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

[UtahMama]

We'd NEVER kid about the bathing suit pictures! We ALL did it! Didn't you go back through the 4 million pages of this thread and find them? I'm SURE they are there somewhere...

I'm SURE I saw one of you Dene!
Maybe you should repost it?

I love how Evel Dick told her off, but I'm afraid that might have sealed his fate. I don't know how many people like him, so he might go bye-bye next week. Which is unfortunate, because the house needs someone like him to try and keep people in line.

i know.....i loved it when he told her what he thought of her! i just wish he wouldn't have done it so harshley.....i do believe he sealed his fate.

eeyore - thanks for posting the BB stuff! i also had heard that nick liked boys too and that jen was a chilltown prodigy. although, i don't see what chilltown strategy she's using? she's just so dumb and self-absorbed that everyone's already sick of her. i know that everyone kept will around (the first time) because they knew they'd beat him and that's how he won. but she just seems annoying and stupid! the preggers things is a new one to me!

I actually think 140-150 might be good for me... 127 was my all time low (during HS, got to 132 in college). That seems a bit "thin".

127 is definitely too thin if you're 5'7" IMO. i'm 5'3" and my goal weight is 130. and also, it would be very difficult to maintain that weight. i would shoot for something that would be more healthy and realistic for you so it's a little easier to maintain, like 150 or 160.

I am so excited for Disney I can't sleep already and I have to wait until this whole week goes by

one word: melatonin. it's the only way i got any sleep before our vacation because i was so excited! you can get it in the vitamin section. it's not expensive. and it doesn't leave you feeling all groggy the next day.

Hi!

I am new to the the board, and came across this thread, and was wondering if you guys mind if I joined you in your quest for weight loss.

WELCOME!!!!!! there's always room for more! you'll love it here.....lots of support and tips and laughs!

Oh, and what is this about a bathing suit picture? You have got to be kidding?? People actually allow themselves to be photographed this way?

okay....seriously.....go take a picture of yourself in a bathing suit right now and save it in the deep, dark places of your computer where no one will see it but you! you don't have to post it here. but it will help you to measure how much weight you've lost. i didn't want to do it, either, but my best friend (who's also a fitness trainer) made me and i'm glad she did. i'm 6 pounds away from my goal and i decided to take "in between" pics last week and i was very happy with what i saw. i knew that i had gone down a few sizes, but i had no idea it would show so much in a bathing suit. you'll be glad you did it when you reach your goal!!!!

Hi!

I am new to the the board, and came across this thread, and was wondering if you guys mind if I joined you in your quest for weight loss.
My name is Jennifer, and I am a SAHM - previous social worker, and married of 13yrs (in Dec) to a wonderful man that has been in the military for the past 16 yrs. He flies medevac helicopters for the Army. We have 3 beautiful children Parker 7, who we adopted from the Ukraine at age 2, Ethan 4 and the child that we were told we would never have biologically, and Sarabeth turns 2 on Tues (bio also).

My Weight Story:
After High School (during college) I started to struggle with my weight big time. I gained about 150 lbs during those 4 yrs of college. I was married in my 4th yr and after about 5 yrs of marriage and yo yo weight issues, I was finally diagnosed with PCOS. Which causes weight gain and infertility (and other hormonal side effects) Anyway, We did all the fertility treatments, you name it, I did it - no luck. After the adoption of our Parker - I found out I was 3 months pregnant - possibly due to about a 15% weight loss while in the Ukraine (lots of walking and living on the 10th floor of a building with NO ELEVATOR for almost 2 months- we are sooo lucky here in the U.S.) Well, after the birth of my son, I weighed a whopping 264 lbs at 5'2" and that was not my highest weight. The next year or so I lost around 130lbs. To weigh in at 132 lbs. and got pregnant with our daughter. At that time I was walking 5 miles a day, NO SODA, no refined sugar at all, no starches, I was at 80 grams of protein a day and no more that 20 grams of carbs per day. I drank 8 glasses of water a day, and I did allow myself to use Splenda. I also did not eat fruit due to conversion of sugar in my PCOS body (I do not use glucose properly, therefore sugar just runs wild in my body).

Anyway, due to pregnancy, I had to add some of these foods back into my body, especially carbs. My daughter was born at 30 1/2 weeks and we were due to move from Alabama to Alaska in 4 weeks. I was stressed but ok. Then the army says ..... there is NO WAY you are going to Alaska with a preemie....so they reroute us to Ft Campbell, KY.....where guess what.....he deployed almost immediately to Iraq...... So, here I was with 3 small children, one on a heart monitor. I could not walk with her, due to her loss of body heat when taken out.... and she could not ride in a jogger. Anyway needless to say I gained 30 lbs while he was away that yr. THAT I am trying to get off for DISNEY.....well at least 15 for Disney in Sept.(10 more to go by them and the rest by Christmas. DH is set to deploy again right after Christmas, but I am in a much better place this time around, and will be having a tummy tuck and girly lift, while he is gone....YEAH!!!!

Well, thanks for listening and your support... can't wait to share and enjoy this board!!!!

Good Luck to all of you!!!!

Welcome!!

Look at me staying out of the peeop comment pit of dispare... I have totally kept up today!

Okay so I have a little financial situation that I wanted to share, or get input on. My DBF is currently in college still (and hating it- will probably leave and join the workforce before the end of the year) and he has to take student loans to cover his tuition and rent. Now, for summer classes he took two classes consecutively, one May 25-June 25 and the second July 2-July 30 or something similar. Now he went to all that trouble (if you remember my last rant) when they switched the dates of his second class so that he would be missing some for WDW and still be able to get all his work. Now, even though he was supposed to get his loan check from the school the week between June 25 and July 2... he STILL hasn't seen a dime! On top of that the lady who authorizes everything is away for the week! And he has waited until the last possible second to pay rent but he HAS to pay it before we leave. I talked to my dad about borrowing money ($600) and he was reluctant, but hes my dad so I know he'll help. Is it totally screwed up to ask for money the week before you go away? Or does the extenuating circumstances not make us look like poor slobs who shouldnt be going to WDW? We did not forsee his tightness in the bank.. but I blame him for not seeing this earlier as I helped pay his rent last month (my dad doesn't know this) so I feel like he should have gotten more hours at work or something just in case after it happened once already. He is just so stressed out and I know he will pay my dad back the minute he gets the money. Its just such a sucky situation! What do you think?

As long as you make good on paying him back ASAP then I see nothing wrong with it.

OK, getting a feeling this board was a BAD idea.... how do you guys accomplish anything?? As if my DIS addiction wasn't bad enough... if I start to overdose someone tell me to get off and workout. STAT!

We'd NEVER kid about the bathing suit pictures! We ALL did it! Didn't you go back through the 4 million pages of this thread and find them? I'm SURE they are there somewhere...

I SO don't believe you.
[I only read the last 400 pages so i could get a better sense of the PEEPS : It's my story and I am sticking to it. ]

one word: melatonin. it's the only way i got any sleep before our vacation because i was so excited! you can get it in the vitamin section. it's not expensive. and it doesn't leave you feeling all groggy the next day.

Ok, obviously I have too much mela... whatever. Hey isn't that what is in your skin that makes you tan or something? Maybe I am making stuff up again... Anyway, so is there like an anti-melatonin? I think I need that.

Afternoon Peeps!

Welcome Jennifer/PilotWife!!!!

I survived the dentist. Once again I lucked out BIG TIME! I seriously thought I needed a lot of work done (possible root canals, etc.) Turns out I just lost a filling so I'm getting it replaced in 2 weeks. He was super duper kind to me, explained the whole thing. And on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most complex, mine is a 1. He said it's what dental students start with, thats how quick and easy it is. He said to just bring in my iPod, crank it up and I'll be in and out in no time. I feel so much better about it now that I went. Like a huge weight has been lifted off me. And so grateful that I don't need more serious work done. Lucky me!

I did see A. today. He was working at camp today for part of the morning and afternoon since our pregnant clinician was put on bed rest. I didn't know this so I was a little bit surprised to see him in there. But he kept it business as usual. I did not have time to worry about it though because watching those kiddos is hard work. I did give (and receive) a couple smiles. But nothing earth shattering. We discussed this so I'm not reading into it. We don't want everyone to know so we're keeping it on the DL. Fine by me. I don't want to be gossiped about anymore than he does. I do hope he asks me out again though. I really like him.

I hope everyone's Monday was great! I'm off to eat dinner and catch up on a ton of work!

Ok, obviously I have too much mela... whatever. Hey isn't that what is in your skin that makes you tan or something? Maybe I am making stuff up again... Anyway, so is there like an anti-melatonin? I think I need that.

i think you're thinking about a melanoma, which is maybe the cause of skin cancer or something like that??? not sure though.

i think the anti-melatonin would be caffeine!!!

Hey Dene --

I don't know how tall you are, but at 5'10'' and 127 lbs your BMI would be 18.2 which is considered underweight. The prevention site also has a BMI calculator (www.prevention.com/bmicalculator) which can help determine what a "good" weight will be. My goal is to be at the very upper end of "normal," since I figure there will be excess skin (TMI, I know) which will carry weight too... Also, I figure that the ultimate goal can always be adjusted downwards when I get there....

Congrats anyway, I don't think I ever posted after you shared your before and in progress photos. You look amazing and are an absolute inspiration!

Okay.. talk about horrifing... I am can't believe what my BMI is. I am in shock.
I've been feeling like I've been making progress, but now not so sure after looking at this.

You ARE making progress!!The numbers will go down,just give it time.

Harley gave Rachel a Snow White dress for her bday but when we tried it on she screamed to get it off.Today she walks in and says she needs to try on her dress so she can wear it to eat with the princesses.I never thought she would keep it on but she did for about an hour.

Super cute pic Amy!!

so cute! she even sort of has snow white's hairstyle! now all you need is a little red bow.

DARN! I had transferred it to my cell phone... that got stolen about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Drats! I guess I can't repost.

okay....seriously.....go take a picture of yourself in a bathing suit right now and save it in the deep, dark places of your computer where no one will see it but you!

I didn't think one of me existed... recently, my mom got some old water-proof disposable cameras developed that we had used at Typhoon Lagoon a couple of years ago. Once I reach goal, I might put THAT on the outside of my fridge as a reminder of where I don't want to go again...

I SO don't believe you.

Some days a girl feels like being a princess... some days she doesn't.

 

[eeyore45]

hey peeps

to Pilotwife!

Welcome pilotwife!!

Yup, dene, I am sort of a jock. I have more pics at different weights that I can post later, or email them privately if people here don't want to see them.

Now, I am about to switch machines, so I will likely be offline until tonight (unless I can remember my DIS password!). Have a great and skinny day!

Welcome Pilots Wife- First off let me say a heartfelt Thanks and God Bless you for your Hubby's service and for your sacrifices made at home...you are true heros....

Now despite what these others will tell you you will need to post that bathing suit pic...we've all done it

Thanks for joining we need some fresh meat around here!

UM so i need to clarify I did not weigh in Friday - I have stayed the same for quite some time now, but I have really beefed up the numbers ont he weights and my body is changing...so i dunno if i will ever hit the 160's but i feel loads better than i have felt in a long time, i might try to get strict one more time with south beach (i think thats gonna be the only thing that will work with me) then i will accept this body and love it the way it is...even if its a little larger than i would like. i can move better, my clothes fit better. i can exercise and i feel strong. thats really what i want to concentrate on right now. but i guess for posterity (or posterior) sake i could post my scale numbers (that lying beach)

Wonders! OMG I can't wait for hte second date!

okay peeps i am stealth posting at workso i'll checkin with the latest hottie report from the gym...UTAHMAMA!!!! OMG Ranger works out at my gym i may have to sneak a camera in and snag a mug of him and see if you agree!

OK, so I'm on vacation!! Do know I'm thinkin of y'all - hence all the quotes, imagine really, really insightful responses...\

I also went over to photobucket to post a pic of me and my swimsuit... remember I said I was going out on the jet ski (why oh why cant this be an exercise???!!) Well

Here I am on the jet ski!! (I love this thing, its like a motorcycle, but if I fall off, I'm in water!! - remember my new nephew, did 2 tours of duty, has 2 purple hearts etc... but got mowed down when a car cut him off on his motorcycle.... God be with him, showing him God's plan... Hear my prayer...)

Hi!

I am new to the the board, and came across this thread, and was wondering if you guys mind if I joined you in your quest for weight loss.
My name is Jennifer, and I am a SAHM - previous social worker, and married of 13yrs (in Dec) to a wonderful man that has been in the military for the past 16 yrs. He flies medevac helicopters for the Army. We have 3 beautiful children Parker 7, who we adopted from the Ukraine at age 2, Ethan 4 and the child that we were told we would never have biologically, and Sarabeth turns 2 on Tues (bio also).

After High School (during college) I started to struggle with my weight big time. I gained about 150 lbs during those 4 yrs of college.
