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

[DisCanCan]

I lost -7!! You have to remember that I just started eating right & exercise!! But I am excited that it is starting out this way, gives motivation to continue on doing what I am doing… But I can’t believe I made it out of my house this week though cuz the weather here (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) has been NASTY!! For the past week it has been -48 degrees C with the wind chill so going out side to your car your skin can freeze with in seconds.

Laura I am so sorry!

 

[monymony3471]

WOW!!!! You are my inspiration!!!

I don't know about that, but I'll certainly cheer you on. I have fallen off of this thing way too many times. BUT NOT THIS TIME!!!!


Right everyone????

I think you are the winner with the coldest temperatures.

We hit -23 today. Brrrrrrrr.

Furnance is set at 67 and has run more today than I care to know.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Suprisingly, I'm -1.5 this week.
I haven't exercised in a few days because of school and overate some, but I'm determined this week!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Hi Everyone!

Just checking in! Tomorrow I start the new diet. Wish me luck!!

Well let me tell you what the weather is like today here in Wisconsin! It's -9 with wind chills at -40!!!!! I was so afraid my car wouldn't start this morning!

Ummm.... all the schools in Wisconsin I think are closed today with the possiblity of them being closed tomorrow to. We won't warm up until Saturday!

Stay warm everyone and good luck tomorrow!

good luck!

Cool

Ok guys. I need some pizie dust from my peeps. Long story short - my mom h as pancreatitis that they do not know the cause. She has several cysts on her pancreas (only one in Nov). She had an endoscopic biopsy already (nov 20th) which showed no cancer. She's been a lot of pain since and saturday actually went to the ER because she was in so much pain. They are doing another endoscopic biopsy today (she's there now). Please keep her in your thoughts today that there is no cancer. I'm scared to death. Needless to say my eating has not been too good. Not that I'm gorging but I'm not eating well.

Laura

You are in my thoughts and prayers!

lovealldisney - -9 degrees???? that is COLD! it's supposed to be 11 degrees here tomorrow and i thought that was bad. BRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!! i'm ready for spring. is it may yet?

laura - lots of pixie dust and good thoughts for you and your mommy!

so i think i've found a secret to help myself not snack at night. last night ray cleaned up our bonus room, which we haven't actually used in like 2 years, and we watched TV up there instead of down in the living room. well, i didn't have a burning desire during a commercial to go get a snack in the ever-so-convenient kitchen because i would have to walk down and up the stairs. so all i had was yogurt and that was it! (i mean other than my dinner.) snacking at night is my worst habit and hopefully this will help me with it! laziness is the key!!!!

and if you do venture toward a snack at least you have the benefit of exercise up and down the stairs!

Isn't this terrible?!? At least it isn't snowing, so we don't have to worry about heading out in this stuff to clear driveways. I just have to make it from my office to the parking lot without getting frostbite, and I'll be happy.

My ear hurts! I noticed last week that my hearing was a little muffled. So I bought some over-the-counter ear wax removal drops. I put them in my left ear Tuesday morning, and they made things worse! By Tuesday night I had almost no hearing at all in my left ear. I was up all night because of it, and it was even worse last night. It was to the point where if I covered my right ear, I could barely hear my wife talking to me from 5 feet away. So I went to the Urgent Care place this morning, and got them checked out. They had to take this big syringe and blasted warm water into my ear until it was cleaned out. But the nurse kept wanting to show it to me! I had no interest in seeing what was coming out of my ear. My eardrum is still enflamed, so my hearing is a little bit "off". But the doc said that it should heal itself in a day or two. You don't realize how important BOTH ears are until you lose use of one of them.

Happy weigh-in eve everybody!

Hope your ear is better soon!

It was -4 here this morning, before the windchill, don;t know what it was when the wind was factored in. I actually had to fight with my DD(15) to get her to wear a winter coat!

Ooh weather update....we are in a HEATWAVE! Weather channel just said the low here overnight will be +1!!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

My boys are sleeping and have no idea the school has been cancelled. I can't wait for them to wake up thinking they missed the bus! They will be awaken by the sounds of all the lil ones eating breakfast, run down the stairs in their skivies asking me what time it is, and I'll tell them after 8 didn't you set your alarm? with my staightest mommy face. I owe them for all the greys they've given me

I love being a mom!!!!!


drum roll please

Remember I am in Phase 1 of South Beach and I probably lost a ton of water since I run to the bathroom 3 times an hour..........


-7

I even rounded up to compensate for next week.

Phase 1 is always good to me!

I wish you all great numbers today!

Laura still thinking of your mom.

You are evil in a very delighful way!

 

[pixie dust 112]

I'm -.2 nope not much but I'll take it. Bad news on mom guys. They found cancer cells in the fluid from the cysts this time and now she has a tumor in her pancreas. I'm ok for now until we find out more. Today she goes to a CAT scan and they actually take pictures of the pancreas and slice them (the pictures not her pancreas) to look at the tumor more closely. There is still a teeny weeny bit of hope that there is too much inflammation to really tell but she had some blood work done too that showed that something was going on. Please keep her in your thoughts, please. Thank you very much.

PS - Monica great loss, Kelly - you too. Sparkie and Pooh's Honey Pot way to go.

I will think good thoughts for you! Hopefully, it will be ok. I know you are from Connecticut, if it is too bad do not hesitate to go to SLoan in NYC. THe literally saved my cousin's life last year. Some of you will remember that in Dec 2007 she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer in her kidney and liver...She is now cancer free. Laura ~ We are so blessed to live in an area with access to some incredible medical facilities and professionals, take advantage of them if needed! Prayer are being said for you and your mom!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Thank you all for your prayers and kind words for my dad. I really appreciate how supportive every one here is, not just about weight, but about life.

Well, I'm back home, and I have been fine with eating well and making good choices. I was so busy with taking care of Dad's arrangements and stuff that I didn't get in a speck of exercise. But over the course of the two weeks of the new year, I am -4. Just 1 pound away from what I challenged myself for the Valentine's Massacre.

Laura, I'm saying some prayers for you and your mom. And sending big hugs.

Pakey, you have such a great outlook, you always make me smile.

And great job to all the losers and samers!

Good to have you back! Here's a few more

 

[pixie dust 112]

OK I'm all caught up now! WOW....Pretty numbers peeps! Except for you numbers Aaron, they are not pretty, they are hunkalicious!

I am -1.5 this week.

 

[punkin413]

I don't know about that, but I'll certainly cheer you on. I have fallen off of this thing way too many times. BUT NOT THIS TIME!!!!


Right everyone????

you people talking about -23 and -48 are killing me!!!! it's 30 degrees here and i'm about to freeze my tooshie off. i don't know how you guys do it!

 

[Pakey]

Are you guys going to hate me if I say it's been mid 60's here this week? We go to WDW and DCL cruise in a week and I'm scared it will be colder there than here!!!

I did spend a year living in Minnesota and I feel really bad for all of you this winter.

 

[monymony3471]

We get these cold temps for a few days every winter.



So, on the evil mom front.

Oldest son woke up, slowly walked down the steps and this is what transpired:

DS: Uh, mom?

Me: Yes?

DS: What time is it?

Me: 7:44 (His bus comes at 7:10)

DS: Why didn't you wake me up?!

Me: Why didn't you set your alarm? (I hide a laugh)

DS: Uh, I don't have one.

Me: Ya right.

DS: Mom! I have a mid term today!

Me: I know.

DS: Why didn't you wake me?! (getting louder-frustrated)

Me: I didn't know I had to.

DS: Huh? (pause) Wait! What day is it?

Me: Friday.

DS: Friday?! (eyes getting big)

Me: Yes.

DS: But I have school toady! (hands go up in the air)

Me: No you don't.

DS: I don't? (quizzical look on face)

Me: No.

DS: Why?

Me: Cause it's too cold.........why don't you go back to sleep.

long pause.

I laugh.

DS: I'll remember this mom! (and he goes upstairs.)



The joys of parenting a pre-teen boy!

Laura - Keeping you and mom in prayers. Hang in there, honey.

I lost -7!! You have to remember that I just started eating right & exercise!! But I am excited that it is starting out this way, gives motivation to continue on doing what I am doing… But I can’t believe I made it out of my house this week though cuz the weather here (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada) has been NASTY!! For the past week it has been -48 degrees C with the wind chill so going out side to your car your skin can freeze with in seconds.

I went to the Celsius to Fahrenheit converter online. that's 54 below in F. Yikes. I don't know if Pakey or I had the warmest day. It was 72 here today. Balmy!

I am down .8. I'm at the lowest I've been in more than a year. to all the losers here.

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Congrats to all that put up big numbers this week and hugs to all that need them.

I'm down 1 lb this week. My husband has been dieting/exercising since the 1st & has lost 12 lbs. I'm really proud of him.

 

[ArielSRL]

Well, I did my weigh in, but there is nothing to post because today was my (re)starting off day. Based on what number showed up on the scale today and what I want to end up at, my goal is to lose 11.8 lbs. Hopefully I will be able to post a loss next Friday.

 

[the Fidge]

OK something is a miss here...DOWN - 2. I have been eatting much fruits and vegetables. Not going over 60 carbs a day. Yes water yuck with lemon. I feel very puffy and my stomach is really really bloated. My waist was tighter in my pants too. Grrrr is all I got to say and yes did lots of walking too. I was really hoping for something more but it is what it is right??

Laura - My prayers for you and your family. Most especially for your Mom and those entrusted with her care.

 

[monymony3471]

Fran: Yea to DH! It's easier for me when DH and I do this together. He has no choice, since he doesn't cook, so when I'm dieting, so is he. But he's not complaining.

Fidge: Don't get discouraged. 2 pound loss is so much better than a 2 pound gain. Keep up the hard work.

Dwheatl: Great job!

Happy Saturday morning to you all! Temperature is 5 and -14 with wind chill.

Off to take Mal to dance and she wants to cut her hair.


So we are then headed to Miss Cathy's for her first real hair cut.

I'll post before and after pics. She donating her long pony to Locks of Love.

This was all her decision. I'm very proud of her.

Do you ever workout with weights? I am convinced working out with weights is the answer

 

[punkin413]

as aaron says, slow and steady wins the race. i think 2 pounds is excellent for a week's worth of work!

-2 is an incredible achievement!!! When I used to run a diet and fitness class I used to get so upset with people who were disappointed that they "only" lost 1 or 2lbs in a week!!!! Do you know for every 1lb you lose you have had to cut 3000 calories from what your body needs - and you have managed that TWICE in a week!!! ITS AMAZING!!!!!

PS - I am really bloated too! Darn fruit!!! Just had to take my dogs out with my jeans unbuttoned at the top and pray my coat covered it!!

 

[dismom9761]

Laura,keeping your family in my prayers.

you people talking about -23 and -48 are killing me!!!! it's 30 degrees here and i'm about to freeze my tooshie off. i don't know how you guys do it!

I didn't get to post yesterday.I am down 3 lbs.
