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

[punkin413]

hey, peeps! well, i'm back from disney world! we had a great trip. it only rained one day. i did gain 1 pound while there, which honestly kind of surprises me because i was sweating buckets the entire time! it was soooooooo humid! but i guess when you eat at boma and chefs de france and then top that off with figaro fries you pay the price!

so i want to catch up but you know how you get home from disney and the real world just bombards you with all that bothersome real world stuff??? yeah.....that's me right now. i'm soooooo swamped with just everything.

i know LMO's wedding is coming up.....hope everything's going well with that! hope all the rest of you guys are doing well and drinking your water, eating your fiber, exercising and just peeping on!!!!

i did have a peep meet with hockeykat on our first night there. she's sooooo sweet and her hubby's a hoot! we met at the adventurer's club and they eventually had to kick us out at 1:00 a.m.!!! but we had a great time. erica (my friend that went with me) and i drove kat and her DH back to the boardwalk instead of making them take a dreaded disney bus and i made her hubby take this picture as we were dropping them off. i'm so glad i got to meet her!!!

Yay on the great trip. I was thinking of you & hoping that the rain would stay away.

Can anyone see the challenge update? It is just coming up as a red X on my computer, but I didn't know if it was just me...

I can too

A peep meet

 

[DisneyObsession]

Good Morning Peeps!

Yes Aaron....I can see the stats for the challenge.....all 13lbs I now need to lose!!!! But, I can do it!!! (Even with going to Disney for 10 days!!!)

Dawn...Glad you had a great trip! Wish I knew of a Peep that would be there when I go in a little over a week.....no Peep meet for me!

LMO429...Wedding stress made me eat too....Just relax...everything will be fine. Remember, there will be "something" that will be forgotten, or go wrong that day, but in the grand scheme of things, it's nothing! (We forgot rides for the wedding party......oops! )

I am meeting a friend today at IHOP and am planning the pancakes in....they have the BEST pancakes! I am also baking choco chip cookies for a marching band competition on Sat for the baked goods table. At some point I'd like to exercise before leaving for work at 12:30....hmmmm...not sure how to do this....

 

[UtahMama]

As I am typing this I am literally stuffing cookies in my face!!!!!
BINGE CITY TONIGHT PEEPS!!!! I thought wedding stress was suppose to make you NOT eat apparently its having the reverse affect on me!!!
anyway its happening Im dealing with it and tomorrows another day right!?!?!

THIS I understand...but I had to be Scarlet'O Hara'd into MY wedding gown so BE CAREFUL. I managed to gain like 8 pounds in 2 weeks back before my wedding.

Welcome Home! Are you back to reality yet? This is always so hard for me to come back to real life.
Cute picture of you and Kat!!!!! Glad you had a fun time!!!!

Mmmmm, pancakes! And cookies
I'm craving carbs SO bad! I'm planning on the Thin Delight garlic and chicken pizza from Papa Murphy's Take & Bake for dinner. Hopefully I wont go hog wild with it.

 

[LMO429]

UTAHMAMA!!! I don't know what happened to me last night i think it was a combination of stress and pms! I just wanted to eat the house down and i did...anyway this morning i worked out for over an hour and have been drinking alot of water to make up for it

its weird it seems when i put alot of pressure and try to be extra strict with diet and exercise it always sabotages me...i guess because its unrealistic to be healthy 100% of the time!

 

[missnarwhale]

Even with my horrible eating last weekend, I've still managed to keep those 5 pounds off! I'm pretty pumped because I was sure that I would put a few of them back on...

On Monday I bought a dress that doesn't fit me! It's too tight and doesn't zip all the way. I know that one is not supposed to do this, but it was so pretty and I really want to wear it in the end of October. So! I am really working hard (read: drinking lots of coffee) to lose enough to wear it! I hung it on the wall to remind me to keep to my diet!

Anyway! I hope that everyone is doing well! I love all this talk of dogs and weddings! I am getting a kitten in a few weeks (he's not "old enough" to come home either), so it's nice to hear about other's pets and prospective pets.

Has anyone else been having chilly weather? It's been getting cold here at night. It appears that Fall is just around the corner!

 

[DisneyObsession]

Fall has definitely hit here in Buffalo! It was 47 degrees this morning when I woke up. I am looking forward to the "hot" weather in Florida. (Remind me I said that when I am dying of heat!)

I KNOW! I totally know how you are feeling. Nothing says failure to me than having some huge pressure looming!

OK, you can un-do the "damage", NO PROBLEM!
Sounds like you are totally on the right track.

Just imagining MY busting gown seems and the fact I couldn't breathe from my pretty white lacey tourniquet makes me wanna "get on you" like stink on rice. Or white on poop. (just kidding!!!)

Good for you!!!!
It's warmish here but I can tell there's the beginning of crisp cool Autumn just around the corner. I LOVE Autumn for so many reasons, cozy soups and flannel PJ's are just the beginning!


Congrats on your new up-coming kitty!


OT:
Anyone living "back East" needs to pretty please take and post pictures of the leaves when they start changing!

IN Topic:
Good luck Peeps for tomorrow's weigh in!!!!!
We really need to kick it up a notch with the holidays coming fast upon us. My biggest weakness!!!!

 

[UtahMama]

P.S.

I am wanting to lose 1.2 pounds by tomorrow ( )to make it to the next tier on the scale! I may have already "done-did" it based on 4 days worth of (TMI sorry!!) and tons of green tea drunk today.

I ate a yogurt (blueberry Yoplait) and a string cheese for breakfast, a nectarine for snack #1, and 3/4 of a nasty-yucky South Beach pizza (the crust tastes like some kind of wood pulp), mini carrots with hummus dip for snack #2, and a cinnamon bear (one), and 1 C. pumpkin/sausage soup (I LOVE that stuff!).

Tonight's dinner will be take n bake pizza. ONE slice plus a green salad with spray-on diet dressing (when I really want bleu cheese but I'll take one for the team since tomorrow is weigh day!).

for "dessert", I will go to the gym and make that recumbent bike beg for mercy!



Does anyone know where, besides GAP, one would find curvy jeans for pear shaped gals such as myself? I have to have the waistband smaller and the "seat" curvy (curvy is my NICE word for disproportionately large)....in size 14!!!??? My 16's are getting way too big!

I keep saying my saddlebags have GOT to relent to their daily torture at some point! Seriously! The areas surrounding each outer thigh are firming up nicely..toning like crazy, but yet the outer thighs hang on like a bad house guest. Doesn't "saddle bags" sounds horrible, like a funky disease!

Well, I'm not sure you'd still fit in their sizes, or if you'd like their styles, but you might try Lane Bryant. I think they go down to a 14 so it might work.

I am pear shaped too. Always have been, even in my "skinny days". They have Right Fit jeans that I love because they make a pair that has a smaller waist specifically for that body shape.

In the past when I'd buy jeans big enough to fit over my hips and booty, they'd be gapping and swimming in the waist. These don't do that. It's great. Anyway, just thought you might try there. But even at a 14 it might be too big for you. You'd have to try them on. They also come in tall and petite sizes which is nice.

 

[mommaU4]

Hey all. Real quick one this morning to post the Halloween update...

Thanks for the update!

As I am typing this I am literally stuffing cookies in my face!!!!!


BINGE CITY TONIGHT PEEPS!!!! I thought wedding stress was suppose to make you NOT eat apparently its having the reverse affect on me!!!

anyway its happening Im dealing with it and tomorrows another day right!?!?!

I gained before my wedding too. I never did understand how some people would say they couldn't eat because they were too stressed out. I was eating BECAUSE I was stressed out.
But yes, tomorrow is another day!! Don't let it get you down.

so i want to catch up but you know how you get home from disney and the real world just bombards you with all that bothersome real world stuff??? yeah.....that's me right now. i'm soooooo swamped with just everything.

Ugh, I hate that 'back from vacation chaos'. Glad to hear the trip went well though.

I am meeting a friend today at IHOP and am planning the pancakes in....they have the BEST pancakes!

I LOVE IHOP pancakes!! Mmmmm. Have you tried the Harvest Grain Nut ones? My DH gets those, but I'm an old fashioned buttermilk kind of gal. Their Country Omelet is good too. It has hashbrowns in it. Mmmmmmmm. Oh.....shoot. I'd better stop typing now. LOL

THIS I understand...but I had to be Scarlet'O Hara'd into MY wedding gown so BE CAREFUL. I managed to gain like 8 pounds in 2 weeks back before my wedding.

Me too!! The back of my dress almost wouldn't button the night before the wedding. It barely did, and I was given strict instructions not to eat anything and no deep breaths.

We had a ton of fun!! I never would have been able to get Mr Kat to go to the Adventurer's Club w/out Dawn and Erica, so that was a special bonus. Dawn is just as bubbly and nice in person as she comes across online.

So, I am back from WDW, and back on the wagon. I started my new job on Monday and so far, I LOVE it. I am so glad that I decided to make a move. It is also 10 min from home, so I am sure not missing that 30 min commute!

I gained a ton of weight in my backslide off the wagon and then the WDW trip, so hopefully I can get rid of some of it quickly.

Coming from another bootylicious hippy chick, I recommend

"Perfectly Slimming Boot Cut 512™ Jeans
Style #15512
$46.00
Buy 2 or more pairs of this jean and receive each pair for $39.50. - More Details
Our classic jean owes its slimming shape to a fit that's designed to flatter and fabric woven for superior stretch. Cut straight through the top, with a higher waist and boot-cut that lengthens the leg.
Here's the link to the Levi's website http://us.levi.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2983648&cp=3146849.3146892.3146894
but I got mine at Macy's on sale for $28.00. They look like Levi's but they have something like Lycra in them, so they really pull everything together. They are my favorite jeans.

Welcome back, and welcome back on the wagon. Congrats on the new job.

Double post, but I wanted to add this anyway.

Good luck with weigh-in to everyone. I had a sneak peak, and it looked good. However, I'm worried about 2 things.
1)Back to school night was tonight, so I got home and had dinner at 8 o'clock.
2) AF will not leave! She came for a week, then left for a week and a half, and now she's been here for 11 days. I've been having mood swings that wreak havoc with food and exercise. I hate middle age.

I am looking for new jeans too! I will have to check out our local Macy's! Thanks!! I used to love Old Navy Jeans but they must have done something with the cut because they just don't fit right.

I knew I was doing something wrong!!



Well I am DOWN this week finally!!!! -1.2 Thank the dear lord! I was getting worried! How everyone has good results this week!!!

Hey Peeps!!!

I'm a SAMER this week! and I am happy that I am considering my binge episode one night this week

I will be in montauk this weekend for my girlfriend's bachelorette party! should be fun!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

This wasn't completely unexpected, but after my unusually large loss of 3.2 last week (which was actually my 3rd largest loss since I started on this thread), I gained 0.6 pounds this week. Again, not really surprising considering I wasn't 100% committed to my diet last weekend, and I didn't get as much exercise in this week as I would have liked. But I'm sure I can do better next week; and the fact that I can gain a little and still be in the 150's makes me feel pretty good, considering where I was three years ago.

Anyway, this gain puts me at 158.4; 8.4 pounds from my Halloween goal of 150, and 13.4 pounds from my final goal weight of 145.

Hope to see some better numbers from y'all than what I put up this week!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Fly by, im on my way to see my gorgeous niece!
Im -1.5lbs this week - water and exercise do work!
