DISappearing Peeps...A fastpass to THIN!

[grumpyyoungguy]

A MAN??????
wait, let me apply more lip gloss...

WELCOME!!!!!

My DH is an unofficial peep...and he's lost more than ME!
Warining: When women get together, they tend to gravitate towards girlie-problems. We have VERY sophisticated CODE system when we talk about girlie-stuff. So if you are reading and something doesn't quite make sense, it's probably regarding our periods, uteruses, tampons, menapause, manarputz, and various other female maladys! My DH just skimms through that stuff.

Oh, for your initiation, you'll need to post a picture of yourself in a swimsuit, preferably a recent one . Dont worry, we ALL had to do it....

Good you two are doing this together!!! You got each other's backs. If you see each other about to cheat, you can run across the room and knock the offending "cheat" out of his/her hand! YES! That's a GREAT idea


Welcome!!!!!! Glad your here!!!!

OHHHHH there is NO WAY you want to see me in a speedo Thanks for the cheating advice and the welcome. I am signing off for now I have to go be with my grandmother whois 83 and laying the heart institute. I will miss you all today.

Guess what... Still cant commit... but hubby is trying to figure out how we can take the girls on a DCL in October this year... then come to the Peep meet just the 2 of us... we havent been anywhere alone since our 10th anniversary in 2000. OMG that would be AWESOME!! then we could spend time with you... but we are looking at the possibility if staying like 4-5 days!!

oh and by then I should have gone from to

No turning back now... you're so THERE!

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.

I'm not a runner, either. I know I can walk it, but I'm setting a goal to run at least some of it, and get my mile time down before then!

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.

Hi Dene and "Wonderfully weird" - I like that! I'm embracing my weirdness even as I type

Ok.....I wanna be a peep too mommy......just kidding....


Let me introduce myself. I am the DH in Bee's picture. I love to tease and have fun.

I have already lost 17 pounds so can I get in on this disappearing thing? PLEAAAAAASSSSSEEEE?

Grumpy! 17 pounds?? That's fantastic!

Good Morning DISers! I just found out about this thread! I guess I have a lot of catching up to do!

GMAX!!!!! Ok, the party has officially started You're gonna LOVE it here! Ditto - don't even try to catch up, just jump on in - I just signed on to find 6 unread pages We're chatting away the pounds...

UPDATE:
Not only did I keep my date with the yoga mat last night, I prefaced it with 10 minutes on the TM

I need to take my own advice and set some real goals, so here goes:
Lose .5-1 lb. per week through calorie reduction and exercise
Lower my mile time (I'm not sure what a reasonable time is, so I need to do some figuring on this one! I'm currently at just under 20 minutes )

Have a great Tuesday all! YOU LOOK MAHVELOUS!

Guys, you're gonna just LOVE Glenda!

Morning Peeps . . . I definitely need a pick me up or some motivation today, the Buckeye state is in mourning today . . . No offense to the Gator fans, but who would thunk it?? Needless to say, maybe I saved some WW points by only having 2 Corona lights . . . The party kind of came to a dead halt midway through the first quarter, maybe I should have been doing those sit-ups everytime Troy Smith got sacked!!

I think giving up football would be good for my diet !! The Buckeyes went undefeated only to get blown out in the national championship and my DH's cousin got fired by Alabama (he was the head coach). No football means less beer and less depression !! Now if only I can convince my DH of that.

Well I did the stairs again today and hope to do 30 minutes of tivo'd aerobics when I get home from work. Keep the motivation coming!!

 

[S.Poppins]

Glenda! I am so glad you are here! Now the fun can begin for real!!

Utah What is a maraputz or whatever you said?

PrincessV And think of all the calories I will consume on the DDP - I had better jog around the world.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Welcome Glendamax! So glad to see you again! I loved your trip report!

Welcome Grumpyyoungguy aka Mr. Bee! You seem like lots of fun and we are glad you are here!


No other news- I just stop by every day while I eat my breakfast for a fresh dose of motivation!



Just keep slimmin'

We will be praying for you, Bee, and your grandmother today. Hope the surgery goes well. Please keep us posted on her progress.

 

[UtahMama]

Ok, I'm all caught up! I'm exausted!
Gotta get my kids ready for school.
Where is Monica?I'm worried!

Dont you just love the start of a new day?
Haven't cheated. Haven't strayed.

Let's have a terrific Tuesday!!!

I've been wondering that. I told my DS (who is a big Alabama fan) that there was a DISer with the name of Shula, and he asked me if you were related. Now I can tell him YES! Now maybe he won't think I am so crazy for Dissing all the time.

I am not a football fan, but I don't mind watching it. DS got his love for AL all on his own. Actually, I think it was inspired by the teachers at school. They make the kids choose sides when AL plays Auburn. My DS was sorry to see Shula go.

Now for the motivation.....Get up and get moving, you can do it. We are all skinny minnies here!

 

[UtahMama]

Hmmmmm...I just had a MonyMony sighting...over on Nebo's TR.
So, she's alive!

Aldisneygrl: Thank's for the pick me up!! We were all sorry to hear that Alabama wasn't retaining Mike, apparently the pressure to beat Auburn was just too much!! But I've gotta say, you've got some crazy football fans in that state . . . I have family there as well and I think u chose either the Tide or the Tigers at birth!!

Yes we do have crazy fans! I grew up in GA, and I thought the GA - GA TECH rivalry was big, but it doesn't hold a candle to the AL - Auburn.

What is funny is that two of my DH's siblings went to Auburn. DS didn't care, he was going to root for AL. Gotta love those independent thinking kids!

Now watch what your eating! Don't put that candy bar in your mouth....Hand it over! (J/K)

for MONICA (all other peeps cover your eyes)

I have the sovereign cure for all-day-sickness! Taught to me by a pre-natal nutrionist. It really works.







Trust me.







Potato chips and lemonade. You have to eat them together... slowly... the more sour the lemonade is the better (I eventually was just putting in like 1/4 cup sugar for 2 quarts).... the combo of sour and salty does decrease the gaggy feeling.

This got me through my twin pregnancy... I was puking an average of 56 times a day! (I also got some anti-nausea drugs to help me through the first trimester) I was sick the ENTIRE time.

 

[eeyore45]

PRINCESS V you get an A+ for quotes, and catching up!! Thank you - and "what she said everyone"

I am now in the boat of I dont have time to write everything I thought as I was reading the 5 pages... know I love it here, you all are an inspiration!!

Shula - A celebrity!!! and I thought of you last night as I saw the score - I can commisserate, I'm a Bears fan, last game Bears vs Green Bay say no more also a Cub fans, since the 60's...

comfartable... We have so many peepisms going, we ought to write a book!!

Welcome Glenda I too admire you from afar!!

Bee's dh is around - remember the wise words from UTM please, as everyone here is just a figment of my imagination, figments either dont have gender, or they're female... and my dh is also going on the program, he is a sweetie too, I posted earlier, his dad (and grandfather..) all had heart disease, and died early... I want to keep him around awhile!!

<must get a lock for our door>

I have an appointment with a Bally's Personal Trainer - FREE, thanks Discovery Channel!! 8 week program, FREE FREE FREE...

If only I can keep it up beyond 2 weeks... the difference for me seems to be that carrot - going to Disney!!! and the Peep Support of course...#6 of the 20 ways to Slim down is to "Rally the Troops" support groups, people around to encourage, to bond...



PS (see how long winded I got, and I didnt even give a SHOUT OUT!!)
*sigh...
MONICA hope you are well - my trick was Jelly Belly Jelly Beans - lemon ones!! So I'll bet the lemonade trick and potato chips would work!! Start small, jelly bellys want me to mail you some?? Our Target carries them!!!

 

[Shula8205]

Sandy: My DH is from Oswego, IL and is a die-hard cubs fan . . . so I know all about it. We somehow end up at Wrigley every summer, but I go for the Italian beef and Chicago Style Dogs!! His whole family loves the Bears as well, they made me wear a cheesehead on New Year's Eve because I like Brett Favre . . . Hey, you gotta root for someone when your home team's the Browns!!

P.S. Let me know how Bally's goes, I printed that out too and even though we're already members of our local rec I thought I might try it just for the personal trainer!! Do you just get one session free with a personal trainer?

May I just say:

EWWWWWWWWWWWW

As a fellow puker, my Dr's advice was peanut butter, don't know why and I'm not swearing by it. I was always damned if do, damned if I don't.

 

[the Fidge]

OK here I go ready got a few things to say here ...............Firstly you ladies put me to shame DH says I am a chatty typing nut! Screne sucker as DS calls it! All these pages .........I can talk but not read so fast!

ook shhh but I think I think I made the 5lb marker.....am afraid scale broke or a good shake of the bladder will go and see later! I would be delighted!

Glenda..way cool! SO glad to see you!

A guy , now wait love men but they lose weight way to fast, all DH has to do is skip one his night grazings and he drops 5lbs! It is so hard to diet around him , he doesn't understnad why its so difficult. I try to remind him his snoring wakes me up about 10X a night and I find myslef wandering the kitchen again and hwen the dogs need to be let out in the middle of the night you know what door I go out right?? THE KITCHEN!!!!

So anyway, I tried the soup family just snubbed their noses and thats ok! It is so hard to make their meals and sit with my wonderful dinner! I had a dream last night I lost the weight and was in DIsney filling my face on the dining plan too funny!

So ladies what is working for you all when its dinner time at the house with family any tips??

PROBLEM: I WANT WHAT I MAKE THEM!!!!

Graham crackers and skim milk I nibbled really nibbled on the crackers during pregnancy ....kept in car, mine and DH's work drawer , pocketbook and my parents house for visits.

Surprised DS didn't come out looking like one of the keebler elves!

When I lost all my weight with WW the first time. I would fix their dinner, then I would fix me a frozen WW dinner and a salad. That way I didn't have to figure out points. I already knew it. Usually, I would be full with that dinner, that I wasn't tempted with their dinner.

Don't know if that will help you, but it is what worked for me.

Welcome Bee's hubby and Glenda! You'll love it here.

Today I have 2 sick boys home. Why are boys so whiny when they're sick? And one has the dreaded pink eye, which means they will all have it. I've lysoled the whole house. We seem to get a round of this every year. Have you ever tried putting drops into a screaming and struggling 6 yr old? He suddenly turns into iron man! I spent most of last night up with him and then let him take over my side of the bed and I slept on the couch! But I was good and didn't eat the chocolate raisins that were calling my name.
Have a great day peeps!
