DISappearing Peeps...Vol. 3! All are Welcome!

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Hi all

I won't be weighing myself again until January! Sorry, just call me chicken! The party / food season has only just started and I am already 4lb up, I'm very depressed but also out of control . . . I dread to think what the weight will be after both Christmas and a vacation, but I'm not going to watch it getting there!!!

I am very depressed about my current weight, so I imagine when I finally weigh in on Jan 2nd you will hear the scream all the way across the Atlantic!!

Check out what I'll be doing all night!! DARLING-father-in-law is playing Santa at our church Christmas party this weekend, and has grown out his beard for the event, which needs to be bleached. This article is not of him (obviously) but it's fun to peek at the progression of this huge process.

Say a little prayer for me to not kill him as he tends to drive me crazy(er). I will be practicing LaMaz breathing during the entire event. Wish me luck! ((No, really, do pray HARD for us! LOL!))

Good luck!

 

[::Snow_White::]

I completely forgot it was weigh in!

Ughhh. I'm +2

Lame of me. I went out to eat three times, not by choice but I was hungry. I was almost in my goal three digit numbers too! Oh well, better this week. I'm definately back on fully my diet since I haven't ate too well this week. Plus I haven't had time to exercise until lately so I'm off to exercise!

WHERE IS AARON AND DAWN????? Do we need to send in the marines???

I know I have seen Dawn on her Pre TR thread but I haven't seen Aaron anywhere. I was thinking about him yesterday too.

Sending the Brownie Scouts out to look for Dawn and Aaron!!!! We NEED you both!!!!

I appreciate the concern! But honestly, I've sort of been, I don't want to say embarrassed or ashamed, but I guess more reluctant than anything else to post because I haven't really been all that Peepish. I'd tell you how much I've gained (or hopefully haven't gained), but I haven't stepped on a scale in almost a month. I'm snacking too much and I haven't exercised since early November. This is by far my most difficult stretch in the almost two years that I've been rededicated to losing weight. Heck, I've even taken myself off of the Christmas challenge (the first time I haven't participated in my own challenge since I started it for Thanksgiving '07). And I know, that is all the more reason to be here for the support. But outside of the snacking, a lot of unavoidable things have been coming up. Business lunches, dinners, trips, etc.; holiday (both Thanksgiving and Christmas) parties; lending emotional support to a friend in need, which included a few nights out with the boys. And I always tried to make the right choice; but when your choices for dinner are ribs, steak, broasted chicken, creamy (unhealthy) soups, chicken wings etc., even your best choices are bad choices. So that's what I've been up against. Not an excuse for not being around more, but definitely a reason.

But in case you were wondering, I have been keeping up with all of you. I've been covertly checking in on Fridays and throughout the week to get everybody's numbers; and I've been very impressed so far! One of you (Kat) has already reached her goal; and a full 10 of you are 5 pounds or less away. Very impressive! I'll try to get the full summary posted sometime soon.

So anyway, I've gotta skedaddle. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Nah! I think I'll just call you smart!

Just felt really guilty about how much I have eaten so ran 2.5 miles on the treadmill. Feel very unwell! Mental note for future . . . never run on a chocolate belly!!!!!!

But I'm still not weighing myself!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK, let's just have the goal of NOT gaining too much before we collectively have a giant re-do Jan. 1st!

Now, since we're all in this together, and we love you to pieces (like a brother), you need to keep on keeping on, got it?

hee hee! Chicken!!! You're not alone! We're dropping like flies!

It IS funny to notice how yucky ya feel after eating a yummy treat!!!! Yet, I still sample stuff! GRRRRRR!

 

[pixie dust 112]

+1

 

[dwheatl]

Down 2. That's the biggest loss I've seen in ages. All I can think is Thanksgiving gave my metabolism a shock, and got it going again. I have been following NS as close as I can, a few lapses, but never more than 200 calories a day. Since NS is about 1200 a day, I'm still keeping it well under 1500.
I hadn't seen AF for 3 months, and she showed up yesterday. I've got a heck of a headache, and I was so crabby w/my students the last 2 days. Ironically, I'm crabby because we're trying to squeeze in so many holiday activities. Ho ho ho!

Hang in there, buddy. You've done an amazing job, and this is the most challenging time of year. I know you love quotes, so here's one from Teddy Roosevelt. "Do what you can where you are with what you've got."
And that's all any of us can do.

 

[pixie dust 112]

Yup Danielle nothing like the pressure of Holiday Cheer to make you crabby! Congrats on the loss!

Aaron~ you've done so well! While it's always tough, we all have the really tough times. We're all here to pick ya up, goodness knows you've been an incredible inspiration to all of us! Let's get thorugh the holidays and then we'll all have our annual recommittment festivities in January!

Finally able to weigh in this morning. Better late then never I guess. Last Friday I was at 219.6 and today I am at 215.2 for a loss of -4.4 pounds.
After gaining for the last two weeks, I hope I am finally back on the right track!

Have a great weekend everyone!

 

[DisneyLaura]

I am -1 today! Finally some progress.

Did anyone see the sex and the city movie when they are sitting there at the end drinking cosmos and they say "Why did we ever stop drinking these? and someone else replied because everybody else did!

Now I know why I stopped drinking them 2. We went out to dinner last night and I was drinking cosmos like it was my job and was soooo trashed last night it was ridiculous!

We went to a comedy club afterwards and drank some more I knew I was done when the comedian on stage looked like he had 2 heads.

My poor husband had quite a project on his hands last night I was a complete drunk hot mess. He took care of me, if he would of taken me home after dinner he would have gotten some the comedy club and the cosmos there just pushed me to the point of no return.

p.s. I am "Never" drinking again the room is still spinning but I got up and was able to weigh in

I know feeling that drunk doesn't feel good, I can't remember the last time I felt like that so I'm sorry.

I so want to go back to the city and see the Christmas decorations (I haven't seen them in a looooooooooong time (maybe 12 years ago). I really want to go with the kids and do a carriage ride through Central Park but DD3 has be a little older I think for the city. I loved the city when we went in October (remember for our anniversary). Have fun and take a lot of pictures for us. Did you see the tree lighting on Wednesday on tv?

I did too!!!!! I'm officially -2.4 this week! *high five*

High five

I'd love to go to New York this time of year (or in the Fall). The farthest east I've ever been is Florida. Does that count?

I think Christmas time is better, not really a lot of fall decorations to speak of. We were just there in October. And no Florida doesn't count, you need to come to New England than we can have a DIS meet here.

I'm +2 lbs. this week. My Nursing 203 final exam is Tuesday and then it's only 1 semester until graduation. Yay!

Sorry for the gain, but yeah on only 1 semester until graduation

WOW. Now that's actually quite cool that your FIL would go through all that trouble. But pixie dust for you

Aaron - please just post I know that when I was in a slump (about 3 months ago), gained weight, lost weight, gained weight, gained weight, lost weight. You guys were the ones that helped me, that understood where I was coming from. I think even just talking helps, at least it did for me. Hang in there bro

Finally able to weigh in this morning. Better late then never I guess. Last Friday I was at 219.6 and today I am at 215.2 for a loss of -4.4 pounds.

You go girl

Oh dear the kids are fighting today

 

[mousehouselover]

It's been almost 2 weeks since I've checked in. I've been chalenged and tempted and I've lost a few battles. The overall results though are that I'm dead even. I gained but lst it all so I'm the ame as I was 3 weeks ago (My last psted WI.) I haven't recommited exactly but I've been on dwlz.com (a good WW reference) and looking at areas I need to improve. I've enjoyed my sessions with the trainer, I just wish I could get back to the gym more often.

I have so much to do. I have t get my Christmas things done, my room needs a huge cleaning, I have to submit my receipts for my flex spending acct (I HATE not having a swipe card for it.........) and I'm going to WDW next week. I'm going to try to meet up with Monica and maybe Dawn too.

 

[missnarwhale]

I was so caught up in things that I forgot to weigh in!

As of today, I am a samer.

It looks like everyone did a great job last week! Everyone's exercise routines are starting to wear off on me I think...

 

[the Fidge]

Hey all you Peeps new and Old! Well it seems during my absence from this thread I have packed on all the weight you folks were losing.

I have come to (I pray) a decision and an action this being one of them. Back in November I prayed to do a bit of growing the spritual kind, only problem was I grew in my seat instead.

This year has been full of some real painful yet graced moments. Sadly, I focused on the painful parts rather than the blessed parts. So doing what I know how to do when I feel something uncomfortable I have ate every awkward moment to find more pain in my actions.

SO that being said I am back ready to be motivated by the Peeps and share in each others achievements and struggles.

I pulled back from here because I did not want to tell you all how lousy I felt and yup rather than get some good kicks in the seat to do something postive with the pain. I ate and ate and sat and sat and cried and cried some more. Kleenex has banned my purchases and I think the donut man is on to me!

Sooo here's my deal at 5' 4 1/4" (by the way or weigh lol I think the measuring tape shrunk I was 5'5") I weigh a light and lovely 238 lbs. what a visual! My ideal goal would be 100 lbs lost but would be darn skippy at 150.

The doc gave me a risk factor of 8.9 for heart attack out of 10 after near losing hubby last December to one and lost my Dad in April to heart issues I think tempting fate maybe overdone for me now.

I got my papers for the local walking program sponsored by the hospital in the schools at night. So I am commiting to 20 minutes a day of some form of activity.

Would love to hear about everyones progress and challenges and tips.

 

[mousehouselover]

Fidge!!!!!! I've seen you around but I've been missing you and your typos over here. I'm glad you came back! I know about regaining everything and packing on even more.

You know the drill, just stick with us..............

Welcome Back to the Peeps!

We are here for you! It sounds like you have been through some trying times

 

[UGABelle]

Hi Peeps! Sorry I didn't get a chance to weigh in till now...I kept meaning to sit down at the computer this weekend, but it just never happened.

I'm +1.6 this week. I'm not happy, but oh well, what can you do.

I'm just going to try and do my best through the holidays! Hope everyone has a great week!
