winkers]

The guy is 42ish, lives with his mom, and sleeps with an oxygen mask! Thanks anyway,

Ok, what's not to drool over that picture??

 

[UtahMama]

Ugh, swimsuit season! I dont mind my top half, really. BUT, the bottom half requires a sarong stylishly and loosly tied and cute flip flops.

Have you looked at the Lands End one's? You can get different sized tops and bottoms. Even some with slimming help.


Hi ALL y'all!

Is Punkin back yet? I miss her and thought of her when I was in Disneyland.

Guys, I got the LAST Passporter in the Downtown Disneyland bookstore!!!! It's toadilly great!

I "FEEL" heavy and water retention-y!!!! UGH!!!!! I yam drinking more water to help this sitchy-ation, though.


Did I tell you I saw Disneyland Mama and we ate ate that Cafe Orleans? I ordered (and shared with DH) a deep fried Monte Cristo sandwich. The cheese one. Oh Lordy! I ate 1/4 th of it. And. It. Was. THE. Best. Thing. EVER!!!!!

It was worth the 4 pound gain! NOW, to lose said 4 pounds!!!!

 

[punkin413]

Is Punkin back yet? I miss her and thought of her when I was in Disneyland.

yep, i'm here! just in recovery mode today a/k/a being lazy! i'm starting my diet again on monday, but i just don't have the motivation to start back yet this weekend! the good news is i weighed myself today and i only gained 1 pound during the trip!!! i'm sure it's from all the walking we did. we walked around WS in 1/2 an hour!!!!!!!! more details about that to come in my TR (shameless plug!).

i'm probably not going to be around much because my sister called me on wednesday (while we were at MK) to tell me her boyfriend just booked a trip for them to WDW.......for memorial day weekend.......that's two weeks away!!!! and i have to help her plan. huh??? you're telling me i have to help you plan a disney trip in two weeks????? so yeah, i'm kinda preoccupied doing that, unpacking, uploading photos, etc.

UM - i hope you had a magical time at disneyland! i was thinking of you, too!!!
