Up .8 To be honest, I'm relieved. when I got home from the retreat last weekend, I was up 3.8.

yes, i am a huge SYTYCD fan! ray and i thought about buying tickets but we never did. let us know how it was!

they had a great time. They stayed after and got pics and autographs.

I'm so happy because this bring my total weight loss to 41.6 pounds and I can finally get my 40 lbs DIS banner.

It was a lovely wedding, nicest day of my life! I sometimes dream of divorce just so I can get married there again . . . Let's not tell DH that one!!!!

How about just renewing your vows. Divorce is pretty sucky.

LMO - You're in my thoughts and prayers for a wonderful day and a lifetime of happiness.

 

[LMO429]

Good Wedding Morning Peeps!!!

I can't believe the big day is here and how CALM I am. Thank you again for all the well wishes! The weather is still very gross out but I am looking past it. I even slept last night from 8:30 - 7am only waking up twice for a half an hour so I am well rested.

I do not leave for my honeymoon until Monday Morning so I will try and get some pics up before I leave tomorrow

It is very cool to share this planning experience with all you peeps!!!!
xoxo

You won't get before and afters of me, because at one time I was down about 30 pounds (about 5 or 6 months after this thread was started by the beautiful and wonderful Wendy! ) but now I think I've gained back at least 20 of those. So time to reweigh and recommit to the get healthy thing. I'm sure I have to lose about 60 -70 pounds!

favorite disney ride: I love so many...but I admit it, my absolute favorite is It's a small World!

I just subscribed to this thread today. Hopefully it's ok to just leap in here like this. I've been wanting to lose weight for awhile, but the thing that pushed me to join this thread was a recent trip to WDW with my sister. I avoided photos as much as possible on this trip, even though I'd like to have the memories. I just didn't want to record a bunch of images of me at this weight.

My goal now is to get back to my "fighting weight" by losing about 30 lbs. and hopefully get back some of the self esteem I've lost since I've put on the pounds. I don't have a real plan yet other than to start moving again and to quit eating so much unhealthy junk. I just ordered a scale from Amazon, so I guess I'll join the weigh-ins next Friday!

Here is my mini-bio:
name: Amy
how long have you been a peep? I just joined today.
what you "do": I work in interactive marketing.
kids? Maybe someday.
favorite junk food: french fries
favorite healthy food: I love celery and carrots.
tip you'd like to share with everyone: Drink water and try to find some form of exercise that makes you happy and doesn't feel like work. I enjoy hula hooping.

favorite disney park: EPCOT
favorite disney rides: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Spaceship Earth
favorite disney show: I've only seen one -- Voyage of the Little Mermaid
favorite disney resort: I only have one to pick from here too. I loved the Dolphin, but I'd love to stay at the Contemporary someday!
favorite disney TS: I have never tried a table service restaurant at WDW. (I know! I'll have to correct that on my next trip)
favorite disney CS: Sunshine Seasons
favorite disney movie: There are so many that I love. The original Parent Trap is probably my favorite. As for animated films, I guess I'll just list the ones I watch over and over. Little Mermaid, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Beauty & the Beast, and the Rescuers.

I hate how I look in this photo, but I'll share it because it's a fun memory. I'm the taller brunette (not wearing the fur).

 

[pixie dust 112]

Welcome Amy! You are so cute, love that picture!

 

[punkin413]

welcome to the newbies!!!! it's nice to have you here. the more the merrier!! and welcome back to some familiar faces.

lauren - HAPPY WEDDING DAY!!!!!!!!!!

thought i would share these for motivation. anna (my best friend & fitness trainer) has been playing with the idea of starting some boot camps around our community (at schools, parks, etc.) so she decided to do one in our subdivision last night for free just to experiment with it. she had my hubby take some pictures of all of us so she could create some flyers with pictures. well, it rained last night so she thought about cancelling it, then all these people showed up! it was really encouraging to see so many people that were willing to work out, despite the bad weather. luckily it just drizzled on us a few times, but it was a great time and we got a good workout!

it was actually chilly (very odd for september in georgia) when we first got out there and i was thinking.....i am NOT exercising in the cold rain and getting pnuemonia!

but once we got going we all warmed up and it was fine.

i told anna we looked like an old people's cheerleading squad in this picture!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Cool Dawn! I love the old people cheerleading squad photo!

 

[dwheatl]

Welcome Amy, and Dawn, I love the photos. You go, girl.

Good to see you back over here. Just one question: Are you peeping undercover, or am I not the only one to sometimes misspell my name?

LMO, wish I could trade weather with you. It's hot and dry here, and I have a cold. I'd love to be huddled under the covers on a rainy day, and you could have my sunshine and blue skies. It's just being wasted on me.

Oops! I'll go back and fix it! Thanks Danielle, I was almost known forever more as May Lou!

I am going to save everyone a bunch of calories now. Beth already heard about this, but here it is for the rest of you.
DS just quit his job working at a movie theater. The day before he left, he found a couple of Mickey's cousins floating belly-up in the popcorn "butter". When he told his boss, the boss laughed and said, "I know."

ewwwwww.......that's disgusting. no words for that. other than i just ate dinner and now i'm feeling rather icky.

OK, first of all, put me down for a gain of 2.6 lbs since my last weigh in please. (I'm OK with that since I've been to WDW and taken off a few of the lbs I gained already.) But I do have 9 lbs to lose for the Halloween challenge now so I have to get to work on that.

I have many others things (photography-related) that I need to be working on, BUT...

I started reading Twilight on the plane to Orlando, and... I cannot stop!!! I have finished it, and I was determined not to get the next book until I was caught up on other things, but DH wanted to go to the book store that night to get a travel guide for Cali for our November trip, so... yeah, I got it! This was Friday night. I finished the book this morning at 2am!!! He's taking me to the book store today to get the next one. I am obsessed!!! Wendy, can I please blame you? I bought the book in January for our never-happened flight to Cali then, and I didn't get around to reading it until now. I LOVE these books! But I have to do other things, and I am afraid I won't be able to until I finish the whole series! BTW, Edward makes my knees wobbly.

DH's first flight went wonderfully! He handled it really well. He even asked for the window seat on the way home and didn't take his meds on the flight home either! I was proud. We had a great time too. Not enough time, but all four parks, a Peep meet, MNSSHP, and two trips to The Adventurer's Club (for the last time). I'll post pics soon as I can.

And here's my re-introduction...

name: Lynda
how long have you been a peep? since November 2006, I believe
what you "do": I work in an HR office for a large clinic, doing the IT side of things. I also do portrait photography on the side.
kids? Not yet!
favorite junk food: Pizza and ice cream
favorite healthy food: sushi and other seafood and fruit
tip you'd like to share with everyone: LOTS of water, occasional cheat days, and nothing you can't keep doing long term because this is a lifestyle change, not a diet. I guess attitude has a great deal to do with it too. And take it one day at a time. Don't beat yourself up for mistakes. Keep peepin' on!

and of course we have to talk about what brings us together in the first place!
favorite disney park: Magic Kingdom!
favorite disney ride: This is difficult. Probably Tower of Terror, Pirates, or Haunted Mansion.
favorite disney show: Festival of the Lion King, Philharmagic
favorite disney resort: Beach Club
favorite disney TS: Narcoossee's
favorite disney CS: Wolfgang Puck Express & Flametree BBQ
favorite disney movie: This is TOO hard! Lilo & Stitch, Meet the Robinsons, all the princess movies... I can't decide!

My before picture (at about 250 lbs) in November 2006.

During, at about 225 lbs, I think, in May 2007.

About the same, maybe 5 lbs lighter, in September 2007.

In May 2008, at about 198-ish - 52 lbs lost.

And now, just last week at WDW (about the same as May, weight-wise)
