DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[pixie dust 112]

OK I am back!!

With a bigger wagon!

Everyone get on board!

I have not been hard core this week... basically I was just "bored" of being awesome. And it will show on weigh in tomorrow- I have gained back the wt I lost with the flu so I am back to where I was the first Friday

I have not been keeping strick track of my food this week nor drinking my water. I have sick kiddos so my exercise time is cut short more often than not. And now we have a snow day which means my surly preteen is home stirring up trouble with the twins (why can't he just leave them alone?)

But I totally agree with what was said about falling.. I tend to say "ok today is shot so I may as well have a doughnut"... as if those calories don't count just because I am already over my limit... . dumb I know!

So I am prepared for a disappointing weigh in tomorrow and I am ready to be awesome!

You're always awesome...it's just part of being you!

Evening slimming queens! hope everyone had a fab day. I had a good day myself, consumed more water than yesterday, (baby steps) and had a kickin workout, I actually RAN 3/4 a mile ...yes thats why the richter scale bounced here in the Southeast...then I did a few weights and situps...skipped yoga, couldn't get the schedule worked out to attend the class...Happy B-day Valentine!! you asked about Yoga - I love it, makes me feel so strong...the best class I took left me feeling so relaxed, tired with muscle fatigue, but really felt like I was walking tall if that makes sense...tip for wardrobe! DO NOT wear short shorts, lowriders or a tshirt that will gap at the neck or ride up...(you will be inverted for a number of poses) so try on what you would wear and bend over and grab your ankles and see if you can look down your shirt or if your pants try to slide backward and go from there!!! Trust me- can be embarrassing if there are men in the class. ..other thing the instructor recommends is to not eat for an hour before session.

Hi to all the newbies!!! glad you are here!! Together we can do this!!

WI is tomorrow?! honestly dont know which way I will go, but either way I will try to be positive...have 2 parties to attend this weekend, eatin meetins we call em here in GA - am kinda worried as to how I will gracefully take part and yet not offend my hosts...maybe get little portions? water before? hmmm...decisions

Exercise this week 145/220 min with 3 workouts to go! I might make it!
Water (does Crystal lite count) had 3 glasses today (not counting post workout)

I loved the wagon pic!!! makes me hum Rollin Rollin Rollin
hehe I love you guys! We're gonna look SO good come shorts weather!!!

ya'll have a good Friday! If I can manage to get my lazy tail up early I will post weigh in early, if not it maybe late Fri evening...Night !!

Weigh In Noodie Patootie and after a good pee pee!

My weight has fluctuated SO much this week! I must have really retained water with my stomach flu, it could go either way for me! Right now I'm drinking TONs of water to attempt to get rid of it (if that makes any sense). It usually works to un do the retention of drinking diet Pepsi. I am STILL sore from my workout last monday! That Brooke is killer! My abs KILL from retching!

I dont know if I made my weight loss goal. For sure not the work out goal due to extreme Gomboo (stomach flu). I did do my water goal. Phase 2 is nice because you eat GOOD carbs. NOT white carbs. I need to get some whole wheat pasta, because Italian food sounds good.


Anyway! Please weigh in and report the good, bad, and the ugly no matter what, ok? It's hard but being accountable is usually where I end up failing. It's SO much easier to not be accountable.

Harley what do the numbers mean in your excercise numbers? (145/220) I see that alot and am clueless.



Good Luck!!!!

[eeyore45]

I just noticed Sponge's ribbons - - CONGRATULATIONS!! sorry about Mayson, hope its over soon!

I'm up at this wonderful hour, coughing and hacking away... and watching and listening to the winter storm! WE HAVE SNOW!! and sleet, and THUNDER! I would guess NO SCHOOL!!! DD has a birthday slumber party tonight, wonder if that will be cancelled? (and I was looking forward to a first night home alone, no kids!! )

Well, I did get on the scale... I dont remember what I posted last Friday - I've been going up and down 3# most of the week, but as of 3AM I've lost a total of 10# Which I believe is only a 1# loss for the week... but I'll take it!!

Going to lay down on the couch, the heat is turned down, and I'm starting to shiver!!

GO PEEPS - dont get discouraged by a number... just keep fighting the good fight!!

MORNING SHOUT OUT!!!

Got up late this morning so not much time to chat....
WELCOME, SHULA!!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATHY!!! Everybody come to the party...round of diet soda, on me.....with free, instant refills.....


Hang on a sec and let me go weigh in....wait right here.....

OK.....2 pounds down for the week! That puts me just one away from my goal...I was just trying to lose 8 pounds. But I'm still not likin the way things look. This is not so much about weight loss for me as it is about good healthy eating habits and exercise. Gotta get ready for work...

HAVE A GREAT DAY, EVERYONE!!!

 

[Kay1]

Wow, everybody and congratulations on all the weight loss. I hope those who are ill will get better very quickly. I had a cold last week but used Zicam and I seem to be over it.

I weighed in and lost 3 pounds this week. I've lost 5 pounds since I joined for an average of 2 pounds per week.

I've finally decided on a goal: 5 pounds by Christmas, then maintain until the boys go back to school. Then I'll see how things settle and decide what to do next.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Good morning Peeps! I see there is a lot less of you!

Way to go!


I am 3 lbs up ... making my total loss 5 lbs (sheesh... almost lost my ribbon) and I am thankful it isn't more of a gain. I have not been good. But no time for whining about the past... time to change the future. What am I doing right now? chugging the water bay-bee! I haven't had water in days but like I said yesterday... I got a bigger wagon with room for all you peeps and I am back on it! (Welcome Shula! Big goals there... you sound like a Pixie Princess (ie shortypants) like me... a little bit of weight makes a huge difference on us little people.)

Pixie Dust- you crack me up girl!!! Post more often cause is exercise too!

Hi Kay- I don't know if I said welcome to the thread... but you are welcome! I am so glad to have you here.


In other Twinkie news: vile flu and pinkeye is gone! My DSyummybaby (age 18 mos) has been clingy and fussy all week... last night I got home from work and he crawled into my arms and he was ON FIRE (and not in the good way KWIM?)... DH said "yeah he is hot but I just gave him advil right before you got home"... Little Man's temp was 104.5 after advil!!!!! We had a few hours of worry (and an icy roads so I really did not want to go to the hospital cause they keep the sick people there)... but were able to lower his temp with a tepid bath and some tylenol. It was 102 when he went to bed and 100 when I checked on him in the middle of the night. This morning he woke up and was cool to the touch. I gave him some cold milk and brought him to bed with me to snuggle. So he is snoozy snoozin... the girls are watching Higglytown Heros and DS12 is going to school ( I also had to get up early to check the weather- we were supposed to get dumped with snow but the system went south of us so no snow)

Ok I am going to go be the mom. I'll willl be around lots this week cause I do better when I am hanging out with you gals. See you later!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Melinda - 2 pounds! Only one to go! WOW! Nice work!

Kay1 - 3lbs! You're staying nice and consistent! They (whoever they are) say that's the best way to go! Congrats!

Twinkiwmama - you crack me up too! I love it when I come across one of your posts! Hey up 3... could of been worse. It's a new week so start fresh! Tough time of year to be losing weight... Glad to hear the baby's temp is back down...hopefully he'll be up and running around again soon...good exercise chasing those toddlers around!

 

[Kay1]

Thanks for the special welcome, TwinkieMama. I think you deserve a special congrats for showing up and telling it like it is. Thanksgiving week is not an easy time, especially when you're dealing with illness.

Glad you kept your ribbon.

 

[UtahMama]

Ugh! My plan to flush out my body went the way I didnt want it to! I'm up 3 too after starving for 2 days of hard core flu! I am totally retaining water. I need to drink MORE. On one of the days of my flu, I was totally down BUT today is the official weigh day!

To add insult to injury, I cant add! The first week I lost 7, the second week I lost 3. Ummm? Doesn't that equal 10? Shouldnt I have had a 10 ribbon up? So my grand total is 7. I totally am fine with it because I know I didnt cheat (except for the Soy Chip incident). And I didnt excercise wednesday, either. Today is aerobics. NOT looking forward to it. Once I'm THERE, I love it.

So far totals:

PixieDust -4 (grand total -9!)
Eeyore -1 (grand total -11!)
LexMelinda -2 (7 total!)
Kay1 -3 (5 total!) RIBBON!
Twinkie (5 total!)
Utah (7 total!)

Hi Peeps,
I am down 2 big fat ugly pounds !!!! I am doing the happy dance..ye haw.

We still have no snow...not even a flurry. Yesterday morning was almost 60 degrees and beautiful. It turned to rain in the afternoon and has not stopped since. So much for Canada the great white north ! Why is it harder to diet when it is rainy and gloomy ???? I feel like eating everything in my house. Good thing I sent all the junk to my Hubby's office.

My DD 6 woke up at 3 this morning throwing up... not a great start to the day. So I was washing sheets and scrubbing down her toy cat in the middle of the night. Yes my life is nothing but constant glamour ! She seems fine now...but I am praying it doesn't make the rounds through the family.

Congratulations to all you ladies who are on the minus side this week !

Thanks to everyone ...you are all my inspiration...

So...2 ugly fat pounds GONE...13 gross, blubberly pounds to GO !

I am off to play Princess Monopoly AGAIN and to chug some more water.

Happy Birthday Valentine!!!!

So I'm down 1lb this week - that same pound from saturday - but that's 5 since coming back to the WISH boards. I was hoping for a bit more but I wasn't good with water this week so I bet I'm seeing a little bit of retention. Two days off from work really cuts into my water consumption. I need to remember to bring bottled water when I'm going to run errands all day. Food was on track all week - perhaps a little lower in calories than I'd like so that might have something to do with the smaller loss too. I'm also happy I got in 4 days of exercise. I had planned on taking a walk today but the client is visting the office, plus I'm supposed to have some team meeting at some point this afternoon, and its raining. Oh yeah and at some point I need to eat lunch.

Great job everyone. I can't wait to see the total pounds lost for the week.

 

[Shula8205]

Well here goes my first weigh in . . . I only started Monday so it hasn't been a full week, but I'm down 1.4 # !!

Thanks all of you for welcoming me!! The DIS is my lunchtime comic relief because everybody is just so funny!!! We don't have any kids yet, so I work full-time at a university and I am also a part-time graduate student (night classes are hell on a diet!). Finding time to work out hasn't really been a priority for me since we got married, but you're all so motivating that I made it to my kickboxing class both nights this week !! It's actually a lot of fun and a great workout because it's a lot of aerobics and toning at the same time because we use punching bags for kicks and punches . . . Always helps to relieve tension !!

Yep, TwinkeeMama, I'm indeed a pixie princess. I seem to have hips and ****s, but no waist!!

I guess it's time for lunch . . . A yummy spinach, tomato and mushroom salad with tasty 0 fat/0 calorie honey dijon dressing and a little bit of that Oscar Mayer pre-cooked grilled chicken on top. Please everyone say a little prayer for me . . . I'm really trying to content myself with my salad and avoid the potluck christmas party we're having here for one of the organizations I'm in !! Plus my dad and I are going to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert tonight and out to dinner beforehand, so this will be my first dinner out besides my Subway lunch and dinner yesterday since I had class. Real restaurants with beer, fried appetizers, burgers, fries and steaks are soooo scary !!!

 

[Poohbear77]

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
