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

[LMO429]

That is awesome! I got back on Sunday from a week at Disney only to find I gained 9 pounds!!!! Yep, 9! We walked so much and I shared every single thing I ordered, so who knows how that happened.
But oh well. I'll get back on track and hopefully it will come off quickly.
Friday I'll still be way up though. Plus I have my birthday and Halloween coming up. Yikes. I'm trying not to panic, but it's not easy!

I hope everyone else has been doing well.

I bet you 5 of those 9 pounds is just water weight anyway it should come off right away.

I am convinced now that because I have consistenly being working out with weights for over 9mths that my metabolism has changed and I think maybe i burn calories aot faster now.

last night for some reason I ate sooo many Tostitos gold I went to my mom's house and they were just there staring me in the face,.....the best part is i dont even like them that much...Im just getting better with realizing not every day is going to be perfect (diet/exercise) as long as you have more good days than bad it should be all good

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Wish me luck this week! Both my oldest and youngest DDs have birthdays this week! DD(14) has another knee surgery tomorrow. Is it bad that I am worried more about the fact that the hospital waiting room has homemade cookies, than I am about my baby's surgery?

Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed of this but...

Congrats on the huge number. I see that you've added a few more since your big accomplishment. You will at 10,000 before you know it.

thats awesome about the metabolism change...now that i am finally getting my strength back after being sick for almost 2 weeks (yuck)..i am slowly getting into the swing of working out again..i will be adding weight work again next week...I def. agree that it boosts all sorts of goodness!

Do NOT panic!!! I know from Thanksgiving ---january will be a trying time for me in terms of eating right..i have decided that i will just have to really watch it on "non special" days and move alot more during that time. I do have a wedding in a year after all!

I bet some of it is water weight too. If not most of it.
I once gained 15 in 10 days from WDW's "free dining," UGH!

I have been thinking this very thing: the holidays coming up just around the corner. I worry about all of us!

The Halloween candy will be pure torture for me. I can't even BUY anything chocolate. Plus buying any candy this early isn't kidding anyone.

Then there's my Thanksgiving pies and tarts. OY!!!

I won't even mention that the entire month of December is full of treats .

I know if I can just maintain and possibly lose a few by compensating on the tread mill and stair climber, I should do ok. Hopefully!

Yay weight training!!!
I know this to be a fact too (bolded above)

Amazing!

Top weight training with a good 30-45 minutes of hard cardio, and I swear you become a fat burning machine!

Congrats on the huge number. I see that you've added a few more since your big accomplishment. You will at 10,000 before you know it.

Thanks!
10,000??? Yikes!

to any of the peeps that live in georgia or anywhere near here.....

please help! i found this little guy in the park today and he's a stray. he ran right up to me and gave me kisses - he's super friendly! i took him to the vet and they think he's about 1 year old. i had him dewormed (no evidence of worms but just in case because i have other doggies) and i also got his rabies shot. he's not neutered. PLEASE let me know if you're interested or know of anyone who might be! if we don't find him a home within a week or two, i will be forced to take him back to the vet and they will give him to the humane society to hopefully find him a home. he's so sweet and deserves a nice family to love him! we would love to keep him but we already have two doggies (beagles - what a coincidence!) and don't have the room for a third. if you want more pictures, let me know. i took this one with my phone but am happy to take more and send them.

 

[UtahMama]

Awww! Look at him!
What a sweet little wuppy!

Dawn, hope you find him a great home!

 

[::Snow_White::]

Aw! He's so cute, I hope he gets a nice home.

Today I started my wii fit back up. I ran for 20 minutes (equaled 3.500 miles) and walked 30 minutes (3,500 steps) and did yoga for about 40 minutes this morning. I'm worn out!

Only 36 more minutes and I get a silver minute counter on the wii fit. I'll then have done 20 hours!

woohoo! good for you! I need to dust off my good ole wii fit! I can't remember the last time i used it..its going to be MAD at me!!
I did go to the old fashioned gym tonight though, just 35 min. on the treadmill..i am slowly working back into working out, i still have a stubborn cough and the snuffles so i don't want to relapse into being super sick again!
I've been a very good peep with my eating 3 days and counting

Dawn..what a sweet boy!!! I am sending out good vibes that you find a great home for him..who could resist those puppy eyes!????

 

[missnarwhale]

holy moly it's been forever! I dnt have Internet at home, hence my absence. I'm actually typing this on my phone. It's rather difficult. I just had to say hi! Of course I haven't lost any weight whatsoever but midterms are over, so no more stress eating!

I hope everyone is well! I guess I'll have to play catch up for awhile!

I hope so!

That's good your metabolism has changed for the better. Exercise is still my downfall.

Yep, to say the least. LOL

I know if I can just maintain and possibly lose a few by compensating on the tread mill and stair climber, I should do ok. Hopefully!

I have a huge bag with over 25 lbs of Halloween candy in it that we got from the Disney Halloween party. Good stuff too like Snickers and Ghirardelli. I've gotten into it so many times today. I should get rid of it but we are saving it for Trick or Treaters on Halloween. If there's any left by then.

I have cupcakes to make for a school party. A birthday. My DD's b-day and Thanksgiving in Nov, my son's b-day and Christmas in Dec.

Why do I feel like I am never going to get back on track???

If I can just get on track and lose even half a pound a week between now and New Years, I'd be beyond thrilled.

 

[punkin413]

i just had to share this with you guys. i was on myspace and i saw an ad that said, "I LOST 43 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS!!!!" i'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous.

 

[mousehouselover]

Ok, so here I am, up waaaaaayyyy too late watching HSM for the very first time and I come across this pic that I just had to share with everyone.

http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/funny-pictures-weight-watcher-cat-fridge1.jpg

I won't have a problem staying out of the fridge if a cat like that was in there guarding the food all the time.

It's 1 more day until weigh day, make it count!

 

[LMO429]

I don't know where I have been put I just realized it's so close to "Holiday Season" already!!! Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years!! OH MY!!!

I think my goal this year during the holidays is not to lose weight but rather to maintain what I have accompolished so far. I think I am learning from the mistakes I have made the past 33 years of my life. Every holiday sesaon I would try to severly restrict sweets this time of the year and then I add to my misery by telling myself I'm going to lose 15 pounds by christmas and it always back fires on me!!! yr after year I wind up gaining even more weight and then I just tell myself OH WELL im gaining weight I might as well just start on January 1. January 1 rolls around and I feel like I have to start all over again. I sick of the ups and downs.........This year I'm adjusting my attitude when it comes to holiday food.... I will continue with my routine and my weekly weigh in but if the scale says 130 pounds or more than I have to be more strict. Yesterday I weighed 127 pounds, my goal is to weigh 118 pounds by the time I go to Disney in May. I guess what I'm trying to say is if I dont weigh 120 by christmas this year ...its OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am going to balance for once enjoying myself one day and being healthy the next and if I'm not at my goal by new years it's fine!!! it will be much better to weigh the same on Jan 1 as I weigh today as oppose to having to re lose the 22 pounds I lost all over again because I let myself go during the holidays trying to keep up with "unrealistic expectations that are in my head!"

Lauren...I actually feel better about this holiday season than I have in a long time. I am exercising regularly and since I really can't eat chocolate anymore, (it gives me horrible heartburn & not worth the pain) I think it may be easier. I am hoping anyway.


Dawn...I hope you find a home for that puppy! He's adorable!!!

[pixie dust 112]

HI all! Just trying to catch up! Yesterday was my oldest daughter's birthday, she turned 17. (How the heck did this happen? )

My middle daughter had surgery yesterday. You might remember that she tore her meniscus last April during track. SHe went thorugh all of the PT and had a second MRI which showed that everything had healed perfectly! So anyway, despite this she was still having alot of pain and swelling especially when she was really active (like soccer practice). They ran about a zillion tests on her ....lyme, rheumatism and goodness only remembers what else, everything came back negative. The doctor told her he hated to do it but he had to get back inside that knee to see what was going on, because a strong, helathy 14 year old girl should not be having these problems. He was hoping that one of the fasteners had come undone and was floating around, causing the irratation. Well it turns out that at some point she retore her meniscus. During the MRI it was just sitting in a closed position so looked totally healed. So over the course of the past few months the tear opened up a bit (luckily still only a minor tear). So he rerepaired the meniscus and he'll be taking it much slower this time. He was soooo upset. He said her pain must have been horrible these past few months. (But whenever we go to see him, she says it's only about a 2 on a scale of 1 - 10, so we all looked at it as discomfort, rather than real pain) She now says "well it really, really, hurt but I wanted to keep playing soccer!"

Last time he was pretty agressive with her treatment because she is an athlete and in such great shape....that kid is STRONG! Also she was really doing things in PT much sooner than they expected. Well now he is taking things very slowly. She is not started PT until the 17th (last time she started about 10 days post surgery). She is going to have to miss indoor track season, as that starts on the 10th of November.

She is looking forward to PT as she Loves her physical therapist and his assistant. They really do have a great relationship!

Tomorrow is my youngest daughter's birthday. She will be 13...yup 3 teenage girls in the house at once! Her big plan was to get home from school, go to build a bear (an hour away from us), come back home, go out to dinner, and then go see HSM3 with her sister and NSalz's girls. We explained that there is not enough time in the day for that! SO she wil be going to HSM with the girls and if we can get early enough tickets we can then go to dinner. I'm going to try to get tickets later as I'm sure the movies will be mobbed tomorrow!

Love it!
I was "up" in my pre-weigh-day peek at the scale. Grrrr. So tonight I'm all over the last chance workout concept (like on Biggest Loser without the vomiting).

i just had to share this with you guys. i was on myspace and i saw an ad that said, "I LOST 43 POUNDS IN 2 WEEKS!!!!" i'm sorry, but that's just ridiculous.

Great attitude! I read that twice!
I'll just keep plugging along but not completely forgo the treats. I plan on doing healthy versions of the stuff I love. Luckily, I love soup and can do a lot of very healthy yet filling yet nutritious soups and stews in the crock pot. I'll balance any treats with healthy.
That's my plan anyway!

[DisneyLaura]

I have been away from the boards so I have a lot to catch up on

HELP!

heh. I made Homemade baked macaroni and cheese today. At first I thoought it was ruined because I had too much cheese and not enough "mac", but after baking it...ohhhh myyyy gaaaaawsh! I did taste it, but instantly backed off.
Yes my "taste" was about 1/8th of a Cup...causing me huge DIS-tress. Oh well. I'll kick-it on the tread mill tonight

I swear I love comfort type foods like that.

OHH comfort foods

That would be awesome a FB PEEP GROUP! LOVE IT!

Ok i just finished Twilight and I dont know what to think about it. Then I watched the movie trailor and the trailor looks much better than the book I just read.

are the books after Twilight better than the first one!?

I wanna be on facebook. I signed up but what do I do next. I LOVE TWILIGHT SERIES

Is it bad that I am worried more about the fact that the hospital waiting room has homemade cookies, than I am about my baby's surgery?

Have a cookie

Hey! Facebook Peeps! I figured out how to create a group on FB, and I sent invitations to all the Peeps I currently have on my facebook friends. I just sent friend requests to a few, so I couldn't invite you yet, but once you confirm me, I will. I'm going to try to figure out how to make some others administrators or something since I don't have that much time to make updates, but I figured I could get the ball rolling.

Count me in, see above post to Lauren

That is awesome! I got back on Sunday from a week at Disney only to find I gained 9 pounds!!!! Yep, 9! We walked so much and I shared every single thing I ordered, so who knows how that happened.
But oh well. I'll get back on track and hopefully it will come off quickly.
Friday I'll still be way up though. Plus I have my birthday and Halloween coming up. Yikes. I'm trying not to panic, but it's not easy!

I hope everyone else has been doing well.

Congrats on just 9 lbs. I can't wait to read your TR and see all your pictures

I have been thinking this very thing: the holidays coming up just around the corner. I worry about all of us!

The Halloween candy will be pure torture for me. I can't even BUY anything chocolate. Plus buying any candy this early isn't kidding anyone.

Then there's my Thanksgiving pies and tarts. OY!!!

I won't even mention that the entire month of December is full of treats .

Yes that's right the next three to four months are food tortures for us all, all of those christmas cookies, not good

to any of the peeps that live in georgia or anywhere near here.....

Oh I wish we lived near you because I would take him in a heartbeat. He is too cute

Her big plan was to get home from school, go to build a bear (an hour away from us), come back home, go out to dinner, and then go see HSM3 with her sister and NSalz's girls. We explained that there is not enough time in the day for that! SO she wil be going to HSM with the girls and if we can get early enough tickets we can then go to dinner. I'm going to try to get tickets later as I'm sure the movies will be mobbed tomorrow!

For your DD and her surgery. For three girls in their teenaged years. My DD is almost 3 (11/22) and she wants to go see HSM3 so me and the boys are going Sunday.
