Ugh about the coach! At that age everyone should be getting playing time! It is a learning time.

If anyone does do a NYC meet, count me in. If I can be there I will be! I'm only an hour and a half away from the city and try to get there several times a year!:goodvibes

You got it:goodvibes

Here are some more pictures for your enjoyment.

Laura it looks like we hit all the same spots in NYC!:rotfl2: Isn't Grand Central Station beautiful? Though I must say I've never seen a car inside of there before!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Was there a car show going on?:confused3

Yes there was a car show going on - just two cars. Wait one minute while I call DH and ask him what kind ------------ok it was a Mazatari (that's definately spelled wrong). I do believe Grand Central Station is beautiful and i acutally teared up when I first saw it. I know I'm a sap.

Thanks DisneyGalUK - I think everyone in that station had the same pictures as well. Thanks for the compliment I try to take a lot of pictures so I can show the kids.
 

I would def meet up in NYC for a Peep Meet! I'm not good at organizing things but if we ever do one we could meet at the world of disney store its only a 15 minute train ride from my apt
 
Thanks everyone for the kind words. They really made my week. Just feeling sorry for myself lately I guess. Plus DS9 had some trouble over the weekend with a football coach. He wasn't playing all but two plays one game and one play last Saturday. DH said something to the coach and he kind of blew my DH off that he even spoke to him which made me made to say the least. Then last night the coach said something to another father about the whole talk thing, he didn't realize he was talking to the same person from Saturday. I did tell him it was my hubby he was talking to and his response to my son not playing - he needs to have more experience, how is he going to get experience on the side lines. But he is starting this Saturday, we shall see. Ok now back to our peep thread. Thanks for the vent.

DS had a coach like this in football when he was in 4th(?) grade. The team made it to the championships, which were in Oct, and of course it snowed that day here in Buffalo! We were losing pretty bad by half time, but the coach wouldn't play any other kids but "the chosen ones" who played both offense & defense!There were about 20 kids sitting on the bench dyng to play, but never given the chance. (My son being one of them.) It was extremely frustrating!:mad:

My husband weighed himself yesterday he gained 8 pounds on the honeymoon!!!!!!!!!!!!! :scared1: I am not going anywhere near a scale for at least 2 weeks, if it took me 2 weeks to gain weight it's going to take at least 2 or 3 weeks to get back to an acceptable weight now that I am back on track. Plus no more constant weekend parties/bbqs now that the summer is over I am sure we will have stuff to do but it will not be fri/sat and sun maybe just one night out a week as oppose to 2 or 3.

I swear we were on a mission in disneyland we had to try EVERYTHING food wise! Tigger tails I think (are those the corn dogs on main st), jalapeno pretzels, goofy candy, pumpkin muffins, monte cristo sandwiches at the blue bayou, mickey ice bars, candy apples, caramel ghost pretzels...it goes on and on. Sorry to mention these kind of food on the peep thread, but even though they tasted DELICIOUS and we enjoyed ourselves I have to admit I felt terrible physically the end of every night. Bad foods just make you feel bad! I'm glad we enjoyed ourselves but i'm glad that type of eating is over with at the end of the day it's really not worth it

How can you stay away from the scale that long???? :eek: I did fine in Disney, knowing there was no scale in the room, but once I was home, I went back to my daily scale hops! :confused3 What can I say??? I'm addicted to the scale!

Being on the dining plan really helped us this trip. We didn't eat as many snacks because we didn't want to run out of credits before we left. I was lucky and only gained 2.2lbs while away 10 days! I also didn't have that real yucky feeling at the end of the day...DH did twice, but I think that was caused by the dessert with our dinner. :confused:
 
Hi Peeps- Was I supposed to give my weight loss goal in my first post? Anyway it is 20lbs.




... I am hit by the sweetest most wonderful aroma ever. The store has set up an apple cider doughnut cart and is frying fresh, warm, sugared doughnuts a mere 20 feet from where I stand (think Typhoon Lagoon mini doughnuts but better, much better.) Will wants a doughnut. So I actually have to go up and be close to the doughnuts. I actually have to handle the doughnut as I give it to him.



Did Will really say he was hungry??:)
HI!!!
WHO could resist THAT??? I was licking my lips just thinking of those doughnuts!
I'm pretty certain your DH was playing the "Will Card" to convince you to stop and feast! :rotfl2: Men are such simple creatures!

Yes UM those are natural waves/curls. When it's humid we frizz really yucky. But I found out that if I put some kind of product in my hair (mouse or this cream stuff I use) keeps it from getting too frizzy so that's a plus. I'm from the 80's so my hair always had a little height, I am relucant to say I miss my 80's hair;)
I'm from the 80's too and spent a LOT of time making BIG hair and tunnel bangs!

The only time I frizz is when I'm in Orlando. UGH, I melt in humidity (plus inevitable rain).

I love that Bio Silk silicon drops for my "needing a trim" ends.
I'm always so jealous of natural curls!!!!

Stupid coach!!!! How on earth is your DS supposed to get experience :confused3

Sorry, I haven't been on much because of school things. I've been super busy. Anyways, I've sort of fallen off, but I've kept everything I lost off!
The only problem I'm having right now, is I have a rather large bone structure. I'm at probably 135 and I can already feel my hips, and my ribs. (All of my family has a large bone structure, especially in their ribs) I don't know what I should do because I still have fat on stomach, which I want to get rid of, but I don't know how I can without making my bones seem they are sticking out even more.

I know because of my hips and things, I probably won't get down to anything below a size 6 in jeans which if perfect for me.
Any ideas? My mom said to start doing sit ups, which I probably will soon.

Welcome back, Peep!!!!! You've been missed!
Wow, I don't think my skeleton weighs 135!
Hmmm, maybe just lower abs like tight crunches? Maybe it's not such a bad thing, like you'll have an automatic hourglass? :thumbsup2

HA-HA about your DH :lmao:
Those are all my favorite Disneyland foods too. I can only have a nibble of the Tigger Tails..the fake orange covering on the marshmallows makse me gag a little.
OHHHH..The Monte Cristo! :rolleyes1

I'm sickly glad you felt like crap after eating all that yumminess. THAT is somewhat helpful in preventing me from cheating at this very moment. :lovestruc

Sounds like you had a blast!

lilstint - such a great story! but if i've learned one thing in changing the way i eat it's DON'T STARVE YOURSELF! if you're hungry, eat a healthy snack. when you don't eat, you will initially lose weight. but then eventually you will stop because your body goes into starvation mode and CLINGS to whatever you give it. the best thing to do is to drink lots of water (which helps curve your hunger) and to eat healthy snacks between meals. it speeds up your metabolism and keeps you from overeating when you do finally eat a "meal."
Totally!
I even chew gum to buy me some time! It helps most of the time (for a few minutes anyway!)

Never...NEVER starve!
Be prepared with healthy food. :thumbsup2

Nice! We have stayed at Boardwalk Villas before, in May of 2006. We had a pool view, and we could watch Fantasmic from our balcony. I have pictures, but I'm at work right now. We have also stayed at BC and BCV. BC is my absolute favorite resort! We stayed there on our honeymoon and were upgraded to a ground floor, water-view room with a patio and at the end of a hall. It was FABulous!!! I don't like the Villas there as much as the rest of the resort though. We do want to try to stay in the same room as we did on our honeymoon sometime. Maybe our 10th anniversary or something. :) (I have a pic of the room number in an album.) We love the location of both Beach Club and Boardwalk! Great resorts!
I LOVE that resort! So close to World Showcase and Spoodles. I have got to stay there someday!!!!!

OH MY GOSH! Coool!
I've never been to New York.
Thanks for the tour!
 
hey all...i am still pretty :sick: ..had to stay home today because my throat was a mess, had no voice and my ears are still blocked up...now you would think it would be relaxing and i could just stay in bed all day..which i did..but we had roofers here all day re-shingling the roof...not the best timing, but i bet it looks good ( haven't gone outside today!)
anyhoo..i did a little update on my trip report..nothing exciting yet though, but i really felt like i had to do something!

Lauren..we were in room 5353 overlooking Grizzly..it was a great view!
I actually LOVED the tigger tails..i tried that and some pumpkin fudge for sweets. i LOVED the turbo fries or whatever they were called at taste pilots..oh my. i bet those are responsible for at least 3 lbs on my thighs!!

ok.well i have to go and try and eat a little something ...i just had oatmeal today and a piece of pork chop i made for dinner last night...
good night peepers!
 
Thanks everyone! :goodvibes:

Yes, I started at a size 14, and now I'm at an 8. I just want to get rid of all the fat down in my stomach which is where most of my weight goes.
I'll look it up, thanks for the suggestions!

I'm having a hard time giving up snacking on cashews. They're just so darn good, but I guess it's better than snacking on chips or candy. :)

ETA: I was also going to ask if any of you had any teenagers that have trouble with acne or did? What did they use to clear it up? It's another problem I'm dealing with and I can't find anything to work. I've tried proactive, murad, clean and clear, and a couple other things but I'm starting to think I'll just have to grow out of it.
 
Hi everyone. I ran into Wendy on another thread and she invited me back over here. I've missed you guys and would like to join back in as I could sure use the help. I've managed to keep most of my weight off but did gain a bit of it back from all of those crepes in Paris. Since I've been back from vacation, I'm eating everything in sight. I need to get back on track. I know you guys can help.
 
Yay, Faith is back!

True story. I had a dream I was in an airport, and they said some woman named Faith was looking for me. I thought, "It must be Pakey!" Weird, huh? I think it's because, when we had a stopover in Las Vegas this summer, we had to share the tarmac with a plane going to Bakersfield. It was weird. When they called us to board the plane to San Jose, we had to walk around the Bakersfield plane, then climb some portable steps to get onto our plane. So I think my subconscious put it all together, and poof, dreaming of you.

I saw another former peep on another thread, Traveling MUA (Tia). She said she has a new job and is hanging in there (she had health problems, if you remember). I told her to stop by, even if she wasn't at her most peepish. Hopefully, she'll stop by some time.

SO good to see you back! :) I was actually just thinking of you not too long ago hoping you would re-appear!

Still sick on this end. i hate missing work..HATE it...but i woke up with a fever, still can't hear and sound and feel like total pooh: :( ...so unless i want to infect the whole office and get worse, i figured i should just stay home today. ugh.

anyway..at least i haven't been eating much ;) hahah
 
Gina~ feel better!:hug:

snow white ~ 14 to 8!!!!!:thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 :thumbsup2 I didn't have any acne as a teen. Thought I was so lucky...turns out I got it as an adult instead:scared1: I've been struggling with it for years, but in the past 6 months or so have started using Biore ice face wash and it has workrd wonders for me! I think there are different types of acne so you just have to search until you find the product that is right for you. I do recommend that you goo a dermatologist if it is too bad. A few of my DDs friends had terrible acne. They went to a dermatologist and got the appropriate prescriptions and now there skin is really clear.

Danielle~ you are :wizard: you dream of Pakey and poof she shows up!
Could you maybe dream about Sandy, Melinda and a few more peeps who are MIA? Thanks!


Welcome back Pakey!

Morning Everyone!
 
Hey Peeps!

Just wanted to let you know that I won't be here for weigh-in tomorrow. I'm about to leave for California 'till Thursday (Monterey/San Fran) - I can't wait!

Hope everyone has a good loss tomorrow and a great weekend! :thumbsup2
 
Welcome back Pakey! I mostly lurk around here lately, haven't been very peepish over the last few months and have gained 10-15 lbs back. Bleah. I do need to recommit, maybe we can do it together?
 
I'm from the 80's too and spent a LOT of time making BIG hair and tunnel bangs!

Thanks for the tour!

I did the big hair and especially the big bangs too! The humidity we get here wreaks havoc on my hair, but nothing compares to the humidity we encountered last September in WDW. Wendy, do you remember how incredibly HUMID it was? That Biosilk stuff is great! I use it too. But I do have the natural waves, and sometimes it is just a lost cause to attempt to make it straight.

I've never been to New York either! I REALLY want to go though!! I am hoping if the economy improves, perhaps we could go sometime next year. I guess we'll see...

Cashews are WAY better than chips or candy! Way to go on going from a 14 to an 8! :thumbsup2

I have issues with acne myself, more so since I've been an adult. It isn't severe, but when I PMS, I get some icky break-outs, and spend the rest of the time in between PMS bouts recovering sometimes. I recently went to the dermatologist for a spot on my stomach that I was concerned about, and she noticed my break-out and ended up prescribing me a low-dose antibiotic and a cream for when I do break out, and it is certainly helping. I'm actually sure it would completely do the job if I could remember to take it all the time, but I'm bad about that. She did just switch me from a twice a day pill to a once a day one, so I only have to remember it once. That is helping! And I'm really excited that I've found something that is working, so I would suggest seeing the dermatologist for sure!

WELCOME BACK Faith!!! You've been missed! :hug: So glad to see you here!

I'm with you! Dream about more missing Peeps Danielle. I miss Sandy and Melinda!
 
Good morning guys. Thanks for all of the Welcome Backs. Spending 2 weeks in Europe was great but there's nothing like the daily peep check in to keep a gal's spirits lifted.

Danielle, that's too funny about the dream. I wonder if we were in Las Vegas at the same time. I go over there often to meet up with a disfriend (she lives in Ohio and we decided Las Vegas is a great halfway point). Maybe you saw me out of the corner of your eye.

Kat, come back over here and let's get each other whipped into shape. We're the same height and general weight so we can push each other. I need something to motivate me to get over the "shove cookie in mouth" disease.
 
PAKEYYYYYY!

WELCOME BACK!!!!
Here, let me go shop for an appropriate Welcome Back thingie:
