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

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Hello everyone! I was wondering if I could please join in this weight loss group? I really need to lose the weight and I need support.

thanks!

Hi everyone!

I was hoping I could join up with you. I thought now might be a good time since your Labor day challenge is almost over.

So here's a little about me:
I've been struggling with my weight every since I graduated from HS. It makes me so sad to realize how skinny and healthy I was back then. Anyway, 10 years and a lot of pounds later here I am. Dh and I are TTC and I would really like to lose at least 10 pounds before I manage to get pregnant. If by some miracle it happens right away, I would still like to stick around with you all--not to lose anything of course, but for support to have a heathier pregnancy.

So I'm the leader of the DIS Sparkpeople team. I am ashamed to say I don't post very often on there, but I really love the website. So I plan on using it for my calories and all. And as far as exercise I'm considering joining a gym, but that scares me. I just bought Turbo Jam and I do have a few other work out DVDs that I really like.

So that's where I'm at. I'm looking forward to hanging out with all of you!

(BTW the biggest reason I'm motivated again is that we just got back from WDW and I was really embarrassed by a few of my photopass pictures. But the trip was awesome!)

Sneaking back in .......

I've got lots of news.

DD went for her ultrasound today and she is having a girl. Suprisingly her boyfriend did show up for the appointment. Dont remember if I told you all but he stood us up for her birthday dinner. We waited for an hour and a half with no boyfriend and no phone call.

DS - driving me NUTS!!!

And I have a NEW JOB!!!

Well, same job.... different hours. I currently work 11 pm to 7 am for 8 days in a row and get 6 days off. My new work schedule will be 7pm to 7am on Sat and Sun only with 1 extra 8 hour day during the week. So I am giving up every weekend but the trade off is a BIG pay increase and I get to live semi normal during the week. I am allowed 4 weekend shifts off per year and can take time off during the week without that counting against my weekend time off allowance. I retain my full time status and my full time benefits. Another plus, I do better with my appetite control when I am off and maybe I will feel like exercising. My main reason for considering this new position is for my daughter. So that I can help her with the baby and she can finish school and keeping my fingers crossed that she will start college in the fall. Then the more I thought about it, I found some positives for me as well.
Last bit of good news..... Disney trip for October is still on.... Disney is my mental health "therapy"
Just wanted to share.

Hang in there, hon. We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts.

Welcome. Love your name/avatar. DS is a huge Batman fan, and we all get pulled into that.
I am sure that I am not the only one on this thread who can vouch for the weight loss/fertility connection. Is it because we become so irresistible?

LMO, you look great (and very happy). Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

Welcome to the Peep thread!! You will love it here! I use Sparkpeople to! I don't post there either. But I love the site! I didn't want to join a gym either so I joined Ladies Workout Express it's like Curves and it's only for women which I like. The circut only takes 30mins. Which I like because I have one teen and one tween and we are constantly on the go! So it is something that I can work into my day. I like to walk to so on days I don't go and work out I will take an hour long walk. The main thing is to just get up and get moving!

We are all here for you and don't feel bad about yourself we are all in the same boat! Everyone here is so helpful and just genuinly fun! So good luck and keep posting!

Good Morning Peeps,

Well I am a Samer this week. And I ain't complaining! Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! Anyone doing anything fun? I'm not going anywhere! We have the Harley 105th Anniversary going on in town this weekend! So I am just staying home. There are motorcycles everywhere! I was going to go to the musuem today with the kids but I think downtown may be a little crowded!

Have a great day everyone!

 

[LMO429]

Just wanted to share.

A girl..huh?!? That is exciting!!! My only piece of advice is don't take all the resposibility for caring for the baby...you helping too much allows her to still be the "teenager" and not be as resposible for her baby. It's hard as "Grandma", but she has to realize she has given up some things by having this baby. JMHO Believe me, I know how hard that is after doing it with my own DD, but sometimes we have to instill some "tough love" on our kids.

 

[DisneyObsession]

On to my WI....DOWN 1.5!! I think I still have 2lbs to go to my goal by Mon, but at least I am closer than I have ever been in any of the other challenges!!! What's next...Halloween????

I did weight watchers about 6 years ago and lost 35 pounds. I've gained most of it back now. :-(

I love it when people actually know who Harley is! People usually think I'm into romances. lol

Thank You! The gym I am considering has a private women only section as well as women only classes. I just have a hard time committing to the cost. I'm going to try Turbo Jam at home and see what happens.

OK, I have just bought 5 Turbo Jam DVD's!! Thanks for the inspiration! I already have a few workout DVD's I do at home, but always great to get new recommendations! Hopefully the will arrive in double quick time!!! Needing the help this week!

Did you see my other thread? I think we need to get a TJ group going!

Thank you all so much for all the welcomes!!

I weighed in this morning and I am DOWN 1 pound from what I weighed last week. So I'm all set!

 

[harleyquinn]

I have a question.

What do you all eat for breakfast? I usually eat cereal before work, but lately I've been starving by the time lunch rolls around. I think I need a heartier cereal.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Hey! Check this out! I got DIS back at work! I don't know if it will last or not. I have no idea why it is happening to be honest, but I can post my weigh in info in a timely manner for a change!

Down 1.6 lbs this week! Not remotely close to reaching the lofty 15-lb goal I set for myself, but it does bring me to 196.8, which is the lowest number I've seen on the scale since I don't know when...LONG before I started the Peep thread over a year and a half ago. I am getting into the numbers I haven't seen since my first year of marriage, 6 years ago. That's exciting because my goal is to be roughly the same size I was when I got engaged, maybe slightly smaller, and I must be about 30 lbs from that. That's still a decent amount of weight to lose, but since I've already lost 53.2 lbs total, it seems like the home stretch.

I hope everyone has a great weigh in day!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

I have a question.

What do you all eat for breakfast? I usually eat cereal before work, but lately I've been starving by the time lunch rolls around. I think I need a heartier cereal.

I have either two weetabix or a bowlful of Special K, with half a grapefruit. Then I have some more fruit mid-morning - I could never get all the way to lunch without a little fruit pick-me-up!!!!

Its meant to be better for your metabolism to eat little and often, so sometimes I eat the grapefruit at home then save my cereal and eat it when I get to my desk at work (straight away as I am ravenous by then!!). Keeps me going just that little bit longer before getting to my fruit!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Oh dear . . . PLUS 2lb!!!!! But I had such a nice few days away that I don't mind that much . . . I SHALL mind if they haven't gone by next week though!

PROTEIN

Protein will keep you fuller much longer.

eggs or egg substitute made into an omelette, with cheese and ham. Today I had an omelette with cheese, avocado and salsa. That will tide me over until lunch.

I also like the thick cut oatmeal (health food store) with added ground flax seed (can't taste), or yogurt.

Still, the eggs keep me fuller and more satisfied than, say, raisin bread or Pop Tarts.
