DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[UtahMama]

My goals are: (like putting them out here, helps to stick too them)

Exercise daily-already done

keep the food journal-keeps me honest with myself

read this thread daily-love and need the inspiration

post positive things about others successes and encourage others when needed

Only weigh myself in the morning. (Baby steps)


Thanks Lexy for the return welcome. We had a great time. I will get things going on the trip report soon.

eeyore45: Yes there was magic!!!!!! Some very cool magic!!!!!

Yayyy! I wanna read your TR!

I think you're right about writing stuff down on this thread will make you stick to them better. For instance, I woke up in the foulest moods and did NOT want to go to aerobics. I only put forth a fraction of effort and ended up laughing with Spongie who was also in a foul mood...BUT! If I didnt say mon., wed, and fridays were my exercise days, there is NO way I would have stuck to it this long!!!!

I'm interested in WW but I really don't have much more to lose. Maintaining has always been a killer for me and I wonder if WW could help there? I'm not sure about the Zero points for vegetables, though. I can plow through the veggies like you wouldn't believe!

Kay, I think WW has a set amount of points you can eat a day to maintain weight instead of losing weight. I've maintained weight for almost a year now just loosely following the WW points by knowing what I should eat and what I shouldn't . . . I just need to follow more strictly to actually lose weight !!

Daisy77 and Zoegirl.....

Welcome! Join in on the FUN!!!!!


MY DAY, THUS FAR:

Today so far, I had a SB friendly cheese/spinach fritata for b-fast, a serving (NOT the whole bag) of soy crisps in yummy BBQ, 1 barbie-bite of candy cane fudge, another barbie-bite of said fudge, a plate of broccoli for fudge redemption , and nearly a gallon total of cranberry fake Crystal Lite (VERY good!!!). I did technically go to aerobics but didn't "try" that hard. So, I'll do my yoga dvd to relax after allowing myself to feel stressed to the max this morning...I 'll end my day with a hot bubble bath soak.


I just have to plan for a protein-ish dinner. NOTHING sounds good. But I have to plan ahead so I dont make bad choices later when I'm hungry, Know what I mean?

Wow, that's fantastic! I would love to be able to maintain. Sometimes I feel like I'm at my goal for just a few days then it's back up again. Maybe I'll consider WW online to check it out.

I'd never heard of candy cane fudge before. I just Googled it and it looks pretty easy to make. We exchange a lot of that sort of thing with our neighbors.

Zoegirl and daisy 77!!This group has been really great and I know yuo will love it.Zoegirl ,make sure you don't push too hard too early.

I saw alot of comments about WW.I love it and reached my goal last year but unfortunately I gained it all back plus some.My dad has also lost 115 lbs using WW.I agree that the best way to do it is in person at the meetings instead of online-if you can.My sister did it online but ended up going to the meetings and lost about 40 lbs.I am using points to keep up with my intake because I find it easier than points.

Well I am going to my Christmas party and hope I can show some self control.

Spongemom - you are amazing!! Thank you for sharing - its inspirational!! Good for you and UTM for gettting those aerobics in! I read in a magazine about the Weigh Down Diet being successful for the inspirational side, but more from the support/accountability to the group!!

ZOE And DAISY - WELCOME WELCOME!!! I think the more you post the more you get comfy around here!! so POST POST POST!

For WW online - and in house - I highly suggest going to
http://www.dwlz.com/WWinfoTOC.html
This is the page with all the food lists, and point values - really helpful when looking at veggies!!

DisUnc is having computer problems of some sort! I'll PM him to NAG him to come back! You guys should too! I just think he's such a fun addition! I would love to meet him "for reals".

Sandy! I love you for being "hands on" and getting me off my bum!
Currently it's a Star Wars video on tv but it'll do before I talk myself out of it!!

HELP !!!!! I've fallen and I can't get up!!!! OMG I just consumed, no inhaled 4 pieces of pizza and count'em 5 brownies - 5!!!!! What in the sam hill is wrong with me? I just hosed up 45 minutes of intense sweating at my workout this afternoon and not to mention the whole 24 oz of water that I did drink today. Sheez....there goes my 2 pounds, yep they're back - one on each thunderthigh...sorry to vent, just feel really crappy right now

failing to plan huh? bit me tonight

OK so starting over right now- I'll accept the challenge of 15-20 min of walking tonight ( although I might get sick from so many brownies- serves me right) and I won't eat anything else tonight...and I'll drink another glass of water ...

Welcome newbies sorry to be such a bummer tonight, know that my friends have been in my shoes tho and thats why we're here right? WW works for so many people, and thats what I am doing but I find it very hard to stick to my daily points.
any pointers? I need a boost

 

[jeriber]

Harleygirl-it's good that you are getting "back on the wagon" tonight and not waiting until tomorrow. We all have bad days-nothing to do but move on.

UM- you can pretend you are chasing Han Solo -that should make the walking more fun

Disunc-come back!!

BROCCOLI!!!is your punishment.

DONT beat yourself up! I've been there and so has every one of us...it was just your turn! I dont know what besides food I can turn to when I'm needing some sort of comfort????? I dont possess the rationale to stop and think at the time!

 

[harleygirl]

I accept my punishment with great dignity...will do broccoli tomorrow- i promise will make sure I run before I eat too

I think its actually "eat week" if ya know what i mean - which means the bloat fairy will visit me as well

Ok,

Today's diary:
Breakfast: scrambled eggs with peppers and cheese

AM snack: pickle spears (2)

Lunch: salad with chicken

Dinner: bed of lettuce with tossed bean salad over it and some steak.

Water: 10 glasses

I did 35 minutes on the tread mill. I also went to the dentist and had my first mammo today. It wasn't bad at all. My tag is wrong and it needs to be changed. ahem.


I love to exercise. I love to exercise. I love to exercise.
It's not that bad anymore and I am running alot too. I actually look forward to the time I have to myself. I like the headphones playing my favorite tunes at a loud level. My family knows thats mommy's time and they leave me along when I have my exercise gear on.

I like the walking challenge while sitting in front of the tv. I do it if it weren't for this laptop on my lap. Plus I'm catching up on my soaps from last week.

Wow it's great to see all the new members. What an awesome support group we have going on here.

Can anyone tell me what the new total is on weight loss? Last I read it was 40 pounds.

 

[spongemommie05]

Thanks, spongemommie for the welcome! You have a BEAUTIFUL family!
Are you in SLC? My DH is from Centerville! I cannot wait to go see the lights at Temple Square!

Thanks my kids are too cute, and my DH yes we are about 10 mins or so from Salt lake me and UtahMama (which you will get to know )

Hi all~

Welcome Daisy and Zoe! I just joined over the weekend but I already feel like I'm doing something ++++ instead of letting my weight and emotions control me.

I did ok with my eating today. I had 2 slices of toast for breakfast and a liter of fake crystal lite. I then had 2 oatmeal cranberry cookies made with splenda. One of my bosses brought them in, his DW made a ton for a cookie swap but then couldn't go so she sent them to us. They are really good and I asked for the recipe so I can try to make them.

I totally blew it after work though. I had some peanut brittle and dinner was 3 small pieces of Papa Johns pizza and 3 cheese sticks. I also had some chips and dip while reading the boards.....

I got on the treadmill today but was interrupted both times I tried. I'll have to try again later when the youngin's are in bed. I have been pretty good about walking everyday since we got it so I'm feeling pretty good. It's more than I did before and since it's in the livingroom, I can still watch TV or talk while I'm walking.

Goals for the week:
Try to drink at least 2 liters of water everyday
Work on balalncing my diet and eating more fruits and veggies
Walk at least 1 mile every day

Try to have a good week everyone!

 

[mousehouselover]

I forgot the packet of banana cream oatmeal for lunch. It smelled divine and tasted pretty good too.

 

[spongemommie05]

MHLshortened your name hope ya don't mind) i love your reason for editing .. i would hope you did not eat 22 pieces of toast

 

[UtahMama]

Daisy77!!! If you are in our hood this holiday, I'd love to meetcha! I'm sure I could get Spongie and we could walk around the Temple??? Or something? I'd love to meet you!!!!!!

Hey! You'll have to share that recipe when you get it! Sounds yummy!
Sounds like you are doing awesome despite the small-ish stumbles off the wagon...at least you dusted yourself off and jumped back on!!!
