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

[dwheatl]

I'm so tempted not to post my weight gain this week. I think I ate a whole bag of peanut M & Ms at the beach house this week, plus the buffet at the Indian casino (did I mention I won $100?). But I'm gonna cowboy up and admit the gain: up 3.4. I had a nice talk with DH about needing support, and he was so good today. We went to his sister's for 4th of July, but he timed it so we ate lunch before, had some fruit and veggies with the crew, and had dinner at home. Total calories for me for today - 1340, and I burned 385 at the gym. I'm going to take it one day at a time, and recommit.
Hope everyone had a great Independence Day.

Morning All!!!

Didn't get to post yesterday, so here it goes....+2.....Flo has been around this week and that may be my excuse, but not a good one. Next week will be better.

Aaron...I am going to commit to the challenge for Labor Day, so put me down at 10 lbs as well. I'd like to be higher, but I guess I'm playing it safe.

Wendy...You crack me up!!!! I've been there with trying to "sit on the potty" and it killing! The classes sound like fun! Hey...how's the house selling going??? We just lowered our price my $5000. Praying that helps.

Doing LOTS of painting around here. Finished my bedroom and working on the familyroom today. Trying more neutral colors for selling purposes.

Have a great Sat...I am painting then heading to work at 5!

ray is making pork tenderloin and his WONDERFUL potato salad and our neighbors are making the rest, so i'm sure it will be a caloriefest. our neighbors spend about $2,000 on fireworks every year so we always have a show in our front yard - it's great because we don't have to go anywhere!

Sounds yummy, can you tell ray to mail me some potato salad My cousin and his friend go to one of the Carolinas every year to buy fireworks and make up these plywood boards where they attach the fireworks to two boards and they attach they together and then they only have to lit it once and they go off in unison. Very cool. That drink sounds yummy too.

(did I mention I won $100?).

Yeah

That's so nice of him. Yeah for you

I did ok at the picnic. I had one hotdog (I usually have a hotdog and cheeseburger) with mustard, some pineapple casserole that my SIL makes and a taco salad and a small piece of chicken. For dessert is was crazy but I controlled myself and had one cupcake (my cousin's wife makes cupcakes in an ice cream cone every year and they are so yummy) and some jello that my mom made with cool whip. Oh and a piece of watermelon. But that was lunch and dinner so I'm pretty pleased considering I usually go wacky.

Oh Aaron put me down for 5 lb for Labor Day challenge I don't remember if I told you that already.

Hi Everyone! I'm back from Cape Cod. We had gorgeous weather and let me tell you there is nothing so relaxing as sitting on a beach watching fireworks that are being launched about a mile away. Lots of families with kids running around, just a terrific atmosphere. On the beach during the daytime yesterday, people actually brought flags with them and decorated the areas where they were hanging out. I truly think the Massachusetts peeps are the most patriotic anywhere!

Monica~ WOW! How is DH's recovery coming along?

Kat you look fantastic! I'm also 5'8" and you have inspired me. Can I put your picture up on my fridge?

Wendy, your buns look fantabulous! Must be all that exercise!

Welcome newbies! Everyone else, it's nice to see you again! It took me a long time to catch up! You folks have been busy!

Aaron thanks for keeping track of another challenge. You rock!
Put me down for 12 pounds for the labor day challenge please.

glad you had a great time...that comment warmed my heart..we are certainly patriotic at my house..our flag always flies

Sorry i am so late in the Weigh in..i did weigh myself Friday morning before we left for our overnight down in DC/Virginia...AF is around the bend so i was a "samer"..thats fine by me..i usually at least gain something before she shows up so that is actually a good sign.!

Aaron--could you please put me down for 6 lbs for the labor day challenge? I did so poorly with this last one that i want to TRY and play it safe with a lower #!

OH fun news..we now have a WII FIT!!!! I am off to try it out right now wheeeeeee

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Well Peeps, I keep forgetting to weigh in when I get up (been eating breakfast, working out, watching shows from the DVR first), and I've been sleeping in a little this 3-day weekend, so by the time I end up weighing, it's like 12:30, and the number on the scale is way different than what it is when I get up at 5:30 in the morning - like 3-4 lbs different. I'd prefer to weigh in at, or close to, the same time, or at least when I first get up. Anyway, I know I didn't come close to making my 7/4 challenge. And I know I want to lose at least 15 lbs by Labor Day. It might be just over that. I can say for sure tomorrow, after I weigh in in the morning.

Yep! Water is all I'm drinking and plenty of it, plus 1 crystal light a day. No soda for me since Sunday. I probably should do more cardio, but our treadmill isn't working right and it's just too darn hot to walk outside. I'm thinking of getting the Walk away the pounds DVD. Usually when I exercises I do 50% cardio and 50% weights, crunches, etc. I feel better today though because I know I'm doing the best I can and eventually I'll start to see true results. Thanks everyone for the hugs.

Today I am -1.2 . I was actually -2 yesterday but maybe my muscles are sore because I did do weights, strength training yesterday. I'm okay with the loss though because I officially started on Monday and today is only Friday.

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Keep it up Shannon! You WILL see results! And way to go on the loss!

Hi all,
Well, today was the Race for Life and....I did it!

Please excuse the crazy hair, it absolutely poured it down with rain! Running in the rain is hard!
Thats me on the left, with my aunt - my mum was taking the photo!It was a great day - very emotional. Everyone has a sign on their back which says 'I race for life for' and underneath you can put names, pictures, stories etc of people who have or had cancer or people who have been affected by it. Very sad, but such a worthwhile cause.
Hope everyones having a great day

GOOD FOR YOU!!! What a great cause! My mom is a 20-yr survivor of breast cancer, so it is a cause very close to my heart. What a wonderful thing to do!

 

[punkin413]

disneygalUK - what a great way to get exercise and for such a good cause! kudos to you!!!! we have a similar event here called relay for life. i was on the committee a few years ago for the law firm i used to work for and i stayed up all night walking for the relay. it was really an emotional day with all the cancer survivors there or people walking for others. but it was a great time and i loved the experience.

 

[HockeyKat]

Kat you look fantastic! I'm also 5'8" and you have inspired me. Can I put your picture up on my fridge?

Thanks!!!

DisneyGalUK, you are awesome.

Aaron, did you get my -2 from last week? I think I was about .4 from my challenge.

Which, brings me to part 2, which is called NOT tracking or watching over a holiday weekend. Oh well. I visited my parents in Pittsburgh over the weekend, and between the 4th picnic, a graduation party, etc...

However, I went shopping with my mom (YAY for no sales tax on clothes in PA!) and I was fitting in 10s with no problem! I got a TON of stuff... 1 pair of jeans, 1 pair of khakis, 3 pairs of dress pants, 1 little black dress, 3 nice work tops, 3 bikinis, 3 bra/panty sets (yes that size has changed too!), dress shoes, 3 pairs of sunglasses, and 4 t-shirts for working out, for $130. There is a store in PA that has a lot of factory 2nds and such... a lot of it was Ann Taylor Loft, some was NY&co, etc.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Can I say a HUGE thankyou to you guys for all your kind comments. You've really made my day!
Im so proud of me and everyone else for doing the run, especially with it being for such an amazing cause - so THANKYOU!!!
Also, I want to thank you for enabling me to run the race - without the support of the PEEPS I wouldn't have been healthy enough to run it - you guys rock!

Wendy - Soooo glad I didn't wear a polka dot bra! By the end of the race it looked like a giant wet t-shirt competition

Have a great day everyone

 

[DisneyObsession]

DisneyGal...I am so proud of you for doing this race!!! That really shows how much healthier you are!!!

This has been a buy weekend for me...I have done ALOT of painting (more to do today), worked Sat night and we went to see "Wicked" yesterday! What a great show!!! I now want the music from it! It was a great ending to the weekend.

Please send pixie dust that our house will sell. We lowered the price and I am getting frustrated. Noone is comng to look at it at all. Maybe we need to hang on to it a little longer...who knows.

Happy Monday everyone!!!

What a score on all the clothes. I was right with you on the several picnics for the holiday. I only had two but I didn't really go overboard which is a plus for me

Please send pixie dust that our house will sell. We lowered the price and I am getting frustrated. Noone is comng to look at it at all. Maybe we need to hang on to it a little longer...who knows.

Pixie dust coming your way. UM any news on your house yet?

Ok peeps holidays are over and tomorrow I go to WW after not being there for two weeks. My rings feel tight this morning so water, water and more water today that's for sure. I had a hot dog yesterday and some potato salad at a picnic for the holiday and today I'm feeling it. Here's to water drinking today.

 

[LMO429]

Hey Peeps!

Its been a busy, long weekend! I am pretty happy that for the next 4 weeks we only have one event/commitment (party/bbq/bridal showers) each weekend which means I can start following weight watchers better. It has been hard when Thur - Sun I am out and about going to dinners and parties. I am lucky because I have stayed relatively the same weight but I need to start putting the petal to the metal the wedding is in 12 workout weeks! I feel like i am saying the same thing every monday and that has to change. But I def feel like I can be more in control with less events going on during the weekend.

DisneygalUK: You look great!

HockeyKat: isnt it awesome to buy new smaller clothes! How cool!
