DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[Kay1]

I guess I'm the opposite of you, UM. I show a two pound loss on the scale but don't see it in the mirror. I measured my waist ( my problem area) and it's the same as last week. The scale only tells part of the story, that's for sure.

Well, congrats to all of us who tried her best to follow her program during the season.

 

[Tinkabella]

GOOD MORNING,

Pixie Dust- Don't you just love when that happens !!!! It is proof that you are "transforming your body". Last week my MIL said that my face looked thin.... I jumped up and hugged her !

Well...it must indeed be the one pound week. I am also down a pound bringing my total to 4 with 10 more to go. (How I lost a pound after my PIG OUT in Toronto this week is proof on devine intervention) I have already prepared hubby that as soon as that 10 pounds is gone I am hitting the stores.

I also love skinny cow but our costco only carrys them in the summer.

I finished my linen closet...it is a thing of beauty !!! I ended up folding my sheets and then rolling them. Looks nice and neat.

Congratulation to everyone who is down this week

Keep drinking that H2O

Weighing in today i have lost the 2 pounds I put on in Disney Paris. Congratulations to all who have lost some and keep going to all those who have only maintained or in this difficult time of year put some on.
I am not looking forward to the weigh in the week after next.

CHRISTMAS TIPS!!!

My DH bought DS some Hershey's Chocolate Mint Candy Canes...and they ROCK! If you have a chocolate craving...go get some. They are only 60 calories each and if you break it into little bites, I think you could make it last a lllooooonnnnggg time.

Here is a really fun web site called Elf Yourself that DS and I played on yesterday. It's hilarious!

Ok, I just found this thread. Can someone fill me in? (I found it on UM's highly awaited updated trip report!) Thanks!

Welcome aldisneygirl!


The deal here is that we meet to share our goals and cheerlead one another as we make positive life changes in the areas of health, exercise, and nutrition.

Everyone does whatever "program" or goals they feel is appropriate and we weigh (and/or measure) on Fridays.

This is a great group of upbeat people and while we may fall "off the wagon", we pull each other back on!

Thanks to Utahmama we are a group of people who are laughing the pounds off.

We each pick our own method of losing these dreadful pounds. What ever works for you. Then we try our darndest to make it work.

We each offer our support and encouragement. Share tips, laughs, ups and downs. Just be honest.

We don't judge. We help eachother stay on track.

Every Friday is weigh in day.

Minnie Mouse is our mascot because she rhymes with skinnie and she's a protein. (That part just kills me)

So weigh yourself, set a mini goal for next friday, and just post away the pounds!

First:

That's funny! And you rock! 1 pound gone forever!!!!!

harleygirl, pixie dust 112, UtahMama, Kay1, Tinkabella, BONITATIME you are all a bunch of losers!

My turn. I'm psyched. I lost 4 pounds. I was trying for the whole 5, but the scale was not giving me that 1 pound no matter how my feet were positioned. Something to shoot for next week. My total is 14.

I have dinner with friends tonight. WWPD (what would peeps do-reference for anyone new )? Right?

 

[TwinkieMama]

Ok- well I have either a 3 or 4 lb loss. I believe the 3 lbs and the 4th disappeared this morning so it may reappear this afternoon

Anyway that gives me an 8 or 9 lb total loss since joining this thread!

And I have lost a total of 3.5 inches on my waist!

Also I have had the happy experience of people starting to notice... for me a little compliment goes a long way


While I am happy, I really can't take credit for the loss this week... I am an emotional eater but also when I get very nervous, worried or upset I just can't eat (or sleep).... It has been a very STRESSFUL week. I do appreciate you gals- you are the silver lining to my cloudy life!

 

[PrincessV]

AND NOW, DRUM ROLL, PLEASE....
I'm down one pound....that's it for me....I'm there.

WOO HOO!! Congrats Melinda!

I'm right there with most of you... down my first 1lb.! It's still too early to be sure, but I think my new technique of leaving my diet (less some work treats, of course!) alone and just getting my butt in gear with exercise might be the key. I've been counting this week, and I usually take in about 1200-1300 calories a day. I'm only 5'1", so I guess this is probably just about right if I'm not moving much, and (maybe) spells weight loss if I am moving. We'll see.

Congrats to everyone on your losses! I know we can all get through thsi weekend unscathed!

Twinkie- Our accountant as asked that you pick a weight loss, 3 or 4. Play it safe with 3, or risk what's behind door #3 with the 4 pound loss?

YOU ROCK either way! Tell us what you're doing! Give us more TwinkieTips!

ALDISNEYGIRL!!!!! Welcome!!!! Good day to start! Weigh yourself today and next friday we weigh again. Have someone take a "before" picture for you, this is optional. Everything is optional, really. Just dont give up. There's ups and downs but we get through it all together

Ummmm.... can I phone a friend? ask the audience?


What am I doing???? well for me exercise is the key.... my kids are starting to hold me accountable (Mama! we haven't had our dance party yet today and Mama, I am only going to eat fruits, vegetables, and yucky stuff.... they have me ) I haven't been eating much but that is stress not healthy desires.

Hi all!!


Lexmelinda:

Everyone else! Love all y'all!

This has been a bad week for me! My husband is a trainer and he is now gone all week, comes home on the weekends. My mom is coming today from AZ to celebrate her 60th birthday. I have been busy trying to do nice things for her this weekend.

I am stressed because the girls wont do housework without me getting angry. I cant do a lot of yet due to the back surgery. ( I need UM to come and clean for me> ) I also always feel like the inadequate child and I eat a lot because of nerves and the fact I will never be good enough.. blah, blah, blah!

Anyway, love all y'all

 

[UtahMama]

Do I have to post what that number is? I'll be back later today, I have the preschool Christmas party today.

NOoooo. Not unless you want to! That would be very brave. And post a bikini clad "before" picture!

I can say, there's no 2's in my # and never will be. Which is make that !!!

How are you feeling BEE???? Better?

 

[jeriber]

Good Morning Everyone-good job to all those losing or maintaining.

I'm not weighing in today because of the magic scale -if I did then when the scale gets better I will show a HUGE gain next week. Let me just say that I have met my goals of water every day and taking my vitamins. Now I need to get some exercise started and I will be on my weigh (ha) to my goal weight

Have a good day all

 

[jaycns]

Well...just by starting to get more active...I have lost 1.5 pounds (that and cutting back everything in the fridge/pantry to low fat or no fat) this week. I have also increased my water and now only drink water, water with lemon or unsweetened tea. I do however have to admit a breakdown...I went grocery shopping and we have a Starbucks there....to "help" me grocery shop I got a hot chocoalte...I am scared to even think about the number of calories and fat in that one little cup...but it was good...and the entire rest of the week NOTHING else but water and tea (no sweetner) passed my lips!

It's a start...not great...but a start. I have a LONG way to go until I would/could ever reach my final goal...so I am gonna " " this minor one.

For next week I am going to add in the change of no snacking after 9:00 PM. I know, it should be earlier then that...but I really do have to take baby steps...if I don't, I fall off the wagon and then I just give up all together.

I am also going to start making sure I have at least 6 combined servings of fruits and/or veggies every day. I so don't hit that now!

Thanks for being here!

I am inspired (even though I don't post much).

WAY TO GO LOSERS!!

[honeymo78]

The mystery scale strikes again. I have either lost 1.5 - 2.5 lbs this week - I couldn't get the same number twice but everything in between. I'm tempted to go with the larger loss since I saw one of the numbers before bedtime and I always weigh less in the morning. However, I think I'll go with the smaller loss just to be safe and put off getting my 10lb ribbon until next week, hopefully.

Grats to all the people who have lost and feel healthier.

Way to go! 4 pounds ...awesome! If repositioning my feet doesn't work I try dragging the scale around the bathroom floor til I hit a good spot!
