~DISappearing PEEPS~Vol. IV Come Play With Us!!!!!

[::Snow_White::]

dwheatl - Yeah, it's great when you get to a point when you need to exercise every other day or you feel horrible. Keeps you going.

Just came to brag about myself. I ended up on the treadmill and went for it. Walked 5 minutes, ran for TWO minutes, walked for two minutes, ran for THREE minutes! I ran for three minutes twice, and for two minutes three times. That's 12 minutes of running! I'm so happy I was able to do it, and it wasn't even that bad, I was sweating by the end but it was so worth it! I'm so excited.

Another original Peep.... peeking in

I'm looking to gain some control over my life and I did so well when I was with you guys.

For an update....

Weight loss/gain.... well lets just not think about it and start over.

Life..... Still crazy from time to time (happy pills are a good thing ). Still working nights. My son moved out on his own. My daughters are 18 and 13 and the grandbaby will be 1 in January. DD1 is in college and working. DD2 is in the throws of teenagerness and still dancing. And that Grandbaby that I was so worried about- well, yes she has changed my life.... and I just love that little precious.

New exercise routine.... chasing after a baby.... no wonder I was so thin in my 20's LOL! Nanna's tired!

Hey SnowWhite..... did you get the Harry Potter Half Blood Prince DVD? Cant wait for the next movie can you?

I read back a few pages and it was good to see some familiar names and some new Peeps too. Tell me what C25K is. A girl I work with has lose about 70 pounds doing the 7 day diet... its a book... Anybody heard of this or done it?

One last thing....
Any of you DVC members that want to rent some points?

Hi Peeps!!!

It's so amazing that everyone is coming back! Welcome back to new and old members! I know once Jan 1 rolls around this thread will be very active again.

I am like so many of you once I stray away from this thread my weight goes up! This really is a great place for support.

I for one can not wait for the new year to get here I have just about had it with the holiday eating and ready to feel healthy again!

 

[LMO429]

Hi all who remember me,

Just wanted to check in. I was one of the original members of this board.. thought I would just pop in and say Merry Christmas!

Unbelievable, another year has come and gone. My girls are now 15 and 13. Where does the time go? I am currently snowed in at home in Omaha. Blizzard conditions.. yuck. I hope this finds you all very well.

I am going to re-start my weight loss journey in January. Have a big family weddiing in October and hope to bring to them a new Belinda. My plan is to also quit smoking... so a two-fold battle......

I think of my friends here often... occasionally read about your success' and tribulations..


wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful new year!!!

Love,
Bee

Hi Bee! welcome back

I quit smoking 7 years ago. Everyone one is different but this is what helped me the most. I always use to smoke virgina slim lights as a daily smoker. My hardest times quitting were when I was in the car and on my office break. For the car I just made sure that I didnt have any in the car when I was driving but the other thing that helped me was just not buying cigarettes period no matter what. and when I did have the urge at a party or on a break from work I would have to ask to borrow one from a friend. Having to ask was a little embarrassing for me and reason two that helped the most for me was smoking a different brand like example marlboro red or a cigarette with menthol was not enjoyable for me as smoking my brand. I have not had a cigarette in years. I def feel healthier when I worked out once I quit and I love that my car and clothes dont smell like smoke anymore. Its def a hard habit to quit but it is possible and we are all here for you.

I'm new I've been doing the C25K http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml It's an awesome program that gets you off the couch and ready for a 5k in about 9 weeks. Best Program Ever! It seems hard a first, but before you know it your body is much stronger then it was and you feel like you can complete a 5k no problem! I can't wait until I run the 5k in Epcot in January.

We are DVC members but we don't have many points left. How many did you need?

Great Job!!!
I told you it gets easier!! And soon you'll get faster too!! I started looking at my speed on my treadmill and I am finally doing what you were! I'm running at 5 - 5.5 speed. I remember when 3.2 felt fast, now that is how I warm up!

I weighed myself after a couple weeks' absence from the scale. 161?! eek.

I bet it's mostly water weight. Don't get discouraged. I'm kinda afraid to weigh myself on Wednesday. When I get on the scale, I'm just going to repeat in my head 'water weight, water weight'



Sandy321 - I just wanted to let you know that I read your past TR and am reading your PTR. You have inspired me to do the 1/2 next year!!
Thanks!


You guys are great! I love being able to come here every day and 'talk' to you all. I also want to thank you for welcoming us newbies.

3 mph feels like your floating on air now, I start at 3 and got to around 3.4 for my warm up and I was excited to start that I kept walking faster and faster because 3 wasn't fast enough. I love running at 5-6mph you really feel like you're getting somewhere. And when you're running for so long, that 30 minutes FLY by. I couldn't believe how fast my 30 minutes went by yesterday.

Life..... Still crazy from time to time (happy pills are a good thing ). Still working nights. My son moved out on his own. My daughters are 18 and 13 and the grandbaby will be 1 in January. DD1 is in college and working. DD2 is in the throws of teenagerness and still dancing. And that Grandbaby that I was so worried about- well, yes she has changed my life.... and I just love that little precious.

Hey SnowWhite..... did you get the Harry Potter Half Blood Prince DVD? Cant wait for the next movie can you?

Glad to hear your grandbaby is doing well!

Yes, I did! I got it the day it came out or close to, I love it. I'm so excited for Part 1, and it's not even that far away. Considering that Order of the Phoenix came out in 2007 and Half Blood Prince in 2009. Deathly Hallows is in less than a year!

Sparkie - So good to "see" you. Welcome back.
I need to get up and exercise. We have a big party tomorrow (60 people) for our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. I've been running around trying to get everything ready, but it's the kind of activity that makes your back hurt, your head swim, etc. I need to do some focused exercise, like the Leslie Sansome Walk dvd, to get outside of my head and the million things I need to do. I've been taking a break by looking at hotels around DL for our Feb. break, but even that is stressing me out right now.
Tomorrow's workout? Boogie oogie oogie 'til I just can't boogie no more!

 

[redlight]

Hi Sparky.

I'm Amy. I lost almost 25 lbs over the summer. I gained a little back over the last month or so. Now, I want to get back on track and lose the rest of my excess.

Thanks for the support... The one thing I know for sure.. is you have to want to quit... I quit once for 5 yrs... then when all this stuff that went down, I was not smoking.. then started again when my marriage fell apart and my father died... within months of one another....

I am ready to start again... I want to lose weight and quit smoking... I will do it!!! dog gone it... lol

That might be something you don't want to see. Sometimes when I stop, parts of me keep going. We call that "gettin' jiggly with it."

 

[Bee]

Congrats! I wish you even more happiness in the next 25yrs!

I just love Will Smith- getting jiggly with it... roflmao!

Is my tummy supposed to jiggle like a bowl full of jelly.. lol

ummm dont think so...

Ok, I am back.. hopefully we can support each other, share funny and supportive stories, have fun and lose weight!!!

Luv ya,
Bee

 

[LMO429]

Morning Peeps!!!

I worked out yesterday and I am super sore today! Oh I forgot to post that my husband surprised me and got me the nordictrack incline treadmill with the ifit jillian michaels workout cards...cant wait for it to be delivered just in time for the new year

 

[Bee]

I bought a cookbook today.... weight watchers top menu....

Now all I have to do is cook

 

[natale1980]

Only down - .2
Can't say I'm very surprised this time. I have been doing allot of snacking in the last week. Not bad snacking... I still have not eaten any sweets or 'junk food' but I have been eating my share of bread and pretzels (that kind of thing).
I've been really stressed about money and work so I think I have been allowing myself to give in to the food temptation.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'll take the .2 loss! It's better then a gain!!!

-nat

 

[redlight]

A small loss or even no gain is great when you are struggling with the munchies monster.

 

[mousehouselover]

WooHoo!! Look at all the peeps flocking back to us! It's great to see everyone back again.

Danielle~ Happy Anniversary! LOL - gettin' jiggly.... Love it!

Bee~ Big You've hard a rough go of it the last few years. Carpe Diem dear lady. Grab hold and take charge. Good luck with the cooking efforts.

PD~ Glad to see you back as well!

I had more but got distracted and now it'll have to wait.... "See" y'all around!

Thanks... You are correct... it has been rough, very rough.... Something I would not wish on my worst enemy... and I do have one

This is about my future, not my past. This is getting past the BS.. and focusing on what will make me happy.. for the first time in my life.. it is time to do something for me.. I am hoping by me changing, it will have a positive effect on my lovely 13 yr old and we can attack this together. My plan is to make it a family activity. Pick some meals, go to the store-shop for food, and on Sundays prepare the ingredients and then it wont be such a chore throughout the week.

I also am going to eat breakfast... I do not know a thin person that skips breakfast.. I will also drink water, and go to the gym (YMCA) with my girls. My goal is 10 lbs a month... 100 by October

I will still have some to go after that, but I do not think that is an unreasonable goal......

Should not have to shop for many clothes... as I have a ton of clothes I can not wear... and as I get too small for my old clothes... out they go.. do not want to hold on to the old... want to go for the new!

So, I look forward to movng forward... positive thoughts... and looking forward to the support from my Peeps... old and new...

Luv ya,
Bee
