DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[harleygirl]

Can I have a free pass this week? okay I know that day before yesterday I was down 1.5 lbs....so how come I weigh in this morning and I am up a lb from last week (a 2.5 gain in 2 days???) what the?

self imposed punishment for prior cookie binge- 30 min on TM/day and Broccoli AND squash and no "pure" sugar (like cookies and cakes and whatnot)

my new years wish - "magic" weight loss

 

[monymony3471]

Good Morning Peeps! It's a blessed day! Yes it is. This is the day we put the holidays behind us and forge on! We are going to slim in the new year!

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO! Blow your party horns because this is the year of the new, improved, and healthier YOU!

You are putting yourself first for a change. About darn time!

I am down from last week but only a pound. I did have a total loss before of 14, now it's 13. I am fine with that. I'm still 13 pounds less than I was at the beginning of November.

You know whats cool? We are ahead of those who will be starting their New Years Resolution on Jan 1st. We have the edge.

Keep on Keepin' On!

I think once we all hit our goals and this has been brought up before, that there should be a skinny minnie meet somewhere. Preferably WDW.

So, I'm just keeping that out their for insurance.

Make the weekend count everyone! We really are doing awesome. You can't deny that!

 

[UtahMama]

I AM UP ON THAT, MONY!!


YAY! I didn't GAIN!!!!!! I blew my nose, clipped my nails, removed my earrings, went big potty and.....got on the scale! THE SAME!!!!

I was thinking last night about the GAIN I was expecting, and NONE of the food I snacked on or tasted or endulged in was worth it! NONE! I did not excercise once during the last week so I know I'm really slowing myself down.

It's WAYYYY more important to me to get these extra pounds off and be healthy for myself!

I havent heard if WDW is offering Free Dining again this year. That is the deal breaker for us (family of 6). I do know that you can buy the dining plan. DH was looking at the cheapest deals. So we are 50-50. My basement would be built slower, thats all. I know we're going Oct. 08 with the SpongeClan. I get to be Tour Guide Barbie! Cant wait for that!

For the Recipe Circle:
I found some cheap scrapbooks at walmart but they were 10x10. They also have a new whole section of recipe books and pages and embellishments. I'm not sure how to make them work, though. One is baking (not diet-y), one is Pot Luck Favorites, and one is BBQ style.So really none of them would work but the idea was interesting. So I'm still looking at Roberts next. I really like to see the stuff in real life and Utah has TONS of stores with tons of stickers and die cuts and paper. I think I will get recipe or index cards too. I'll be utilizing my new Cricut for sure. Please do the recipe circle even if you are not the least bit crafty because I want your recipes!

For the wee-little surprise:
Last day to get in your addresses (PM me) is Jan 5th. It will be almost 2 weeks after that till you get it. You'll likey!


For all the Peeps:
Be brave, weigh in! You may be surprised, I sure was! Dont be a-scared, sweetie-bugs! We do have such a nice advantage over those starting at the new year. Mony2 you are always my cheerleader

Harley- Uh, sounds like your scale is a Lying Beach too...

Lexy- I feel puffy too. My weight miraculously stayed the same but I ate crap so I feel puffy and crappy. Interesting consept!

 

[Tinkabella]

well....not as bad as I thought, I stayed the same !!!! It's a festivas miracle . After all the grazing and chocolate popping I am really surprised. My DH pointed out that i did most of the cooking and preparing so I guess I used up some calories just on the christmas legwork.

harley: I would like a ticket for the train ! I am ready to get back on board !!!! Hop on everyone it's a bullet train to slimdom.

so...for accounting purposes....Tinkabella stays at 5 pounds down with 9 more to go. (I have another full week to figure out how to get that darn 5 pound ribbon to appear !??!@#$ )

Todays goals are:

Drink my 64 oz of water.
NO CHOCOLATE !!!!
No zombie eating
nothing "white"


Have a super skinny day everyone !

 

[monymony3471]

Just something I noticed. Husbands have been supportive based on testimony here. Very nice!

It's hard to be so honest here with the tag fairy lurking. I've already got burned once, but my you know whats got smaller. DH noticed. Of course he did!

The only way I can be so successful is to cheer everyone on! I need competition! You better work! Get going! Yaw Yaw!

 

[summersk]

I already had the binge, now I could use a hug . I hope youg guys don't mind me venting here, it definately affects my weight. As you guys know I am going through a messy divorce, and just last night HE hinted that he is going to go for full physcial custody because I am going to have to work full time through Spring and Summer, then return to school/work part time in the fall. I have been a stay at home mom for 8 years, homeschooling my oldest DD the last 3, untill we put her in school at Halloween. My little DD goes to the same Montessori preschool that the oldest went to from 9am to 12pm. I have signed up the oldest DD for the afterschool program, and have hired one of the teachers at Montessori to watch the little DD untill work is done. He won't even help out paying for those, the temp. agreement is going to mediation. Now he's talking about getting full custody so that his mom and dad (Mom carries a gun in her purse loaded with a round in the chamber and just the saftely on b/c she afraid that if she had to use it she couldn't **** it in time, Dad carries a loaded gun in a cooler with his heart pills and brags about waving it at tailgators to make them back off on the highway). Of course I have no proof of this just what I have seen and been told but of course they'll deny everything I am so scared last night I turned to food as I didn't know how else to comfort myself. I'm trying to find a job, He is yelling at me for not having a job/not contributing, but the hours I need are hard to come by. On the weight side the lying beach says I have gained 1.5 this week alone making it an even 10 pounds since this all started, I'm hoping these will come off quick as today is the last day I have to take a really high does of meds that make you gain weight. I'm having a really hard day today and trying not to show the kiddos.

Monymony Congrats on being down a pound and AMEN!
Harleygirl: A New Year is upon us, PD for your magic weight loss!
UM: I know just how you feel b/c Maddie fell from a cart at Walmart earlier this year, not only did I feel horrid, but I got evil comments from the older woman behind me. You are a great mother, but sometimes accidents happen especially to the little squirmy ones.
Pixie: YOU CAN DO IT! You have enough time before you leave GO for it girl, back on the wagon I say
COme on ladies and gents! WE can beat this thing! The cookies and candies are eaten, and the Christmas parties are over, only the New Years party left to go and that's only one night! Stay strong!

COME ON SKINNY MINNIES WE CAN DO IT, PUT A LITTLE POWER TO IT!!!!!

summersk: Please go speak to a legal counsleor. Find out your rights. Keep a journal. Right down everything that effects the welfare of your children. It's very hard for a man to get soul custody of the children without proof of the mom being a bad parent. It sounds like he is just trying to scare and rattle you. Probably all he has to play with.

Be strong and remember what you are doing for yourself is also going to benefit your kids.

 

[UtahMama]

Summer! YIKES! Sounds awful!!!


Hey, you got censored, that should make your day!!!!

 

[summersk]

I definately need to be censored I can't believe that was censored, something about getting the firearm out of her handbag? oh, well, could have said something much worse today I feel better already having told you guys what I am facing. Monymony thanks for the advice, I left a message for my lawyer this am, and I will keep a journal starting today! Good Advice
UM, thanks for the hug and the laugh, I did need that!

summersk (still laughing and that's exercise!)

 

[pixie dust 112]

Summer - you'll get through it! Definitely keep a journal of absolutely everything!

Well guys I'm up 2 lbs this am. So brings me bacxk to the total of 10 lost. I really liked 12 better! But you play, you pay! Back to drinking lots of water ...that is something I did not do this week. Also need to write everything down again so I stop grazing!

Good luck everyone!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Morning skinny minnies!

I took last week off and gained 2 lbs which brings my total loss to 10 lbs since the thread started. Some important life lessons were learned:

1. I have a "fat brain" which means that if I eat how I want, I will gain weight.... therefore I must be actively trying to lose/strictly maintaining with exercise and calorie counts in order to not gain weight.

2. Some of the stuff I ate was worth it but the majority was not... also the zombie bites will kill ya.

3. I feel better when I am exercising regularily yet I will do any thing to avoid it

4. Making good choices is NOT selfish... you must take care of yourself in order to take good care of your family.


Summer- unfortunately I have been there with the ugly custody battle stuff... it *is* awful.... I don't know you or your extended family but please remember that 1. Child support is the right of the child and it is unfair to the child to trade it/reduce it in order to gain something else (like custody time) 2. Most men threaten to go for full physical custody... most men do not actually want it and are using it as a lever to get something else (like reduced support) (no offense any Men lurking out there... this is a fact, much like gravitys effect on my figure...not good but a fact) 3. Get a lawyer! and then talk to them and listen to them... it may not be in your best interest to work full time... again I am not a lawyer and I don't know the situation but in these troubled times you need a professional to guide you because things are sometimes counter-intuitive (for example we were told to buy a house which was a huge stretch financially (as opposed to renting an apt) because it would help us in getting custody) ... anyway lots and lots of it is hard and you do need support and just someone to say " you are doing a good job mom!" but gaining weight will not help you or your girls or punish your husband! (and I am talking to myself here, not just you) You can do it!

 

[jeriber]

summer-yikes-would hate to be in your shoes right now but know that we are here for you.

Put new batteries in the magic scale and get no reading at all-guess I'll be standing in the return line at Target this weekend. Stepped on the non digital scale and it showed a 4 pound gain-don't know where that came from since my pants are all fitting better.

Did shovel a ton of snow this morning so that my day care kiddos can get to the door. The snow was two feet deep all down the sidewalk because of the way the wind blew last night. Actually feel pretty good about the unplanned but definitely needed workout

 

[DisneyObsession]

Summer...My prayers are with you at this tough time. As others have said, men generally do not get full custody. It sounds like he is threatening you in a way he knows will hurt you. Stand strong and be sure to keep at your lawyer until you talk to him and figure out what will be best for you.

UMama...We have all been there with our kids. My one DD was notorious for falling down stairs! The first time she crawled from my BR, through the hallway and "crawled" down 15 steps, hitting linoleum at the bottom. She was fine. DS fell out of the cart at the supermarket onto that nice linoleum covered concrete floor. Yes, I got looks, but I knew I was doing all I could to keep him in it. for you! Your a great mama!!

Mony... AMEN!

Now, as for weigh-in...I am taking a pass this week. I know I have gained, but really don't want to know how much, as I'll only get depressed and eat more while I am sitting here alone at work all day! So, next Friday I will have a number for you from where I was last week!

Yes LexMelinda, I DO feel bloated and puffy!!!

 

[eeyore45]

Like UM, once removed everything etc etc...

I stayed the same, and I'm not looking back, looking forward. I am planning on having pizza, shrimp, and champagne - and not looking back...

I bought a pedometer, and will log in 10,000 steps!!

 

[dismom9761]

I only have a minute but wanted to report -I stayed the same. I do feel VERY puffy but I was happy with no gain.My loss is still 11 1/2 lbs.

Summer.Keep us up to date on the happenings and I will be praying for you.My best friend just went through this and it was hard but her ex did not come close to getting her DD.

UM,you are a great mom!!My DD has fallen out of the buggy-sometimes no matter what you do they get hurt.I was questioned when my oldest was 10 mths old because he had so many bruises.He started walking at 9 mths and was a mess.

Mony,AMEN!!!Thanks for being such a great cheerleader.

Okay I slept late and have a ton to do so I gotta go...Love Ya'll....Oh yeah I would love a meet in WDW!!!Harley and I are only 7 hrs away...if I drive.

[aldisneygrl]

Ok, weighed in.....maintained! I think that is good considering that I wasn't very good this week. I did go on a walk with DH and puppy last night after the Japanese Steakhouse. Maybe that helped.

I pledge to my fellow peeps to be on my best behavior this week.

Good Luck to all!

 

[honeymo78]

No gain or loss this week and I'm very thankful for that - I was worried it would be a disaster.

We got the new car last night - yay! But some neighbors were doing tree removal this morning (thanks for not leaving a note on our door last night) and the car was covered in sawdust from the tree mulcher thing parked in front of our driveway and little tiny scratches from the debris. It's not even 24hrs old and needs a paint touch up. You'd think the driveway would be the safest place for it - I guess not :shrug: Oh and my car was on the street right in front of the tree they were removing and next to the cherry picker (again, why didn't they leave notes on people's doors either yesterday or the day before letting us know not to park there) and I'm lucky one of the big trees didn't crush it when it fell.

 

[Poohbear77]

Like I thought up 2 pounds. oh well good thing swiper swiped my 10 pound ribbon cuz it would be gone anyway

CUT< REVERSE< START AGAIN

Congrats to everyone who maintained or lost. YOU ROCKED THE HOLIDAYS

ALL OTHERS- I am right there with you. Free do-over starting today
