DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[Bee]

Bee - I am in the same boat as you with respect to needing to lose a LOT of weight. I have been motivated by all the great tips posted here about breaking the big number down to more manageable goals. With support both here and at work, I think I have better odds this time around.

We are in this together!!!!

 

[Bee]

Yup...there's always a deal. I'm flying my family into Orlando on March 31 for 59.00 each and home from Tampa on 4/10 for 60.00 per person. Can you imagine $119.00 round trip over Easter Break!?!

I can never find deals that good... I even will pick from 2-3 different airports.. and will drive up to 2-3 hrs just to save money.. I live in Omaha.. and will fly out of Kansas City or Des Moines if it saves me money.. Guess whewe are ready.. I will have to have help from you ladies to help me save... and lose.... lol

MINNIE-MOO!!!!

welcome to the peeps!!!!

I am so glad you are here! I think you are onto something with setting small manageable goals. I also second the earlier suggestion to measure as well as weigh.


I think I am gaining this week... my body is not happy with the big drop last week. I am hungry all the time. But I am concentrating on "sustainable life changes" and enjoying having met my other goal of 'having my smallest jeans fit every day'.

WWPD?


ETA: If anyone is charting airfare deals- I fly out of Kansas City. I am not planning on going to the peep meet but I do want to keep my eye on your plans- just in case we win the lottery or something.

MOOO! I've been waiting for you!!! We need you!
Welcome Back my friend!!!!
I just let out a big WHOOOOP when i saw ya!

That is why I threw it away. I took a couple of bites, and realized I could eat all 8 pieces if I didn't watch myself. I told myself that it isn't going to hurt anything to throw it away. Although, it was very hard to do. Once I did I felt so empowered!

I just casually mentioned about how all of you are meeting for the Fun Run next January to my DH tonight. I didn't get an absolute NO, so it my be possible. I know that DS has to run the half mile every Wed. for PE at his school, which is very conveniently located right behind our neighborhood. I asked him what route they run for the half mile. He got on Google maps and showed me. If I run that like 12 times, that would be close to the 3.1 miles. It would be a great goal. Plus I told him he could join me. Remember his NY resolution was to get stronger, and this could be a way that we could work on our goals together.

Now you have to realize I am NOT a runner. I get winded very easily. I am willing to work on this if it means I could meet all my skinny minnie peeps in WDW. I can do it. How can it be any different than trying to run across the park to get a Fast Pass? DS, DD and I ran from the Swan & Dolphin boat ramp, through the Boardwalk and to the back Epcot entrance when we were there in October. Long story that will be in my TR once I get it started. It couldn't be any worse than that. I was about to die, but we had to get into Epcot before it closed, and the boat driver told us we wouldn't make it when we left MGM. We were trying to beat the crowds after Fantasmic! Next time I will wait in the long line for the bus I tell ya'.

I forgot to post to this!!!

I am NOT a runner. its those dang sistas

Remeber we have 3 hours to walk 3 miles - I am a 20 min a mile runner!! back in college!! I was skinny then!!

Thanks, Marita, Twinkie and Bee!!! And UMA!

I LOVE the positivity here. It is something I struggle to find daily. I know I can always get a dose from Uma, Eeyore and many of the other regular peeps.

I thought of everyone last week at WDW when I saw Dory in the Nemo musical (which was excellent!) and the Nemo clamshell ride -- just keep slimming!!!!!!!!!

 

[dismom9761]

Welcome Minnie Moo!

I did really well today.I stayed under my calories,walked 50 min on the treadmill and did 30 minutes with the weight machines at the gym.

DH,Tyler and I layed in the floor to do sit ups together and the fiber muffins started talking to me.Lets just say we ended up more than exercising.But I think that is just what we needd... May be TMI but it was funny.

Everyone have a most fabulous and skinny Tuesday!!

BTW-I still have a good bit of my gooey chocolate cake in the kitchen and did not take one bite.Baby steps...that might have been a giant step though...

 

[eeyore45]

Night Peeps

I just turned in one big project. I am resisting the urge to celebrate with an oreo cookie. Tonight my in-laws came over an bought KFC. I did good I ate on small breast and coleslaw. No potatoes and no biscuit! I keep telling my family to enjoy these two weeks, because after disney that is it! I am thinking about joining the WW website, anyone know about this?

One project down and 2 more to go Maybe I will start packing tomorrow to get in the spirit. The youth can pray and I will pray and pack!

Peep out!

I do not want an oreo, I do not want an oreo, I do not want an oreo!
I do want a glass of skim milk, I do want a glass of skim milk, I do want a glass of skim milk. (Anyone ever notice how milk just tastes better with chocolate?)

Well, the sistas ain't gonna be a problem for me. There's not much there to start with, and once I lose this weight there will be even less.

I believe I could walk it for sure. (That sounded very 80's didn't it....like gag me with a spoon! ) DH and I just walked the dogs for 45 minutes. We go about a mile in that time frame, so I think I could do it.

Harleygirl - I was Shping right along with you. I'm trying to get to where I can walk both dogs at the same time, but my first dog would not walk for my husband. Shadow was not seeing him as the pack leader. So I had to take her, and give the new dog to him. I am hoping I will be able to walk them both by myself soon. The kids don't go back to school until Wed., and I need to be able to do it by then. I usually walk with a neighbor after we put the kids on the bus, so I will need to be able to walk them both by then. We only walk for about 30 minutes, so I think it is doable. I have to remember that I AM the Pack Leader!

just to keep up with the posts!

I've posted before, but I'm going to actually introduce myself this time because I find that all of you are wonderfully weird... and weird is my natural habitat.

My name is Dene' (like Renee with a D) and I'll be 43 on March 2nd. I have a DD19 who is a Freshman in college. I'm a 9th grade science teacher and I've been a widow for 15 years. I was a jock in HS... in college I met the hubby who was 13 years my senior. Bad idea... I'm a stress eater and there was a lot of stress with that relationship. Afterwards, I realized I had gained an average of 50 lbs. a year for 4 years and aged by eons.

I've been bouncing in the low 300's basically my daughter's entire life... and I'm not a good influence because she's now in the 260's.

We're making little changes in our eating and major changes in our exercise... joined the Y New Year's Day. In our first 6 days, she lost 3.8. In 7 days, I lost 4.4. I made an Excel spreadsheet where we could enter our starting weight and it would tell us how much we would weigh each week if we lose 1, 2, or 3 lbs. per week.

Starting weight was 330... now 325.6.

I would love to do the 5K with everyone, but we already had plans to be at WDW from 12/23/7 to 1/5/8... first just me and DD, then my brother's family and my parents will join us. I have DVC, so maybe in the future we can book a 3 BR Grand Villa (holds 12).

Anyway, this is me, here I am!

 

[S.Poppins]

Dene! We are glad to have you with us. This is definitely a weird, chatty, fun bunch!
