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

[DisneyLaura]

that's hilarious! i wouldn't have taken you for a 50 cent fan! what's funny about it is i HATE rap, but every now and then a song catches my ear and when i break out into that sort of thing it's just too funny because i'm such a rock-n-roll type girl, not a rapper!

I usually don't listen to rap either, my favorite to listen to is ozzy But like you sometimes a song catches my ear

We named the kitten Maya, for the Maya Grill. Coronado Springs is the first place at WDW that we stayed together, so it has meaning to us.

I think that's perfect

Hi all,
I just found this thread through Punkin413's Trip report. I hope anyone can join in the party. I am a yo yo dieter. I've been on one diet or another for years. The last one I tried was Medifast. It worked wonders. I lost 30lbs in 3 months. It was the smallest I'd been in years. Then I started stressing and eating regularly and before you know it, I gained most of it back. I am looking for some moral support and friends who are going through similar issues to share and motivate our way to wellness. Please let me know if I can join and what the rules are.
Thanks so much!
I've done it before, I know I can do it again. I just need some moral support from people who understand what it feels like to not be able to eat everything in sight and still look the same/good. My DH and DS can eat whatever they want and they never gain weight. It all probably goes to me! I've resigned myself the fact that because of my profession and my body type I will always be on a diet or I will become obese and suffer health issues.. It's one or the other. I can't have it both ways. In some ways I wish I was heavy enough for gastric bypass just because it would be simpler, unfortunately I'm not big enough to qualify for that. So I have to do it the old fashioned way through extreme diet and exercise.
So can I join your group?

Welcome to our gang. My name is Laura and my DH can eat whatever he wants too, makes me crazy. Or he just gives up soda and drops like 10 lb.

Hi my peeps.

Just checking in.

Can one of you come live with me, so I can stay true to this. Geez!

This is the sadest state of dieting I've ever been in.

I lost it and I can't find it or get it back. This is very depressing.

Maybe I need someone to call me daily.

I just can't figure myself out. My entire waking day I think about dieting and I just don't do it.

PM me too if you want. One week I do super and then next yucko. It's been like this for months. I lost 3 lb gain 2, lose 1, gain 2. Maybe we both can move in just us .

Well, we put a bid in on a house without anyone buying our house yet. I am nervous, stressed and generally fretting over this whole thing. I love this house and know it fits all my families needs, but at the same time it is a little more than we wanted t spend. We are taking one day at a time and prayng ALOT!!!

Made the mistake of going to a chinese buffet for lunch and it really wasn't that good. Definitely wasted calories! Now I need to get some exercise in to make up for it.

WELCOME!

from someone who has tried every fad diet in the book, give weight watchers a try! its nice to be able to eat whatever i want and feel in control!

Dawn - I checked out your birthday dinner story. Your food sounds amazing! And we just got back from Dark Knight, and I could NOT agree with you more!!! AMAZING! And Heath Ledger - WOW! I was really sad in the movie a few times because I knew I was watching something really special and an incredible talent, and it is so sad that he is no longer with us. There was a lot of other great acting in that movie, so no disrespect to the other actors at all, but it would not have been the same without him.

exactly! i thought they all did an incredible job but he just blew me away! i think my favorite part is where he's driving the car and hanging out the window.....for some reason that just brings a little tear to my eye. it's so sad - the possibilities that are now lost.

Hi! I'm new to this thread. I came over from punkins TR. I am Renee and I am in the process of losing 10 lbs. I started quite a ways back (Feb or March I think) and lots of stuff has come up and gotten in the way. I have lost 5 lbs already but am having trouble with the last 5. By losing the first 5, I have pretty much dropped a size (b/c I was kind of in between before) but I am still gunning for those last 5! I do the Weight Watchers points but I don't go to the meetings. I just have all the stuff from someone who used to go. However, I only follow it during the week and not the weekends (could be why I can't lose that last 5 right? lol). I just had surgery 2 weeks ago, got my deviated septum corrected, so I can't go back to working out yet. Will ask the doc when I go on Tuesday.

Anyway, I'm a first grade teacher and I am fairly active when I am at work (never sit much) but sit quite a bit during the summer. I'll be back at work in 2 weeks, so maybe that will help with the last 5.

Thanks for reading!

I saw it Friday and I thought Heath Ledger really stole the movie. He was way too young to die.

I was reading my People magazine and there was an article on Michelle Williams and Heath's daughter and she looks just like him!

 

[DisneySuiteFreak]

You've come to the right place for support, this is a great group! Weigh-in is Friday, just post your +/- in BIG BOLD NUMBERS so our threadmama Wendy can see it! Check in regularly, and jump right in!

Welcome!! I have come to that conclusion too. Due to my sedentary job and metabolism, I am going to have to watch what I eat and exercise for the rest of my life if I want to stay a reasonable weight.

welcome to the newbies!! you'll love it here.

Welcome! This is a great group. Lots of support, laughter, friendship.

You've got our support. I don't think there's a person on this thread who hasn't thought, "Why can't I just eat what I want and weigh what I want?" It's right up there with my other questions of "Why can't I win the lottery and just do good works as a volunteer on my own schedule?" and "Why won't my kids just do what I ask when I obviously know better than they do?" Oh, and of course, "Why can't I live at Disneyland?"

Welcome to our gang. My name is Laura and my DH can eat whatever he wants too, makes me crazy. Or he just gives up soda and drops like 10 lb.

Thank you all so much for the welcome! Punkin413 thanks for posting the info about this thread in you TR. I didn't get to post to your TR, but I am avidly reading it and grateful you posted info about your weight loss and this thread in your TR.
OMG, I just typed out a whole reply to this thread and then couldn't post it because my ISP lost the connection!
Anyway, I was wondering what diet most of you are following? Long story, but Medifast is easy for me because I am always eating on the run. DH and I own a business that's 24/7 (clients all hours of the day and night) and then on top of that I work a full time job at night. It's crazy. And in that regard it's easier to just shake and go instead of having to actually think about what I'm eating. I've been contemplating trying Nutrisystem, just because I am so busy I really don't want to have to think and prepare meals ahead of time. It just makes it easier. We normally end up eating out if I am not being strict on my diet and that's how I gained all the weight back. I have just found that due to my life circumstances, I do a lot better if I don't have to think and prepare meals. I honestly do not have time to cook. So what kind of diet or meal plan do you all follow?

DisneySuiteFreak;

First off you will find great support on this thread!

I like to count my calories. Someone (thank you to all of you who recommend this!) on this thread told me to take my goal weight and multiple it times 12 and that should give you the calories you should eat in a day. I am trying it and with good results so far! I like the fact that I really makes me aware of the food that is going in my mouth and really think are these calories worth it. If I want something bad enough I will make sure to work it into my calories for the day.

To keep track of what I eat I use a free web site called Sparkpeople there I can keep track of calories and exercise. Plus they have great articles and work out videos ect.. I highly recommend this site! Others in my office are using it and are seeing great results!



And last of all exercise! I joined Ladies Workout Express! It's like a Curves and I like it so far. I think in the future though I will join a club just for more of a variety of exercise. I hope this helps!

Have a great day everyone!

I am HAPPY to report that this is the first weekend in a long time that I did not lose control. I didnt totally restrict myself I only used my 35 bonus points..Which is awesome considering i went to the movies friday night(brougt my own popcorn), Saturday went to a mexican restaurant (counted out my chips) and yesterday just ate grilled chicken and salad while everyone else i had hamburgers and hotdogs! (It did help that i was wearing a bikini and didnt want to feel bloated)

also after doing a circuit for the past 3 weeks of Barry's Boot Camp & Jillian Michaels I got a bunch of compliments on how toned my arms looked!

and i agree Heath ledger was amazing!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Good Morning!

It's a beautiful day here in Buffalo..I hope you can say the same.

Bad eating weekend, but am back on track today.

DisneySuiteFreak...I am on WW and like doing the points. As long as I always write down my food, I stay on track. This weekend was a little crazy, but I am not going to let that get me down. I am picking myself up, dusting myself off and moving forward. Hope to see you around alot! You'll like it here!

Todays breakfast: strawberries, plain FF yogurt, splenda and coffee.

Thanks for reading!

Welcome. I'm a kindergarten teacher, and right there with you on the "on my feet during the school year, on my bum during the summer" situation. Good for you for working on the weight loss when you have just a little to lose. I wish I had learned how to eat better when I only had 10 lbs. of bad habits to unlearn.

Sorry about the stomach ills. Congrats on finding the reception site. It just gets more real every day, doesn't it?

Mony - Glad you are checking in. Sounds like you are doing great.

 

[mommaU4]

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a good weekend. I went grocery shopping to stock up on some more healthy food and snacks.
Today we were supposed to be out at the movies but those plans got postponed. Probably just as well since I'm not sure I could have resisted the popcorn today!

Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well or at least hanging in there!

Welcome to all the new people!!

I'm still new too. But everyone has been super nice and welcoming!

Have a great day!

Im doing Slimming World - not sure if you will have heard of it, or if its a UK thing?! Anyhoo, its 'Food Optimizing' - a different way of saying healthy eating I think! It works for me, and it makes sure I have plenty of fruit and veg!

Im getting married and having the reception in a hotel in Sheffield (the nearest city to where I live), its a Courtyard by Marriott hotel but I think its been taken over by the Holiday Inn chain? I'll try and find a link to their website, although the pictures aren't that great!

I know what you mean about the 'bride switch' - I was never the type of girl who had imagined the perfect wedding, and I didn't dream all day long about getting married, but as soon as the engagement ring went on - BAM - on went the bride switch!

I dont know if the above link will work? If it does, ignore the first picture of the board room, I dont know why thats on there
