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

[WI_DisneyFan]

I am -1.8.....

This puts me.... IN THE 150s!!!!!! I am 159.6 as of this morning, my lowest weight in years. That puts me at 58.4 lost and about 10 lbs from goal.

Way to go!!! Getting into the 150's is one of my big goals as well; and I am so happy for (and a little jealous of) you for getting there!

I am Down 2.8 this week. I was super good all week until last night, when we had a meeting and I had "just a few bites" of Chinese food. I looked up the calories this morning to add to my journal, and a few bites came out to 430. Good thing I had eaten pretty lightly the rest of the day and had been to the gym. I knew the 2 bites of sweet and sour pork were bad, but the Chinese chicken salad caught me by surprise; 220 for half a cup!

Well my daughter is all over going to camp! She leaves on Monday!

So not only does she get to go to camp next week, we had already signed her up for a different camp with our church that is at the end of this month! Between camp going up north with her grandparents and going to Iowa with us she is going to be pretty busy this summer! What a lucky girl!

Woo hoo. Free camp! sing it; "I've got a golden ticket!"

Has anyone seen Melinda or Sandy lately?

I see Melinda at Nebo's report, but not since 7/5. Maybe they are on vacation this week?

Welcome to the 50s! You are amazing.

honeymo, be careful of bagels. One deli-style bagel with cream cheese can be as much as 500 cals! Some of the big muffins are as bad or worse. Try a fiber one bar, they are only 130-140 and are very filling. Pierogies and kielbasa! I am jealous. Where is Ridley Park, is it near Pgh or Philly?

I'm near Philly. I live about 20 min from the city and I work in the city. I get bagels and muffins from a bakery with nutritional info - bagels are about 400 w/ cream cheese and the muffins are about 300. Considering my lean cuisine is usually only 250 I don't mind eating a little more at breakfast. I eat at 7:30 and then at 1pm so I need a more filling breakfast. I used to eat granola or protein bars but I was famished by 11 with them.

 

[UtahMama]

I was only down .4 this week. but I'll take it! I feel like at least it's "down", but I worked out all but one day BIG TIME for about 2 hours each time!

I am telling myself that muscle weighs more than fat...

My new magazines I'm reading cover to cover is OXYGEN and Women's Health. Serious great information!

 

[punkin413]

I had my first hair trial for the wedding yesterday. I loved the way my hair came out but I noticed and my mom noticed I had 7 grey hairs!!! I dont want to dye my whole head for 7 grey hairs one, should I just pull them out or is there a way just to dye the couple I have...Im so depressed I never had greys before and 2 months before my wedding I am getting them...

how old are you? i will be 32 next week and i have LOADS of grey hair. i just dye my hair and get blonde highlights to sort of mask them though. i mostly have them around my temples and crown of my head, but there are LOTS of them there. and they're a different texture than my normal hair - all wirey and weird! it's really annoying. i pluck the obvious ones when i know i shouldn't. my mom and my grandmother both had WHITE hair at a young age, so i'm doomed.

it does!!!! plus if you're sore you're gonna weigh more. don't get too discouraged by the scale because when you work out you ARE building muscle and therefore you won't lose as much. but your clothes will start fitting SO MUCH better!

 

[UtahMama]

Punkin, you are sooo right!

I am super sore EVERY day I work out. Working my off!

I'm eating "clean" and drinking non-hooch

So I KNOW that must be right. My waste-band on my new "skinny" jeans are getting loose! FUNNY how the danger zone is what I'm working the most is not shrinking as nicely. Such a Pear!!!!

 

[mommaU4]

Momma - I'll be at the World, but we'll all be having a great time with the mouse. I still haven't made it out to Cali yet - someday.

Well, hopefully you will make it out there someday soon. At least once so you can say you've been.

VENT COMING
I had the exterminator out yesterday because we have roaches (eww) in the side yard. Whenever I walk outside now, I find more of them lying on their backs, dying. It is NASTY, yet satisfying because I know I got my money's worth. When the guy was here, my neighbor came out and YELLED at him that she owned the fence (no, we each paid for half) and that he couldn't spray it because she has showdogs. I had already asked about pets being safe, and I would have talked to her if she wasn't such a "mother dog" herself, if you know what I mean. I get a free re-spray within 90 days, and if I see roaches on the fence between now and then, I'm going to tell her she better move her dogs for the spraying, because I'm sick of skittering critters every time I go out at night. And just so you know, I don't live on a trash heap. We are in the midst of a drought, and the roaches are looking for anything (garbage cans, pet bowls, etc) that has some moisture. Bleh!

I don't blame you for spraying. I would have done the exact same thing you did.

So not only does she get to go to camp next week, we had already signed her up for a different camp with our church that is at the end of this month! Between camp going up north with her grandparents and going to Iowa with us she is going to be pretty busy this summer! What a lucky girl!

Wow, that's great news!! She's going to have a blast.

Don't ya just love getting older?? Just use that as an excuse that you need to treat yourself to weekly massages......you know, to reduce the stress and all.
I'm glad you liked your hair style though!! Minus the few gray hairs that is.

All for the Birthday wishes yesterday! We had a delicious lunch at Olive garden, looked at 6 houses a found one we liked. I need to call to a get a mortgage pre-approval and then we may put in an offer. We also showed our house and the woman it! Her DH is in Ohio on business, so they are coming back on Sat with him to look again! WOOHOO!!! We are praying they make an offer!

Oooooh, I'll be hoping they make an offer for your house and that you get the one you liked!!

Isn't that terrible? I love Chinese food and I was really shocked (and bummed!!) to see just how fattening it is.

 

[mommaU4]

Well, I have to report that I am a SAMER this week.

It's my own fault. I didn't do any exercising last week, didn't drink as much water as I should AND cheated way too many times. In fact, I guess it's good I'm not up considering.

But it's a new week! Time to get serious again and get back on track so I can make my Labor Day goal!!

Congrats to all those who lost this week and good luck to everyone for next week!! We can do it!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I'm -0.8 lbs. Not much but I'll take it. I'm going to the fair tonight to watch my niece compete in the baby show. Must resist carnival food. Must resist carnival food. Must resist carnival food.

I am 33 yrs old! I know I am fortunate that this is the first time I am every seeing them but upsetting non the less especially since its a couple of months until my wedding...

i agree about the working out and the scale..I weigh in once a week NO MATTER WHAT..and take my measurements every month

I've been reading Beth's trip report, and she has a good reminder about splitting something if you really want it (also some really naughty food porn ). Our fair has cinnamon rolls that are the best (Beth - they're from the place you went to in Pismo ), and they only come around once a year, so splitting one with DH is better than moping around eating junk that is not that great. If I feel deprived, I end up binging on something dumb. If you really want something there, make a plan, eat a small portion, and move on. Or, if you can resist, so much the better.

 

[HockeyKat]

LMO, I started going grey at 17. I am probably 50%+ now (and that includes everywhere, which is sorta freaky). So, I feel your pain.

UM, working out in my experience will slow the actual weight coming off the scale, esp if you do weight training. But it will also make you like your body more in the end, and help to keep the weight off.


Thanks everyone!! Aaron I was jealous when you were under 165, so hopefully you will catch up again and we can trade places.

 

[punkin413]

Such a Pear!!!!

i hear ya, pear!!!

 

[monymony3471]

Well the scale didn't do any magic tricks for me today. I am still up 1.2 from vacation

Has anyone seen Melinda or Sandy lately?

Yes they are around the moovers thread.

I'm on facebook!!! My kids talked me into going on.

Off to breakfast with a GF this morning to celebrate my bday some more. Because of all the bday activities, I am taking a pass on WI today. I'll post next week.

I thought it was Gina's birthday yesterday? I messed it up again.

Hope YOU had a great birthday.

Morning all!

First off, I forgot to thank everyone for the kind words earlier this week after my little pity-party rant about not being happy with what I see in the mirror. It is much appreciated!

Now then, on to the business at hand. Despite a particularly bad 4th of July weekend, I still managed to lose 0.6 pounds this week. This loss gives me grand total of 53.8 pounds lost since January 2007; and an uber-grand total of 77.8 pounds lost since March 2005 (which represents a 32.42% loss in body weight). I am now at my lowest adult weight of 162.2; 7.2 pounds from my Labor Day goal of 155; and 17.2 pounds from my final goal of 145.

I also completed Week 2 of the Couch to 5k program this week. The running is getting a little easier, and I'm pretty sure that is contributing to my losses the past few weeks.

Have a great day, and an even better weekend everyone!

I missed that, but even from what I remember from months ago, you looked very handsome. We all get frustrated from time to time, hang in there, you are among so many wonderful people.

I am -1.8.. Considering I was not good over the 4th and my exericse last week was nil due to this cold/stomach bug, I am pretty excited about that.

This puts me.... IN THE 150s!!!!!! I am 159.6 as of this morning, my lowest weight in years. That puts me at 58.4 lost and about 10 lbs from goal.

That is so awesome, congrats. You totally earned that.


Hey,

Tim had his follow up apt today.

Although he had Renal cell carcinoma stage 3 kidney cancer, it's all gone.

There was no other cancer outside the kidney itself.

He will have to see an oncologist just for monitoring purposes only.

Thank you all for all of your prayers, kind words, thoughts, and just being a great support group. I will always remember this and be so grateful.

that is so great to hear!!!! i wish i could give you a real hug.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

OK, first of all - weigh in! I am down .6 from my last Friday weigh in, which was two weeks ago. And Aaron, I am down 1.2 lbs from my starting weight for the challenge (202.2). So I'm at 201 again. It was less yesterday actually, but hopefully I'll see a nice loss next week.

Keep Peepin' on, and you'll see the difference! I know you can do it!

Monica,
I am so happy for you and Tim. I'm keeping the prayers coming, and adding in prayers of thanksgiving. to you and your family.

We just got home from seeing Wall-E, and I loved it. Except the whole roach thing of course; a little too close to home. And forewarned is forearmed, as my mom always told me. I took a Fiber One bar and skipped the popcorn. Thanks to everyone who ate popcorn for me so I didn't have to. <not me!

That's so cool they have those same cinnamon rolls! For something like that where it only comes around once a year and if it's something you really like, I would splurge on that.
Having a plan is always good, and so is sharing. With four kids that's easy for me to do! Someone always wants what I'm having. Don't know how I even managed to gain so much in the first place.

For me, the sad part is I gained some of my weight from the stuff they didn't want. I don't know how many cold french fries, soggy ice cream cones, etc. I've eaten because I didn't want the kids to 'waste" food.
