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

[HockeyKat]

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.

I am probably not your general weight anymore! I had gotten down to 159 but am back up to about 175 or so. I would really like to get back in the 150s at some point in the next few months.

My life has been really stressful lately. I had 2 mos of job searching which started the downward spiral. I did start a new job a month or so ago, which I LOVE, but home life has its ups and downs and that makes me shove food in my mouth to feel better.

PM me and we can email for more help,if you want.

I have a girls night out tonight and a friend coming for the weekend, but I am hoping to at least stay somewhat good and then recommit hardcore on Sunday.

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!

Absolutely beautiful that area is!
MUST have sour dough bread and fresh clam chowder for me!
OK, I'll put "FP" on your spread sheet column for "Free Pass"

Kat! I know how that goes wanting to shove food in my mouth to feel better Funny we don't "require" veggies and bonless/skinless chicken when we're hurting

I'm so glad you have a great new job. But sorry about home life (SO can sympathize) Have FUN with the girls nightout and friend weekend!!

Love to you Kat!!!


Pakey- Have I mentioned I'm soooo happy you're back??

Another lurking peep chiming in. I've kept up with everyone; I've just been quiet lately. I was feeling great about myself yesterday, the scale said I'd lost 6 lbs in 3 wks and I haven't really been trying. Sadly this morning I was up 4 lbs!!!! I thought I ate conservatively yesterday so I don't know what is going on. I ate lots of fiber for breakfast so I'm hoping I can shed a bit of the increase before weigh day.

DH took me to lunch today for my birthday. We had soup and salad; easy on the diet and on the budget. I wish I had bigger plans to celebrate but we're headed back to NC Sat morning. It's ok, I kind of like low key celebrations. Next year though, I'll be in WDW celebrating.

Happy Birthday!

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.

WELCOME BACK!!!!!! So glad you decided to join us again!

I've been out of town for work since late last week on a last-minute trip, so I didn't get a chance to weigh in last Friday; and even though I tried to make good choices, it is tough when you are eating out every meal for almost an entire week. (Kinda like a Disney Trip, only not nearly as much fun.) So this Friday might get kinda ugly. But I'm back on track starting today...

Anyway, here are the results from the past two weeks (just to make sure I didn't miss anybody last week.)

 

[UtahMama]

WIDF, so... I DID IT???

SWEET!

This would be my one of two goals I've actually achieved! Aim low, I guess?
For the next one, I want to lose 5 pounds again. Doable in the 6-8 weeks per goal. Knock on wood.

Welcome back!! We've missed you around here!

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.

I remember Tia, glad to hear her health problems have somewhat improved. It would be great for her to stop by!

Hope everyones having a great day - Im off to read the last two chapters of Breaking Dawn!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Thanks! I'll look for the Biore stuff when I go shopping this weekend. I haven't tried that yet.
Yeah, I've asked my mom to take me to a dermatologist but she insists that I don't need one. At the moment it's not absolutely horrible, but it makes my face really red. I break out continously, so I never break out more at certain times than others. Usually everything I try works for a week and dries my skin out then it'll stop working. My grandmother told me hers was worse then mine when she was in school and she just had to grow out of it, which is why I think my mom says I don't need a dermatolgist. Either that or the cost.

Mmmm sourdough bread.

Thanks so much for the love and hugs. It really means a lot.

So happy about your progress!!

Okay guys, today was Boss's Day (who knew???) so my staff bought my lunch for me today, Carls Jr Sante Fe Chicken Burger loaded with FAT. So I ate it but it's my last meal cuz tomorrow I'm doing my start weight. They also got me a new Webkinz. Yes, I'm addicted to the computer game for children because it's just my speed.

Aaron, is there a current challenge going or are you just tracking everyone's week and cumulative scores? I feel like I turned the TV on in the middle of a good movie!! I'll get caught up with everything soon.

Wendy, loved the Kotter pic. Did you know he does the announcing on High Stakes Poker (my husband watches, I have no comment). Like the rest of us, he has AGED. I think he could use some of your beauty secrets.

Oooooh! Don't forget to let me know what you think! Can't wait to hear your opinion.

Are your breakouts painful? I know mine are sometimes. I hope you find something that works for you. I know how frustrating it can be.

Not really. Some just hurt when you touch them or accidently scratch them and they open up. (And sometimes bleed, but a wet rag usually makes it stop) Then there are some that are just bumps. I have a couple on my shoulders, and back but they just pop up every once in awhile.

I have what looks like scars on my cheek but it's actually just small red bumps. I usually get them on my cheek or forehead, but occasionally get them on my eyebrow which is the worst place ever IMO. It does get frustrating.

Thanks.

OMG. Mister Kott-errrr! Too funny.

Not looking forward to weigh-in tomorrow. Good luck to the rest of you all.

Thanks for the back and the wishes. Wendy, those monkeys are so cute.

I had a good day; work went well and my family members all had perfect timing so I could talk to each one of them for a bit. I feel so today.

My DSis also has an acne problem, a lot like you've described. She never 'grew out of it' and is now seeing a dermatologist. She would have luck with something for a few weeks and then she was right back where she started. She is now 29 and felt so self conscious about it.

Where in NC will you be?

So happy about your progress!!

Thanks and congrats on the new job!

We're going to be about an hour west of you, just east of Greensboro.

Our original plan was to go and start helping the boys take care of MIL's things. We weren't going to split up everything or remove a ton of stuff from the house; mostly things DH had left there and start on the things that have to be disposed of. DH is really worried about his brothers so he was hoping for some down time with them as well. Now we have to go to a second cousin's first birthday because the whole family will be there, church is somewhat of a given on Sun but it sounded like there were more plans for Sun afternoon too. This is why we've pretty much avoided going down for a visit. Everytime we go almost all our waking moments are monopolized by various people then they sit around talking to each other about things we know very little about.

Lynda, Lauren and whomever else is headed to the World just before Memorial day next year: We're planning a trip for that week too! It's DD#2's birthday week and we've been anxious to use our DVC so with the new celebration theme, I figured it was perfect timing. I see a Peep meet in the making.

I've got to go......... it's 1 am and we have an 8am appt tomorrow. Thank goodness for Starbucks..........

FYI: There is someone who posts birthday wishes for every single DIS boarder. I didn't know this until April (6 mos after my last b-day) It was kind of neat to see the greeting and have 2 happy birthdays from people I don't even know.

Hi there Noni, Happy Belated Birthday

I hate to tell you but I still break out every time of the month and I'm 38. I thought it was supposed to stop. I'll tell you what really helped me when I was younger (now I'm just too lazy to wash my face every night AND morning, I just do it in the shower with my regular soap, very bad I know). Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash. It's orange. IT WORKED GREAT. Try that every morning and evening wash your face. I went to the dermatologist right before I got married and that's what they told me to use. I also took pills every day to help not break out but I stopped them shortly after I got married. I would try the Neutrogena first and see how that works.


I'm -2 lb. OMG I love of not having the pressure of WW. Of course I have a wonderful support system with my DH but my peeps are the best.

 

[teruterubouzu]

Morning everyone! I've been reading along, but not posting this week.

I'm down 1.1. I think I'm going to sign up for Weight Watchers online. The points things might help me be more accountable for what I'm eating. I also think I'm going to move my exercise bike back into the living room. That way at least I'll feel a bit guilty if I see it sitting there being used as a coat rack.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey Peeps

Im -0.5lb - not as good as I'd hoped, but I did a lot of exercise this week (Blame Breaking Dawn - I was reading it while on the cross trainer!) so hopefully im retaining water or something like that?

Laura - I find that the class weigh-ins can sometimes be too much pressure - I much prefer the peeps!

Have a great weigh day everyone

 

[pixie dust 112]

Morning all! Happy Friday! Welcome back Noni!

I am +.4 today. Aunt Flo stopped by for a visit last night though, so I ok with it. Hopefully I'll make up for it in next weeks weigh in! Have a great weekend everyone! We have our homecoming football game tonight. It is supposed to get below freezing overnight and will probably be in the 40s during the game. My DD is a senior this year and will get recognized with all the other marching band seniors. She gets a flower. Hopefully we get homebefore the flower freezes! Glad the marching band wears gloves. Not so nice when the temp is in the 80s, but great for tonight. All of these senior year things make me very weepy! I am sure to cry when they announce her name!

Sad note, this morning my DD(14) told me that her friend's dad died on Sunday. The kids had the same classroom teacher every year in elementary school. Incredible nice young man. The dad had alot of health problems, but I certainly wasn't expecting to hear this news.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I talked to my mom and she's gonna try getting me some new stuff to try. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. A couple of my cousins have had to go to a dermatologist for theirs too, so if nothing works she might consider it.

I haven't weighed myself in about a month so I can't remember where I started from. I'm pretty sure I was close to this certain weight which would make me -2 lbs.

 

[LMO429]

Hey Peeps! I am not weighing myself for a couple of weeks until I feel more comfortable with myself after the honeymoon.

But I have been back on Track since we got home monday been working out/doing ww online also and I feel better already
