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

[eeyore45]

BIG BROTHER - having a problem with a banner plane that says:

apparently, there's a banner plane circling the house.... from hamstertime, this is the message:

We *heart* Nick. Amber & Eric are liars - the LNC is the Nerd Herd.

They may have stopped the game until the plane leaves...

great now the a and the L do not work!

anyway, wanted the Peeps to now (wht no _bcdefghij_) I give up!

 

[punkin413]

I won't be posting my weight tomorrow for 2 reasons: 1) I still haven't taken off all the weight from my DL trip in July, and 2) I'm getting on the plane tomorrow morning to join DH and go back to DL Did I say we haven't been without the kids since they were born? Maybe we'll buy the bride and groom Mickey ears and pretend to be newlyweds! (I wanted to buy one for DD when she made her First Communion, but my mom said it was inappropriate. Like God and Walt aren't like this [crosses fingers].) Well I have a big list of things to do, so I better get off of here. Happy weigh-in!

HAVE FUN!!!!!!

So do you only drink one cup of coffee, and then water the rest of the day? That sounds soooo difficult. But I will try! Thanks for the tips.

yep, that's what i do. when i get sick of water i use those crystal light packs with bottled water or i buy the dasani flavored water. but i do allow myself one cheat day a week and i usually have some margaritas on that day!

Does anyone know a good website to look up nutrition info?

UM already said this, but calorieking.com is a good one.

you know what's sad? i'm starting to actually like jessica! she's actually the least annoying out of all those people to me........ well, except for jameka. jameka doesn't bother me, either....yet. but i don't like any of the others! what a disappointing cast this year.

 

[eeyore45]

4 women hanging on!!

(that would be BIG BROTHER!!)

 

[SwansLoveDisney]

Try Calorie King...it's very good!

Thanks so much! I checked out that site and it's great.

Now I have no excuse! Well, I can probably think of a couple excuses...

 

[HockeyKat]

wow......you guys were chatty today! i go to court and come home to 5 pages.... had a horrible juvenile hearing today and have to go back tomorrow because we didn't finish. i hate days like this! there were so many things wrong with this situation that i wouldn't even know where to begin.

congrats on the loss and the pants!!!! and i'm sure you look very cute and your co-workers just don't have any taste! either that or they're a bunch of computer dorks...oh yeah......you've already said that!

i find that writing down what i eat helps me to control what goes into my mouth because i know i have to hold myself accountable for it. and the minute i cut out all sodas and tea and just drank water all day was when i started losing weight....so that should help you, too! i do allow myself one cup of coffee (with splenda) in the morning.

i see lynda already mentioned this, but i was gonna mention about the starvation mode, too. are you eating enough? if not, your body is probably hanging on to whatever you give it. the formula that worked for me was my goal weight (130) times 12 equals the amount of calories i should have per day. i'm sure it will start falling off if you stick to your guns!

Awww sorry about your day... mine was a doozy too, was there from 9:30-9, the last 5 hours trying to fix something broken. Thank the lord for good bosses (he stayed with me to make sure I had everything I needed), and for hot tubs and wine!

Thanks for the encouragement! I asked the receptionist, who is a bit more trendy, and she said it looked great (and she wouldn't lie).

I stick to 1200 calories. The goal weight times 12 for me doesn't really work. I do try to eat at least 1100-1200 though, for the starvation mode factor. And I do choke down 64-96 oz of water. I get 1 cup of coffee in the AM and one diet soda at lunch, and maybe 1 diet caffeine free soda in the evening.

Does anyone know a good website to look up nutrition info?

I like sparkpeople.com, and I track my food, exercise, etc. there. I find it really helps keep me accountable.

Hope everyone had a great and skinny day, and that lbs are being lost in our sleep tonight!!

Well I am back from date #2.

Let's start at the beginning, shall we?

He called and said to meet at this Cuban Restaurant at 8:30. Fine by me. We meet. We sit down. We talk. Lots of flirting. Lots of nice conversation. Going really well. Food was good too although I didn't have much of an appetite. I tried to force more down though because I didn't want him to think I'm the kind of girl who doesn't eat on dates. (which clearly I don't look like that girl but anyway).

He asks if I'd like to get some ice cream for dessert. Sure. Sounds good. We both take our leftovers and head to his car so he can put his away. And because he has pictures to show me. We then sit in his car and he proceeds to show me about 20 pictures of his family, his house (ummm, can we say mansion?), and pics from his brother's wedding. Pictures he apparently deliberately brought to show me.

Then we walk through the shopping center area and head to TCBY. It was closed. At 10pm? I thought that was strange, but I was ok with it because I really was full and didn't want to have to fake eat ice cream. So we walked back to my car so I could put my food away and we thought out loud about where we could go for some coffee. While we were standing there, he thought it was a good time to grab me a give me a little smooch. Very nice.

We decide that we'll just sit in the car for a bit and talk (and maybe kiss a little ). So we're talking about the coming weeks and he gets kind of quiet and says that he can't get serious right now. 1) he just ended something serious (which I think was in january or february) and 2) school takes a lot of his time. Both valid points.

Can you say bummed?

So we just continued to talk (while he was all romantic and holding my hand, stroking my cheek - ) and I just said that I would like us to be friends and that dating occasionally is ok. And that he just needs to be straightforward with me i.e. don't lead me on. And I pointed out that I won't be around that much once I start my internship so it might take a little more effort for us to see each other. Which he wants to apparently..."just not seriously".

Can I just say that I have been fighting tears the whole drive home and one might have escaped? This is so my luck. I swear I have the worst timing ever.

Then as he is kissing me good bye, he tells me that we can get together and study next week for our class. Oh and he still would like to go to Epcot with me some weekend.

Who does he think he is? Hannah Montana, getting "the best of both worlds"? (Sorry, I've been watching it a lot lately and talking about it with a girl at school)

So that was my date. Sorry so long. I'll be trying to talk about him less because, well, it's not like its going anywhere. It might be a good thing that after next week, I'll only be seeing him once a week. He'll either start thinking differently or I will get over him.

Off to watch BB...my mom DVRed it for me. Nighty-night peeps

 

[denecarter]

Well I am back from date #2.

 

[the Fidge]

Good Morning Peepers, well I am on here instead of snakcing! I added calorie king to my favoirtes thanks UM.

God bless you ladies dating, I am very fortuante that I am not in that place in this time of my life. I do recall though on several blind dates asking to return home so I could go soak in the tub and enjoy more stimulating company of my cats!

Sadly I must say I found the cats more interesting! I did meet my husband on a blind date. My firend kept saying hes perfect for you and after 6 months and losing a bet to her I consented! Thats my lovely DH.

I decided I would finally figure out how to upoda the picutres from my trip in April ! I know very quick on things ain't I?? Well its a real eye opener for me. Sadly that was after losing 20 lbs too! ACK!

SO I am fiddling with manuals tonight and other techno stuff I keep putting off!

So I am challneing myslef to lost 10 lbs for the month of August and 1800 minutes of exercise.

I wnat a new me for April 2008! My goal to look nice in a bathing suit!

 

[MJMouse]

-3 this week!

Happy weigh day all! After being a samer last week, I was happy to see the numbers today. I am now 2 lbs from a major goal (not the final goal mind you, but a significant one none the less). I haven't decided what I'm going to do as a reward. I'm thinking a nice chair massage at the local spa?? Any other ideas for good (non-food related) rewards?

to all the newbies! My philosophy: Post often. Read often. Lose often. -- The peeps keep me on track (and spare my family and friends from listening to my dieting mumbo jumbo)!!

$10 for one key??? WOWZER!! DD decided to take off the key (laptop!) and now it wont go back on!! This laptop is on its last leg!!! Hey look at that the "S" works so much better w/o the button on top!!

Oh, if only I could have a complete thought when I write... (Note to self: other people can not read my mind.) Sorry about that -- actually I really meant $10 for a new basic keyboard . (You can plug one into your laptop too -- kind of defeats the purpose of a laptop, but the lack of frustration could be worth the hassle).

Well I am back from date #2.

Let's start at the beginning, shall we?

Who does he think he is? Hannah Montana, getting "the best of both worlds"? (Sorry, I've been watching it a lot lately and talking about it with a girl at school)

Wonders -- I'd love to shake some sense into that boy for you!

Congrats to the samers and losers!

 

[pigget74]

It's HOT HOT HOT over here this week. Mid 90's and very little rain. That is a perfect mix for a hormonal pregnant woman. Woooo Hooo!


Ok, went to the Dr. today. Nothing will change. I am still on schedule to have the baby on August 13th.

Hope everyone is on track and doing well and getting way skinny. I have some major catching up to do weight loss wise. I hope a lot of this is water retention cause I don't feel like I'm eating too much. I can't with all this heart burn.

My boys were bald and my girls are loaded with hair.

It is very hot here. I have never been this miserable--well maybe after katrina when I was 9 mths and no power. I am glad that all is going well. The 13th is not that far away. I go back the 9th and then start my 2 week appt. Hopefully I will find out some information on when we can have this lilttle girl. All of my kids have had hair--Joshua the least amount and Katie the most. \\\

Hope that everyone has a great day--off to wrok for registration--not that my parents of students ever come--maybe today will be different.


WONDERS----

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

Woke up late! TGIF!!!

Tara....Glad the appt. went well! Isn't it great to hear the heartbeat!

Shannon.... Your man sounds conflicted.....like he knows he shouldn't get serious but he really wants to. Anyway.......

Monica!......10 more days!!! I'm so excited for ya!

brave newbies who finally came out of the lurker closet! Please post often and keep posting so we can get to know you! Please!

Danielle....post your loss anyway! I counted the weight I lost a Christmas twice! Every pound lost is a celebration! Even if you've lost it before!

Fidgitte.....Awesome on the Golden Girls class! I find that those golden girls are often in pretty good shape...better than me!

Have a great Friday!

 

[Wonders10]

Good morning everyone! Yep, it's the first day in about 6 weeks (other than weekends, but even then I don't sleep all day) that I could stay in bed as long as I want...and I'm up and wide awake at 8:00. Even Phoebe is shooting me dirty looks for being up. Just couldn't sleep anymore.

Shannon.... Your man sounds conflicted.....like he knows he shouldn't get serious but he really wants to. Anyway.......

Have a great Friday!

Yes! This is exactly it! I really hope you're right because somehow that makes it a lot easier to deal with. The whole bringing family/home pics really made the whole evening a little confusing for me. But I am feeling better this morning. Just take it slow. (And just for the record...he in no way implied, nor did I, that this would become a friends with benefits sort of thing ).

I'm up about a .5 lb. But I had black beans and rice last night at dinner so I'm feeling a little bloaty. Not changing my ticker though. I've weighed myself everyday this week and gotten different numbers .

Have a great Friday everyone!

 

[Eventer98]

Well I am back from date #2.

I'm sorry to hear this Shannon..been on dates where they think it's ok to still kiss and hold hands but not get serious. And Jan or Feb? Please. That's long enough. It does sound like he wants the best of both worlds and I hope you tread carefully there..I don't want you to get hurt!! It would be tough to not read into any little thing he said or did, hoping he changed his mind and wants to take the next step. If he wants to study what about somewhere public so you won't be tempted to get close??

 

[denecarter]

So I am challneing myslef to lost 10 lbs for the month of August and 1800 minutes of exercise.

It is great to do those challenges... helps keep the focus! You go girl!

 

[eeyore45]

Shannon Your date sounds sweet - but there seems to be a few red flags! Dont forget Dene's dte - good thing - I was picturing another nakkid date story!!



SSAAME here

I am having a hard time thin_ing of words w/o a s ___ nd ____ (some come after smashing down - A nd S for instnce!)

Going to hve to beg DH to he_p with this ssituaation!!

PSS - BIG BROTHER - HG did see the bnner - nd D/Danie deb_te what it means - aarrrggg - WISH they coud jussst p_ay their gme! I'm bored with them outt here

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

Lost 1 pound this week. That brings me to a grand total of 32.8 pounds lost since the start of the year; an uber-grand total of 56.8 pounds lost since April 2005; and I am now 28.2 pounds from my goal weight of 155.

Good luck to all this week! I hope to see some great numbers today!

So look around online, andsee if you can find what 23.4 is for your height. I feel for the guys though (like you Aaron). those BMIs for men seem kinda scrawny.

Well actually, for my height (5'8"), that would put me right around the 155 range that I've set as my ultimate goal. Now as I said yesterday, if I get stuck at 160 and can't budge from there, I'm not going to worry since 160 is a whole lot better than the 240 I was at when I started.

Well I am back from date #2.

Maybe it is just because I like to think that people do things with the absolute best intentions (yep, I'm a bit naive in that way), but I tend to agree with lexmelinda on this one. It really does sound like a situation where he really likes you, but he just isn't ready for a serious relationship yet. That'll happen when you've got a lot of other stuff going on in your life.

BB - I'm so happy with who got the boot this week!!! That person turned out to be a real slime ball, so it is no real loss.

 

[If U Had Wings]

I'm feeling a bit depressed this morning as I got on the scale to weigh in and found that my weight was up 3.5 lbs since I last weighed in on Monday! I know I wasn't perfect this week, but I can't imagine what I could have eaten that would have made me put so much weight on so fast. Ugh! It really affected my mood and now I just want to go home and hop into bed again! I'll definitely be taking a walk on my lunch hour today. I'm going to try to take a look at the scale on Monday again and hope it's looking better then.

 

[dance2874]

Happy weigh in day everyone! Hope to see some great numbers today!

Who does he think he is? Hannah Montana, getting "the best of both worlds"? (Sorry, I've been watching it a lot lately and talking about it with a girl at school)

So that was my date. Sorry so long. I'll be trying to talk about him less because, well, it's not like its going anywhere. It might be a good thing that after next week, I'll only be seeing him once a week. He'll either start thinking differently or I will get over him.

Off to watch BB...my mom DVRed it for me. Nighty-night peeps

Hannah Montana!

Call me a hopeless romantic or perpetual optimist....but I agree with Melinda too. I think he really likes you and would like more but doesnt want to lead you on. Very good intentions, but not fun to hear. I would say take it as it comes. See each other, date casually and have fun...but dont close your options to new people either. He may decide when he doesnt see you all the time at school that he misses you! You never know. Dont give up completely He sounds like he is trying to be a real decent guy by being honest with you, and that is VERY hard to find.

 

[the Fidge]

UP 2- I knew this was coming and its ok because actaully it would have been more! EEEKKK!

So reffirming my commitment today for a new week with a new outlook and new goals!

Congrats all you loser and samers and gainers! Half the battle is the change in thinking and changing what I do for today!

 

[Wonders10]

Ok I'm ready to talk BB. Must have distractions. (Contains spoilers if you haven't watch Thursday's episode)

Amber: Good grief, what the &%#%^ is wrong with her? If I was HOH, I'd nominate her just because she's annoying. Yeah right, with N. gone she is gonna cry less? Ok. Keep telling yourself that.

Nick: Wow did we see a different side of him this week or what? Or at least I think so. I originally wanted Kail gone. But I am definitely not sad to see this guy leave. I have a feeling he would have done some serious back stabbing later on.

ED: Wow, are we 12? Pouring drinks on people because we don't like them? He's now starting to get on my nerves.

Jen: Don't like her. Don't hate her either. I did feel bad for her a little though when everyone (ED, Nick, Danielle) was ganging up on her. Seemed a little overkill to me.

Jameka: God is speaking to her in the house? And telling her who to give the Veto to? And then, last night she says that God put her in the house to win the money? Sorry have your beliefs but hers seem a little contradictory to me.

Everyone else: I don't have any strong opinions on the rest of them as of yet. Give me time though .
