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

[abish19]

Hi everybody!

I was up one pound to 178 this week. Not happy. I'm trying to be optimistic, though, because I am committed to change. Baby steps!

Have a beautiful weekend!

 

[UtahMama]

Fly-by to say down .8. Not bad, considering yesterday was my cheat day. We had Togo's at school, and the choices were avocado and turkey, or pastrami. I took the first, but it was still a lot of calories, esp. w/potato salad and a Klondike bar Anyway, I figured out all my calories, rode the bike for 50 minutes while I read Nebo's 2006 TR , and came out not too bad. See you all later.

Well, Neeb's TR are good for losing weight! heh.
(Love Nebo and Smidgey!)


Ooooh, potato salad! I LOVE potato salad.
I'm SUPPOSED to eat sweet potatoes when I want french fries or potatoes...but it doesn't help the craving, unfortunately.



I have a Spaghetti Squash I need to fix tonight. They are "OK" tasting if you like squash and go well with a low sugar pasta sauce and parmessan (sp) cheese. My family is likely to balk so I have whole wheat spaghetti for them.

Hello all! Congrats to all who lost or maintained this week! And keep at it everyone!

I am down this week from 221.4 to 219.6 for a loss of -1.8 lbs. I'm finally into the teens!!

I was so sure I was going to have a gain this week. I guess eating cheese enchiladas, Chinese food, Pizza, pasta, hot dogs, and fun size Snickers agrees with me. Or maybe all that will just show up next week. Who knows!

Have a great day all!!!

 

[UtahMama]

Well it's my first weigh-in...

And I'm only -0.2 but hey, better than nothing!

In other news... It's my birthday!! so today will be a cheat day, and I will not feel guilty about eating Mexican tonight!

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

Happy Birthday! Have a fabulous day!!!!

Ohhhh you get "free" cake!!!! We wont even yell at you! (jk!!!)

I love Mexican food! I'm usually full after just the chips and salsa though. Grrr.

OK....after 10 days at Disney, I gained 2.5! (I think that isn't too bad for the free dining plan and 10 days worth!) So...I have 3 weeks to lose over 10 lbs! Not gonna happen, but I will try my hardest!

Wendy...Loved the pics from the field trip! Your daughter is adorable, as usual! Makes me miss those days when I taught preschool and took all those trips!

LMO...Hope you are having a fabulous honeymoon in Maui!

Off to get ready to work 3-11:30. I really need to see if I can change my hours!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

My weigh in - I think I am down 2.6 lbs this week! I KNOW I have 6.4 lbs left for the Halloween challenge, but I can't remember exactly where I was at last week. I think I needed to lose 9. Is that right Aaron?

I just skimmed ladies and gent. I have finally rejoined the rest of the world. I finished Breaking Dawn about 30 minutes ago!!!

Hey Peeps...Im back!
Honeymoon was fabulous, weather was gorgeous! We got home around 2am (UK time) and I haven't been to bed yet...couldn't sleep because of the rain bouncing off the windows!

Me too! Ive just finished the third book, and Im having withdrawal symptoms - I need to go and buy Breaking Dawn! I Edward!

Welcome home! So glad you had a fab honeymoon!

Breaking Dawn - GO get it! I told my friend that it's a good thing I'm married because if I read these books before I found my DH, no man may have stood a chance against Edward!

I'm going to California tommorow!!!!!!
just a "little" excited I am
I have my twilight book for the plane PLUS valium and dramamine..so i am good to go! Oh yah AND my fiance..he helps!

Have fun in Cali!!! Enjoy that book!

Hey Peeps!

Let's see if this link to some wedding pictures my girlfriend took works.

I glanced at these, but I will have to look at them more closely later. I did see enough to know that you were a BEAUTIFUL bride though! Just gorgeous!! Congrats again!

 

[dwheatl]

Back to say, Happy Birthday, Belle.

And, Lynda, tell DH on his WDW flight. Overcoming one's obstacles is a great feeling.

 

[UtahMama]

Love the pictures. Is Norah Mama's girl because you like to feel up witches' chests too?

Love the Billy Goats Gruff too. We just read that a couple of weeks ago.

Ha! I didn't catch that before!
NOOOO! (LOL!!!) I don't go around feeling up witches chests! I've always been b00b obsessed for a straight mama of 4 (weird I know). Guess what though? We found that the witch is stuffed with grocery bags. Mystery solved.

LOVE that book too!

Hey y'all. (I always feel like Paula Dean when I say that). No time to catch up right now. After gaining 0.2 pounds last week (which I think I failed to post), I lost 0.6 pounds this week, for a net loss of 0.4 pounds. But I'm slowly (very slowly) working my way down. I'm now at 157 pounds, my lowest adult weight. But I'm still 7 pounds from my Halloween goal (not bloody likely to happen) and 12 pounds from my ultimate goal of 145.

You are such a dude with your "net loss"
It IS bloody possible, Aaron!!!!
Kick it up a notch . You can do it! I think you can lose 5 at least!

Good Luck!

I'm a samer, 4th week running. I am really disappointed, been so good food wise, exercised most days. I just don't know what to do next to get the scales shifting!!!

I was -3 Monday but then it went up a pound per day since - no idea why!

Don't you love the Friday curse?

Hi everyone

Well, I gained 700lbs whilst on my honeymoon so you might not want to record my weight this week UM!

I am officially back on the wagon, so hopefully next week I can post a loss - fingers crossed!

Happy birthday Belle

Have a great day everyone

No free-pass for YOU blushing bride! LOL.
Welcome back on the wagon!

LOVE the teens! I remember not too long ago saying the same thing. Lynda too! The teens are just a bridge to the "00's"...then the "9's", baby steps!
Rock ON!

Last week you were +2.6 (HA!) (JK!!!! )
Breaking Dawn was smoking hot I tell you! LOVED it!
It IS funny that when I get into a new book, I eat less too

STUPID Halloween Challenge!!!!
(I need a kick in the pants, people!)

 

[dwheatl]

I'm glad you don't go feeling up witches' chests, UM. I hear they are VERY cold!
I have finished Breaking Dawn too, if anyone wants a PM conversation on it. My DD, 18, is reading it between her college reading and working all weekend, so I have to be patient with her. We both Edward, but i will say, I'm reading some Jane Austen now, and I do enjoy a hero with a few forgivable faults (as opposed to Edward's near-perfection).

 

[teruterubouzu]

Hey Peeps! Today was a field trip with Norah's Preschool to a local yuppy place called Gardner Village.

Very cute field trip photos, UtahMama.

I've been pretty quiet on the Dis this week. It was a crazy week at work and, well, I wasn't exactly eating all that well. I'm afraid to get on that scale I got last night. I vow that this week will be a bit better.

Danielle you are to funny! I miss you! Come back to the east coast so we can hang out again!

peeps, give me strength! we are going to a fall festival today (the first of about 3 that i will be attending this year) and there were be BAD THINGS there. you know, kettle corn, fried snickers bars, funnel cakes, frozen sweet tea. i will do my best.

moving on......

if you feel the urge to turn your TV to espn at 10:00 a.m. (EST) this morning you will be seeing my hometown vanderbilt commodores!!!!!!! i'm so excited that college gameday decided to go to nashville this week. it's such a big deal - vandy is doing so well this year and that's not normal. i don't think college gameday has ever been there. i wish i was there celebrating with my fellow 'dores fans!!! if you don't have a preference between auburn and vandy, CHEER FOR THE COMMODORES today!!!!!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

.... fried snickers bars...

A fried snickers bar?! Can I ask what it is fried in?!

 

[Disneyfreak92]

And, Lynda, tell DH on his WDW flight. Overcoming one's obstacles is a great feeling.

I will! Thanks! You know what this means Danielle? We ARE getting on the plane on Thanksgiving that will be taking us to DL!!! We'll have to discuss meet possibilities!

Hey Wendy! Forgot to say I enjoyed the field trip pics!

Yeah! Those teens look awfully good! Every time I get a new second digit, I get really excited! If I make my Halloween challenge goal, I'll be a fraction of a pound away from the "8's"!

That's right! I think I missed posting a gain I had right before the trip, but it went away too, so we are correct on my numbers. Thanks for keeping track! So basically I just lost what I gained on the trip (and just before). Works for me! I LOVED Breaking Dawn too! I am so thrilled with the series as a whole. What a story-teller that woman is! And yeah, I had no urge to get up from my chair for snacks when I was reading those books. Plus, I stayed on my bike for 50-60 minutes at a time, just plowing through the book and pedaling like crazy!

I have finished Breaking Dawn too, if anyone wants a PM conversation on it. My DD, 18, is reading it between her college reading and working all weekend, so I have to be patient with her. We both Edward, but i will say, I'm reading some Jane Austen now, and I do enjoy a hero with a few forgivable faults (as opposed to Edward's near-perfection).

Oh! I might take you up on that! I can't stop talking about these darn books. I've gotten DH reading them (He's on Eclipse), one of my best friends hooked (She probably finished New Moon last night), and a co-worker just started on my copy of Twilight. I am actually thinking I'll be putting a fair number of books on my Christmas list. Last year I got Hemingway and Dickens. I might ask for more of those. This year I'm thinking Austen and Bronte though. I definitely want Jane Eyre, Pride & Prejudice, and Sense & Sensibility. What Jane Austen are you reading? I might also ask for the first Stephanie Plum book since Wendy was so right about Twlight. But ONLY if I'm caught up on photography stuff, I think. Then there's an Anne Rice book I'm missing, maybe two. Geez! That's a lot of reading!

Good luck with your fall festival. I'm headed to a family reunion myself. And my family does not worry about eating healthy as a whole. I'll be taking small portions of my faves only, I think. And I'm taking Jasper, so she'll make a good distraction from the food for me.

Woo Hoo on college game day at Vandy! We are hoping to get one here at the U of I this year too. Good luck!

 

[teruterubouzu]

This week will be better!

Thanks! I just hopped on the scale and got 147.2. I was guessing I'd be closer to 160, so I guess that's something to be happy about. Now to get my bootay moving again.

I hope your guys win today! Frozen sweet tea sounds yummy, but not those fried snickers bars .

Have a great time!

Newbie here. I really need some help holding me accountable! I was at my highest weight before we adopted our boys 2 1/2 years ago, then, amazingly, lost about 35 pounds without even thinking about it (I think something about changing my life from sitting at a desk all day, everyday, to chasing around 2 active boys daily had something to do with it!)

Anyway, I'm back up to 155, and I really don't want to gain anymore. I need to lose about 20 pounds. I'm only 5 feet tall. I started doing yoga and walking, and I just joined Curves this week.

I thought your post was included in my multi quoted post

Anyway, I'm impressed at the (just) 2.5 gain ~ In context that is awesome! I've gained 14 pounds in 10 days before thanks to free dining

You can do it mama! 10 pounds in 3 weeks is doable. Hard but doable!
