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

[LMO429]

WOW everyone is putting up great numbers this week!!!!


OT: Have any peeps ever cruise on a Disney Cruise Line before. We are going on a 4 nt cruise in May. We are using a car service to get us to and from the port. At the departure of the cruise what time should I schedule the car service to pick us up. We have the second seating? I want to get the time as accuarte as possible because there is a $45 dollar an hour wait fee if I get the time wrong ...TIA.....any other tips about a disney cruise?

Just have a minute to pop on and post a 5.6 lb loss for the week!! It's a combination of keeping track of what I'm eating and all the walking I've been doing.

Lauren~ I thought you could use ME for transportation to and from the port. I know everyone has different preferences, this just seemed to be the easiest and most cost effective.

Dawn~ Welcome back!! I'll have to get over to your TR to see what you were up to. I'm so sorry we weren't able to get together even though we were both at MVMCP.

I have to go to work in less than 5 mins so I've got to go!

Hey, all! Sounds like everyone had a great week! Okay, Wendy, I told you after the holidays I would get the scale and get started and I did, last Friday was my baseline, this week I am down -2.6 pounds. I have not added much by way of exercise yet, I am starting small, with making sure I drink all my water plus some and then I have been bringing fruit to work for snacks so I can resist the candy bowls all over my floor, and eating a Healthy Choice steamer for lunch, then eating a regular supper but cutting the portion size a bit. Seems to be working a little anyway!

 

[Pakey]

I'm -2. I thought that was great until I came on here and saw what everyone else is posting. You guys are awesome and I'm so proud of everyone. I'm very happy with my loss, at my age I have to work twice as hard as you young people.

Lauren, I leave on my Disney cruise in 2 weeks. I'll tell you all about it when I get back. In the meantime, the Disney cruise forum is loaded with information. If you ask your questions over there, the 5768768594 experts on these boards will answer your questions. And the Disney transfers are $70 per person so not cost effective at all; I should know, I'm paying for 11 people to ride that bus

I am telling you all, a lil female surgery is the way to go. This week I'm down a big 22. Yes, that's right. Won't go into details, but that's what happens when you're carrying around something you shouldn't be.

Part of it is that I also don't have an appetite since the surgery. When that returns, I expect the poundage to rise somewhat.

WOW! But I don't think I want to have to have surgery to lose it, nor do I have any desire to do the other weight loss that works big for me (pregnancy and childbirth)...

I hope you feel better soon Kathi!

Mine arrived today, I can't wait to try it out!! I only got the email yesterday saying it had been dispatched!! VERY fast international delivery!!!!!

Well done all you losers! I will weigh Sunday and post it next Friday, then I will be back on the right day with you all!! I have stuck to food and exercise saintdom all week though so fingers crossed . . .!!

 

[Pooh's-Honey-Pot]

YEA!!!! I have HEAT!!!!


Now what to have for dinner????
I'm feeling fish tonight. I've been doing Talipia lately. I just cook it in a skillet with olive oil and use Chef Paul's seafood seasoning the redfish one. Kinda spicy. We have the fish and steamed broccoli.

My cornbread recipie isnt that fancy....

Corn meal
Self rising flour
milk
egg

cooked in a cast iron skillet. If you want a sweet cornbread you can add sugar. My mother in law adds mayonaise.

I had a girlfriend who made mexican cornbread and it was a meal in itself. You do the above cornbread mix then add cooked ground beef, whole kernel corn, japaleno peppers and bake.

Oh this sounds a bit simpler for a beginner . . . what are the quantities, how long do you cook for, and at what temperature?!! Thanks!!

 

[DisCanCan]

Sorry it has been a long time since I posted on here. Life seemed to have gotten in the way & I thought that the new year would be a great time to get back on track & start a fresh. I have a question does anyone else feel intimated about starting & going to a new gym?? And if so any pointers on how to get over it. Thanks for all the help

I'm feeling pretty well, all things considered. Yesterday I even made DH take me to Wegman's just so I could get out of the house.

Pregnancy and childbirth were always big weight loss options for me too...but even before the surgery, my body didn't do that kind of stuff any more.

Glad to hear you are feeling well enough to be out and about! That's great!


Yeah, mine would at this point be an act of God, since I have those titanium clips in place.

If you could let me know that would be great! The car service was not bad 200 dollars round trip. but its only me and my husband...11 WOW!

The non-diet version (from my mama)

2 cups cornmeal
1 cup self rising flour
2 whole egg
1/2 to 1 cup buttermilk

preheat oven to 450 degrees. heat large cast iron skillet in oven with 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. mix all ingredients above by hand (batter should be thick but pour easily off the spoon) add mixture to heated pan. cook for 15 to 20 minutes. top should be golden brown and when you insert toothpick in the middle it comes out clean.


NOW for a SWEET cornbread and the one that looks yellow like they have at Hoop De Doo or whispering canyon

Use YELLOW corn meal and add 1 - 2 tablespoons of sugar.


To lighten up:

you could use egg substitutes instead of whole eggs and low fat buttermilk instead of whole buttermilk.




MOM also found a recipe in a book Live Dont Die by Vickie Parks


Comforting Cornbread

1 cup self rising cornmeal
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup egg substitute

preheat oven to 400. mix ingredients. put in preheated iron skillet or small square baking pan. coat pan with non stick cooking spray. bake for 30 min.


I havent tried the Comforting Cornbread...... but MAMA's is GOOD!!!




Bad news peeps.... I'm up 1

Ha, silly girl, you pushed the 2 twice on accident.... JK, What a GREAT day for you! Really! I'm honestly happy and relieved you are recovering nicely. And you realize, you are the thread's biggest loser....EVER!

Don't answer this, but my twisted mind is trying to guess the girlie-surgery you might have had causing you to be relieved of 22 pounds...I'm guessing since you didn't offer to donate the "extra" mammary to MY cause, you had a limb amputated, a siamese twin removed from your left side , got one heck of a hair cut plus body wax, an ovarian cyst the size of a Volkswagon Beetle, or "other".



Did I post my results yet today?
Aaron- put me down for -2 for the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. 4 more!

Ugh...that reminds me of all the candy I won't be eating on Feb. 14th.

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

We've still got a handful left to check in, but we are just HAMMERIN' it this week. Great job all!

 

[punkin413]

lauren - i'm looking at that website and it looks really cool! my only question is do they offer the weights? i notice they all have a specific kind of weight and i'm wondering if that comes with the system or if you can buy them or what? i have bar weights (from body pump) but not free weights like that.

Dawn~ Welcome back!! I'll have to get over to your TR to see what you were up to. I'm so sorry we weren't able to get together even though we were both at MVMCP.

OMG.....i TOTALLY forgot about that!!!! you know how you get to disney world and you say you're gonna do all these things and then your brain is overwhelmed by the magic and you have disney amnesia? apparently that's what happened with me. i don't know if i could've managed it that night anyway. you will have to see what happened in my TR that night - it was crazy!

I have a question does anyone else feel intimated about starting & going to a new gym?? And if so any pointers on how to get over it. Thanks for all the help

my best friend is a fitness trainer in a gym and so she gets this from new members a lot. take it from me: BE PROUD THAT YOU'RE THERE!!!!! you being in that gym is a lot more than most people can say. and if anyone looks at you with anything other than a good attitude then who cares - they're a jerk anyway. honestly most people are just focused on getting through their workout and if they're there for any other reason then they're flat-out losers in my opinion.
