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

[DisneyLaura]

Sneaking back in .......

I've got lots of news.

DD went for her ultrasound today and she is having a girl. Suprisingly her boyfriend did show up for the appointment. Dont remember if I told you all but he stood us up for her birthday dinner. We waited for an hour and a half with no boyfriend and no phone call.

When is she due again? Sorry to hear that the baby's father is not there for your DD but you are and that's all that counts. Congrats on the girl to your DD.

Hi everyone!

I was hoping I could join up with you. I thought now might be a good time since your Labor day challenge is almost over.

Welcome aboard

I'm 22 years old, I live in Ohio(GO BUCKS!) with my parents(which allows me to sleep for 10 hours!). I'm not married nor do I have any children(...again..why I can sleep for 10 hours!

Ok I am officially jealous, I haven't slept for 10 hours straight in almost 10 years.

I have a question.

What do you all eat for breakfast? I usually eat cereal before work, but lately I've been starving by the time lunch rolls around. I think I need a heartier cereal.

I'm bad to ask for breakfast options. I usually have coffee and a yogurt or some toast. I used to skip breakfast and then around 10-11 o'clock I was starving. Sometimes I do eat some Cheerios with some fruit too.

 

[harleyquinn]

Awesome! Thanks for the suggestions.

I almost always eat eggs on the mornings I don't work (4 days of the week). It's the work mornings that get me, because I don't want to make a 'normal' breakfast.

I've always done pretty well on mini-wheats...I've been meaning to try Special K.

We just don't have a lot of fresh stuff around the house since we just came back from WDW. I'm going to go the farmer's market tomorrow and pick up a bunch of stuff. I usually have that as a snack around 11am and then lunch at 1pm. I need to start bringing something for my 3pm break too. I just usually eat it all at lunch instead of breaking it up better.

 

[mommaU4]

Wow, I cannot believe this is the final challenge weigh in! (It is right? lol) It went by fast.

Anyway, I am down from 231.8 to 230.6 so a loss of -1.2 lbs

I think that brings my total lost to around 12 or 13 lbs which is short of my 15 lb goal. Oh well. I tried! Thanks for all the support and advice everyone.

 

[UtahMama]

Hi everyone!

I was hoping I could join up with you. I thought now might be a good time since your Labor day challenge is almost over.

So here's a little about me:
I've been struggling with my weight every since I graduated from HS. It makes me so sad to realize how skinny and healthy I was back then. Anyway, 10 years and a lot of pounds later here I am. Dh and I are TTC and I would really like to lose at least 10 pounds before I manage to get pregnant. If by some miracle it happens right away, I would still like to stick around with you all--not to lose anything of course, but for support to have a heathier pregnancy.

So I'm the leader of the DIS Sparkpeople team. I am ashamed to say I don't post very often on there, but I really love the website. So I plan on using it for my calories and all. And as far as exercise I'm considering joining a gym, but that scares me. I just bought Turbo Jam and I do have a few other work out DVDs that I really like.

So that's where I'm at. I'm looking forward to hanging out with all of you!

(BTW the biggest reason I'm motivated again is that we just got back from WDW and I was really embarrassed by a few of my photopass pictures. But the trip was awesome!)

It's a well known fact that Photo Pass photos add 10 pounds

And it's nice to meetcha! Good luck on getting pregnant!

Hey Peeps!

I am terrible with computers but I am going to attempt to try to post some pics on the peep thread..here are a couple from my bachelorette party!

Here is me with 2 of my bridesmaids..(im the one in the middle)

You look amazing! Totally beautiful!

I MUST own that bra!!!!
That aint no Playtex 18 hour, 4 hook model...that's for sure!
Really, I DO sometimes talk about something other than bras and bo obs

Tomorrow is weigh-in!!!

Well..I promised to "type" more about myself so lets see:

I'm 22 years old, I live in Ohio(GO BUCKS!) with my parents(which allows me to sleep for 10 hours!). I'm not married nor do I have any children(...again..why I can sleep for 10 hours! ).

Would you mind sleeping 10 hours for me??? It's been 19 years since I've been well rested.

Good Morning Peeps,

Well I am a Samer this week. And I ain't complaining! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! Anyone doing anything fun? I'm not going anywhere! We have the Harley 105th Anniversary going on in town this weekend! So I am just staying home. There are motorcycles everywhere! I was going to go to the musuem today with the kids but I think downtown may be a little crowded!

Have a great day everyone!

Harley folks are awesome!!!!
I think you should go ask the biggest, baddest dude you can find if you can take his Harley for a spin.

Can I have an extension on the challenge?
UGH! I totally blew that one!


oh, I'm up .4 (which is better than my first weigh in this morning...ACK!)


Aaron- could you just make that a 4 pound loss for my spot on your chart? That would be lovely.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I have a question.

What do you all eat for breakfast? I usually eat cereal before work, but lately I've been starving by the time lunch rolls around. I think I need a heartier cereal.

I have Fiber One cereal (usually the honey cluster variety) or oatmeal and a yogurt. Then I usually have a banana and/or an apple before lunch time.

You look amazing! Totally beautiful!

Too funny Wendy! Are you a little obsessed with the chestal area right now? That does look like a good bra though. LMO - You do look great in those pics! Skinny Minnie!

And Wendy - I am right there with you on the challenge. I didn't come close to mine. I did make progress, but I didn't even make it half way to mine. On to the next challenge, I suppose! We CAN do it!

 

[LMO429]

UTAH MAMA!!!! You are 2 funny!!! The bra I had on is my little secret but I will let you all in on it

Warner's Sleek Underneath Underwire Contour Bra Style No. (1344):

and it's super comfy too!!!! but I also have a D cup naturally so im sure that helps!!!


thanks everyone for the compliments! I had been pushing to lose another 5 pounds before the wedding but I'm slowly starting to accept myself as is!!!


MY NEXT GOAL after the wedding is to be able to wear bikini bottoms without a skirt to Blizzard Beach next May!

Is it THIS one? http://www.barenecessities.com/Warners-Sleek-Underneath-Contour-Bra_product_Warners1344.htm
Look at the price! YAYYY!

I want a D-cup un-naturally,now that I'm no longer "heaving" ,LOL.

NOT too much to ask after nursing 4 babies a grand total of 4(ish) years and losing a 100 pounds (and yo-yo'ing most of my adult life)

 

[mommaU4]

Since we are sort of on the topic of bras and b00bs, has anyone here been for a professional fitting?

I'd like to since I know I am not wearing the right size or style, but I'm too embarrassed to do so. And even more now since I've lost 32 lbs and I'm pretty sure most of that was in the chest area!!! The girls are in pretty sad shape and lord only knows what they'll look like when I actually reach my goal!

Surgery and implants will never be an option for me, lol, but I've heard the right bra and right fit can do wonders. I just freak out when I think of some stranger messing with my girls!

 

[disneyismyname]

I loss.......1.2

yeah!! And I just started tuesday!! Rock on!!

174.1--172.9

as far as the ta tas go...I find the bra wacoal & warner bras to fit the best considering I have big ones

this may help if you are embarrassed to get measured at a store, but I would not let you deter you, most sales people tend to be pretty nice

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I'm -1.6 lbs this week. Yay! I have been walking/jogging 3 miles a day, several times a week, and keeping a record of how long it takes me. Within a week I've improved my time by 3 mins. & 45 secs. Sorry I haven't been around much lately and I seldom comment but I do read every post. Sometimes I just can't put into words what I'm thinking.

To anyone in general:
Nursing 203 is going really well. It's hard to believe that two weeks of classes are already over with. Only 14 more for this semester. Graduation has been set for May 8 and our pinning ceremony will be held on May 9th. That's only 8 months & 10 days. I've decided to cancel our December trip to Disney World and add more days to our June trip instead. The only time in Dec. that we would have be able to go would have been New Year's eve week and I just don't want to fight the crowds. Company has just arrived. Later.

Melinda- Where are you?

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I find that Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria line is quite good. I wear the shaping full coverage and shaping demis, and I am a C, so the girls do need some support. And these are definitely the best bras I've ever owned. I have never been for a professional fitting either, but I am pretty certain I am wearing the right size at this point. (I think I was pushing it before the weight loss started though - on the number more so than the letter.) I do want to check out the link LMO posted though, but I can't get to it from here at work. I'll have to try tonight or tomorrow at home.

Have you ever been to DL before? I can't recall...sorry.


Well, in any case, I haven't been to the ToT party before, but I'm going this year and really excited by all the pics and things I've seen. So I'd say to go. Have you been to MNSSHP? It's not that big so you might be disappointed if you try to compare the two, kwim? But the park is really done up nicely and lots of different characters out to take pics with.


Carnation Cafe is really good, get the Baked Potato soup. And ask if Oscar the chef is around. He's been working at DL for over 50 years and I've heard he has great stories of the early days. It would be neat to have a pic with him.

At the Blue Bayou, I'm sure you know to ask to have a water side table if possible.

Are you planning a tour? They have the Walk in Walt's Footsteps tour which also includes lunch so that's nice. And you'd get some behind the scenes info as well as a peek into the lobby of Club 33.

The chicken alfredo lasagna at Wine Country Trattoria is really good. Everyone I've talked to who's had it, loves it.

Gotta try a Tigger Tail. They are sold down by the Winnie the Pooh ride.

I personally enjoy the "Disneyland: The First 50 Magical Years" show with Steve Martin. It's an exhibit about the history of Disneyland.

Gotta ride the Haunted Mansion since the Nightmare Before Christmas holiday layover will be up. That's really fun.

It's a long shot, but if you are really sweet lol and ask one of the CMs working at the train (the one that goes around the park) if you can ride in the Lily Belle, they might let you. (Find a male CM and show him a little leg! ) http://waltstoytrains.railfan.net/lilly.htm
Just recently another DISer I know asked and her and her DH were allowed to ride.


I'm trying to think of things that are unique to Disneyland.

Oh, the Billy Hill and the Hillbillies show is really funny.

Mr. Toads Wild Ride, since that's gone from WDW now.

The Tiki Room still has the original show.

The canoes that circle Tom Sawyers island are kind of fun. I've heard they don't have those in WDW.

Ride the carousel in Fantasyland and look for Jingles. It's supposed to be Mary Poppins horse. I think it had bells around it's neck or something. A pic on that would be cute.

The Matterhorn of course. And Indiana Jones ride.

Storybook Land canal boats are really cute. The line is usually long, BUT the little scenes are so adorable and make great pics.

I guess I have to say Finding Nemo, lol. It's pretty much a must do as well. Although I am claustophobic so I hated it. Still, I did it at least once.

Also the Mark Twain is a must do, and I've heard you can ask the CMs working at the dock if you can ride up in the wheel house.

Ummm, well, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. LOL Just go on everything and have fun!

Also here is a thread (it's short) that you can glance through real quick about some of the favorite snacks/foods at Disneyland:

Thanks for the info ladies. I'm definitely going to check out that link too.

Forgot to say, down .2. I'll take it. Oh, and whatever you all eat for breakfast, please eat something. We had a teacher collapse today who had nothing but coffee all day. The paramedics had to come and take her to the hospital. Please lose weight the healthy way.

Here's another thread about features unique to DL over WDW. http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=802084

If you like Roger Rabbit, that part of Toontown is fun. Step on the manhole covers and pick up the street phones.

As for Nemo, I've been on it twice despite having claustrophobia. I just have to tell myself that my head is above water level if I stand up. However, I just talked to a friend who was riding when the earthquake struck this summer. She said it REALLY rocked. I may never go on again (but don't let that stop you).

I guess you'll get newlywed badges from the GC. If not, that and anything else you need that you would get from City Hall is easier to get at Guest Relations in CA. Much shorter lines for the same services. that's my best DL secret.

That's great! I added you to "the spreadsheet" You are officially a card carrying member of the PEEPS.

DO! They don't care, really!
Maybe an older, motherly sales lady at a department store rather than Patty Perky at Victorias?

I think as long as there's no gapping, muffin-topping or wire-pinching or back squeezing or bulging self measuring can be fine with a GOOD bra.

The GC is the BOMB!!!!!

I can't wait to get your opinions on all my favorites (which you happen to have listed)

You can always get a Monte Cristo sandwich with pomme frtittes in New Orleans...OH MY Goodness! Honeymoon food has no calories afterall.

Good for YOU!!!! It's so amazing to me how much we progress and improve DAILY with exercise. I read somewhere that "Muscles are meant to be challenged" and I think of that all the time. Gives me a little boost to kick it up a notch.

I looove those! Except, I don't want to spend the money till I need to.
The new VS BIOFIT Uplift has me very curious though.


GREAT topics today! LOL

 

[DisneyLaura]

I think I forgot to post my weigh in today. Im -.4 lb. Not much but I'll take it. Of course I'm no where near my challenge for Labor Day but I think I broke even, stayed the same, hopefully. Lauren I did your bra sizing thing and it's telling me a whole different size than I'm wearing. They are saying my cup size is a AA which I know is not right, I've got girls. My number around is around the same size but the letter is way off I think. I'll have to try it again with a bra on and see if that's different because like Wendy I have nursed three kids also and the girls are not so perky anymore. Ok back to our regular scheduled programming.

 

[DisneyObsession]

All this talk of and bras made me think I need to buy some new ones before my trip!! The VS ones look really nice....with a "nice" price as well. I think I'll measure and go from there!

Do we get a final WI on Monday for the challenge or was yesterday it? I can't remember, because I think this is the first challenge that I have finished!

OK...I have to get food ready for dinner, as I head to work in 30 min. (I really don't want to go!)

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey Peeps.....IM BACK!!! And Im MRS DisneyGalUK!

The wedding was fabulous! The day absolutely flew by and there were no problems at all (or at least none that I knew of!)

Wendy - I didn't get chance to put a PEEPS sign out but.....the PEEPS got a shout out in the speeches! It was so funny! DH (Oh my, hes now DH! ) bought me the Stephanie Meyer books as a little surprise present and in his speech he said something along the lines of 'All I have heard is the peeps say these books are soooo great, the peeps cant stop reading these books, so ive bought them for Kelly so she finally stays quiet for two minutes!' He did also thank the peeps for me looking nice in my wedding dress

Sparkie - Congrats on the baby girl and an extra for you

LMO - You look AWESOME!!! You are going to be a stunning bride!

Lynda - Great picture, you look fabulous!

Everyone else - and sorry if ive missed anything!

WELCOME to the newbies!

Im just in the process of putting some pics onto the computer so I'll post a few if thats ok with everyone
