DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[TwinkieMama]

Ok, Twinkie! Your loss brings us to 29!

I forgot, I only have 1 more pound before I get my new fancy 10 pound ribbon!

Have you seen or heard of Junior's Giants? It may be a cultural thing but it's at Walmart here. It a Christian DVD for kids! Go to www.JuniorsGiants.com! It is COOL! My 17 year old even liked it!

#1 is on the 'Tude (giant...think of David and Goliath) handling his anger and temper.
lil brother is "Little Man" who I think of your YummyBaby every time! The mom is HIGHLY organized!

#2 is Envy Thou Not (prov. 3:31) about materialism...VERY good to casually wip out this time of year! Includes the mom who cannot scrapbook very well but no one will tell her she sucks at it!

no! I have never heard of Junior's Giants... I will have to go look because a)
we do call our DSyummybaby "Little Man" because he is! He outgrew babyhood at a very young age (wah!)

and #2

Includes the mom who cannot scrapbook very well but no one will tell her she sucks at it

OMG! that is ME!

Hello all-
I'm back from Siberia (the kitchen).
I think I did pretty well yesterday.
My main problem was everything turned out so good I had a hard time with stopping. I did, but man was it hard. I do have to say I was preparing myself for my feast by getting on the TM right after I put the bird in the oven, 30 minutes!! Then a few hours later after I prepped all the veggies I hopped on the bike for 50 minutes. Kind of appeaseing the guilt to come! I did not lose anymore since I discovered the 1 pound loss on Saturday. But I think all the exercise I've been doing has shifted/sucked/tightened things up a bit, so I'm ok with it.

Wow, that's a lot of weight gone to wherever weight goes. Good riddance!



Btw, I took my son to Disney for a couple of days while my husband did some work around the house. Someone who had done the DDP wrote that the chocolate cake at Columbia Harbor House was the best dessert she tried at WDW, so I had to try it. It was fantastic. It was a little cake and a ton of icing.

I just want to say that it came in a small plastic cup thing with a nutritional label that said it served two at 220 per serving. That means that the person who eats it gets 440 calories for that one dessert alone! For me, that's almost a meal.

I have to wonder how DDPers deal with this.

I'm not going to weigh in today since I just started yesterday, but I will say I had a more successful Thanksgiving than in some years past. I skipped seconds, and didn't eat more because my brother was creeping me out big time. I hit the black Friday shopping at Target this morning, came home and rode the exercise bike, had a smallish but satisfying lunch, went back out shopping, got very frustrated (why won't DH give me one stinking idea of what he wants?), almost walked into See's candy, and then remembered that I had you all backing me up. I came home, had an apple with some Caramel Apple light yogurt (yummy), and now I feel better.
Keep up the good work, friends.

Great job all you peeps I didn't weigh in.. because I haven't officially "re-started". I am having a problem getting kick-started again. Sometimes I think too much knowledge is not a good thing! LOL!! I have so many different plans in my brain from past experiences... and I can't decide which one to go with! OY!! I checked out Ediets.com... Seems interesting.. and gives you some ideas of what to eat... that is where I find I have the most problems. That and being prepared by having healthy choices to choose from. Anyone have any experience with Ediets?

I have spent the day today DEEP cleaning my apartment. I have shampooed my carpets and am moving around all my furniture. I have only made a dent... I still have way more to do... Either I am depressed or PMSing! Only time I want to clean... but either way.. it is definitely necessary... I just don't understand how my apartment becomes so cluttered... I mean.. it is only me here..I just don't understand how come I can't keep a magazine clean house! LOL!! I see these houses that are sparkling with nothing out of place... you can eat off the floors... and I wonder... How do they do that??? I mean.. is it possible??? Am I just a slob? But then I see the shows like Clean Sweep and think.. Ahhhhh now I don't feel like such an alien.. cause even my house is nowhere near that! I guess I just have way too much stuff and nowhere to put it...and of course... we all know that the cats must be having those kitty parties while I am out! So... at least I burned some calories!

And I am proud of myself... I stayed home and cleaned, as opposed to going shopping which is what I really wanted to do... I don't need more STUFF... I need to get rid of what I have first and organize it as well.... If my living space is in chaos.. then so is the rest of my life. I need to get this done so that I can focus on getting the rest of me together as well!

On the fun side.... my Magical Express tags came in the mail today!! So... a few more weeks and I am in my happy place!! But that means it is that much closer to the marathon too!! A bit scared!! OMG!!!

Thanks for letting me vent! And I love reading about your successes!!! And struggles! Makes me feel that I am not alone!

[eeyore45]

Wow Kathy, that sounds like some major exercising!!

I will claim 4# loss (I've been hovering between 4 and 5 pounds lost)


Confession time... I'm hovering on depression, I could so easily fall into a major 'funk'... I'm fighting it. I'll come out on top. Its trying to figure out who I am, and where I belong! DS and his gf came for ONE day - they both go to the same college - they've not moved in together - but at 21, I know I have to let go.. but you think they couldve given us a little bit more of their time! DS 18 has spent the time so far at a friends house, he sometimes doesnt come home at all - now, he was here (with his gf) last night, and he was sneezing, and snuffling (he has allergies, and asthma) ...

ah well... thanks for letting me vent... I need to write it out, to feel it, to examine it, and feel foolish, and move ONWARD...

I did black friday - I was shocked at how horrible the crowds were, and how few deals there were for our family!! I was SO NOT impressed!! I've done a lot of online shopping - I went to the stores an hour after they opened, it was so much calmer - - Walmart at 6 (2 videos for $1.87) Target at 7am (more dvd but for $3. somethin, and the idog!!) the mall at 8, I bought ME somethin... pj's (my normal ones are so old they make me feel like i"m wearing an old rag - I told dh to throw them out!!) with coupons the $54 Karen Nuremburg jammies came to $26!

So mostly I walked. I parked 2 lots over from Kohls, and walked back and forth...

suckin it in as I type...

 

[spongemommie05]

well i just got back from walmart got my ds3 the Thomas the tank train set for $50.00( could not pass it up as it is $199.00 at toys r us ) that is all the shopping i did. but i am happy, now i just need to find a train table and he is set (although we did not plan to buy anything took the family and so he knows about it trying everything to make him forget but it is a gift from mom and dad.)good job to all have a great weekend check back later rememeber just keep slimmin

Thinking of u!!!!!

 

[dismom9761]

Everyone seems to be on top of things. WWPD was playing in my mind while I tried to eat leftovers while staying in line.

Eeyore-I hope you get to feeling better.Maybe it is in the air,I had a big cry earlier and I never do that.I have been feeling "off" for a few days and something little set me off.Then this evening someone hurt my DD7's feelings.Am I the only one that HURTS like it is happening to them as well as their child?That may not make sense but maybe ya'll will get it.

Maybe its just a night of venting...

I really just want to EAT though I am not hungry.DH is not here and I am down and bored. Yep that's what I'll do.

Yeah.... thank goodness for holidays... It's a major reason I get motivated to super clean! LOL!!

 

[BONITATIME]

Good Morning everyone.
Congratulations to everyone even those who haven't lost anything this week. Those are the hardest weeks when you know that you havent been off the diet but the scales show nothing. I usually measure myself in 4 places as well so I can see some loss even if it's not on the scales.

I am going to work this morning then off to xmas shop for the family. This should help with my diet as long as I eat before I go so I am not hungry. They have an ice cream place that is to die for but I have decided I will not visit that end of the shopping centre then I can't be tempted.


Sandy - try to hang on and think good thoughts teenagers/youths are very self orientated they forget we are used to having them around and just do their own thing. Try telling them you would like to spend time with them or suggest you do something together.

Have a great weekend everyone.

 

[lexmelinda]

Good morning!

Sandy....Way to go on the 4 pounds! And Sandy....the boys may be in adult-ish bodies but they're still kids for all practical purposes. The older they get the more they will appreciate family....and you are blessed to still have your little sweetie at home.

Kathy.....way to go on the cleaning!! My husband is the most dedicated pack rat in America. Our neighbor's cell phone play the theme from "Sanford & Son" when my husband calls. Be happy you can move your furniture to clean under it!!! DME tags came??? WOO HOO!!

Kay....As DDPers last September, I can tell you that after a while, we just refused the dessert....that's the only way to really deal with it.

Jill.....I admire the way you hop on the bike and ride!! Way to keep burning those calories.

Amy.....Nothing bothers me more than when another child hurts my child's feelings. So sorry! Hope she (and you) feels better today. Kids can be so hurtful without even realizing it. I plan to have a big clean on Monday when the kids go back to school so we can get Christmas up and running.

dwheatl...What can we can you? Wheatie? I admire your candy resistance. WWPD? The caramel apple yogurt sounds good! I love the yoplait whips....chocolate cherry and key lime....they really taste like dessert!

Spongemommie.....Your family pic is beautiful. What a great looking group. I love that your son sort of put his head on your shoulder. They are all SO cute....you are truly blessed.

Twinkie....I'll be right over for some pie. I think since I'm calorie counting, we'll just call it "lunch".

UM.....Thanks again for organizing and motivating us! 70 pounds...now that's the size of like an 8 year old....that we've lost. Way to go, us!

Nikki....You're measuring? Now that really tells the tale. Guess I should pick up a tape measure. I think I burned my old one is a ceremony some years back.

I'm repeating my successful strategy from last year....shopping at Target on Saturday morning instead of Friday. All the same deals...no people. Have a great day everyone!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Wow, we must be shopping! Seems a smidgen slow-ish.

Today is Target (Tar-jshay or the Bullseye Boutique) day! We have to journey quite far to get to a Super Target. I'll pass 20 Walmarts to get there (exaggerated). I NEED to replenish my protein stock and add YOGURTS! I 'm thinking I deserve to get some Yoplait fancy flavo(u)rs along with the store brand gelatin added yucky kind. The Boston Cream Pie flavor mentioned a few pages back sounds very good. I know the chocolate ones you eat with a baby spoon to savor.


I got my fat bum wupped yesterday from BROOKE the excercise lady. Took us (all 4 of us) past the burn. I am actually surprised I'm currently not a size 5 after yesterday. Thinner Thighs Cometh!!!

 

[honeymo78]

Yesterday wasn't too bad although it was at the higher end of my planned calories. I had 2 hot dogs and some tomato soup for lunch. I resisted the evil afternoon snack cravings. We had chinese for dinner and I went for beef lomein. This place didn't put in as many veggies as the cart by work. I also had some milk and a 100cal cookie pack for dessert. Oh and I got walk in while I was at work. I went downtown and looked at all the store windows. The only shopping I did yesterday was online at Kohls to get DH some new sweaters.

I woke up this morning and stepped on the scale (as I do every morning) and I was down 1lb. Now should I count that for this week or hold on to it for next friday?

 

[aries1980]

Morning Ladies sorry I didnt get in yesterday I was Black Friday shopping all day!!!!! My Fvorite day of the year. I did stay on target with calories too!!


OK ready I weighed in and here is the result including that 1 and 1/2 from last saturday I lost after last fridays weigh in I lost a total of 3 1/2 pounds again this week!!!!


I got a total of 6 pounds down I am so pumped right now!!!


Thanks ladies for this board if it wasnt for you I would have fallen off Thanksgiving and been in a slump, but I am not and I cant wait for weigh in again!!!!

 

[aries1980]

Homey, your fingers look FABULOUS!!!

I went to Walmart (boys Levi's $10! and BIG packs of Hot Wheels $10.00) NO line at 6:00! And Shopko, fleece blankets $3.99 and chocolate nuts $1.50 (slap on a bow, for unexpected gift giving!) and a duck down king-size comforter for $24.99.

Lucky I was out at walmart at 3am not 2am like i wanted and I was 30th online, its ok I got the idog and the vsmile like I wanted and then i headed for kb toys that was ridiculous which i expected because it always is and then to micheals and five below and then the list doesnt stop till like 3pm when i was only done with half of my christmas list LOL!!!

 

[aries1980]

Hi everyone!!!!

Ok I had a loss this week but I also had the Vile Flu so I can't take credit... though I have hit the "magic" point where I feel so much better! My jeans are loose and my clothes fit right

I need serious help with getting back on the wagon! I still have a sick baby, company, and the very stressfull "airing of the Christmas wish lists" has begun... ugh! I am so glad that I cooked instead of my mom.... as Utah said nothing is really "worth it"... but I haven't counted calories for days or exercised or drank my water. Also it is harder for me to be awesome when I am happy with how my clothes fit.. so tempting to give myself "a little reward"... like the huge cinnamon roll I had for breakie. (Salad for lunch. Not one bite of dressing or mashed potatos! )


Ok... I will claim a 3 lb loss. (might be closer to 4, I am having scale issues but I'll go with the lower number because if it is a real loss it will still be there next week).... giving me a total of 8 lbs gone!!!!!!

And also very exciting: a 2 inch loss on my waist!!!!!

Again congrats to all the Losers and for everyone with the courage to try!!!!!

Come Back on the wagon, the ride will be a liuttle bumpy but just fine...Just breathe and take it slow... and drink some water!!!!!!
