DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[Toot Sweet]

It's SNOWING in SLC? You lucky ducks!! I thought that after moving from Vegas to Viriginia, we'd finally get some snow, but so far...nothin'.

How's everyone doing? I'm doing okay. I've started taking my vitamins and drinking more water. But I have not altered my eating habits or started exercising yet. I hope you won't shun me from the thread. I'll start making some goals, though.

 

[KatInHat]

Wow, Snow... do the kids go to school when it snows? We don't get snow here.. I think the only time I saw snow was Christmas Day in 2004 when I lived in the New Orleans area.. believe me it was a BIG deal !! and it wasnt even that much snow.

honeymo: Way to go with the walking !! I know what you mean about walking outside and actually going somewhere vs. the treadmill .. the treadmill seems like tourture just to get 1mile.

eeyore: I didnt mean to bring "stinkin' thinkin'" .. I was really just kiddin'. Thanks for the hugs and reminding me to stay positive .. I needed some positive energy.

I am going to take notes as I read the book, You on a diet, so I can share.
So here are a few tips so far most are common knowledge:
eat lots of fiber

eat good-for-you omega-3 fats in the form of olives, fish, and nuts (especially walnuts) These fats increase the chemicals the make you feel full.

Don't undereat your body will start to store fat.

Plan your meals: Start every day knowing when and what you are going to eat.

That's it so far. More to come later. Next chapter:"Can't get no Satisfaction: The Science of Appetite" Who Thinks I should just skip to Chapter 10 where they will tell me exactly how to get skinny. The Activity plan and Waist Management Eating Plan.

I can't believe what happened-my treadmill broke. At least I had walked first so now I have done 2/4 of my exercises for the week.I have to come up with a new plan for exercise now.

I also tried the flatbread this evening for dinner.It was very good.Thank you for the idea,UM.

 

[aries1980]

[pixie dust 112]

Spongie!!! Look outside!!!!


for those of you who dont happen to live in Salt Lake City...It's SNOWING!!!

I am SNOW JEALOUS! In upstate NY we haven't even had a flurry! We usually start getting flurries in October! Today it was 60 degrees! I so want snow! I Love to play in the snow and to shovel! When we get our first snow that sticks I make my kids go out and play with me. I've had times when I've had to drag their sorry butts outta bed to come play with me at midnight! They think I'm a little

You are definitely not from the Buffalo area, as we were hit Oct 12th with lake effect snow that knocked out power for days on end!!! I hated the snow then, but now getting into Dec, snow would be fine! (At least colder weather!)

I just found this thread tonight and would like to join. I have been on WW forever, lost 30 lbs and gained back 20! Now that I have been dissing for awhile, I'd like to find accountability here with my fellow "Disney Fanatics"!

As for my goals:
1) Drink 64 oz water daily
2) Exercise 3-4 times a week
3) Eat "good for me" foods

OK, that's a start. Thanks, in advance, for letting me join. (At least, I am hoping I can join and you won't kick me out!) PLEASE?!?!

Hey everybody!! So good to hear about everyone's Monday! Was a new day for me as well...very good with my eating today, even went to the groc. store hungry and didn't buy to much junk, spent way to much, but at least was healthy choices and no Little Debbie's came home with me...went to the gym with intention of doing a light 20 min (still a little weak from being sick) and got all caught up in the Travel Channel show about Black Hills and whaddaya know 50 min went by and my buddies were like "uh its time to go back to work" so YAY! for me

HUNGRY right now tho' , this is my worst time for snacking...I will stay away, I will be good,(even while DH consumes his evening ritual of VERY large Choc milkshake, is so not fair that he can do that every night and NEVER gain a pound) oh well ...

Have a coworker who did a weight loss Bible study and she passed along that when you want to eat something eat just a little of it to satisfy the craving, also when you sit down to your meal, divide it in half and try to eat only half (yeah right) we'll see if it works, did for her! she lost 8 lbs fairly quickly, but more importantly, has kept them off.


Okay, so my goals for the week are:
1. try to drink more water every day
2. exercise 6 times this week (4 at gym, 2 at home)
3. Not snack after dinner (thas the hard one!)

Keep up the good work everyone!

 

[Poohbear77]

UM I am sooo jealous that it is snowing where you are. Snow would have been nice tonight while putting up our tree. Oh well, I will just have to be patient until it is our turn

Sandy- prayers for your friend. May God guide the surgeons hands.

So far so good this week guys. I have been doing my Ty-Bo tape at least every other night. I really like it, it makes me feel Powerful!!! Trying to drink water, but I DO NOT like it. Ugh, I just keep chugging until its gone, then dring a diet pepsi

You ladies are truely fab!!! I think after a year, when we are all skinny minnies we should meet in Disney and show ourselves off

Keep slimmin' and have a great night's sleep.

Dawn

 

[dismom9761]

DisneyObsession!The more the Merrier. I am right there with you about WW.I lost about 30 lbs and met my goal weight and now have put it ALL back on.Good luck!

Hello all , Just checking in ! thought i would jump on and say Hi and welcome to all the newbies, i sucked at aerobics today i just wanted to crawl in a corner and cry but what can ya do

I have always sucked at aerobics. I love to dance, but I just can't do the synchronized steps with everyone. So, sometimes I do the tapes at home, and if I'm a total klutz, it doesn't matter. At the gym, I do the stairmaster or the treadmill, as well as free weights. Oh, and I can kick my kindergartners butts at the Hokey Pokey!

My goals this week:
Exercise 3x for 1/2 hour each
Drink my water (or herbal tea)
Stay away from the kindergartner snacks (My students take turns bringing snacks to share, and it's so easy to pop a couple of Oreos or Chips Ahoy in my mouth).

Inner peace and blessings to all of you. Stay strong!

 

[Valentine]

WoW... that's what happens when you don't check in during the day!!! OMG! I am dizzy from trying to catch up on all this craziness!! LOL!! Hi gals! I would love to comment to everyone... but man.. it would take me hours to do that now!!!!! Just a few highlights...

Welcome to everyone who has joined the fold!! I have yet to get me butt in gear... I have a serious case of the blues... I don't know what IT is.. but I will kick it!!! (I swear I am usually so much more fun!! )

Dawn... How did everything turn out with your car? So sorry about the pocketbook!!! That really is terrible... but I love how you were able to turn it around for yourself!!

UM.. SNOW?? REALLY?? It is like spring here today!!! There were people walking around in shorts!!! I kid you not!!!!

Harley - I am with you on the late night snacking... It is my weakness as well!! If i could just go to sleep.. but nooooo ... I find if I drink Hot tea then I snack less.... but then that keeps me awake! LOL!!

Eeyore.. keeping your friend in my thoughts!!

KatinHat - Love your screenname

And Lastly for tonight... TWINKIEMAMA - Thank you so much for your kind words... it really helps to see someone else "get it". I appreciate you taking the time to try and help And as for my name.. It is REally mine btw!

And to all of you ladies... I Hope you all realize how much it helps to see that someone cares... So.. thank you all for checking in and showing that we all do matter in the greater scheme of things... It's just really nice to see people care about one another... even though we don't "know" each other!

Oh.. yeah.. and My goals:
Get in gear!!!!!
Check in on the thread during the day so I don't have to play catch up and miss out on all the fun!
Drink my water (oh... and I think it's drink 1/2 your weight in Ounces.. not All your weight)
Get my evening meal to be as healthy as the rest of my day.
Exercise!!!!!

That's all folks!

Night
Kathy

[lexmelinda]

Good morning, all!

Wow....it was a busy day here at the thread yesterday! WELCOME to
Tinkerbella...je ne parle pas francais....sorry. WELCOME to my friend DisneyObsession!!!! So happy you're here!

KatinHat.....I missed you too! Keep it coming with the YOU: On a Diet tips. I read Dr. Oz's tips on Oprah.com and seemed to make a lot of sense.

Like Monica mentioned earlier, Omega-3 deficiencies can cause depression and lots of other problems. Here is a link to the omega-3 page on a great site called World's Healthiest Foods (www.whfoods.com) for more info on good sources of omega-3. Scroll up and down.

Yesterday:
Gagged down my water.
Did the "Start it Up!" portion of the Slim in 6 DVD with DS6. (hilarious)
Kept the calories down to 1300.

Have a great day, ladies!!!
(Where's DISUNC? Should we send out a search party?)

No I'm nowhere near Buffalo. We had one of those horrendous snowstorms about 20 years ago on Oct 4. Nature just isn't ready that early, tree are weighted down too much between the leaves and the snow. That is a disaster! Ours was as bad as yours, but did keep everything down for about a week!

I'mn glad you've joined us. This is a great gruop!

 

[eeyore45]

I love reading everyone's posts, and journeys - thank you all so much for continuing to support me - and especially - INSPIRE

I'm working as a nurse's aide today (maybe until the new year! ) its a delicate position as the nurse is really strict!! Not too many understand her, they just openly hate her... they made her cry the last time I was there! There's not much work for me to do after attendance - but I cant do anything else... I cant 'snack' in the office, but she can! (snack = water and cereal as I dont have a designated lunch break at all!! If it comes, it comes! )

I hope to try and walk the school - no stairs in this building -

Have a great day - and do one thing today -

SUCK IT IN! Look in the mirror (with clothes on!! ) then stand up straight and suck it in, difference? I'll bet there is - you'll be grinning!!!


Go on, make it a GREAT DAY!! THE CHOICE IS YOURS!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Good Morning!!

I already have my first glass of water in hand. I am determined to reach my goal with all my water...64oz. CHUG!CHUG!CHUG!

Packed breakfast & lunch for work and have ground beef out for dinner. I may have something else for dinner with less calories. I'm still figuring that out.

eeyore45...Thanksm for the "suck-it-in" reminder. It's amazing how much thinner & taller I look when I actually do that! I will "suck-it-in" all day!!!

Hope you all have a great day and I'll be sure to check in later to see how you're all fairing!!

 

[spongemommie05]

Good afternoon all , how is everyone doing? good here except i am freezing It is snowing off and on here, it's barely sticking to the ground.. but it looks so pretty,, well i am off to the gym again today, i am addicted now, plus it is a break from everything else,, check in with ya later..

 

[dismom9761]

Hi everyone!I hope ya'll are having a successful day.So far my eating has been good,yesterday I didn't eat enough calories and I was starving at midnight.
B-bagel and banana(210 cal)
L-turkey pita pocket,string cheese,and banana(330 cal)
Tomorrow I am going to sign up at a Gym. I am ready for some mommy time...Baby steps.

 

[UtahMama]

THAT's IT! I QUIT!!!!!! (just kidding)

I cheated in a BAD way today.


((breathe))

Culprit: BBQ flavored Soy Crisps
Extenuating Circumstances: Skipped breakfast due to improper planning. And basically being an idiot.

I ate the WHOLE bag. 3.5 servings per bag. (110 cals per serving)= 385 calories!!!! 13 g carbs per serving= 45.5 carbs in one sitting. I'm lucky I didn't keal over!
3 g. fat per serving= 9 fat (ok, that's not so bad)
Tons of salt= water retention and puffiness.

So, I considered it lunch.

I'm having broccoli tonight for punishment. If you smell something foul at your house, it's me clear from Utah. Broccoli and 100 sit ups on my new pilates ball should be good.

If you look at it, my falling off the wagon (FOTW) is minor...I mean the actual food wasnt too bad. Only to me it means I lost CONTROL.

 

[Backstage_Gal]

Uma, sorry you fell off the wagon, but I am sure you will get back on.

Now, for your new siggie.

Wishing You a Warm Nose and Toasty Toes This Holiday Season!

At first I read it as "WASHING" instead of "Wishing"
