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

[dwheatl]

Hello! I just came across this thread and I think it's a great idea!

I have been on and off weight watchers since last Jan. I lost 20, but recently have gained 10 back!

So I thought I'd hop right back on and give this a try!

I'm not sure I'll have time to go back and read through the entire thread because my semester just started. I may be in the dark for awhile.

Welcome! I lost most of my weight with WW, but have gained quite a bit back since I quit going. Are you going to continue to go to WW? I'm just nosy. And your name is a funny coincidence. I was just looking at some pictures on photobucket posted by someone named Narwhal. Small world, huh?

I hope nobody cares if a teenager and lurker like myself pops in on here!
I've been reading on the WISH forums for awhile, but never posted.
Anyways my name is Kayla, I'm 15 (Sophomore in highschool) , and trying to lose about 10 more pounds before our disney trip next summer.
After watching the Olympics the marathon runners really inspired me. I'd love to do that.
I couldn't run the mile for gym without feeling like I was gonna be sick and I was one of the last done.
So I'm starting to run everyday. I do yoga, and have a Wii fit.
I decided to try and get healthier after gym last year when I lost 15 pounds from weightlifting, then lost another 6 during the summer. I dropped 4 pant sizes!
I gave up soda in June, and haven't had but a sip here and there when I didn't realize what I was drinking was soda!
I've changed my eating habits and now I eat much healthier foods and get much more exercise than I use to.
I had a thread on the teen board for all of us trying to get healthier. It was a success for awhile until it died away. I thought I could come over here for everyday support motivation.

Anyways, I'm not too keen on losing weight as I am on getting rid of the fat and gaining muscle.
I was a little hesitant about posting because it seems like I'm the only teenager around these parts, but I decided to go for it as all of you seem incredibly nice.

Welcome! Good for you for working on getting healthier. All ages are welcome; just please pardon those of us who either a)comment about our aging bodies, or b)complain about our husbands or kids. You are welcome to rant about your own life, if it helps.

Welcome to the thread! I've tried WW in the past and it does work I just have a hard time sticking with it and going to meetings. My kids are always on the go and it seems like we run everywhere during the school year!

Welcome!! Good for you! You are more than welcome here! I to gave up soda for a while! It is really hard I love soda! So now I only have one a day and that is with lunch and it is diet caffeine free. The most important thing is to continue to eat healthy! And it sounds like your on your way! Good luck!

Wendy - I didn't get chance to put a PEEPS sign out but.....the PEEPS got a shout out in the speeches! It was so funny! DH (Oh my, hes now DH! ) bought me the Stephanie Meyer books as a little surprise present and in his speech he said something along the lines of 'All I have heard is the peeps say these books are soooo great, the peeps cant stop reading these books, so ive bought them for Kelly so she finally stays quiet for two minutes!' He did also thank the peeps for me looking nice in my wedding dress

Congrats! What a beautiful bride! Thanks for giving us a shout out!


Have a great day everyone!

A thousand apologizes for being MIA the past week. I've been logging a ton of hours at work, including working yesterday (Labor Day). So I'm way late on this, but I gained 1.2 pounds last week to put me above the 150's at 161 even. So not only did I not reach my Labor Day goal of 155 (no real surprise there), but I didn't even make my original goal of being under 160. But I weighed myself this morning, and things are looking up (or down, depending on how you look at it).

Welcome to the new Peeps! You're going to love it here.

And an extra special congratulations to the new Mrs. DisneyGalUK!!! You were/are a beautiful bride!

Anyway, here's the results of our Labor Day challenge. Congrats to all that participated!

 

[missnarwhale]

Thanks for the welcome everybody! I'm really excited about this, I think the extra accountability is going to help me a lot! I'm glad I was able to keep the ten off too. I think I caught it just in time, or else I would be set the entire twenty back as well!

Welcome! I lost most of my weight with WW, but have gained quite a bit back since I quit going. Are you going to continue to go to WW? I'm just nosy. And your name is a funny coincidence. I was just looking at some pictures on photobucket posted by someone named Narwhal. Small world, huh?

I actually don't go to meetings. Between school, work, and other activities I have no time. I just have the material. My friend and I are doing it together, so we chat about it whenever we are together.

I play in a band and our name has the word narwhale in it. I'm also the only girl, so viola, that's how my name came to be. That is a funny coincidence though!


Also, I was wondering if there were going to be anymore challenges like the Labor Day Challenge?

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Ok, so I've finally got some pictures onto the computer!

What a beautiful bride! Love the pictures DisneyGalUK!

Confession time. Today was the day the gingerbread man came to our classroom, and then ran away, so we had to tour the school to find him. He was hiding in the library, and we took him back to the classroom to eat him. Unfortunately, because my class has shrunk, I had a lot left over. I ended up bingeing on the leftovers. It could be because AF showed up yesterday when she just left a week and a half ago. Crazy cycle.
Darn sugar and butter! Why must they taste so good together? I told DH it's a sure sign of God's presence. Here's why. If everything was just natural selection, our taste buds would have developed so that only things that were good for us would taste good. Right?

 

[monymony3471]

I knew there'd be picrtures to look at.

Congratulations Kelly!

I'm still trying. (struggling)

Got my groove back from being on VACAY.

I'm hoping now that schools back for the kids and me, I'll be a better peep cause I'll be too busy to mindlessly eat.

Have a great day Peeps!

aboard I'm on WW's as well. I go to meetings because don't laugh I don't own a scale. The ladies are great friends now too.

As everyone has already said age doesn't matter here, we're all ages. Nice to meet you. See below on the details of our thread when we do our weigh ins.

I've read Twilight, they are pretty good books!

OMG we love this series. Have you read all of them? I'm on the last one (almost done). Utahmama hooked us all.

hey, peeps! i've been TOTALLY MIA the past couple of weeks. just been swamped with work, family, getting ready for disney, etc. the good news is i haven't gained. the bad news is i don't really think i lost either!

Dawn sorry I missed you yesterday but I was a working girl. I started my old job again and I had to go for new employee orientation ALL DAY but hey I got paid. I told my boys that mommy's going back to work so we have spending money for Disney when we go and it was so cute that when I came
home my DS7 asked if how much money I had for the day. Stay safe.

Just a quick driveby to say hi... posting from BWV! We are here at WDW through Sunday. Here is to hoping that Hanna doesn't come through here after all!

Kat nice to see, I knew you were missing but forgot you when you were going to WDW. Stay safe as well. Hope you and Dawn get to meet.

Also, I was wondering if there were going to be anymore challenges like the Labor Day Challenge?

We have mini challenges all year round. I'm not sure when the next one is but Aaron posts a handy dandy chart for us every week. Also every Friday is weigh in day. Post your loss/gain/stay the same like this -4 because UtahMama aka Wendy has a handy dandy spreadsheet.

I told DH it's a sure sign of God's presence. Here's why. If everything was just natural selection, our taste buds would have developed so that only things that were good for us would taste good. Right?

That AF does it all the time for me And I 100% agree with your statement above.

 

[DisneyObsession]

WELCOME to all the "new" Peeps! I know I'm a little behind...sorry.

Funny how that 1.5 I lost Fri found it's way back by yesterday! Went to my DSis in Albany and ate more than I should have. She is the best cook!!! (and baker)

OK...so how is Halloween for the next challenge??? That's 9 weeks away. I'm in for that! I'll go for another 10lbs. Anybody else???

Haven't read the Twiligyt series yet...I really need to go to the library.

 

[UtahMama]

Ok, I'm eating the CRAPIEST (but most deelish) cheapo Banquet frozen Salisbury Steak lunch. It has Barbie-sized portions of corn (2T. maybe?) and some "potatoes". HEAVEN!

and only 300 calories plus the diet "S'not" I sprayed onto my un-pototoes.

Well worth the 300 calories I plan on working off later

Y'all like Weezer? This video features many You Tube cult classics such as: The Evolution of Dance,
Miss S. Carolina, Chocolate Rain (OY!!!), Mentos and Coke, Numa Numa, Star Wars Kid, etc.

My DS19 is totally amazed I loooove Weezer and stupid things such as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muP9eH2p2PI

At the end, all the snippets are combined together...Freakin' Awesome!

Ooooh, I'd be up for a Halloween challenge. That might give me the motivation I need to stay away from all the candy!!!

So IF we do a Halloween challenge, I'll join and ask to be put down for 15 lbs again.
I was close last time. Maybe this time I'll make it!

You are so funny with the Banquet meal.

I love that video!!! So funny! I didn't even get them all, there were so many! But very cool the way they all came together like that.

I'm in! I have to lose 10lbs by October 18th at 9 pm!

Thanks! I don't think I'll lose anything this week though! Hopefully next Friday I will be able to report good news.

I've never been to that area, but in the last few years I have been able to get to the east side of the state a lot more than I normally do.

I love Weezer! The Blue Album is my favorite, but I do really like their newest album. I had a chance to see them when they came to my area with the Foo Fighters, but I went to see Margaret Atwood speak instead.

I'm up for that! Need all the help I can get at the minute. I have absolutely no willpower this week and - even more unlike me - no urge to exercise. I am blobbing up nicely!

I would like to lose 6lb by Halloween (depending on how much I go up this week!!!!).

On the plus side my turbo jam dvd's have arrived so am going to make the effort to try them tomorrow.

 

[harleyquinn]

Wendy--I'm big into Weezer right now. I got the Red album and three songs from it are on Rock Band and I can't get enough. You should check it out if you haven't already!!

I think a Halloween challenge sounds great! I'm in for 10 pounds too!

I've read the Twilight series--As a children's Librarian I kinda have to. I'm a HUGE vampire fic fan and I gotta say there is WAAAAY better stuff out there, so I'm really biased. I absolutely hated the 3rd book which is pretty much exactly the same as the 2nd book. You could literally skip it and not miss much of anything that isn't explained in the 4th and covered in the 2nd. But I'm in the minority. I did enjoy the last one, but I wanted more of a climatic battle thing or something. I'm really glad she sped the plot along.

Anyway, welcome to all the newer newbies! i'm not the newest anymore! lol

Mine should come today or tomorrow--We should be TJ newbie buddies!!

Just noticed you are in Grand Rapids. I grew up near Los Angeles, CA. but almost all my family is in MI.
We moved out to Traverse City, MI from 2004-2007 before moving here to Vegas.

I miss it! Well, I miss the Summer and Fall. Not so much the winter.
