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

[UtahMama]

Aaron- put me down for -1.

I'm just .2 away from the next milestone set of scale numbers

Maybe if I cut my hair....




Y'all, I went to Lane Bryant last night and am officially IN 14's!

Disclaimers:
1. I didn't have to lay down to zip- which is hard to do in a dressing room, mai tai add
2. The jeans I tried on were not at all lycra or stretchy, they were actual 14's
3. One pair were LOWWWW rise and made me laugh loudly. Shaving low. Bum crack low. Bend one inch and show way too much low. Not good low!

Shield your eyes thread papa!
And NONE of their lingerie fits me! The bras are too wide and the B's are too big (the saga of the shrinking goes on!). The purple and black "baby doll" I tried on was too big too. The corset top that is supposed to be all laced and sinched up was too big too. What's a girl to do when she's wanting to have a little pretty something under her clothes, I ask!

Has anyone else been having chilly weather? It's been getting cold here at night. It appears that Fall is just around the corner!

We have been getting chilly at night here so we close our windows because it gets down to the 40's but I love sleeping cold and under a toasty quilt but not in the winter just the fall. Dh gets colder before me because he sleeps right next to the windows so he shuts them.

Fall has definitely hit here in Buffalo! It was 47 degrees this morning when I woke up. I am looking forward to the "hot" weather in Florida. (Remind me I said that when I am dying of heat!)

It's warmish here but I can tell there's the beginning of crisp cool Autumn just around the corner. I LOVE Autumn for so many reasons, cozy soups and flannel PJ's are just the beginning!

OT:
Anyone living "back East" needs to pretty please take and post pictures of the leaves when they start changing!

IN Topic:
Good luck Peeps for tomorrow's weigh in!!!!!
We really need to kick it up a notch with the holidays coming fast upon us. My biggest weakness!!!!

OT - Yes fall is the best season for me. I love all the colors and soups and then the nice flannel PJ's. I will be sure to take some pictures for my peeps too. Usually doesn't happen until late October though.

in topic - I love these holidays coming up but weight qise not a chance. I'm going to good this year. that's my peep promise

We had a ton of fun!! I never would have been able to get Mr Kat to go to the Adventurer's Club w/out Dawn and Erica, so that was a special bonus. Dawn is just as bubbly and nice in person as she comes across online.

So, I am back from WDW, and back on the wagon. I started my new job on Monday and so far, I LOVE it. I am so glad that I decided to make a move. It is also 10 min from home, so I am sure not missing that 30 min commute!

I gained a ton of weight in my backslide off the wagon and then the WDW trip, so hopefully I can get rid of some of it quickly.

Glad the new job is great for you. I can relate to that 30 min drive (I do that too but just once a wee, I left my job 3 years ago when I was preggo with DD but just went back this week just for a day to start). I'm jumping on your bandwagon. I'm going to start my exercise DVD this week. That's my goal.

Yeah on the loss, i think you should get a trim Nice to have a new pant size No advice on the lingerie, I haven't worn that in years.


Ok peeps I didn't weigh in at WW's again this week, that's bad because I need that (remember no scale) but I didn't do that bad eating wise. DD started preschool so I didn't want to be out of our town just in case I needed to go back to pick her up. But she did fine so next Tuesday I'll be going to my meeting. So I don't know about my loss/gain or stayed the same. We are going to the Big E (which a big fair for the North Eastern states (Gina knows about this, it's in her state) anyway, corn dogs are going to be a problem and then in one of the state houses (I believe it's Vermont) they have the best Cheddar cheese and broccoli soup in a bread bowl that I get every year for dinner so that's a given. It's so yummy I look forward to it every year. We go there on Sunday so that day will be a lot of walking which is good.

I don't know if you have a Steve and Barry's by you, but the Sarah Jessica Parker line that they have, Bitten, has jeans for curvy ladies. I have a big butt and a little waist and can never find jeans. But the Bitten ones fit really well and they are something absurd like 7-10 dollars. They aren't too low rise either, they hit a little below my belly button, and I have a super long torso.

Lingerie is so hard! Good luck! I once got some nice things from Old Navy of all places.


On another note, this week I am -.5. Not so bad I suppose. But I am really going to try so very hard not to eat like crap this weekend. I eat horribly on the weekend, and then spend all week trying to make up for it. So! I'm sticking to it!

I hope!

I want to lose 25 pounds and be able to maintain it by March. There is no way I will look like a Chubby Bunny in our Disney pictures again!

Anyway! Hope everyone is doing well and is happy enough with their weigh ins! Even when I lose I have a tendency to think, "That's all??" But a pound lost is still pound gone!

Have a good weekend!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Hi all

I'm -2 which I am pleased with!! Back on track after 2 very bad weeks. Have a meal out tomorrow though so no promises for next week!!

Have a great weekend

YES!!! I LOVE the big E! I haven't been in sooo long..have a corn dog for me! I love the maple cream stuff in the vermont ( i think!?) building..wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

The bitten stuff is pretty cute!
I wish they had stuff for people with wider waists and small bums...that would be me..i am built like a potato on stilts!!...its so frustrating!!

anyhoo..no weigh in for me..i just didnt' do it for some reason..the working out has been GREAT and the food pretty good..i think i just want another week like this one before i "dare" the scale..
have a great day all!!

Way to go!!! There is nothing like fitting into a lower size clothes to validate all of your hard work, espeically if the scale isn't moving as fast as you want it to. It just goes to show that there is more to weight loss than just a number on a scale. I'll try to remember to tell everyone my successes in that area some other time. But right now, I'm just happy for you!

ME TOO!!! Potato on stilts!! That is a great way to put it.

I always seem to wind up with what I call boot cut butt. Tight around the waist and HUGE around the hips and thighs.

I weighed in this morning but it is my starting weight. Thankfully it was 4 lbs down from Tuesday AM, so the jumping out the window thoughts have subsided some, but I am just going to FORGET that Tuesday number!!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

I am down .8 lb this week. I'll take it. I'd like to see more, but I'll just have to keep working at it.

Good Morning Peeps!

Yes Aaron....I can see the stats for the challenge.....all 13lbs I now need to lose!!!! But, I can do it!!! (Even with going to Disney for 10 days!!!)

Dawn...Glad you had a great trip! Wish I knew of a Peep that would be there when I go in a little over a week.....no Peep meet for me!

Wait! When are you at WDW?!? We fly out next Thursday for a short trip. We are there the 18th-23rd.

I am looking for new jeans too! I will have to check out our local Macy's! Thanks!! I used to love Old Navy Jeans but they must have done something with the cut because they just don't fit right.

Funny! When Old Navy changed things up, they fit me better - the Sweetheart ones, that is. They have 4 different cuts now.

Wendy - CONGRATS on the downsize! That's exciting!!!

 

[mommaU4]

I am down this week. Last Friday I was 227.8 now I'm 223.8, for a loss of exactly -4 lbs.

Funny how things can change so quickly. I weighed myself yesterday for another WISH thread, and was at 225. Overnight I lost weight?
Well, while I don't pretend to understand it. I'll take it!!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I'm +0.5 lbs. Oh well! maybe next week.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

I'm early with this today! With 83% of the precincts reporting, here are the results of this week's Halloween challenge...

 

[DisneyLaura]

YES!!! I LOVE the big E! I haven't been in sooo long..have a corn dog for me! I love the maple cream stuff in the vermont ( i think!?) building.

OHHHHHH the maple cream on a little cone. Oh and I will have a corn dog just for Gina.

 

[punkin413]

okay, peeps!!! i've decided i'm officially pulling myself FIRMLY back on this wagon starting on monday!!!! i've been too wishy washy with my eating and exercising over the last few months and the pounds are slowly creeping back up. nothing too horrible, but i don't want to let it continue!!!! so i'm nipping it in the bud and i'm setting a personal goal for myself to be at 125 pounds by my disney christmas trip (12/10). i didn't weigh myself today but i'm thinking that's about 10 pounds. I CAN DO IT!!!!!

I wish they had stuff for people with wider waists and small bums

it's so funny to see this because i feel like ALL the jeans i try on are for people with small bums and wider waists!!!! i'm just the opposite and if i get a pair of pants that fit me in the thighs and butt, they HANG off my waist...as in you can look down my pants and see parts of my body that i don't want you to see!! i guess the grass is always greener, huh?

by the way, for my fellow pears, i just bought a pair of gap jeans called "trousers." they are a little dressier than regular jeans and i LOVE how they fit me! and an added bonus was i got a size 6 so they run big. i usually wear an 8 and sometimes a 10, so a smaller size is always fine by me!

You NEED some pretty lingerie to wear under your clothes, STAT! Seriously, wearing something pretty make you feel absolutely fabulous. I wish I would have discovered this fact years and years ago! (plus your dh might like it too, heh.)

Did you say corn dog??? OY! That's my weakness! Geeez, the soup sounds heavenly. Feel free to take pictures for us!

"Chubby Bunny" made me LOL!!!! Where is the Tag Fairy for THAT???
I will investigate the Bitten jeans. I am now a jeans snob because of the Lane Bryant fit system. I hate gaping waist bands. My long narrow waist and proportionately huge hips = not an easy body to fit into jeans.

And, lingerie isn't hard! I'm on a kick for all of us to feel PRETTY as we lose this weight!

Hi all

I'm -2 which I am pleased with!! Back on track after 2 very bad weeks. Have a meal out tomorrow though so no promises for next week!!

Have a great weekend

YAY!!!!
Be sooo careful on your meal out! You just never know what's in food. May the Peeps be with you!!!!

YES!!! I LOVE the big E! I haven't been in sooo long..have a corn dog for me! I love the maple cream stuff in the vermont ( i think!?) building..wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

have a great day all!!

Free passed for you! I've never heard of maple cream... I MUST go East someday! (during late October!)

You sound like me daring the scale. I have been known to kick it and call it a lyer!

Way to go!!! There is nothing like fitting into a lower size clothes to validate all of your hard work, espeically if the scale isn't moving as fast as you want it to. It just goes to show that there is more to weight loss than just a number on a scale. I'll try to remember to tell everyone my successes in that area some other time. But right now, I'm just happy for you!

Thanks!!! I'm just amazed that it actually is paying off both in inches and clothes fit. Slow and steady!!!

ME TOO!!! Potato on stilts!! That is a great way to put it.

I always seem to wind up with what I call boot cut butt. Tight around the waist and HUGE around the hips and thighs.

I weighed in this morning but it is my starting weight. Thankfully it was 4 lbs down from Tuesday AM, so the jumping out the window thoughts have subsided some, but I am just going to FORGET that Tuesday number!!

I am the opposite, but I'll take the stilts!
LOL! Forgettin' is what we do!

I am down .8 lb this week. I'll take it. I'd like to see more, but I'll just have to keep working at it.

Funny! When Old Navy changed things up, they fit me better - the Sweetheart ones, that is. They have 4 different cuts now.

Wendy - CONGRATS on the downsize! That's exciting!!!

Thanks!
Old Navy does too?! That's good news because I dont want to spend the big money on jeans until I'm at some sort of goal-like weight.

Congrat's on your .8 loss this week!

I fluctuate in my weight several pounds! It's crazy! I swear, Fridays are cursed for me.

I think we have the same body type. I love trousers too! OMGosh they look really good with heels! I wouldn't mind being that size

They do! Sweetheart is what I buy. There's also Diva, Flirt, and I think one more, but I can't remember the name. I am in the same boat as far as spending too much money until I'm at goal. I LOVE Ann Taylor Loft, but I won't go spend that kind of money until I know they will continue to fit.

Thanks!

 

[MA pigletfan]

OHHHHHH the maple cream on a little cone. Oh and I will have a corn dog just for Gina.

YES on the cone!!!! oh i am flashing back to big E goodness..hahaha!

a fun game to play if you're just kinda hanging out with some bachelorettes is if they say either the name of their husband or the word "wedding," they have to do a shot. the party gets going real quick!

i'm having a "girly" weekend too! well, at least sunday i am. anna and i are having a spa party like the one i went to a few weeks back and posted pictures of. i can't wait! i'm sure we'll get lots of free stuff for hosting a party. plus we spent $170 on food today for the party. the reason i said i'd be fully back on the wagon on monday is because i know i have no chance on sunday! plus i still have some chocolate left over from the italy pavilion at epcot from my trip to disney last week!

I think we have the same body type. I love trousers too! OMGosh they look really good with heels! I wouldn't mind being that size
"Fellow Pears"

i can't wait to wear them with some boots with heels, but it's still hot here so no boots for me. i'm SUCH a pear. i get it honestly from my mom. i wish i could find a picture of a comic i have on my fridge. it has a mother and daughter on it and they're both pear shapes and the mom is saying to the daughter, "honey, you can't fight mother nature. our family tree yielded pears." SO TRUE!!!!

does anyone else wonder why these crazy reporters like to stand in the wind in hurricanes????? WE KNOW IT'S WINDY - YOU DON'T HAVE TO PROVE IT TO US!!!!!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Put me down for -1 today! Need more exercise for sure!

I HATE shopping for jeans because I have a larger bum & thighs and have to find ones that aren't too tight in those areas. I don't like my clothes tight...too uncomfortable.

7 more days until vacation!!!! Woohoo!!!

 

[dwheatl]

I'm down 1. Yippee! My vow this morning for this week is to write down everything I eat, good or bad. I did it today, and I was able to pass up a birthday cupcake for one of my students despite being dog-tired. I didn't want to have to look up the calories.
Another pear heard from!

 

[mommaU4]

WAIT! You are consistently losing each week! That is great! Please share with us what you are doing.

Thanks. Not always though. August was a rough month for me. I went up and down and when all was said and done, I only lost 3 lbs the whole month of August.

I'm not really doing anything different then anyone else. Counting calories, walking and drinking water. LOL I'm afraid the only reason I'm losing now is because I have SO MUCH to lose. I'm sure before too long I will reach a point where it's much harder and I'm only losing a pound or half a pound a week.
