[punkin413]

DANIELLE!!! i'm glad i "saw" you over here. wasn't it you that was talking about princess di at disney once? well, someone posted about that over on my TR. go to page 97 and look for a post by End User-X.

 

[Piper05]

Can you tell me where you were at? My hubby and I are thinking of taking a trip somewhere for our 20th anniversary It's still 2 years away ( I'm working on Disney ) but one thought we had was to travel out east and stay in haunted inns ect... But a plantation! Now that is cool!

We stayed at the Jefferson House at the Rip Van Winkle Gardens in New Iberia, LA. It was owned by the movie and stage actor who played the character Rip VW in various venues around the world.

 

[Piper05]

I'm finally here. I've been having problems with my cable/internet all day. I am -3.6 this week.

I am still trying to download my pics from my stay at the plantation. My husband took them on his camera he uses for work, and they don't seem to want to upload. Maybe there is something the ghosts don't want us to see. He has his IT guy working on them this weekend. Have a great one!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

OMG i so understand that!!! if it wasnt for the everyone looking at me part I would actually be really looking forward to the wedding!

I know! My friends keep trying to 'help' by saying things like 'Its your day, everyone is there to look at you!' - Erm thanks, that doesn't reallly help

Hi, my name is Diane and I don't know if its too late to start on this thread, but if not here's some info...

I'm 42, 5'1", and I weighed 145 at my last Dr's appt a few weeks back. One year ago I was 164, so I am losing slowly. I have a few health issues (HBP, autoimmume disease, cervical disc disease, and well a lot more). Exercise is limited but not impossible. I don't eat enough! Not many people have that as a problem. But the majority of my calorie intake is after 10pm. when I take my pain meds. I refuse to take them during the day because of my kids. We are going to Disney is Sept and my goal is to take off 8#'s before the trip and 20 total by the start of next year. I have never really dieted before. I also have not read this thread yet... I will though! Not sure if anyone posts pics, but if so, I will come back for that one, so I guess the first step is...


Hello!!

(I joined here around the 215 mark.)

Thread Dude Aaron - I know I say it everytime, but you look FABULOUS!!

cool!!! take my advice - practice walking in your wedding dress with no assistance from either hand before you go down the aisle!!! i didn't and i almost tripped like 3 times over the front of my dress. i didn't think about it but i was constantly lifting my dress up with my hands when i'd walk. well, walking down the aisle my dad had one arm and i was carrying flowers in the other, so i had no hands to help me!

Thats really good advice, because thinking back I have been using my hands to hold the front of my dress - never even thought that my hands wouldn't be free!
Thats tonights job - practise walking!

Hope everyones having a great day!

Hello!!

WELCOME DIANE!!! It is never too late to join in on all the fun!

I am having trouble fitting in the exercise, but know I really need to. I have been working overtime the last 2 weeks, and haven't had the time in the morning to do it. That is my major goal this week...exercise at least 4x's!

UM...One of the things I did at the beginning of this challenge was take my measurements. I really wanted to be able to "see" a change when the scale says there was none. BTW, you are doing great!!!

 

[UtahMama]

I'm posting from PA right now. No weigh-in to report. Lots of ups and downs n this trip, and we haven't even gotten to the amusement park yet. Please send pixie dust Tomorrow is our peeps meet day at Dorney, and thunderstorms are predicted
I've been eating terribly, partly out of the "it's vacation" mode, and partly out of disappointments, lack of sleep, and issues with DH. I have to remind myself that rare is the man who would even agree to a trip like this.
On the up side, I'm meeting DisUnc tomorrow. I can hardly wait!

Tell him HI for me!!!! He's my buddy!

I'm finally here. I've been having problems with my cable/internet all day. I am -3.6 this week.

WOW! -3.6 Rocks!!!!!
Sucky to have tech problems!
Can't wait to see your pics!

I would love to get to the gym in the wee hours of the morning, but I'm too stingey with my sleep. Minus 3 times last month (July) I went every single day! WOOO! Noticing BIG changes and I'm totally kicking myself for not listening to the fitness peeps sooner!!!!

You can do it Gayle!

 

[ArielSRL]

Luckily, I have a sore throat that makes eating painful. Hurray for illness!

This happened to me about a month ago and it got really bad for several days so all I could eat was popsicles and mashed potatoes. I lost 5 lbs in 4 days! I so wosh I could have kept that off, but as soon as it got well and I started eating again, it went right back up.

 

[mousehouselover]

I can see by the lack of activity that everyone is enjoying their weekend!! I love summertime!

I'm late posting my weight; -2 lbs! I was super good thrugh most of the week and ate well. I wasn't able to get to the gym much due to scheduling issues...... I vow to resolve that this week.

I went totally overboard today. DH made reservations for Fogo de Chao; a Brazillian grill......... OMGoodness; it it so good. (For those of you who haven't been to a churrascaria before, think O'Hana but with the atmosphere of Cali Grill.) I didn't eat all day anticipating our late afternoon dinner. The meats were amazing, and there are so many to chose from. I loved the bananas they served. We splurged on a dessert; the best creme brule I thnk I've ever had. We went to the art museum and walked for about 3 hours beforehand but I don't think I burned nearly as many calories as I consumed.

Has any one found any light hamburger or hotdog buns? I have looked a few times for things that aren't high in points but so far I haven't had much luck. I found Wonder light wheat bread and Thomas light multi grain muffins are comparable to the WW versions. And FYI: Walmart has a new line of foods out; Benefit that is high in fiber. The yogurts are in line with the WW brand and the fiber bars are very similar to the Fiber One version, just a lot lower priced! I know I'll need plenty of both this week after eating so much meat tonight.

I'm still feeling a bit full and bloated, I may hop on the TM here at home for a while to help ease the fullness.

 

[DisneyLaura]

On a different note... my travel docs came today... it's official I am going to Disney!!!

YEAH

Peeps! I need a few numbers.

Of those regulars who've "played" in this last month, I need the following:

Pixie Dust
Piper05
Dweatl
DisneyFreak
DisneyLaura (did I just miss yours?)
honeymo78

Now, it's an embarrassing fact that I am super scatter brained and (highly) likely to have skimmed over one (or more) of the above Peeps posts

If that is the case, sorry!

UM - I lost 1 lb this week. I'm sure I posted it but I wasn't online a lot this week, I might thought I did.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Hi Peeps! I've been MIA for just over a week now, I think. I've been BUSY working on pics from the wedding, and I'm not done yet. But I've made progress. The wedding went well. And I am working on the print order from the family portrait session from June that I did for my hair stylist. She also told me that she has a friend who may want to hire me once she sees the prints! I'm both nervous and excited about things taking off with the photography business, but mostly excited!

I'm not sure what to post for weigh in info. I'm thinking of just waiting 'til next week. I was up about 2 lbs on Friday (AF was in the house), and today I am only up .2 lb from last week, with AF gone. Plus, I don't remember the exact number from Friday. I guess put me down for up .2 lb. I'll go from there.

Hope everyone has had a great week and weekend!

i want to go there! of course i'd have to work out extra hard to make up for it. my cousin married a girl from brazil and when they came to georgia for my wedding all they could talk about was going to eat at the one in atlanta. so they went one night and came back and said it was the best food they'd ever had. i have one right down the road - i don't know why i haven't been!

Are you in Atlanta? Because we have a Fogo de Chao here in Atlanta. Just wondering.

I'm trying to think if I found any light hamburger or hot dog buns. I want to say yes, but maybe it was just wheat. I eat those Thomas light multi-grain english muffins all the time. I think it works out to be 1 point and they are cheaper than the WW ones. And they have tons of fiber.

I'm in Indianapolis, our FdC just opened in May. I used to live in SE Ga and Jacksonville, Fl. DH and I got married on St Simon's Island. We are so homesick....... The first chance we get to move back south; we're out of here!!

I went looking for cheaper and comparable foods for WW branded items to help out our budget. That's why I piced up the other brands. The WW bread here is $3.38 vs Wonder @ $2.78. The 4 pack of yogurt from WW is 2.18 but only 1.79 for the Walmart brand.

I got on tht TM last night and did a bit more than I originally intended. thought 15 mins or so at a really slow pace just to work the fullness out of my abdomen. Well, I can't stand to get going and do less than a mile or take more than 20 mins to get there. I was pumped after my little jaunt and did an abs set about 30 mins later.

I've got to get going, I want to hit the gym. DH is sore from walking on hardwood floors yesterday so I won't have my partner to work out with.

 

[honeymo78]

Sorry Peeps, I've been pretty busy the past few days. I'm a samer this week. I did a bit of emotional eating over the weekend - DH was in a car accident, he's fine and the car has some boo-boos. Luckily he was only going about 25mph and the lady who hit him was only going 10mph - she pulled out of a side street without looking both directions and t-boned him.

And DH may be getting some info on a new job prospect - supposed to be some openings for the fall at a local school district for computer/network people, and he's already worked with one of the people that assists in the hiring. It would finally get him out of retail, so if you've got some pixie dust to spare, he could use it. Plus the starting pay is more than he makes right now, and if he got all those technical certifications (which he would do as soon as possible), he'd make even more money.

My grocery store makes their brand light buns, not too bad either I might add.

Glad to hear DH wasn't hurt

very happy to hear that your hubby is ok! accidents are so scary!

Hi everyone! I am hoping to move a lot more this week..i want to see at least a lb loss in the worst way! Although AF just came by so who knows..but i will do my part with WATER WATER WATER, counting cals and moving

I am ridiculously tired today for some reason. MY rear and legs are also pretty sore from weeding and trimming our VERY OVERGROWN yard yesterday. Totally worth it though..it looks so much better already..but i still have more to do..it never ends!

 

[Tinker'n'Fun]

Thanks for all the great hello's. I couldn't bring myself to buy a scale so I went down to my Mom's and weighed myself on Friday, so I guess I will be weighing in on Friday's. I still haven't mastered the quick reply thing so consider this a blanket answer to everyone who replied... Oh by the way thanks for the bikini pic invite but the only bikini in this house belongs to DD15 who can actually pull it off fabulously! I will post a pic from the waterparks if I hit my goal by the end of September when we go to Disney. Hope everyone has a great week! Diane

 

[LMO429]

Hey Peeps!

I had a busy weekend and I need to catch up on the thread!

I have 8 workout weeks until the wedding day! today i did Turbo Jams Lower Body Jam (awesome 15 min lower body workout) and then i did Jillian Michael's 30 day shred level 3.

This morning I booked our hotel and park tickets for our trip to WDW in May 2009..will be at the beach club from may 14th - may 21st!! it's pretty sad that I am actually looking forward to my WDW vacation more than I am looking forward to my honeymoon!!!!

 

[monymony3471]

Hi all!

Noni: Our weekend was super busy. You are right. Summer is so wonderful.

I did pretty good over the weekend. It's hard when you don't plan everything 100%, but I made the best choices I could and I'm 200% back at it today.


I started a pre-tripie. Hope to see you over there. If you have the time. I understand.

Happy Skinny Monday!

Hey Peeps!


This morning I booked our hotel and park tickets for our trip to WDW in May 2009..will be at the beach club from may 14th - may 21st!! it's pretty sad that I am actually looking forward to my WDW vacation more than I am looking forward to my honeymoon!!!!

i am sure the only reason why you are not looking forward to the honeymoon is the flying...thats the only reason why i am not super excited about our west coast trip either!! once you are there..i am sure it will be great!
Although if i had a WDW trip in the works..i would be SUPER psyched as well!
