DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

Oh and

Happy Birthday Linda!

As far as the 80's hair goes mine was huge!!! I think my mother still has most of my pics of me at that age so you'll just have to trust me on that- HUGE! And I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one to have tight rolled my pants!!!

Did anyone else notice the great shoulder pads in UM's pic? I always hated those, but every shirt had them!

I have a hard time trusting those companies that make magic weight loss pills. I believe it proper diet, exercise and LIFE CHANGES that make a true difference.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYNDA!!!!!


I hope you have an awesome day! Enjoy yourself.

Sadly I admit to lovingt them, I have very small rounded shoulders and am only 5'5".

Joan Crawford look out but keep your wire hangers!!!

I was 14 in 1985. My parents didn't know but the sides were shaved and I only showed that at concerts.

Had to pop it to tell you ALL to stay away from the "supplements"


PLEASE!!!!


Mumbler is right... .also plant chemicals are powerful things... a very little goes a LONG way and no one knows the effects (remember fen-phen? yes it did boost your metabolism but it ALSO ruined your heart)....

so while we are tempted for the easy button/magic pill/genie with 3 wishes the whole point of this isnt just to look hot-hot-hot but to be heathly so we can be there for the ones we love so


pretty please with splenda on top,

stick to real vitamins, exercise, water and plain ol not eating so much!

any drug that you take simply for the "high" is abuse


Love you all!!!!!!!!!

I have a totally funny shoulder pad story. I was invited to a formal affair just a couple of weeks ago. Well being a day care provider "formal " is not in my wardrobe. Wanting to be thrifty I ran off to Goodwill to see what I could find. I picked out a couple of dresses and ran off to the fitting room. I put the first one on-a snazzy little strapless number and was pulling it up when I realized that someone had sewn THICK shoulder pads into the front of the dress . Must have been a prom dress and she must have "grown" at least two cup sizes prom night. I didn't get that dress!

I'll have to search through some old photo albums to find something from the 80's. I did have some feathered bangs in the late 80s but again I was only aged 2-12 during the 80's although I'm sure I carried some of that look over into the 90s.

The truth about diet pills for me went a little like this once agian the 80s!! They had these pills called dexatrim and they had extra strength ones too! WEll a friend introduced me to this wonder drug in high school for around that specail time of the month when my zebra string bikini had a puff lol!!!!

WEll that girl ended up in the hosppital she had a heartache at the age of 17! I have since never taken any diet supplements besides vitamins. I often see teenagers checking them out they lovelies who think 120 is fat!!!

I tell them about my friend and how if I could change anything it would be that. Yes she was skinny corpse but I would have cherished her as big as a house!

Ok sorry for that depressing rant but I am done! The fact that the fda does not endorse these products screams run for the hills!!!!

Monica,

Love the picture, and the glasses. Sally Jessie Raphael glasses is what I call them. Are you old enough to know who SJR is? I had still had big glasses when my son was born in 93! Mine were even red, just like SJR! My kids laugh at those pictures all the time. Sorry, can't post them because I don't have a scanner on this computer. Just imagine big brunette hair with wide rimmed red glasses.


Ok ladies, I am still maintaining. I haven't lost anything since last week, but haven't gained any either. This is still frustrating. Maybe a miracle will happen overnight, and 5 lbs. will magically just fall off! I can wish can't I?

Have a good day!


Happy Birthday Lynda!

P.S. Thanks for all the helpful dog hints.

I try not to post from work but....this was just too good! If I had been a bit younger in the 80's I think I would've had the same "do". I graduated HS in '81....when Stephanie was 3.

Hey Fidge,

I keep reading your name as "Fudge" this morning! Can you tell where my mind is?

UM - Stick with the old tried and true method of healthy eating, water drinking, and (ahem) exercise. You want to be around to see all those cute little kiddies grow up. We love you, and want you to be the healthy leader of our wonderful little group here!

 

[harleygirl]

I must confess that as early as this weekend I was looking for a Magyk pill to shed 35 lbs overnight. and I considered taking a drug called Adipex that I had been presccribed whenI went to see the fat dr a few yrs ago. SOO I looked it up this time like a smart cookie and guess what!! Adipex = amphetamine = speed

How can I expect my kiddos to stay away from drugs and not do so myself? Shouldn't I practice what I preach? If I cant stay away from diet pills and do this on my own, I'd rather be overweight, then on something that may take my life!!!or at least make it shorter

So I started taking vitamins instead...B vitamins with more B12 to be exact

WE CAN DO THIS DRUG FREE LADIES!!!!

am outta here to lurk as I could get into big troubl;e being on here at work catchya later!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Thanks!!! It's stuff I already "KNOW" of course. Even if (and that's a mythical IF) they worked, they are WAYYYY too expensive for my budget. It's bad enough buying the Costco Vitamins...which may have the placebo effect becasue I always feel so good and healthy when I pee neon!!!!!

I gotta hurry, because I have to go to the girlie Doctor for a weird pain I have in my right ovary area. Plus do all the papsmear exam stuff. I have to go get weighed on a real scale fully clothed in my winter's finest...which I'm not looking forward to. I'll probably just look away and tell her not to say it outloud!
Denile aint just a river in Egypt!!!!!!


IT IS SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!! Yayyyy. It's BIG flakes like doilies from heaven!

 

[UtahMama]

Happy, Happy Birthday BayBee!!!!

Hope Your Day is as Wonderful as you are!!!!

Lookie!!! Minnie Mouse Made You a Cake!!!!!! (NO calories, eat all you want!)

[Disneyland_Mama]

Good Morning, Everyone....

Just checking in and reading all your fun posts!

Happy Birthday to the birthday girl! AND Congrats to the new mommy to-be!
Yes, I'm just catching up!

Today is my 3rd day on the wagon. Yeah!!!! I have not cheated once. I have not touched one chocolate covered cherry!!! I have a problem with chocolate cover fruit!

I checked the scale and I'm down.... 1/2 pound!!! I'm doing my best, but why is the weight not melting off, like it should???? A little frustrating? YES! Realistic? NO!

You girls are my inspiration, esp. UMama... I saw the before and after pics and thought "No way!" and joined the jaw dropping group. Good for you, girlfriend.

I hope everyone has skinny day today!!!

 

[the Fidge]

AlDisnygirl - right wiht mine in the fudge- lets get fruity instead heres a banana to you!!! Cheers!

Harleygirl - so proud of you its real easy to give into the quick fix idea but like anything else that gets fixed that way it comes at a big price! Just look around at my house and DHs quick fixes!!!! It is amazing we have not drowned or had the roof fool in or some other calamity!

Utah - I always turn and look shocked at the girl and say that scale is broke I just weighed 110 last night, must be I am blotted today!! The looks are PRICELESS. It is usually a gal who weighs 90 lbs weighing me too!!!!

Aries-- thank God oyu made it this morning I was not feeling very inspired yet! SO I raide my glass of H2o to you and do 10 situps!! I think I hurt myself again!!!!!!

Disneyland Mama - I am with oyu all the way after 2 days I was very shocked not to see a weight loss of 20lbs - scale must be broken or I am jsut bloated from all this water!!!!


Ladies I had given serious consideration to the the belly band surgery but I am glad I opt'd out. I think doing it with you wonderful ladies is more satisfying and I will know there is nothing I cannot do with friends!!!!


Thank you!

How many of us haven't tried diet pills?!?

I admit I still look at them once in awhile for that "miracle" pill! Funny thing is, it doesn't exist! I just need to cut back on food and exercise more and I'm all set! (Of course, it's harder now that I'm over 40!)

Monica...I'm looking at your pics and all I could think was, "In 1985 I was married, with 1 yo twins!" (I graduated 1980!) My pics of the 80's are SCARY!!! (Huge glasses & fuzzy permed hair!) Don't think I am brave enough to post those!

I have been doing great with food for the past 2 days and am determined to keep it up. My sister and I will be holding each other accountable to dieting, as her daughter is getting married in June & mine is getting married in Aug! I figure 5 lbs a month is doable and will get 30 lbs off by June! I really want to be healthier and in better shape for these weddings!

36 oz of water down......36 oz more to go! <CHUG...CHUG!>

Hey ladies!! Look - single digit dance 9 more days!!!

I went to my arthritis dr. yesterday to get a shot in my back for WDW. When I got on the dreaded scale I had not gained or lost since before Christmas. I was very glad to have not gained considering the great food we had at my family's Christmas gathering!

So as soon as we return from Disney my family is going to undergo a healthy lifestyle change. My DD is about 40 lbs. over weight for her size and age. I need to lose about 35 - 40 myself and my DH needs to lose about 50 lbs.
What are some of your best tips - the things that have helped you the most? What do you recommend with my 11 year old? This is such a touchy subject with her. She hates the way she looks and feels, but dieting and exercising is hard. I hate to nag about it and make her feel worse or make her too body conscious (sp.?). That is why I want to do this as a family. And I don't want to do unrealistic dieting that cannot be maintained. I really want us to make a lifestyle change. I am trying not to even call it a diet. I do not want her to feel like a failure if she messes up or does not lose quickly. So any advice?

Does your family bike ride? We love to ride and the kids don't know they are exercising-they just think it's fun. If I told them it is good for them they would probably quit.
