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

[dwheatl]

I really don't want to post my weight today, and I could blame my scale because it was giving a range of 2 lbs, but it seems to me I did a little preaching on here a while back about posting no matter what, so here I go. Up 1.8. I had 3 parties to go to this last week, plus food gifts galore. However, it's the stupid stuff, like 2 chips ahoys today because I was too busy to peel an orange, or pigging out on leftover tortilla chips, that frustrates me. So thanks LMO, for talking abut the all or nothing attitude. Just because I had peppermint bark doesn't mean I have to eat crummy leftovers as well. I'm committed to doing better tomorrow, and hitting the gym too.

I am not posting my weight. I am throwing in the towel until after next week. I'm so disgusted with myself. And today is the company xmas party with excellent catered Mexican food. Not like that stuff isn't loaded with fat grams.

I was 3 lbs from my goal weight and have now gained back about 10. At my age, the weight comes off so slowly so I hate myself for the amount of work I am now going to have to do.

And in one month and one week I will be forced to put on a bathing suit on that cruise. Dang it.

Don't be too hard on yourself. What would you say to a friend who is where you are right now? That's how you should treat yourself. We can be so harsh on ourselves, and it doesn't help. Cut yourself some slack, do the best you can, enjoy the fun things like the Mexican food, and make the healthiest choices possible when you can. And if you need someone to take your place on that cruise, I'm just a little over 100 miles away. I'm the logical choice. Pick me!

Guess whose lap I sat on today? Santa came to see the kids and bring them each a little wooden car he had made by hand. When I went to give him a hug, he pulled me onto his lap. Good thing I've lost a few lbs.

I'm glad your mom is doing better. My dad just moved out of the Cardiac Critical Care Unit yesterday, and they said they are shooting to try to get him home before the New Year. Sure hope the same happens for your mom.

I think you totally hit the nail on the head. It's amazing how one small change can make a difference, and often that can start the ball rolling for other changes to come easier. I'm not quite sure what mine will be yet... but I sure know I'm ready for it.

Still helping out dad and not back home to my scale yet. My mom's scale said I had lost 8 lbs. when I got here just from the plane ride, so I don't trust it. I should be going home Sunday, so if it's ok to post then I will... otherwise I will wait until next week.

Happy Holidays to you all this weekend and upcoming week, and enjoy your vacations and your families!!!

My prayers and hopes for all the families. I heard on Oprah from WIll Smith a tiny treasure that is hlpeing me alot these days. My Dear father left this world for a better one in April. It was out of the blue. What he said was every loss is a chance for rebirth of ourselves.

I am giving up the cigarettes and comitting to a healthier outlook. My Dad never smoked or drank and lived to 82. He lived the longest od his famiy the tickers not the best. I need to do things to improve my life. After my physical I was not shocked to hear I am not in good shape. I saw a pic of me last month and I didn't know who I was.

I am taking some very healthy steps to getting some control again of my outlook, attitude and actions I take.

Here's praying for a healthy new life for us all this year, lets make it a good one.

BTW I am planning to hit WDW in June for my birthday and would love to not be shopping in the big girl department with all the sadly tacky clothes! I got fat I didn't lose my mind and wearing a big cat on my shirt is just too wierd for me!

Glad to hear that your dad is getting better. Mom is scheduled for an arteriogram on Monday. So we still have to wait on the results from that to see what needs to be done but all in all she is much better- right now just trying to get stronger so she can go home.

I know i'm late and already naughty- but mark me down for - 1

I seem to keep repeating the stressed out diet tactic way too much. Then things settle down and old habits resurface. Time for some new habits.

In case I dont get a chance to check back in...

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays .... whichever applies to each individual.....

I'm down 2 this week. I know I should be happy, but I'm really upset. I went holiday dress shopping yesterday. I usually go to the vintage shops in the area to find dresses, because they end up being less expensive and a lot nicer. Anyway. I just hate grabbing something off a rack and knowing that it will not fit me, then to find something I think looks bigger, only to try it on and not be able to zip it up. I left the shop and just started crying. I have never cried because of something like this, I've never felt that bad about myself before. I also saw old pictures of myself yesterday. I was 120 pounds. So I know that it's doable. I used to be able to maintain and lose weight, but in the last three years I've been having so much trouble.

I'm moving out of my current apartment and into a small house with my best friend and boyfriend the first of the year. We all want to make a lot of changes in our diets and everyday habits. I'm really looking forward to a fresh start somewhere. I know that my friend and I will really help each other lose weight and get healthy. My boyfriend is supportive but, of course, if he wants to lose weight all he does is stop drinking pop for a day and poof.

I really want to get under 150 by the 27th. Ideally, I want to be 145, but I'd really have to work. Hopefully I will. Packing is going to be rough, but I guess calorie burning?

I hope everyone has a great Holiday. Sorry I'm such a downer today.

Don't be too down I know exactly how you feel. I am going on vacation today and I am heavier than I was when I got back from the last one, after solid weeks of eating! I am so ashamed of myself and feel huge, but what can we do? I'm not going to let it ruin my Christmas or vacation, I'm just going to make sure I start the new year a brand new me, with no binges and actually get to my goal weight at last!! I can't believe a couple of months ago I was only 2lb from it! I also used to be able to lose weight easily, but lately (since hitting the big 30) I struggle so bad. Still, New Year, New Attitude . . . new thighs!

Don't be upset about the dress - it was probably cut wrong!! I'm forever storming out of shops moaning loudly "if they can't cut it for my shape then they can't have my business" - poor DH just trails behind looking embarrassed!!!!

It will really help once you move in with like-minded people and you are all doing it together.

Right Peeps, I'm coming to ya! Driving down to the airport in a couple of hours to spend the night (I have to get there early to watch the final of our version of "Dancing with the Stars", DH very unamused!), then we're flying out tomorrow! Should land 1.30pm Vegas time! That's IF the flights have caught up after the airport being closed for snow!! Only I could go to the desert into a blizzard!!!

Merry Christmas everyone, see you in January (if I can fit into my plane seat to get home!!)!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I LOVE VEGAS ENJOY! are you seeing any shows?!

 

[LMO429]

I'm posting my weigh in tomorrow.

Sorry I've been MIA lately, but I was sick on Sunday (food poisoning maybe?), and we've been busy this week preparing for Christmas. I have a lot planned for tomorrow, including uploading pics, laundry, putting away the boxes the decorations were in, wrapping DH's presents, general straightening up, and posting my weigh in of course. If I get my pics uploaded, I'll share some Disneyland ones. And if I can get pics taken and uploaded of my hair, I'll share those too - it's purple! Not most of it, but underneath, in the back, I have purple hair. Only the ends show when my hair is down, which is most of the time.



We booked our May trip, and we will be at the Boardwalk (Boardwalk view ) from May 15th - 22nd. We should try to meet up!

Thanks for your earlier post about all or nothing. I'm struggling a little bit with attitude right now, and it helped. So thanks!

Yes I would love to meet up! Once they finally release May Hours I can make our iternary and then We can figure out where we can meet!

Welcome! You're brave to start in the midst of the holidays, but since that's when most people gain the most weight, you are very smart to be getting a jump on things.

Amen Sista! I too will be praying that we all have an even healthier life next year. And I missed you Fidge! Why is it that stores seem to think that if you are wearing a "plus" size, you must have lost your fashion sense?

Yes I would love to meet up! Once they finally release May Hours I can make our iternary and then We can figure out where we can meet!

Yeah, we will need to make our itinerary when the hours come out too. Can't wait! We'll have to discuss it after we've both got that done.

 

[pixie dust 112]

Still, New Year, New Attitude . . . new thighs!

That so deserves a tag!

 

[mommaU4]

That so deserves a tag!

I agree! That's too funny.

 

[lvs_eeyore]

dwheatl I had to start now because of my diabetes. I have to get it under control since my numbers were so high. Im doing well though and resisting the temptation of the season. Not so sure how well I will do Christmas Day though.

I like to wax my bikini line when I have an especially tough weigh-day coming up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I was joking.

OUCH, but yes, must keep things, um, landscaped. Heh.

Hi guys.

I am not posting my weight. I am throwing in the towel until after next week. I'm so disgusted with myself. And today is the company xmas party with excellent catered Mexican food. Not like that stuff isn't loaded with fat grams.

Hello fellow towel thrower! Ok, We are collectively starting BIG time Jan 1. so don't be too stressed.

Funny at "our age" it's slow coming off, but easy as helk to put ON?

I dont have that luxury I lasered everything down there....TMI!

Wooot! Again, fan of landscaped foofs. NOT tmi here....oh heavens no!

EVERYTHING?

Well, I'm sticking with naughty, cause I still haven't even picked up the scale that my mother is giving me... I promise to get it this next week, k?

Everyone is on the naughty list this week (and next) except for the handful of SAINTS who managed to lose...freak jobs! (just kidding!)

OK I am a samer but its better than gaining right?? UM that was after I cut my hair, removed nails, ebayed my kidney, am had all non essential organs removed. SO I guess I am just bloated then?? OK works for me! Hey wonder how much an eyeball weighs??

That came from the episode of 30 Rock when Jenna wanted to diet. The "expert" she consulted mentioned METH and mentioned casually the tooth retention thing. Maybe a tape worm??

YOU are the biggest loser this week! With TWO pounds down! Ok, you tied with Beth (MommaU4)

It's totally ok being down!
One time, in 2002 I think, I went into Lane Bryant and NOTHING fit. I was struggling to get in their biggest in-store size (28/30). I had a meltdown in the fitting room.

Long story short: I can't fit in anything in Lane Bryant today. It's all too BIG! I had a "moment" in the fitting room that looked like the previous meltdown, but it was JOY I was experiencing not horror.

WELCOME!!!!!!! Of course you can join!!!!! You're just in time!
My skeleton doesn't even weigh 111! You must be a pixie princess




SOS! Punkin!!! Come back!

Aaron!!!!!!????? Get your keester back here!



new girls?????? :

NO naughty list this week. We'll start that HARD in Jan.

 

[dwheatl]

dwheatl I had to start now because of my diabetes. I have to get it under control since my numbers were so high. Im doing well though and resisting the temptation of the season. Not so sure how well I will do Christmas Day though.

I am so glad to hear you are keeping it under control. Most peeps on here know that my mom is diabetic and she has greatly diminished her quality of life by not keeping her blood sugar under control - paralyzed by strokes, about 3/4 of her vision lost. I pray for all diabetics to stay healthy.

As for Christmas Day, who wants to commit with me to find some way to exercise that day to keep the damage to a minimum? Bundle up and take a walk, pop out the Christmas movies from the dvd player and throw in a workout video, put some Christmas music on the stereo,computer, or iPod, and hop on the exercise bike, or send the kids to the movies with Nana and Grandpa and surprise your honey with the horizontal Christmas hop.

UM - You're making the Baby Jesus cry, you naughty girl. JK. Hope you and your family are staying cozy on your lazy Sunday.

UGH. I will. Begrudgingly.

I make the baby Jesus cry a lot! Luckily for me, he is very forgiving and loving to us naughties!

Dweeeeat! ONE more post till you hit 2,500! That is known as a Woooo Hoooty!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Mom doing much better. they are going to move her to a regular floor possibily tomorrow. it doesnt look like she will be home for Christmas and she is getting sad about that but I told her we would just have family Christmas when she came home.

Glad mom is doing better. We love you too

Phil and Amy ROCKED! Amy and her, uh, red dress (sticky tape, for sure!). Is it just me or was Phil HOT after?!

I agree with the Phil thing.

Heyyyyy! Muppets are on tonight

I missed it I went shopping with my mom and I thought I would be back, silly me

Mine is easy. I'm going to exercise. I don't now so that's a biggie for me

I woke up today with a new attitude. I been reading through my food journals and I noticed that for some reason the last 4 to 6 weeks I was starting to get back my terrible "all or nothing" attitude and once again that attitude back fires on me. I think I am putting so much pressure on myself to eat "perfect" during the holidays that it winds up having the reverse effect...I eat 2 cookie the next thing I know I'm eating everything else in sight 2.

I woke up first mad at myself because almost a year of doing weight watchers I KNOW BETTER!!!!! I know I can have 2 cookies and it's not the end of the world...it's all about balance. My weight watcher week usually starts on Thursday so I am starting clean this week, I can't wait till New Years to start a "resolution"..... resolutions are BAD! having a healthy attitude and lifestyle is so much better than waiting till January 1 to make a resolution....so I'm back on weight watchers with a new attitude the attitude that allowed me to lose 25 pounds last year..It's not all or nothing! I can have cookies and cake and whatever else here and there but it's all about an overall balance. I know I can do it! If I work at it and I know there will be bumps in the road, but I just have to handle the bumps better. I heard Jillian Michaels say this on her podcast yesterday:

So on the road to fitness you hit a BUMP in the road and you get a Flat Tire what are you going to do??????? change the tire??? or SLASH the other 3?!?!

I know on my road to a healthy lifestyle it's all about my attitude. I got the exercise thing down, I even know how to eat right too..But its the mental attitude and overall balance that I NEED to work on and I'm taking the steps to work on that 2

Amen to you sista

i am waiting till jan. too...i will sign up for WW online and absolutely follow it. Do you think its remotely possbile to lose 40 lbs in 10 months?? that is what i want to do!

Absolutely you can lose 40 lb in 10 months

I feel that way too around this time of year. I say I'm not going to eat any goodies, but no they call me in the middle of the night and then in the morning I ate them

I dont have that luxury I lasered everything down there....TMI!

Ouch, did that hurt

Right Peeps, I'm coming to ya!

Have a safe trip.

Welcome aboard

Wendy - even though you said no naughty list I'm putting my gain down +2 lb. I'm so upset at myself. But January is coming and I need to lose weight before my trip to WDW in November. I'm serious when I say the plane seat scares me.

Kelly this picture is for you
