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

[abish19]

Monica - SO GLAD to hear everything's okay with Tim! Best wishes to your family...

Peeps, I think I've let you down. I just haven't posted in eons, and although I haven't lost much weight, I've been maintaining the weight numbers and I've been very diligent about exercise. I think it's changing my shape...

But I recommit! I need your help or I'll never be able to do this. It's not just for the WDW trip 128 days from now - it's so that I never have to be like my uncle who passed away from a diabetes-related heart attack at 57, or another uncle who is morbidly obese and had to have both (completely destroyed) knees replaced. It's so that my cholesterol numbers can stay healthy and get even better. It's so that I can buy clothes without crying and bend over without feeling "squished" by my oversized tummy.

I'll try to catch up on the thread but until then - Thanks! I'm weighing in tomorrow!

 

[LMO429]

Today I weighed in at 128 ...I can't remember what I weighed last week I usually fluctuate between 127 to 129, so this week I am at 128.

I have my final dress fitting at Kleinfelds today! I can't believe the wedding is NEXT SATURDAY! i was a big dummy yesterday and looked at the 10 day forecast and it said RAIN, WINDY and kinda of cold for the wedding day so basically i walked around with an ulcer all day because if it rains it ruins many things I am suppose to take pictures and have the ceremony OUTSIDE, need pixie dust for some good weather!

I have so many thank yous to say, I'm just gonna address everyone here.

Maybe now I can focus on me and get back to being healthier.

Thanks to you all!

I'm a SAMER today. I think that will change by next week.

Hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

I am just full of joy and emotion.

Yeah one more day. Have fun Gayle. Enjoy your trip with your hubby and congrats on the 25 years.

Lynda you have fun as well.

I'm +3.6 lb. I haven't been to WW in two weeks so I was surprised that it was just that to be honest. I haven't been a good peep lately. Bills are piling up and I eat when I'm nervous about money and yesterday we were actually doing good with the finances and I had my furnice cleaned for the year and it was supposed to cost $175 and I wrote my check out for $520 . Some parts had to be replaced and then the labor That's ok though DH is paying me early this week so we'll be fine. On the happy note I got my first paycheck on Wednesday. Mind you it wasn't much because I'm only working one night a week but it was nice to contribute to the family finances. Ok I gotta run and bring DS7 book to school, he forgot his library book and he goes today. Have a peep day everyone.

[dwheatl]

Fly-by. Down 3.2. It had to happen sometime. I've been hovering for ages. I wrote down EVERYTHING this week, and it really helped. Have a great weekend all. We're off to prep some soon-to-be brides and grooms. No time to look for the smilies. I'm off to work.

 

[MA pigletfan]

HELLO ALL...

first..have a great trip Gayle!!
Lauren..oNE WEEK!!! HOLY MOLY here's to good weather...

Ok..so i have not been weighing in..and i still did not today. i think i am truly afraid of the scale...HOWEVER Greg has decided that he needs to start eating better/working out so starting Monday our house is getting a food makeover and we are both getting serious about things. I am very happy to have a partner now in the eating healthy boat..other than the fine peeps on this board of course!!! ..i am fine with getting to the gym, but its the eating that is hard for me. So i think if i am thinking of BOTH of us then i will def. be more accountable.
I dont think i will weigh in until after Disneyland to get a base line ( TOM is coming and we will be in Maine next weekend for a wedding)..but after that I will do my peeply duty as per ordered!!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend..tonight i am planning on "testing" out the valium my doctor prescribed for me for the flight in 2 weeks..i hope it knocks me right out..should be funny for greg to see!

 

[UtahMama]

UP ONE! +1

SonofaGUN!

DANG DANG DANG!

Yesterday it was "down", overnight, magically, UP.

I vote we move weigh day to Thursdays!

Makes me want to try a LOT harder!

Tim's biopsy came back benign tumor

That is awesome news! I'm so happy for all of you!

I think my body was paying attention to all of that "slow and steady" talk this week, because I lost 1 pound this week. That really just makes up for the .6 that I gained last week, but I'm still at my lowest adult weight of 157.4. I won't bore everyone this week by going over all of the other totals, but I will say that reaching my Halloween goal is going to be a real stretch. I'm 7.4 away from it, and I'm 12.4 away from ultimate goal of 145. The only saving grace is that we're strongly considering skipping offering Trick or Treat at our house this year. That'll save a few calories with the candy that I normally end up sneaking from the bowl. But the main reason is because our house is at the end of a cul-de-sac facing west, so for the first hour or two the late afternoon sun is shining right at our house, effectively making our house lights impossible to see. Last year we had about a dozen kids total stop at our house after watching 4-dozen walk past. Plus, we're trying to save for a possible Disney trip next year, and every little bit helps.

All right, I'm done rambling for the day. Good luck all with the weigh-ins!

 

[HockeyKat]

I am -6 (since last Tuesday). But still up about 12 from my lowest '08 weight. Meh.

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

Hi all

I'm a samer! Best I could hope for as we had two meals out!

Its the first hot day we have had in the UK since about May (sadly I'm not joking!!! ) so we are now doing ourselves a Bar-B-Q . BUT I am busy skinning the meat of all its skin and serving it up with a massive salad so hopefully won't do any damage!! I am in the zone and really feel like being saintly, but I can't ignore the sun!!!!!!

 

[mommaU4]

I am up this week. Last week I was 223.8 and now I am 224 so a gain of +0.2 lbs..

I guess it's not too surprising since last week I was down 4 lbs which is a lot for me in one week. Oh well. Next week will be better.

I'm so worried about October though!!! We have a week long Disneyland trip and I refuse to diet while at Disney, so you know what that means.

Then my birthday in the 24th, and to my kids it's not a birthday without cake. Maybe I can get them a mini cake from the bakery so it's barely enough for a small piece each. No leftovers!

After that is Halloween. I'm not as worried about that because I'm planning to buy candy that I hate. Anything that's sour, or Skittles, Starburst, Jolly Ranchers, lollipops, Whoppers, Pay Day, Tootsie Rolls, plain M&M's, etc. all those I can totally resist with no problem. They could stay in my house for months and I'd never touch them.

Now if I bought Snickers or Reeses.......oh boy, I'd be in big trouble!!

So i thought i was having my last fitting at kleinfelds today, even though i still weigh the same I lost some serious inches on my hips and waist and they had to take the dress in even more it does go to show you to use your scale but use your measuring tape as well its a better indication of your progress

i am going to a bar called merc bar in soho tonight i need a DRINK! i am stressed about the weather i hear a tropical storm is forming down in the atlantic could spell trouble for me next week i like have control of everything and the fact i have no control over the weather is stressing me out and leaving my stomach in a knot..my father is paying for the reception and all i can think about he how he has worked so hard his whole life and is giving my fiance and i this spectacular wedding and for it to rain after all the $$$ and plannning its just truly heartbreaking

 

[UtahMama]

Gah! SOOO busy readying for our Yard Sale tomorrow!

I STILL havent' recorded your weights! So go ahead if you havent!

Real quick though...

I NEED to set some DO-ABLE mini-goals to get me to the Halloween Goal that Aarons' doing!!!!

1. MORE cardio... and NO less than 90 minutes actively working out for 6 days!!!! (I do 5-6 days and only 3 x cardio currently)
2. Only 2 servings of healthy carbs. And NO white carbs (which is what I mostly do now)
3. WATER till I slosh! (meaning Green tea and Crystal Lite, too)

Good call on the measuring of inches..ii will def. be doing that when i get back to monitoring progress...once i start to make some!

is your reception outside? i don't remember...if its not than please for your own sake try not to sweat it!! it will be a beautiful day regardless...i am sure your guests will be thrilled to be somewhere having a wonderful time in a great venue regardless of the weather. A few of my friends had rainy wedding days, and honestly, they were still WONDERFUL. ( BUT i will also pray for no miserable weather for you anyway
