DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

Fall off the wagon and hurt my Back,..

Sorry ladies I havent been on I hurt my back today and fell off the wagon... I at chocolate cake and coconut shrimp to take some pain killers im headed to bed hopefully ill wake up tom and fell better. Potty training is killer on the back...

I did drink all my water though!

 

[aries1980]

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.

Um its ok at least it wasnt chocolate cake like me

If i could punish myself with situps I would but instead all i can do is pace... so i will pace around the house for an hour before bed tonight!!

Ladies I will be posting more recipes I hope tonight!!!

Wow...I was starting to think everyone was soooo good. Thank you for making me feel human again. I am having a hard time this week after being sick all of last. I need to get my head back into the game.

So I will do my best the next three days and hopefully not have gained. If I stay even, I will think that is a good week for me.

I want to join! I need to lose at least 40 lbs if not more. I have lost 10, but it has taken me almost 6 months to do it. I am trying to reduce my calories, but it is really hard. I don't have such a hard time with exercise. I bought the 6 week body makeover by Micheal Thurmond. My goals this week are to drink 75 oz of water a day and walk for 45 minutes 5 times.

 

[KatInHat]

... OMG what's that smell..... oh, it's Utahmama and the aftermath of the broccoli dinner punishment.

Utahmama: Don't be too hard on yourself. At least it wasnt BBQ flavored potato chips or cheesy doritoes. Broccoli, to me, would be like a death sentence. I guess that's why I'm in the boat I'm in now.. dieting and all. I guess I should try to develop a taste for veggies. I have fallen so far off the wagon the past week I can't even find the wagon to get back on.
Don't worry, Im gonna get back in the zone tomorrow.. water, exercise and everything !!!! I only have about 5 weeks to fit comfortably in my clothes for WDW, because I refuse to buy a size larger. So if I don't reach this goal I will be the blue person walking around Disney world in January becuase my jeans are so tight I can't breathe

I just don't understand I bought the book and everything.. why isnt it working ?? What's that you say ?? It doesn't work to just BUY the book ?? Seriously though, I'm back in business tomorrow .. and
I WILL ROCK THE SCALE and hopefully the tape measure too.

Howdy friends!

Just checkin in to say hi to all the losers here!! Uma you make me laugh so hard, I love reading your posts...I actually thought of you tonite as I did the whole christmas shopping thing and spent a few minutes trying to find a new pair of pants. I tried on some low-rise boot cut STRETCH cords, and had a grotesque image peer back at me from that evil full length mirror...I am quite certain that the muffin rolling over the top of the jeans up front and the coin slot showing out the rear, (not to mention the stuffed sausage appearance of thunder thighs in tight material) all of these nasty things must've belonged to someone else as I could not bring myself to look at the face of the person in the mirror just flat out GROSS...was very good motivation to eat a light supper

ANYWays - I really stank at drinking my water today, which in turn made me really hungry, had used all my allotted points/calories by like 4:30 today and ended up eating veggies for supper and right now as we speak there is ice cream in my freezer screaming my name...can you hear it?

Okay so enough complaining - thanks so much for listening and understanding and sharing your setbacks! at least I know that ya'll are here to help tomorrow be a better day!

Thanks a bunch!!!

P.S. there is the strangest odor tonight...smells like...broccoli!

Just knowing you all are here today gave me strength. I was hungry at recess and the snack du jour was little bags of chips. The Cheetos looked so good, and the little girl who brought them said, "Aren't you going to eat any?" I just focused on coming back to report to you all that I held out. I kind of had to do a "just for today" thing, because I'm not strong enough to swear off Cheetos for a lifetime. One day at a time, right. Anyway, I made it through, and that gave me the energy to ride the exercise bike for 30 minutes when I got home. Yay, me.

For those of you who fell off the wagon, yay for you for getting back on that horse. As I tell my students, we don't learn anything unless we make mistakes.

 

[harleygirl]

I simply cannot imagine a life without, Cheetos, that should be a crime of some sort! But I am of the mentality that I cannot eat just one, and thus consume them by the handfuls...so I hafta stay away too...but someday as we sit in our skinny jeans we will be able to eat a cheeto in celebration for all our hard work...and I know WeightWatchers will say don't use food as a reward, but I still do, cause food makes me feel good...I love food! what better way to say I love me than with a treat I have refrained from..is that a bad way to think?

I gotta ask, what is the Secret Green Club?

 

[Valentine]

Good Evening all!! Seems I am the late night poster here Okay... well... seems I found that wagon everyone is falling off of today!

I finally made better food choices today... Although.. not in a timely fashion! It was a REALLY STRESSFUL day at work!! Busy, busy busy. which led me to not eat lunch until almost 4:00!!! that is not good.. however.. I still made good choices... and then after rehearsal tonight I stopped off at Khols and shopped.. finally found those elusive black high top boots.. and a few gifts for some friends.. got the the register and DARN IT.. I switched jackets and left my wallet in the pocket of the jacket from the daytime!! UGH!!! So... I had them put everything on hold for me.. which means I have to go back tomorrow night after work...which of course means I will have to shop some more! LOL!! Oh.. this story did have a point... so.. that meant I got home very late.. and of course hungry.. and normally I would stop at the pizza place and grab a slice... okay 2 slices... and take those home and eat them while surfing.. well.. I decided that no.. I won't do that... I went home and had a bowl of cereal (Special K) with Skim milk. and that was that! So... Not fabulous cause I still am eating late.. but great because it wasn't Pizza

Baby steps!! Thank you ladies!!! You are all so inspirational!
Kathy

 

[harleygirl]

yay for you Val! Baby steps!

that ice cream is still calling to me...but its skinny icecream, so that may not be to bad...hmmmm...although it is late at night, wouldn't it help me sleep? like a really cold glass of milk? no?

That would be broccoli "vapours"....

YOU HAVE ICE CREAM IN YOUR HOUSE????? Put it out of it's misery! NO! Dont EAT it! Feed it to a skinny friend!



I love reading all y'alls posts! Looks like as some of us putter out, new fresh peeps enter. The Circle of Life.

TOOT SWEET!!!! where are you?????

I got a new very cute exercise outfit today for cheap at Walmart. I feel really FIT and ACTIVE in it! It makes my top half look great (like I'm "stacked" when I'm not really) and my bottom half look ok They arent magic pants or anything.

GOOD MORNING!!!

I love catching up on this thread every morning before the chillens wake up! Becca-becca, WELCOME! Nsalz....glad you're feeling better! Kathy...way to make good choices with the Special K! Danielle....you can resist Cheetos? I admire your iron will. I'd be asking the kid for the nutritional information to get a calorie count! I can't resist and that why I don't buy chips anymore....I stopped about a year ago. No more chips in lunches or in the house...period! Harleygirl....step away from the ice cream! Aries....hope your back is better today! KatinHat...Keep reading that book and applying the info....and telling us about it! Did I tell you I know some folks from Hattiesburg who live here in KY.....Drew & Kathy. If that sounds familiar...pm me. UM....don't beat yourself up over soy chips! Broccoli as a punishment? I LOVE broccoli...eat it almost every day! Eeww...what's that smell?

Yesterday....
4 water bottles full of water....we have a "bubbler" at work so I refill. One bottle was flavored with Lipton diet honey/lemon green tea...single serve. It's GOOD! 0 calories!
30 minutes on the walking track....at high speed...approx. 2 miles.
Calories....1365...all healthy except the Dove dark chocolate morsel...and the hershey kiss. I'd be falling off the proverbial wagon all the time if I couldn't have a little sumpn sweet.

HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

 

[Poohbear77]

Whats that I smell...... Oh it's just UM. Ha, I also loooove Broccoli! I eat it all the time. Actually just had an entire bag of those new steam in bag broccoli yesterday for lunch with just a splash of chedder.

Melinda- 4 BOTTLES OF WATER UGH I just can't do it. I've tried every kind of pour in imaginable and it still tastes like this LOL Great job on the exercise

So, you know when you are on a "diet" you can find a snack in anything. Well yesterday I discovered my kids single serve applesauces. I LOVE italian ice, so I though what if i freeze this little sucker. IT WAS SOO GOOD! You can scrape it with your spoon just like italian ice. AND it only has 60 calories. Just my little tip for today.

 

[UtahMama]

Goood Morrrrning!!!!

My Free Aerobics Class at the church is replaced by a funeral today so for excercise, I'm Shoveling a crapload of snow! Yayyyy! Ugh! There's a LOT of snow to shovel. When I look outside my window, I cant tell the difference between the curb and the street and my driveway. It's like a Winter Wonderland! Hope the city plows make it through our street!

Sooo after the Soy Chip BINGE yesterday and the yummy cheesey broccoli platter of redemption...I'm feeling alot better about myself. It's not WHAT they were, it was the old habit I 've been trying to change...being out of control.

I had a lofty goal of 4 pounds set for this week, I may not achieve, but my other goals have been met so far!

Hopefully those who are not posting anymore or alot less frequently are just busy and not giving up. They worry me. I would hope that if I didnt show up here for several days, y'all would PM me to NAG me nicely! What should we do? Maybe a thoughtful PM???

 

[Tinkabella]

Good Morning Ladies,

We still have no snow here...(Montreal, Canada) so I am taking advantage of the nice weather and putting up my outdoor Christmas lights...that counts as exercise...right ?

I have been chugging away with the water (4 liters a day...sorry for the metric but I'm a true chanuk, I think thats about a zillion oz's???)

I am rewarding myself with a Cadbury Thin bar (YUMMY and only 100 cals) each day I can reach the 4 litre goal...so far so good.

I am going to try the frozen applesauce...sound tasty. Another good frezzer tip...I like frozen grapes...they are small but they take awile to eat.

I am off to have some whole wheat pita triangles and hummus and yes...more water !

Good luck to everyone for a "skinny day"


Tinkabella

 

[eeyore45]

UM - I was thinking the same thing. I'm starting to backslide. I'm losing faith in myself. I did ok yesterday, sneaking in exercise! My mind is taking over, the negative back talk, like, "it just doesnt matter" or "I have to eat, this is all that's available to me"...

Who should we go in search of?!!

[KatInHat]

Good morning !!! It's a brand new day !!!! and I've got a new attitude !!!

I had a bowl of bran flakes with fat free milk for breakfast and a cup of coffee (which according to You On a Diet is high in antioxidants ) with sugar free Hazelnut creamer. I will start on my water shortly.

eeyore Please don't give up.. You are worth it I know you can do it. Get all of the temptations out of the house and buy good for you foods so when you are tempted to snack you will be forced to snack smart.

I just finished 2 more chapters in the book and have a few more tips for those who are interested.

( BTW, DR. Oz, one of the authors of the book will be on the Oprah show today ( if programming is the same all over) to answer burning weight loss questions.)

This was something I found very interesting but I will not tell DH this tidbit of info.. he may use it against me !! Ready here goes... "Stay Va-VA-Va-Voom satisfied.. In the form of safe, healthy, monogamous sex. Sex and hunger are regulated through the same brain chemical. Having sex could help control food intake. .... Now go get busy.

They also stress the importance of eating fiber, especially in the morning. You will be less hungry later in the day when you are normally inclined to gorge and snack. Good fiber sources: Oatmeal, cereal, whole grains and fruit.

Try eating a little good fat 20 minutes before a meal. (6 walnuts, twelve almonds, or 20 peanuts) This will stimulate the production of the hormone that tells you you are full and slow the emptying of your stomach that way you can sit down and eat for pleasure not for hunger which is one way to ensure you'll eat les..

Add red pepper to your food. When eaten early in the day decreases food intake later in the day. Credit has been given to red pepper for increasing metabolism.. Add red peppers to your omlet in the morning.

Ok, I hope I didnt bore you too much. Just trying to help.. If you want me to stop with the tips just let me know. My feelings won't be hurt.

The first part of the book is a bit sciency but I find it really interesting and I feel like I really want to make the commitment to a healthy life for me and my family. I am going to start buying healthy snacks and cooking healthy meals for my children also.

I'm all over it!

Eeyore! Watch Oprah today! That guy is great! I need the motivation!

I dont do coffee for religious reasons so I'll seek other antioxidant rich foods.


Kat! Your enthusiasm is CONTAGEOUS!!!! Thank you!!!!

there are the hundred calorie packs of cheetos and they are so good and you really feel like you are eating a lot of them.. same thing for doritos if you like them they have them too!!!
