DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[dismom9761]

Inspired by Um's before and after picture. This is me and my gang in May-I am the heaviest one of the bunch (shhh-don't tell DH-he has no idea that I weigh more than him). I want to be smaller (not just shorter) than Dh and DS14.

I am going to try and scan in pictures from around the time we got married so you can see me at my sort of goal weight.

Great picture! It is nice to have a face to go with the name.

Jan 10 - 13 '08 is the marathon weekend.

I prefer FOOD and WINE festival time... value time. I have a plane ticket (refund) and I have a one day park entrance... (free dining made me do that!!)

So seriously, if there's a meet, I am so there!!

first I have to be a skinny minnie - I have a long way to go!!
awhile back someone posted about admiting the person in the mirror is ME, and ME is fat. I still dont grab that concept!! Its got to be the opposite of anorexic people - I look at a picture of me and CRY - I am SOOOOoooo fat, but in the mirror, huh, whatever? weird. I play weird mind games.

I am so ANGRY right now. I NEED these kids to get back to a routine.

*breath in.... let it out... oh that reminds me - Monica, want to practice the deep breathing techniques?!!!

How long is the marathon??We would be watching it right? We can cheer...

Hi peeps! It's been a good exercise day for the past week now! I don't know if I told you guys but I have been recovering from a stress fracture on the top line of my right footsie and I have been working out on it anyway with a compression wrap, but having to be careful. Finally this past weekend I started to be able to move a bit more normally, and tonight, I forgot the wrap and didn't feel a thing!!! I joined the gym near me (it has 3 locations) and have done the elliptical for 30 minutes the last two days, followed by some weight lifting ! On the other days, I have done tae-bo/karate, or Tae-bo with Billy I'm eating better, and I am on my way to a better me! I keep thinking WWPD, and questioning my choices by asking myself if eating "it" will make me feel better, or worse. I am still waiting for the job fairy, but I'm sure that she'll be along soon My clothes are fitting better, I'm drinking lots of H20, and I'm looking forward to Friday.

UM, WAY TO GO CHICKIE! WOWSIERS that's a bunch to lose in a year! You are getting so close! Keep at it, even if it seems harder that's just hindsight! You've done it once and you'll do it again!

Mousehouselover: I hope you feel better!

Monymony: I would like a sprinkle of that slimming dust please! I always thought that August would be a great birthdate, that way I would have something to celebrate EVERY month

HAPPY BIRTHDAY linda! Enjoy a cake w/ an extra helping of monymony's slimming dust!

Eeyore: I hope tomorrow is brighter! Sending you some sunshine and pixie dust Stick around, we are here for you!

Happy Wednesday night everyone! We just made it, we are halfway through another Skinny Minnie Week peeps! I don't know about you, but down here we usually have a warm Easter, and I plan to be one toned and healthy Skinny Minnie by then!!! (yep, I am not a fan of the cold even though I lived 3 years in Canada, so I am keeping happy by looking forward to Spring)

Turn up the radio, blast the stereo loud, and PUMP IT !
summers
Aires: Wow those are awesome!!!

 

[honeymo78]

wow UM thanks for sharing the pics. I hope to have similar ones to show this summer. What an inspiration. You'll be back to that after shot in no time.

WELL it's official i have full blown bronchitis but the good news is i have two medicines and a inhalor now (never used one of those ) but i have good medicine with codeine so i can sleep i just wanted to let everyone know and i will try to post more on here tommorow after my kids appts take care all and remember just keep slimming love to all

 

[aldisneygrl]

UM - All I can say is WOWEEEE! You are an inspiration to us all.

I have drunk 64 oz of water today. (Aries - you didn't even have to crack your whip at me today.) I have a jug that holds 36. I fill it most of the way with filtered water. Then I top it off with an 8 oz bottle of Kiwi Strawberry Propel. It adds just enough flavor to make the water not taste so plain. Of course I have peed a gazillion times. It is clear though, and I think that's a good thing. Oops, is that TMI?

Sidenote: Bam Bam has started something at my house. In case you don't remember, we were a foster home for a lost dog (for a little more than an hour) yesterday. Well, that planted a bad seed in my DH. He keeps running around the house saying, "Where is Bam Bam?" Well, I got on the Internet and looked at Petfinder.com and of course found some cuties out there. Well my DH calls me this afternoon, and says he is at our local shelter looking for one of these cuties. The one I saw wasn't there because it was at the vet being spayed, but should be back tomorrow.

Here's my question. You peeps who have multiple dogs, how is the best way to introduce a new dog to your family? Our is going to two in Feb. Am I crazy to even entertain this idea?

Wow! And I'm worried about bringing one more dog into my one dog two kids household.

Shadow is a medium size dog - 35 lbs. We got her from the Dog Pound as a puppy. She is very well trained. She is very friendly with people. I would say she has an alpha personality but she can be skiddish at times. She is a daschund/lab mix...we think. The Dog Whisperer had a Katrina dog on his show that looked exactly like her, and it was a daschund/lab mix. She has graduated from three obedience classes. The dogs we are looking at are small terrier dogs. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I did butt squeezes while typing this. Does that relieve me from the whip cracks?

Keep clenching.....


i think that if your dog can handle being around other dogs your fine. I wuold suggest to get a female because I know that my chihuahua is a male and he does his little male humpty dance on everything that he wants to show domiance too that he came first. Girls dont really do that. And as well if the second dog is younger it will learn from the one whos been there longer. It should adapt rather quickly.

That's what I was wondering....whether to go boy or girl dog? Bam Bam was an unneutered male, and tried the humping thing, and she got annoyed by it. Also, he started to mark his "territory" by peeing on my wall, trash can, floor, etc. That annoyed me. I just didn't know if getting a girl dog, I would deal with "divaness" (I can't say the word I really mean because I would get edited ...it rhymes with witch )

GOOD MORNING, LADIES!

This thread is smokin' so I'll go ahead and admit I skimmed a leetle bit.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYNDA!!! Have a great day!

UM....WOW! I don't think I knew you had lost that much weight previously. You are an inspiration, woman! And the senior pic....heh, heh. I always had long hair in high school but it did have an 80's floof to it. Unfortunately NOT loaded in Photobucket. Anyway, love the pics. Thanks for sharing.

Jeriber....love the pics. Glad you figured out how to post them. Way to go!

Monica.....Thinking of you. When we told Mimi I was pregnant with James I thought she was gonna puke. She pleaded headached/tummy ache and proceeded directly to her room. Now they love each other so much. I love to remind her of her reaction. Keep us up to date!

EVERYONE....Wish I could post more but have to be at work all day where DISing is strangely frowned upon. Keep up the good work. Love ya!

YESTERDAY....
Calories...1450
Water....2 litres
Exercise....2 miles with weights....and it really put the hurt on ole Melinda after not walking for 2-3 weeks. That'll teach me.

HAVE A GREAT DAY, ALL!!!

 

[mousehouselover]

Here's my question. You peeps who have multiple dogs, how is the best way to introduce a new dog to your family? Our is going to two in Feb. Am I crazy to even entertain this idea?

Since we're kind of experts at this....... 1) you're not crazy, some of our dogs are best friends and are lost without each other. 2) We've found the best way to do it varies by dog but we've been pretty successful with putting the 'old' dog in a crate or room and letting the new dog in the house, then after a while crating the new dog and letting the old dog sniff around where the new dog was. The dogs can smell each other and get used to the idea of another animal in the house. No contact at first is important if you think your first dog might be territorial. After a couple of hours allow the old dog to walk up to the crate with the new dog and let them sniff each other through the bars. Take the old dog out of the room put leashes on both dogs and let them meet face to face. You want leashes so you can keep the dogs restrained in case the first meeting doesn't go very well. have one adult sit with the old dog and one with the new dog and let them do a 'meet and greet.' It can take several days or even weeks for them to accept each other and you may always have dominance issues. (Dominance or alpha mentality is not bad, that's the way it is, one dog is the leader the other follows.) I recommend not leaving the dogs alone together for several weeks, just to make sure there's no jealousy or territory issues that pop up. Also, feed them a coupe feet apart and monitor meal times. (That's when we've had the most problems, one dog will try to see what the other one has or will finish first and think the other dish is then fair game..... ) If the shelter lets them meet before adoption, that's great because it's on neutral territory and you shouldn't have too many worries during the first meeting. ASnd te shelter staff should be able to point out thigs to watch for or give you more advice.

Good Morning all! Happy Birthday Lynda!!!

WEll last night I was fine until 3am my witching hour. I was alb eot find conviently sitting on kitchen sink (evidently DH was snacking too!) a mini kit kat and mini snickers and had one of each! Not so good!

I also learned this am that I sue probably at least 4-5cs of milk in mytea and regular sugar. SO this am I measure out 2 c milk and left in fridge for my use ofr the day (yes skim!) and busted out the equal!

TO my surprise after 2 days dieting I did not lose 20 lbs shocking yes I know I am struggling with that fact myself today!

Just a bit discouraged as this is no quickie thing and I am trying to sat postive about this, I took out the old photos and had myself a good cry! I am sure hormones are factoring in somewhere in that too!

SO I have my 8c measured out and am owrking on glass 2 so yummy!

I am a bit cranky this am sorry all! Hope you all have a lovely day! I brought my dog to meet before bringing home on neutral teritory. SHould you have a male, and you bring home a female make sure they are both already fixed or you will learn as I sadly did...male dogs mark areas to tell other males that the female is his!

Yuck yes I had to throw out furniture and my HUSBANDS STERO SPEAKERS!! i WAS THEN RELOCATED TO THE DOG HOUSE!!!!

This was taken on my 18th birthday. So, 1990, but look what the 80's did to me! My little sis in on the right. Can my bangs get any higher?!

 

[UtahMama]

FIDGE!!!! I can NOT believe you didn't lose 20 pounds in 2 days!

If you DO, let me know exactly how you did it (or what magic pill you took).
I want it done yesterday (my patience is not a virtue)

Ok, do any of you smart, sophisticated, educated, experienced, "know-better" peeps ever find yourself curious about thiose diet pills sold everywhere???? I'm curious about Hoodia. I used to like the ones with Ephedra for the energy. I totally know they arent a magical answer, BUT, I just want "help" or an Easy Button, or a Fairy GodMother.

YAY!!!! I STILL see those bangs on "ladies"!!!!
I remember when I went from BIG bangs to "FLAT" bangs how weird I felt I looked.

That is one HOT picture!!!!

UM-you should try adding an extra B vitamin to your multivit. B vitamins boost your energy and are good for you. I don't know about the Hoodia-usually those are just a scam and you end up spending lots o money for something that doesn't really work and isn't even good for you (been there-done that)

Good morning, ladies!!

I am going to my WW meeting in a bit and I thought I would stop by and say hi!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Lynda!! I hope that your day is great!!

Spongemommie-I am sorry that you are sick! I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Fidge-I hope that you have a better day today and I am sorry that all your stuff got ruined! I have a chihuahua and thinks that every rug in the house is his personal toilet.

Monica and UM-LOVE the big 80's hair! I was too young to do my own hair in the 80's...my mom did it for me and she was fond of feathering and side pony tails.

Here are my Thurs goals:
Get my 10 glasses of water in.
Go walking.
Stay in my points range.

I hope everyone has a great day! It is almost the weekend! Yay!

UtahMama: my advice would be to stay far FAR away from those "nutritional supplements"!!!!! I used to work for a company that produced them and unlike actual pharmaceuticals there is VERY LITTLE regulation involved in that industry. The conditions in the plant were so-so, but the scary part was when they would run out of one ingredient they would just throw in whatever was on hand. It was contract manufacturing so the company that they were making the product for would never even know substitutions were made!

My advice to all of you is to stick with name brands when purchasing any type of nutritional supplements, even your vitamins. Those companies have the money to ensure their product is good...the others...not so much!

Sorry, I didn't mean to rant or anything, but that company left me with a very bad taste for that industry!!!

Keep on slimming ladies and have a great day!
