This is the picture that turned out best from our side trip to Utah. Utahmama and Spongemommie are fabulous and fun, and UM's daughter is a cutie pie (she managed to avoid the paparazzi).
Funny how my camera seemed to automatically cut off our lower halves. Weird!
 
Hey everyone, I've got a bit of a problem. I have this friend who for months now has been trying to lose weight but they don't exercise and don't eat healthy but they eat little. They tell me time after time that if they eat lunch they can't eat dinner. This person doesn't eat breakfast and if they eat dinner it's because they didn't eat lunch. I've told them over and over that eating one meal a day isn't going to make them lose weight, but they won't listen to me. It's grating on my nerves immensely everytime they tell me they aren't eating because they ate once today. They say they know a lot about losing weight but they know I eat a lot during the day and I've maintained my weight for a year and a half and still going strong. I've tried to ignore it but it seems like they tell me this just to get me frazzled about them being unhealthy.

After every meal they say they want to throw up. I have another friend who has thrown up before and I'm not going there again. I keep telling them that it is not healthy and it's common sense that you have to eat. Mind you this person is an adult and 2x older than I am, but they still don't get it.

I don't know what to do or what to tell them. I don't want to get into a fight because they just tell me that they know what they're doing and know a million things more about losing weight than I do and they don't listen to anything I say. But it's the most annoying thing when they keep looking me in the face and saying I'm not eating. I've blown it off for months and I don't know what I'm going to do about it.

Advice? TIA!

SnowWhite:
I have to agree with DWheal on this one. Only they have to want to make the change to their eating habits and find the will power to lose the weight. I would continue doing what your doing for your on personal weight loss and let them see your sucess. Maybe a light will go off somewhere and they will see your sucess. Only when they ask for advise would I give it.

Ok I weighed in on Tuesday at WW and I am down -1 I was worried I wouldn't be dow but I am happy with the loss. I got the FLU NASEL mist at work and within a day I was flat out sick in bed. So I didn't do real well counting points last week. I have a feeling this is going to be a bad cold and flu season. There is a town/school district in our state of Wisconsin that has already closed schools because of students being so sick! :scared1: Here's to everyone staying healthy!
 
I just didn't want them to be on the wrong track and get really sick from not eating but I guess I'll just let them be responsible. Thanks for the advice. :goodvibes
 
I wanted to add two pictures to complete this TR.

Thanks! I'm glad I posted this here, but it was supposed to go at the end of my DLRP trippie. I should lay off the late-night posting.

It was great meeting our thread-mama and her partner in-crime. They really are wonderful women.
 
I gained 1.2lbs from last Friday.

BUT on Wednesday I was down 1.4 lbs from last week. Go figure. I ate out last night and was snacking more than usual during the day because I was at a conference so I'm hoping it's just bloat and not a true weight gain.
 
Just wanted to post some pics of my Goldendoodle, Winston. He turned 1 yesterday and I had a small party for him at a park down here. He loved it! So I thought I'd post some pics of Winston "through the year". Enjoy!

Last December, after I had just picked him up from the "breeder" at 10 weeks old:

I went to WW yesterday, and I was down .6. Not fabulous, but at least I'm in the right direction. I'm a little nervous about the next 2 weekends, because we're leading a retreat next weekend, so away from home from Fri. p.m. to Sunday night, and the next weekend we are at DL to see the Halloween decorations, and then at my sister's for a big party. Temptations abound.
I'm trying to step up the exercise. I just found out that I had a Leslie Sansome workout dvd tucked away in my Nutrisystem stuff from a year ago. It was a pretty good workout. It was also nice to change things up from the bike or elliptical.
 
I have been horrible with posting weight loss!! We are being audited for 2007 and it sucks. I have all the proof they want except for one thing from DH's previous employer. It's been a pain to get but it's "supposed" to be on it's way. Anyway...I have been losing about 1.5 lbs a week. I could do better if I wasn't sneaking the halloween candy. Why in the world did I buy it so early??? ;)
 
This thread needs to be jumped back to life

any thoughts on how we can get this thing going again. I know for myself it was a great support system to lose weight. I know you peeps are all out there!!!! what can we do to turn this thread around?

I would love to see this thread like it use to be. Just keep posting maybe everyone will come back.

How is Wendy? I never see her post anymore. I hope that she is doing well.
 
I forgot to post that I'm a SAMER this week. :rolleyes: Maybe next week.

Keep up the good work. You'll get there. Have a great time in DL. We're planning a trip to DW for Oct. 2010 to see the decorations and to go to the MNSSHP. Be sure to post some pics. :)

Congrats on the weight loss. Halloween candy is sooooooo evil. :)
 
I'm down just over 1 lb, but technically a samer since I had a little over 1 lb gain last week.
 
Good Morning All!
I wanted to let you all know that I weighed in at WW last night and lost

-3.8 :banana:

Very happy with that!

Sorry I haven't been a very good PEEP lately. My doggie has been sick and last week Wednesday he passed away in his sleep. :sad1: So I have been very sad. He was a mommy dog which makes harder.

On top of it we are remodeling our kitchen ourselves :scared1: It's going well but slow. I didn't realize how putzy it would be. I am so glad it's a small galley kitchen. I can't imagine what it would cost to have a contractor.

So I am really happy with my weight loss this week given it being a stressful time right now.

Have a great day! :goodvibes

Sorry about your pooch. Hugs!
Congrats on your weight loss though.
 
Not to beat a dead horse but this morning I had to get to the 3 page of my user cp to find this thread :scared1: this thread use to always be the first or second all the time and now I have to find it...so sad!

its my fault too I havent been posting as much either.

what is new in peep land?!
 
I think things would come to life if maybe Wendy the creator of the thread would come back? :confused3

I supose though she is busy with life like all of us are.

I wish I knew what to do to jump start this again. Maybe people will return with the Holiday's coming?
 
I agree...I miss the "old peeps" thread. I check in but never see anyone posting so I don't bother posting either. Plus I don't really have much to report, but still I miss all the off topic things we'd talk about.

I miss the old peeps thread too. I wonder how Ginas wedding went?
