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

[dismom9761]

Hi everyone!! I am feeling a bit lost here after being gone for a week but wanted to say hi. My son's team(we were at a week long tournament in Florida) did not do so well but it was nice to have some beach time without Rachel.I don't know if I mentioned this before I left but Rchel stayed here with DH.I was a nervous wreck at first but I actually got to sit on a beach and READ.

Welcome to all the newbies.

Eeyore,CONGRATS on finishing the 5k. I felt great after doing my first and only.

Monymony,can't wait to see the baby.And tell Zach we are so proud of him.It is a great feeling to know that your child is going in the right direction healthwise(did that make sense?).Rebekah looks like she has lost weight this summer but I haven't weighed her.

What kind of a man sends his little slip of a wife to do his complaining and then lashes out at women on a paper that won't be read until he's gone?

A jerk?

I've seen how supportive, friendly & successful everyone is on here & am hoping that I too can join in on all of the success you've had & make some great friends along the way.

Always room for more!

Hi everyone,

I hope I can join this club. I didn't really feel like reading all 1169 previous pages, but I guess everyone's welcome here?

Hello Everyone!

A newbie here who would like to join in on your weight loss support.

Hi everyone! First time poster, but long time lurker. I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's successes and love the support that goes on here. I've been finding myself slipping on my diet and wanted to join in.

Hello~ I've seen how supportive, friendly & successful everyone is on here & am hoping that I too can join in on all of the success you've had & make some great friends along the way.

Welcome to all of you!

WOOHOO !!!

3.1 mile = 5K Woman's Race DONE!! fdil stayed with me, talked me thru it - that firsst half mile I wasss sgoing to fassst and couldnt deal well!! I did it in 46 min!! (unofficially!)

You did it!!! We knew you would make it! Congratulations!

Punkin, you got a lot accomplished over the weekend - great!

We made it home from Hot Springs. The drive wasn't as bad as I thought. We stopped about 2/3 of the way to visit my grandmother in the nursing home and then drove a little further and stopped to eat and only had about two hours left. It was nice to break it up.

Time to get back with the regular routine!

Have a good week everyone!

Hello~

I have came across this thread a few times & never posted. I guess I just thought that an online group would never help me meet my weight loss goals. I've seen how supportive, friendly & successful everyone is on here & am hoping that I too can join in on all of the success you've had & make some great friends along the way.

Becky. Good job on the loss so far

Wooo Hoootie! Disney money!

 

[Marjol]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone

And if you want to see pictures of how I look (well, looked in may), just see my tripreport. The link is in my sig

I weighed myself today and was very happy with the results, but I'll wait untill friday before posting the results here

 

[pigget74]

Welcome to the newest members. You will have great support here.

I have been so busy this weekend that I crashed each night by 830. Got up early this mornign and already folded 5 loads of laundry and put most away. Headed the church to tag the backpacks with apartment numbers that were not picked up on Saturday. Then will come back home and try tog et some of my house in order--this has been a huge ordeal this week for us. Anyway I was waiting for little man to wake and he has so I need to go. Have a good one.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Welcome Marjol, If U Had Wings, becky_AK, and fellow Cheesehead TKDisneylover! We're glad to have you!

Nothing new to report here. Just trying to ease my way into the week.

BB - interesting nominees. And it is odd how I find myself suddenly rooting against Evel Dick. Two weeks ago he was my favorite player in the game. Now I can't stand him. He's just a big bully who needs to be taken down a few notches. Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[eeyore45]

I"m so tired and sore!! (and now everytime I type an s I t hink parsel tongue, but the s button isnt getting stuck - just push it down hard is working today!! )

Jodi - LOVED your Simpsons look! I did that with a photo of my DD and it was pretty fun. I thought I had e-mailed it to myself too, but apparently I messed up the address.

Welcome and wishes for weight loss success to Marjol, Tammy and Wings!

Marjol, we have a city of Holland in Michigan! My brother lives near there and I have some Dutch ancestry too.

Dene, sorry we were all post slackers this weekend!

Monica - Hope everything goes great with the delivery and you get to go to the closer hospital. I didn't know that they switched a bunch of hospitals over. The wife of a coworker got sent to Henry Ford Hospital for pancreatitis this past week. I'm guessing it is the main one.

Aries, I vote for the front design mainly because I think it will make for a better photo! I'd rather not have MY back-side in a photo, but I suppose we could figure out some camouflage if that is the consensus

Lex - Check in with a mini-TR when you get back!!!

Lynda - I've been wondering how the wedding photos gig went all weekend . . .

CHERYL - thanks for the sum. To the Newbies!!

and I was thinking that about the shirt - its why I havent voted - BIG girls and MM ears - vs good photo shot!! Lynda WWYD!!

A jerk?

Dene it is so what I was thinking Danielle, btdt with those nasty evaluations - I dont know what courage it gives a jerk to attack like that! Its almost like you wish your superior would call him out on the phone... "ring ring... God calling Mr. Jerk... Yes, well after reading your evaluation we have a few things you may have missed in the Good Book...

Always room for more!

Welcome to all of you!

The MORE the Merrier!! Stand up, Be Proud, Get your PEEP on - WWPD Has been a mind set - sometimes I'm not strong enough to resist the lure of a Fast Food Stop... and as I was heading there, I thought of all the hardworking Peeps - and wondered... WHAT WOULD PEEPS DO? Would they take the easy cheeseyburger and fries, or as a support group,l would we rally around and help make healthier choices - thus was born... WWPD!!

You did it!!! We knew you would make it! Congratulations!

Punkin, you got a lot accomplished over the weekend - great!

We made it home from Hot Springs. The drive wasn't as bad as I thought. We stopped about 2/3 of the way to visit my grandmother in the nursing home and then drove a little further and stopped to eat and only had about two hours left. It was nice to break it up.

Have a good week everyone!

WELCOME BACK!!

Becky. Good job on the loss so far



Wooo Hoootie! Disney money!

Becky - I've seen you on Kellies Dis Meet thread - Farrah has popped in here once - so I'll get on all y'all....

MONDAY's GOAL
Make a plan - PLAN TO SUCCEED!

1. 100 sit ups during the length of this day
2. 100 ounces of water (64 but its so hot and humid, I'm bumping water up!)
3. strength training
4. Check out the cost of the gym - again!!
5. Run 1 mile (I'm so sore, but I have to get out there, I sure dont want to, I'll take the lazy way out... wwpd?)

WHAT are you going to do today to ensure YOUR success?

 

[eeyore45]

I feel the "aw shucks" when I read so many of you posting your support for me!! Thank you!! I posted a Race Report on the Race/Comp Forum... but cut and paste it - I dont usually do trip reports - but I thought I'd practice with this one!!

My son's fiance (from now on refered to as fdil - ie future daughter in law) invited me to stay over her apartment in Chicago - then we'd get up at 6 and head to Montrose Harbor at 6:15 for a race begin time of 7:30...

Heading down Lake Shore Drive, there were a line of cars with the same goal in mind!! 45 min of looking for parking - score!! 7:20 we got our chips, tied them on, then headed to the start time - UH OH, my ipod was left on, so no music to gage my pace!! Maybe around 3500 women were in line - lots of info blaring at us, then the start of the Star Spangled Banner... BAM - off to do the running shuffle...

First corner, I realize my heart was beating too fast, my knee was braced with a leg wrap - compression Walgreens (last week I wrenched it, it feels like it is going to give out, and when I bend it I can feel the creaking!!) but feeling fine - I think I was going to fast - my breath was not even... so we decided to walk... till I caught my breath and then started up again... I was just not sure if I was at my pace - then noticing all the head bobbing, and the pavement curving... I felt the vertigo creeping in!! Get a grip - fdil kept up the chatter - I wanted to smack her - I knew I was holding her back - just go , go on ahead - "NO no, I want to coach you thru this" she truly was just saying inspiring things, and asking if I was breathing deep out the nose or some such comments... asking if I could make it to the 1 mile mark before we walked a bit... and I hit that first mile mark at 15:45 (15 min, that's ok, I knew I was going to fast!!)

Around 2 miles they were handing out water... fdil felt I had to grab a water - practice for Disney, get a feel for what its like to drink water.... OK fine but I'm not going to drink all of it!! This is not hard, this is just hot... no breeze - the Lake (Michigan) was now to the left of us - now bikers think they can come at me - hey I know I'm an easy target, but I'm running a race dagnabit - do I need to knock you off your bike??? (j/k but I was thinking it!!)

I passed a few - kept my stride, I think fdil was trying to push me to the last half mile - she asks me if I want to sprint... and something about getting a tattoo??? I really should pay attention - ah there is the 10 K go left - GO fdil, GO LEFT... no, she wants to stay with me... Finally she has to go her way, and I'm told just 200 feet, or yards... well I could NOT see no stinking finish line, so it may as well be 200 miles!! I cant sprint it, and now I was passed by the mother daughter duo (daughter was maybe 7 or 8 years old mind you!!)

I noticed the photographers, but they were more interested in the 10K racers, some people said slower runners to the left - then 5K'ers PLEASE MOVE TO YOUR RIGHT!! well dagnabit make up your minds! I'll stay right in the middle on the yellow line, thank you very much!!! oh, another photographer, shall I take off my cool new sunglasses?? nah better not - dont want to be to annoying!! ANd there at the finish line was a volunteer with a Monster Inc hat - too funny!! BEEP _ BEEP I'm done, it was either at 46 min and 8 sec or 48 min and 6 sec...

My legs felt like mush, my head was sweaty, my arms were shaking... and they wanted me to stop and grab the chip off my shoe!! I took the pretty carnation they were handing out, along with a bottle of water, and walked around to wait for fdil to cross - and out pops dh and dd - they made it after all!!

and now I can say... "I'm a Racer "

 

[eeyore45]

I just realized I left out a good part - fdil's roomie works in a restaurant bar in a Chicago Neighborhood - so we popped in on her - it was Venetian Night downtown - awesome boat parade - no one was in the place - she was bored - we obliged her and sat and talked to her... She made me an awesome chocolate martini - fdil had a shot of turkish coffee and it became a "cappacino martini"

Then ds called - "Just wanted to wish you and fiance luck... mom? WHERE are you??? It doesnt sound like fiance's apartment... " So I teased him, and his voice was raising... so I passed the phone to fdil... and she says "we're comparing notes on you of course" You know like "no sex till the wedding night...." Somehow this did NOT comfort ds!!

At the bar I noticed a bottle of Lemoncillo - they have that at Epcot (its embarrassing how many references to Disney I come up with during this weekend btw!!) and I know its $5 an ounce or something, but I should try it when we go back... Roomie grabbed the bottle and poured us each a snifter!

Powerful Lemon smell - flavor of lemon, in a liquer -

All thru the race fdil would ask me if I noticed anyone from my "running club" and how would I recognize them... LIME GREEN!! "why lime green"

Well, I need to move my rear in gear!!

Make it a great Day - its YOUR CHOICE!!

If you mean the orange one I also lost mine..I posted a thread asking if anyone had an extra one. I would gladly pay them for shipping if they could spare it. Sure enough someone had an extra one!!!

 

[If U Had Wings]

Many thanks to everyone for such a warm welcome. When I was in the middle of doing well with my diet last year I had been regularly posting on a different message board at ediets. Someone then posted about how awful it was that some of us where only posting about our weaknesses and it really put a damper on posting for me so I stopped. I think that the low points are just as important as the high ones. The low points are when you need the most help. My falling off plan really coinsided with not being involved with some support.

I've decided to change my weigh in day to Friday as I know I'd have trouble waiting until then to post after weighing in on Sundays. I'm shooting for a lb and a half this week since it will be a short week for me. I also want to try to give myself a goal for each day. Today the goal is to get some exercise in. Exercise is terribly hard for me. I have a long commute and usually want to just crash on the sofa when I get home. Any time but summer I usually have a yoga class on Monday nights so the goal for the day is to do a yoga tape at home. I was going to try for a bike ride or walk as well, but they are calling for thunderstorms - so not a good idea.

Eeyore - Congratulations on the race. I have so much respect for people who can do that. I know I would never make it. I'd be keeled over gasping for air weezing in no time. My asthma would kill me!

 

[dance2874]

I have an apt. this Thursday


Wish me luck.

Keep us posted! I cant believe it is almost time for your baby to arrive!!

Hi everyone,

I hope I can join this club. I didn't really feel like reading all 1169 previous pages, but I guess everyone's welcome here?

WELCOME!!!

3.1 mile = 5K Woman's Race DONE!! fdil stayed with me, talked me thru it - that firsst half mile I wasss sgoing to fassst and couldnt deal well!! I did it in 46 min!! (unofficially!)

Great job! Someday I will be able to do something like that. I have never been a runner, ever. Maybe after I get the girls 'adjusted' I can run....we'll see.

ok peeps the time is creeping up to Peep Meet

are we all set for me ordering the shirts and final with ressies info... I would like to order the shirts by tues.

I think we are all set. One way or another I will be there....just not sure how many days exactly. I vote for #1, but whoever said the second one would be better for pictures has a point. I guess put my vote at #1 if it is close. Otherwise I am pretty open to either of them. My belly will be pretty big by then, so I may not even notice the "mickey twins"

I have it but DD LOVES it. Anyone know of a way to copy it? I would be happy to do it for you if somebody knows how.

 

[dance2874]

Had a very long weekend around here. Spent 99% of yesterday in bed, thank goodness Dh was home all day. Got dizzy and sick everytime I got up. ICKY. Today I am queazy but not sick... yet. Anyone have any tips? I have tried eating before sitting up in bed, tried making sure I eat often. Even tried those preggie pop lollipops last time with no relief. How about ginger ale? Maybe I need to try that. For some reason the shower sets me off, and brushing my teeth. If I dont find a solution soon, I am gonna be pretty stinky

I found my pregnancy journal from when I had DD, and it was neat to look back and compare some notes. I am 15 pounds lighter this time. For some reason I thought I was almost exactly the same weight starting out with her as I was with this one. So that was sort of nice to see. I also started getting sick at exactly the same time and it let up at about 14 weeks and then came back. So, I will at least get a break soon if this decides to follow that pattern.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!!

Hi everyone! First time poster, but long time lurker. I've really enjoyed reading about everyone's successes and love the support that goes on here. I've been finding myself slipping on my diet and wanted to join in.

Welcome!!! Great job on the loss... I so understand, my last 2-3 years have been a weight loss rollercoaster.

I had a welcome to Becky_AK quoted but it seems to have gotten lost... WELCOME!!

punkin, that is an awesome weekend's worth of work!

I feel the "aw shucks" when I read so many of you posting your support for me!! Thank you!! I posted a Race Report on the Race/Comp Forum... but cut and paste it - I dont usually do trip reports - but I thought I'd practice with this one!!

My son's fiance (from now on refered to as fdil - ie future daughter in law) invited me to stay over her apartment in Chicago - then we'd get up at 6 and head to Montrose Harbor at 6:15 for a race begin time of 7:30...

...

and now I can say... "I'm a Racer "

You kick BUTT!!! I am SOOOO proud of you. Also, you ran right past my old apartment, at Lake Shore and Irving Park. If it had been 8 years ago I could have come and cheered you on!

MONDAY's GOAL
Make a plan - PLAN TO SUCCEED!

1. 100 sit ups during the length of this day
2. 100 ounces of water (64 but its so hot and humid, I'm bumping water up!)
3. strength training
4. Check out the cost of the gym - again!!
5. Run 1 mile (I'm so sore, but I have to get out there, I sure dont want to, I'll take the lazy way out... wwpd?)

WHAT are you going to do today to ensure YOUR success?

I had all my lunch and breakfast food packed in my "bucket"... currently drinking my 1st 32 oz bottle of water, and ate my 130 calorie apple jacks bfast. Lunchtime will be 45 min on the elliptical and probably some weight training if I have time, as well as 100 crunches on the mean bad ball.

My goal for this week is to get new bling on Friday. 1 lb to go!

Hope everyone has a great and skinny day!

 

[the Fidge]

Dance - heres the giggle DH loves the guy Dave who lays around and does the grown up activites and DS loves the teenager thrillseeker!

This years dvd did not go over well at all!

Its the happiest celebration dvd I think it got misplaced from being sued so much!

I contacted Disney and they said there was no way to get a hold of it.

I will gladly pay whatever expenses are needed to obtain one from anyone.

HEres keeping my fingers crossed!

 

[TKDisneylover]

I would like to say thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone for your warm welcomes! And to the fellow newbies, welcome also! I think we will all be a great support for each other!

I just watched BB...no spoilers...but I'm confused about the nominees. Well one of them anyway. I definitely know who I want going home though.

BB - interesting nominees. And it is odd how I find myself suddenly rooting against Evel Dick. Two weeks ago he was my favorite player in the game. Now I can't stand him. He's just a big bully who needs to be taken down a few notches. Hope everyone has a great week!

I'm glad to see there are other BB fans here, as I am. I too was voting for Evil Dick but he sure has been Evil, especially with Amber and the whole child/pet thing?! Let's hope his daughter can help him see his "evil ways".

TKD. You are lovely. thank you for sharing your picture. But where's the bikini shot? We all did one!

You are so sweet, thanks for the compliment. I can tell you that I am a very positive thinker, however you will never catch me in a bikini!

ANd there at the finish line was a volunteer with a Monster Inc hat - too funny!! BEEP _ BEEP I'm done, it was either at 46 min and 8 sec or 48 min and 6 sec..."

Congratulations on your accomplishments! I have a couple friends who recently completed the Danskin Triathalon in Milwaukee a few weeks back. That is definitely something I hope to achieve someday.

Just a quick update.....I was hoping to get back on my treadmill, unfortunately my back is still giving me some problems. I'm worried it may be a bulging disc. So I thought I had better take it easy for a while, taking a week off from chiropractics, (plus aunt flo arrived and could be making me feel more discomfort than I should be, UGH!), and then switching from Advil to Aleve (has Naproxen) which I was taking in high doses when I herniated my L4/L5 disk. Wish me luck peeps!

Ok, I'm spoiling it...I'm gonna say who the nominees are...





Jen and Kail! Honestly I do not like Kail at all. Something about her rubs me the wrong way and I hope she goes home this week. Jen is annoying but at least she is semi-entertaining in the house. I doubt she would make it all the way to the end. Evel Dick never really bothered me. Yes he was a little blunt but he wasn't stabbing anyone in the back and nobody was surprised by what he did or said, but last night when he was going on and on to Amber, I sort of got annoyed with him. So the jury is still out with my feelings about him. Speaking of Amber though, I was a little late getting into the room to watch BB last night and from down the hall I could hear Amber's whining cry about how happy she was that Dustin got HoH. Good Grief. Stop crying already!

Hope everyone has a good Monday!
