DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[UtahMama]

I went to that CinchPlan.com and did the free analysis. Kinda cool. The web site is ultra cool with words like "delish" and "blah blah blah" but do I want to replace my precious meals (two of them) with a shake? I've never had big success doing that. Yet I need a jumpstart. I want "magic".

UM 0- Do you ever sleep?

I guess I'm the first to weigh in. I'm down 2 more this week for a total of 12!

Good luck everybody!

WHAT????? Someone beat me to the first post???

WAY TO GO, PIXIE!!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARLEY!!!!
Here's a calorie free cake & good vibes/pixie dust samich for ya. Dig in!

Pooh & Jay....kids are adorable! Three seems to be the number for a lot of us here!

UM.....here's some info on leucine ...sounds like it not only helps with weight loss but controls blood sugar.

Danielle.....Your post about having caramel apples and caramel corn reminded me of Buddy the Elf's four food groups....candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. Those kindergarteners are like little living breathing petrie dishes aren't they? Hope you are feeling better soon.

Slept in today due to supper club Christmas party last night. Eating and exercising not going well this week so I'll check the weight next Friday and maybe I'll have to re-lose a pound or two.

CONGRATULATIONS IN ADVANCE TO THE LOSERS!

Sorry you're having trouble this week, Melinda, but you're trying and that's what counts. I had an awful and embarrassing episode this week. I was trying to cut fudge into squares for plates for my neighbors and was not up to the task. I was thinking about another irritating situation and feeling overwhelmed by everything I needed to do. Well, the fudge would not budge (sorry to rhyme but it's true).

I was angry with the fudge, some relatives, angry nobody would help me, angry the butter I'd used to grease the pan "wasn't working" and went all nutso with my knife. I had so many little hacked-up bits of fudge it's a miracle I didn't gain this week. I did manage a 1/2 pound loss, though, and learned to avoid cutting fudge when I'm ticked off and use waxed paper like you're supposed to.

Congrats on the two pounds, Pixie, and Happy Birthday, Harley.

Best of luck to all.

Pixie--

[DisneyObsession]

OK...no time to catch-up..need to get ready for work.

WI today was aweful! I am UP by 2 lbs!!! All those cookies have caught up with me. Now to try to get in exercise!

[dismom9761]

HAppy Birthday Harley!!

I'm down 1/2 a pound. Not much, but I'll take it right before Christmas! DH made white chocolate fudge last night. Yikes, is it good! At least it's so rich you can really only eat a tiny bit at a time. I'll just have to limit the times! We're headed to Atlanta and the inlaws tomorrow, so I'll probably be DISless until Tues. (The board being down makes it a little easier, there won't be 50 pages to catch up on!)

Jaycns and Poohbear77 - So glad to see some other DIS crazed homeschoolers on this board! We are on our much needed Christmas break which is why I'm able to post in the AM. I agree that it is so much work, but SO worth it. I love my little pupils! Now if I can only teach dd5 to read, I'll feel much better!

Harley - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Praying for a blessed Christmas for all my peeps! Enjoy in moderation! I'm off to do the "Hot Dog" dance with my dk's. Love that Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Goofy's dance is my favorite!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

LOL! I can just imagine you attacking the fudge! Haven't we all had those moments? Mine involved pie crust that wouldn't co-operate!

Happy Birthday Harley!!!!!

 

[eeyore45]

YES, I have attacked uncooperative food (when by myself and have no witnesses or children to scare!)
I've also cut my bangs when they wont yield to whatever style I am forcing upon my hair.

Good Times.

CONGRATS LOSERS!!!! I just know we can all get through this weekend, right? I can't hear you.... RIGHT?!

I didn't lose anything this week, but i didn't gain either, so I'm satisfied. Particularly considering my lack of exercise and intake of chocolate goodies. Ugh.

I'll be without my DS this weekend and Christmas Eve - first time since he was born that he won't be with me Christmas Eve. It'll be a tough few days emotionally, but there is one upside: I tend to lose my appetite when I'm sad! My goal is to work out like crazy and try to keep my mind occupied with other stuff - maybe I can start in on my reading for the upcoming semester? - and my body too exhausted to stress.

Wishing you all a very happy holiday weekend!
-V.

And harley!!!

WE MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!

It's not the same without you!


Good Job on the 1 pound loss!!!!!

My scale seems to be BROKEN....NO Change!!!!! No. Freak-in. CHANGE
I am really gonna replace 2 meals with a protein shake, except for Christmas Eve and Christmas day. DRINKING my meal would not be suitable to celebrate the baby Jesus.

Which reminds me, the prayer in Ricky Bobby Talladega Nights is the funniest thing ever! "I am contractually obligated to thank you, baby Jesus, for Powerade in every prayer". His wife "raises the roof" during the prayer with a "WOO!".

And his kids are named Walker and Texas Ranger (TR for short)!

Good Morning Peeps!

I have been faithfully reading along. I loved all the introductions! Anyone who hasn't done one yet... please do!!!! So neat to meet so many people in the same boat so to speak with so many different challenges/blessings!


All day yesterday I thought of Thursday as "Broccoli Day"


and now to the numbers (hushed silence and drumroll please):


This week I have lost 3 or 4 lbs for a total of 12 lbs.



Ok for the official Utahaccountantmama: the first week I lost 5, plateaued for a couple of weeks, last week I lost 3 or 4 and this week I am down a total of 12 lbs from the beginning. So if my math is wrong, by all means, fix it... pleaseandthankyou.

And for all the peeps who want to know what I am doing...
well I cannot reccomend my diet plan: STRESS
But at least my "skinny" jeans fit now.

 

[Bee]

Twink!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning Peeps!
Still having trouble with the scale-needs new magic batteries and Walmart was out of them.

Hoping to get my bio posted next week. I'm having trouble posting my picture-just can't figure that out-I think this eating better has my brain all goofy this week-it's not used to good food.

Hope everyone has a good weekend-enjoy extra time with your families.

PrincessV-thinking of you-it's hard to be without your little one-just think happy thoughts!

 

[aldisneygrl]

Ok, just went and stripped down and weighed myself. (Sorry don't mean to scare you peeps! ) Imagine my surprise when the scale said I had lost two pounds!

I did pretty good at the party yesterday. I ate one piece of cheese pizza, and two crusts of DD's pizza. I did partake in the sundae portion of the party. I only got one scoop of ice cream (normally it would have been more), one spoonful of sprinkles, shot of chocolate and caramel sauce, and a squirt of whipped cream on top.

I did eat a big salad at dinner time to help compensate for the sundae endeavor. I also tried to drink a lot more water.

You guys have been such an inspiration to me. Just what I needed. Good luck to all of you while we partake of Christmas dinners! I would like to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!

 

[Poohbear77]

Ok (enter drum roll) I am down 3 pounds!!

Sad thing is I am more excited about getting the 10 pound ribbon then I am about losing the weight(well almost)

I can only contribute my success to my fellow peeps on this board. Besides the fact that you are a great support system, I actually feel really guilty if I eat anything bad now. I know how hard everyone is working, and it makes me not want to cheat. So thank you for that

Harley- Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You

Jaycns- I feel like I have known you for ever My daughter loved the fact that you like her glasses. She really feels grown up with this pair, and goes around showing them off to everyone

Ellester- Have you tried Starfall.com it is a great website for beggining to read. We have also used Teach Your Child to Read in 100 easy Lessons with great success

Congrats to all the LOSERS this week!

And

Congrats to EVERYONE here for sticking with it loss or not

If I do not get on again before the holidays..

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!! LOVE YA!!
