DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[UtahMama]

Welcome AnnNan!!! You KNOW you are welcome to jump right in any time! Friday is weigh day, so have a wonderful and heatly week!

Fidge!!! We all just love you to smithereens!

AllyaAll: It took hours and hours but I just posted my next to the last chapter in 3 parts (that's like a month and a half worth!) on my TR. Pg. 110. DONT go back and read it all from the start if you havent read yet. I tried to let you jump right in and hopefully know us and what was going on. I hope you guys like!

dismom- is it your birthday? Happy Birthday!!!! Yay!!!! Sorry about your marriage tension. There's alot of that going around. It'll get better. Marriage is a lot harder than it looks! I only go stark raving mad if he's around me all the time! He works 2:30 to midnight so he's around alllll the time! Too much togetherness is not always a good thing, eh? Hope you had a very wonderful Birthday!!!

UM did you see the Diet Poopsie commercial today during football? It was real clips of players, coaches, etc, but with different dialogue about DP. My favorite was a player crying, saying, "Nobody asked me if I wanted a DP." It made me think of you.

Yayyy! I am swigging a nice refreshing caff. free diet Puppies right now! Thanks for thinking of me. I'll so be watching for that!!!

UM did you have the "fires" tonight?

UM did you have the "fires" tonight?

Those fires are just delicious! I made them in a ziplock bag (to save from washing a bowl!) and shook them with the oil, parm. cheese and spices. I had them for lunch and Dinner! SOOOO yummy. My kids didnt like them, becasue I put a pinch and a half of the cayenne! I just had them alone, but they would also be wonderful with beef and a salad. You should do that recipe for the recipe-circle thing!

Sweet Potato "Fires" are a Party in your mouth!

Lynda in your next talk to your dh, be sure and affirm his position, and ask if he can see your needs. Then, let it go until after your affirmation with the health/weight/peep meet!! I'm not sure if you were down for the 5K Jan '08, but maybe if he can see your love and determination, and know that in your heart there's room, God makes room.... Its just a feeling I got from your post, to have your talk really really focus on all the positive things in your relationship, (and you have posted a lot of positive - your relationship could've gone a much different way, but look how much love got you through...) and then let him watch you... let him observe... and I'll just bet his hardened heart will start to melt like the fat on my behind!!!

That is just what I was thinking (well, not about your behind ). I was thinking that if I make the changes I want to make in myself, it will make our relationship better, and he will see that and realize that we can accomplish anything. We'll see. I will say that I feel much better after we talked tonight. He said that he would think about it often and that we can talk about it. He just doesn't know at this point if his feelings will ever change. It seems much more hopeful than last night, and I did get the opportunity to say some things that I didn't last night. Like that I think he would make a great dad and that he should know that if we do have kids, our relationship with each other will still be a priority.

Thank you sooooo much to you all for youtr thoughts and prayers!

And to all those going through struggles, you are in my thoughts and prayers!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Wow! Thank you for sharing! When I look at your DH, I see major wonderful daddy material! Look at him! He's a great big kid He's probably just scared of not being good enough or able to support a family etc. It seems like most guys are that way. If you wait till you live in a certain spot, or make more money or graduate school or get a promotion (etc) you'll be 50 years old. Give him time. He's awesome, I can tell (not really, he just looks nice and huggy).

You hit the nail on the head UM! He is a great big kid and sooooooooooooooooooooo huggy! I think you have him pegged!

 

[S.Poppins]

Okay, so why is it on the top of our thread that we have to watch that woman take her shirt off! What does that have to do with deodorant? Do the rest of you see the same thing?

 

[S.Poppins]

Stacey....Go into edit and then click on "resize". Resize it to "avatar".

I did this, but when I went into edit your avatar on the Dis, and I entered the url for the avatar, nothing happened.

Lynda, I will continue to pray for you and your DH. This is a big issue.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Linyda - My prayers and hopes are with you! I was told many moons ago I could not conceive, it ws very hard to hear and decided to go full force at my careeer and gorw old with my cats!

God, on the other hand had a wonderfully different plan...MY DH!! I was scheduled to have knee surgery and had to get blood work prior to admissions to have the Dr call and say go back they must have made an error they have you as preganant and he was as shocked as I was to learn sruegery would be cancelled I was preganant! The dr had tehm run 4 tests, he was shocked! This was a long standing and a diagnosis given by more than 4 specialists in NY!

To my joy I gave birth to that wonderful DS10 who has filled my life with joy beyonds my wildest dreams! Dh and I had resided to the idea that adoption would be our option but God had another plan! My Ds is a constant daily remeinder of Gods great miracles!

I on the other hand became greddy and lost all 6 pregnancies after my DS I ate away my pain so no one could see the pain inside and put on a happy face! My pain caught up with me when I faced the fact I was not cherishing the miracles every day of my son but being a bit distant to everyone just enough to keep me thinking at night when everyone was snugggled in for the night. I would think of what I DID NOT HAVE rahter than what I did have. The gift of my husband the gift of my son and how I yearned and longed for what I did not have.

I am finally on the otherside of this and am in full swing menapuase Yiippee and faced my truth that I got greedy!!!! So this year I have promised myself to recommit to giving my family back the woman that my husband fell in love with and my son's mother back.

I pray you will know God's will for you and and it will be what you want too! I now have kids, I drive for school the handicapped and volunteer and if all goes well I am being interviewed for an asssitant job with the challenged students in school...will see what God thinks of that idea.

I have meet along my journey with this many ladies who have conceived when all drs stand scratching their heads but we know who is really in charge of that!!!

The strangest of all is to learn that most of our struggles are for us to teach and show someone else God's mercy! I can say that today I coudl not say that 3 years ago I last miscarried on my birthday begging and praying for God's mercy and thought he did not hear me. Today, I know he heard me and gave me all his love and lets me heal too!

I know it takes a great love of God and huamnity and a speacial perosn who craves to give their love to a child. God Bless you ! Ok I promised myself not to cry or get all emotional writing this..............NOT!!! Sorry...

Thank you so much for sharing! This is truly inspiring to me.

OH, and I did good today ladies!...
B: one brownie (approx. 400)
L/D: Chili's Guiltless Grill Salmon w/ black beans and steamed veggies (480) and chips and salsa (approx. 350)
Snacks: 2 WW popsicles (120) and part of a mini bag of 94% fat free popcorn (approx. 75)

TOTAL: 1425 calories and over 100 ounces of water (I lost track!)

I feel empowered! I had many temptations today, and I chose what to put in my mouth, and I made good choices! I don't need food to make me feel better, and I didn't try to use it for that purpose. Woot, Woot!

GOOD MORNING! (The sun is working again.....YAY!)

First things first....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DISMOM AMY!!! You look so young and skinny!!! Party time!!


AnnNan.... First post AND you're bearing flowers? Come on in and have a nice tall glass of water. Sit a spell and chat with us. Gotta work on that post count.

Lynda......Thanks for sharing with us. I hope with some counseling and lots of prayer DH's heart will soften. I think it's easy to say you can live without a hypothetical child...to see it as something that may cause inconvenience and sacrifice. As a mother of three, I must say there are truly not words to describe how you feel when you hold your own real baby in your arms. Your husband will grow a new heart that day and there will be more love in your family than ever before. You will be in my prayers, sweet girl.

Fidge......How sweet you are to share your story with us. I'm so happy that we are in a group where we feel comfortable doing so in order to help each other. Your faith and your life inspire me.

Bee......You must have posted the fires recipe on Tuesday...the day I got behind. Pretty please post again. My mouth needs a party! Also I have a great new pork loin recipe that I tried last week although not too skinny.....Can of whole berry cranberry sauce, 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 1 envelope lipton onion soup mix, and 1 small bottle catalina dressing. Mix, pour over a pork loin (in a well oiled dish), bake at 325 for 2/3 hours. Talk about a party in your mouth. YUM!

S.Poppins....I tried it and it didn't work for me either. The DIS avatar standards are 4KB and it's HARD to find something under 4KB. Do you have Photoshop or anything that will convert the file to a .gif? That would make it smaller....maybe small enough to use?

Yesterday...
I was pretty good re: calories but no water or exercise unless you count wrangling a hyperactive, cabin fever, broken arm kid into the bathtub with a plastic bag taped to his arm.....it WAS a workout!

HAVE A GREAT SUNDAY, EVERYONE!!!

 

[eeyore45]

I did okay today I guess but I didn't exactly "Kick it up a notch" like I wanted.I got up this morning and Rachel (DD2) was wheezing and barking so I had to take her to the Dr.She is feeling fine but sounds not so good when she coughs.She has Reactive Airway Disease and now is on steroids (AGAIN)for spasmodic croup.He also got to see her in action and asked some questions and said that she has some "issues" that may need some professional help if she doesn't start to grow out of it. We already knew that so no big shock there.
My daddy(and no matter how old I get he will always be my "daddy") took me out to lunch for my birthday and I ordered exactly what I wanted but only ate half.I went to the gym and did the different weigts for an hour and then did about thirty minutes on the elliptical and treadmill.
I am not feeling so great tonight-kind of depressed and there is alot of tension between DH and myself.We seem to be walking on eggshells with each other and snapping alot.
We all need to send some Harley's way she was over tonight(GO COLTS) and she feels horrible.
Bye for now...

My goodness - it certainly can and does put a strain on a relationship!! Try and {hug} more!! we're certainly experiencing our share of strains thanks to dd and her "fears"... she has a fear of being the last one to sleep, she has a "fear" of the dentist, and doctor, to the point were not welcome at one dentist! She has always been challenging, but since I know the only reason she is here is due to God's miracle, I have to figure it out, so I often pray for His guidance, peace, and strength!!!


Lynda I got a warm fuzzy feeling reading your post!!

fidgecome out come out wherever you are....

Aries I have to check my bank balance and get back to you!! Dh thinks he has until June to sign up for the marathon...

oh, and do please keep those typos coming, it makes me lol - I need to laugh!! Bee I so appreciate your spirit! esp since we've renamed the awesome treat in your honor!! Sweet Potato Fires!!

It seems that UTM is kitting nails ... not as good as fires tho!!

SPoppins You'd think if anyone was taking a shirt off we could get Orlando Bloom up there> I just have a static picture of Smee and Hook from Dreams Unlimited!!

of course your post made me

OK, I"m going to lay down, and take a 2 hour nap, dd has finally drifted off to sleep, I have a weak long headache, that I now think has more to do with the new pillows (did anyone see Oprah? get new pillows!! ) than anything else - we're testing 2... and the headache seems to originate in my shoulders this mornin... of course 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep would help a lot too!!

 

[eeyore45]

sneaking in while I'm posting Melinda!! Great post - you are so right about those babies!!

Dismom AmyHaving a birthday!! Make it GRAND!!

OOOh Look at the gif I found for Newbies!!!

(Its not the birthday gif I was looking for - but hey, I'm lookin!! )

 

[eeyore45]

Here's another goodie!!

or this one!!

hmm Minnie used to spell out welcome?!!


I really need to organize my photobucket account huh?!!!

speaking of news... did you hear about

apparently at WDW someone is complaining he "roughed up" the older son, and they have it on video!! They showed it on the news, and the newscaster shrugged and said, "It seems like a whole lot of much ado about nothing!" No one's going to want to "play" tigger!

 

[eeyore45]

PS to AnnNan have you figured out how my post count got so high??



I need a nap!!

nite nite!

 

[UtahMama]

Hey! I did hear about Tigger! Last night my 8 year old Dallen came running to me laughing and told me. He made it sound like Tigger smacked the teen!

Very Funny! Of course there's 2 sides to every story. That teen probably mouthed off to Tigger or was being naughty in some way...Maybe deserved a seat on the "naughty mat", not a smack by Tigger!

Edited to add there's tons of stories about this...I wanted to see the video. Here's a picture of the video:

[harleygirl]

Happy Birthday Dis!!!!
girlfiend I was there and felt hose eggshells, said a prayer for ya before you even posted...prob is that he is male and we all know what those male species can be like sometimes it'll get better...I just know it BORG
(did I use it right)




guess what !!! this is our week PEEPS!!! this is the week I know it we are all gonna see a loss!!!! I think some of our peeps have disapeared in the last few weeks and hopefully if they all come back we can lose over 40 pounds, wouldnt that be awesome?!! I havent seen nsalz or katinhat or minniemoo lately...should we tap them and say hello? checkin on them?

 

[PrincessV]

Good morning Peeps! It's a new day and a new week and I AM MOTIVATED! Can I have a re-do on my weigh-in?! 'Cause I'm down a pound today! Now, my short-term goal is to maintain it till next Friday.

So, about the 5K... Who's registering for sure? I absolutely want to do this, but I don't want to be the only Skinnie Minnie out there come game day! Also, even with a year to prep, there's no way I can run the whole thing, (in addition to everything else, I have exercise-induced asthma .) Any chance I'll have some fellow peeps with whom to walk purposefully?!

She started it....OK, I did. If allll woulda worked too if it wasn't for that meddling V!

Heh, heh, heh. Couldn't help myself... I've got Shakespeare running through my veins. NOT!

S.Poppins - Interestingly, endometriosis was never even mentioned as a possibility. I've wondered if that could be it, too. Nope, I'm absolutely done having kids - one pregnancy was enough for me!

I really tried to catch up this AM, but there were 9 pages waiting for me So a big shout out to all the losers - WAY TO GO! And a BIG round of for everyone facing challenges these days. Isn't it good to have a place to come for unconditional support? I'm thinking of you all, even if I can't type it all out!

Best wishes for a good week!

 

[summersk]

Good Morning All. I hope you are having a wonderful start to your Sunday. I have gotten in my exercise today by going to the track with a friend. We walked/ran for 1.5 hours (we had ALOT to catch up on as we haven't had a chance to talk for awhile).
One a separate note, I need to say goodbye I soooo don't want to leave you guys, and I'll probably lurk, but I won't be posting much if at all. It seems that while snooping for information on my computer on day while I wasn't home my husband came across this boards in the computer history log, and has since been reading my posts so where I thought I was sharing my thoughts with my fellow peeps, I was also sharing my thoughts with him, and I don't want to do that right now, nothing like feeling violated. If I have something to share with one of you I'll PM you if that's OK, and feel free to PM me Thanks for all of your words of encouragement and motivation. I feel like I am losing my friends.

Welcome Newbies, you'll really like it here!
Happy Birthday Amy!
Princess V: I hope they figure out what's going on soon, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Lynda, Bee and Dismom you are all in my prayers, I will continue to hope things work out for you.
summers over and out
