DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[KatInHat]

I'm down 1 big ole pound.

Congrats to everyone for a job well done this week. !!!

We are going to spend the weekend at my inlaws house. This house is the mecca of junk food and temptation. Not to mention theres not much to do which usually leads to zombie eating.

I think this time is different. I am determined to reach my goals and have the best cheerleaders ever. So when my DMIL says to me, "have a piece of cake,candy,bowl of ice cream (fill in the junk food of your choice)" I will think WWPD over and over. I will also wear my tight jeans (every pair I own) so when I am tempted to eat the poison I will think about my lack of oxygen and resist. When I get bored and tempted to eat from boredom I will take a walk, play ball with the kids, go for a bike ride etc... Thanks for listening. I just needed to get my strategy planned out because this weekend will be a big challenge.

Twinkie: I hope your DS gets well soon.

I have been lurking for awhile but finally decided to jump on in. I started Wednesday with the water drinking-72 oz a day . But I am feeling like a water retaining seacow . Even my fat pants are tight Not giving you my numbers today because I am up in weight but am hoping for a loss for next week


Good work to all who have lost weight!!

Happy Birthday Valentine!!

Well Harleygirl and I weighed in this morning and we are both down 2 lbs.

to jeriber and kay1!Hope I didn't miss anyone,this thread can go soo fast.

UM,what Harleygirl means with her numbers is minutes of exercise.The first number is her minutes that she has exercised.The second number is her goal of minutes to exercise.

Gotta go bus is here.I will check in later....

Back, decided to scrub some of the dirty spots on the rug - build upper arm muscles!! lol

oh, hint to help rid yourself of that annoying water retention - LEMONS - add some (preferably fresh) lemon juice to 8 oz of water (I want to say 2T) and believe it or not, warm to hot water is better - dont know why, but it works!!

also someone above posted cayenne pepper also helps - add it to tomato juice - I think 1/4 to 1/2 tsp is all you need a day to help ! It gives my acid reflux a workout, so I dont do this - I do tomato juice tho because I need the veggies in my diet!!

Take care!

Dr Phil - obese women - 500# and 700+ woman - the first woman he just said cut out the 13 cheeseburgers and she can lose 150# in one year... get rid of a bad habit, and it will happen...

*sigh.. this is why I decided baby steps, if I just get rid of one bad habit and replace it with one healthy habit... (exercise and water!) just maybe, I can be a better me!!

PS... PEEPS I havent been good at responding personally, and so many of you have kept me in your thoughts - I'm starting to feel guilty!!

WELCOME to the newbies - the best gift you can give yourself here is to post post post - thank you! Jeriber, Kay, Shula

Kat - dont give up now!!

Sponge and Utm have you been exercising? Thanks so much for your inspirations!!

Twinkie - so good to "see" you!!

Poohbears down 3# Poohbears down 3#

Hello all ! sorry it has taken me a lil bit to check in I have had a very sick clingy baby these last two days. he is asleep for now so i am gonna type as fast as i can before he wakes up!! well! i have not lost any weight this week, and i know why i ate dinner the last two nights at 10:30ish (evil fast food)because that is really the only time i could .Made kids dinner but never sat down to eat with them (husband was on computer doing his finals for school and i was cat napping in between mayson sleeping.)so these last three days have been bad, plus no aerobics on weds did not help. Next Week will be better, and i am gonna hit the excercise a lil more.. but i just felt guilty leaving lil man at home with dad (when he is sick )
like UM said he stares up at you like puss in boots off of shrek 2 and i am weak and can not fight him, oh well what can ya do , i am proud to admit i am up 2 pds for weigh in ... well mayson is up again so chat with ya all later and remeber just keep slimming and please pray that i don't get sick because if i do i will be down for days due to a very low immune system........ love ya all
UM did you hit aerobics today? how was it?

 

[faith]

Just found this thread. Can I join? My goal is to drop 5 pounds by Christmas...believe me I need to lose more, but hey, wouldn't that be better than a Christmas gain? I made a batch of fudge for Thanksgiving, and it keeps calling my name. Maybe this thread will help me cut back and exercise ( a little). Thanks for starting this thread!

 

[AlaskaMOM]

3 more #'s down!!!!

So thats 8 total! You guys ared the best willpower I have ever had.

To all those who have lost this week -

Everyone is doing great just by sticking with it!!

Remember losing the pounds is not the ultimate goal, it is changing are bad habits, and making our bodies healthier which we are ALL doing little by little.

BIG HUGS TO EVERYONE

I love what you said!!!!! The wish board is so motivational, I couldn't find better people to share my "getting down to the real, healthy me" with.

It sounds like the sickness bug has been passed around this thread!!! I sure hope everyone, and families are feeling better!!!

Welcome to all the new posters!!

OK well today is friday, so I knew I had to weigh myself this morning. I wasn't really looking forward to it, since I've kind of been hanging in the same 1 pound up/down range for over a week, but step on that scale I did, and then squealed with delight, down 3 pounds!!!! Now I'm only 2 pounds from my 55 pound goal (before DW trip, after I have another 25 pound goal)

Congrats to all the losers, and keep on slimming to those who are struggling a bit!!

Have an awesome weekend!!!

Hiya Peeps - had dismom check in for me earlier today as I had a Christmas party to attend...I was absolutely -----horrible...BUT not as horrible as I have been in the past. Baby steps. Water intake was not good today, and am feeling a little dehydrated now as result, I ate well today for the most part and tried to go easy before the dinner party, and tried to eat very small spoonfuls (like 3 bites) of the stuff offered, (but I did have dessert)

I ran 1/2 mile today and feet started hurting - I have plantar fasciitis in both my feet which is tendonitis basically, and when it gets inflamed Boy does it hurt! But I have used it as an excuse not to exercise fro 2 yrs now, and it has been a cycle of hurting feet causing not to workout causing being overweight which aggravates hurting feet...ssssssoooooooo I decided to work THRU the pain and low and behold, those feet are still sore, but are starting to heal...go figure...so today I ran/walked 1 mile and then did the elliptical for a while, then did some upper body strength training cause I am weak like a girly girl YUK - my goal was to put in 220 minutes of exercise this week...right now I am at 190 minutes, and still have Sat to work out - planning on taking Sunday off! (read 190/220) Yippee and I am proud cause I REALLY worked it hard today, really stinky sweat and everything..

Utah I don't think you got me and dismom in your numbers each with a 2# loss

woohooo - thanks to your support this week everybody! Great job Losers, for nonlosers, keep on trying, nxt week will be better

The sick bug has hit my house. My oldest son came home and went straight to bed and I later discovered that he had a fever.

Don't forget that harleygirl and I have both lost 2 lbs each this week.That takes the group up to 24 lbs.

My DDs went to the local Nutcracker tonight and I thought I would add a picture that I love.They are with their Nana.

 

[harleygirl]

Dismom, Tinkabella, and Spongemom, hope your babies get better soon sending you pixiedust

DisneyWorld Delight and Bee are you lurking still, wanna jump on our wagon? we are only a little

to Jeriber and Faith

 

[dwheatl]

UM, you missed me because I posted last night. I lost 1 lb. for the week. I hit the chocolate in the staff room today when I went in to make copies. I worked over 11 hours, so I felt sorry for myself, but now I'm just sorry about the chocolate. I'm going to go drink some water, brush my teeth, put on my jammies, and watch Ugly Betty with DH. I taped it last night.
to everyone who's sick or has a sick child. Baby yourselves w/ a non-food treat. You deserve it. Twinkie, I love your baby's name. My son was a yummy baby. I used to "nibble" on his face with my lips, which made him laugh, but I had to stop when I noticed it made his cheeks look like I'd been smacking him.
to our newbies. The more the merrier.
I'm hitting the gym tomorrow (If I say it here, I have to do it, right?)
Have a good night!

Great picture! We love the nutcracker!

I am afraid to join.... everytime someone joins they get the stomach flu .

However, as I stated before.... that could give me the jumpstart I need.

Anyway, Love y'all.

I am so proud of all of you!!!

 

[lexmelinda]

IT'S THE GOOD MORNING SHOUT OUT!!!

Wow....way to go, us!!! Congratulations, losers!!!

WELCOME, JERIBER & FAITH!

Dismom....beautiful girls! I used to have 2 little girls that I dressed alike and took to the Nutcracker. (Oldest DD actually performed in it a couple of times.) Anyway, they are now both as big as me and refuse to dress alike. Go figure!

DisneyObsession.....I don't think I mentioned how much I love your little baby Jesus avatar!

To everybody with sick kids! Been there. For stomach bug...my pediatrician advised only clear liquids for the first 24 hours. Then on to BRAT diet ONLY. No dairy or juice for one week. Stomach cramps continued at our house for 5 days after the onset. (Fed DS6 a PB&J after 4 days and had to call the hospital due to his screaming, crying.) Gas-X (simethacone) for cramping as needed. Hang in there...this, too, shall pass.

RE: Weight loss from stomach bug....it is deceiving! Your body wants that weight back and is programmed to get it back! Don't worry if you're up this week. You will be back to normal and a loss again next week.

YESTERDAY....
Exercise...walked the track for the third time this week. Gonna do Slim in 5 DVD today.
Calories....1374 I do record every bit I eat on the excel spreadsheet and try to over estimate. I even put down 100 calories for the few samples I picked up at Sams Club yesterday.
Water...Still a challenge. Have gotten down 3 bottles every day this week and 4 on one day. Will try harder next week.

HAVE GREAT SATURDAY, EVERYBODY!
