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

[monymony3471]

Holy crap this tread is moving! I haven't gone back to read everything yet, but I saw some very familiar names a few pages back. Great to see!

I had a really good 2010. My computer took a dive over the holidays and I haven't gotten around to restoring the spreadsheet that I used to track my progress, but I think I lost around 15 pounds. I'm pretty sure I was 160 to start 2010, and I finished 2010 at 145. And most of that weight came off after June. So I am five pounds away from hitting the magical 100-pound lost mark. (It's still shocking to think that I had 100 pounds to lose.) I figure another 10-15 pounds from where I am now, and I'll be good.

Gotta run for now. I'll try to catch up later tonight or tomorrow. (When I will be posting my +/- number...)

I'm so happy you are still around, and more impressed with your success. WTG!!!!

Almost forgot...my niece and nephew are having a joint family birthday celebration this Sunday at their house. I'm pretty sure it will be pizza, cake of course and I have no idea what else. I'm really trying to be "good" over the weekends, since a lot of the time I have a tendency to let myself go a little bit too crazy on Saturday and Sunday which of course impacts my overall loss for the week so I really want to stay on points. I figured I will have one slice of pizza, a small slice of cake without ice cream if that is an option, and I'm hoping and praying she has a salad or veggie tray as well so I can nibble on that too. Plus water and/or diet soda - no regular soda for me! Think that sounds good? Any other suggestions so I don't totally blow out but also don't starve all afternoon?

Oh and I have realized that even though I'm struggling to find extra work out time during the week, I do have Saturday and Sunday! And Friday afternoon since I have no life So my goal for this weekend is to work out 2/3 days. It's a lot more than I'm doing right now so its gotta help, right?

I think that eating before you go would work and then IF there is a veggie tray you can nibble on that or bring your own. I'm sure they would understand and support you for that. Any exercise is better than none.

Good evening Peeps!! I hope everyone had a great day and was able to be more mindful of the choices you made through the day.

I thought the pickles might be a little too messy for the car but they only dripped twice and I had a napkin under them at the time. You can drain them a bit before packing them in a to go container by putting them on a plate for a few mins.

FPU is the Dave Ramsey plan. It was all over the budget boards a year and a half ago. It can be hard to get started and Dave is brutally honest but when I added up what we were spending to pay off 'yesterday's mistakes' and just blowing on 'stuff' I almost choked. Nearly 20% of our income!!! The program starts with debt elimination and moves into wealth building. You can listen to him on a lot of talk radio stations or on his website: http://www.daveramsey.com/home/

The green bands were mailed to the Peeps in the spring of 2008. They came from Pixie Dust and I thought you as well. They are lime green and imprinted with 'WWPD? Just keep on slimming' and 'DIS Peeps Skinny Minnies.' I've had mine tucked away as a memento of all the great friends I made on the Peeps thread.

I'm glad I could help and inspire someone. I've used 1 liter water bottles too. I have a particular lunge type stance that I hold while working my arms and shoulders. It really helps almost all muscle groups as I have to have nearly perfect posture to keep from falling over.

I was not a very good peep today. I started out pretty greatatmeal and hot tea for breakfast; carrot slivers, tomato wedges, an apple and a cup of tiny oranges for lunch but totally blew it on the way home. Those danged crack fries got me...... stupid McD's promotion...... $1.99 happy meals and buy one get one for a penny burger special..... I actually added up all the calories I ate. Looking at the calories and being accountable for all of them is progress though. I will have to plan for my happy meals (with apples) from now on. My 50 days of fitness program officially starts on the 17th but I got my log in and access to the support system today so I have to check out all the features.

I'm gonna run; my family has been playing the band version of Gutiar Hero and I'm missing out on all the fun. Have a wonderful night and great weigh in tomorrow!

I admire your honesty. I refuse to pull into any fast food restaurant for the next 6 months. I just can't be trusted.

So, I figured out my problem this morning, I must of had a touch of a bug, or someone slipped an x-lax in my coffee. Wasn't pretty. Good thing I didn't want to each much today. TMI? Sorry, I can't help myself. teehee

Good luck tomorrow peeps! I hope I can post a ticker/ribbon/thingy.

SOOO, you now live NEAR Mickey Mouse!??? I didnt know! COOOL!
My "baby" is 21... yet still the baby fat lingers. I think this is my year to get a handle on that
Sorry to hear about all the cleaning Baby steps (wait, you scrubbed on your hands and knees like a cave-woman???? *faint* JK...my white grout is a pretty grayish color now)

I do live about 22 miles from the mouse now!

And this grout was so dirty it was black & so were our feet if we walked around barefoot - gross! And there was a lot more than just grout. It just took longer than anything else to deal with.

Hey you exercised while cleaning LOL

I have an announcement to make - I had a peep meet at Christmas time and I was so excited. Guess who I met?

Yuppers! Lynda and little Avery1 Alls my DD5 wanted to do was hold him. and I had to keep telling her he's too little.

I did get a workout!

And it was great to meet you Laura!

You DD is a doll too!

 

[dwheatl]

I thought the bands came from Aries (Christine?). I think she had a baby in the last year or two.

don't you hate when you eat something impulsively, then figure out the points/calories, and find out it totally wasn't worth it? I had a Handi-snacks cookie bar today. It was tiny, but ended up being four points. Grrr! There are so many good things I could have had instead. Oh, well, live and learn!

You're right it was Aries not PD who sent them.

I have dieter's remorse a lot. I think that's one of the hardest things to come to terms with. I know there are better choices or I could've planned better but I didn't. While that brownie would make me happy now; it's not going to be good in the long run and so I refuse it even though I'm going to be miserable about it.

I got on the scale this morning. I have a base for my 3rd,5th, 10th start over. It's almost the same as my first peeps weigh in all those years ago..... I'm going to do some planning and will have some progress next week. I want to be 3 lbs lighter for my starting weight in the fitness challenge.

Hi Aaron! Great to see you! WOW congrats on the weight loss! Way to go!

I would fill up on free fruit and veggies (if your doing WW) before you go and drink alot of water. Then while there think of all the sodium in that pizza and how it will make you feel if you over eat.

You're right it was Aries not PD who sent them.

I have dieter's remorse a lot. I think that's one of the hardest things to come to terms with. I know there are better choices or I could've planned better but I didn't.

The dieters remorse is hard for me to. I think we tend to think the negative about ourselves not the positive. Have you thought about journaling your weight loss? What you ate, how you felt after you ate something, what accomplishments you achieved that day ect...??? For me that really helps.

Good Morning Peeps!

-2.8 lbs

Not a bad start, plus it was really only 3 full days of being back on WW - Tues, Wed, Thur - so I'm really pleased with that. I will admit that I had a small slip up last night. The leftover kashi pizza was calling my name and I just couldn't resist so I ate it. Had to dip into my 35 extra points, but that's what they are there for, right?

Have a great, skinny day everyone!

Yes that's what they are there for and you shouldn't feel guilty using them.

 

[bettyann29]

Thank you everyone for the welcome back.. Im so excited to be here and lose some of this weight!!

Wonders- Congrats on the weightloss!!

I ended up walking only 2 miles yesterday, but plan on getting out there today and doing more.. I had my first official weigh in this morning and I have lost!

- 5.5 pounds

 

[LMO429]

I'm down -4.1 Pounds



while normally I would be thrilled with this amount of weight loss its weight I gained over the holidays. But its a start. Yesterday was my 5th straight full day of the new ww plan and i guess its working

So far looks like great numbers...keep them coming!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

First weigh in of the New Year, and I lost 1.2 pounds! This put my weight at an all time low of 144.2, which represents a total of 95.8 pounds lost.

I've been on the new WW plan since they introduced it after Thanksgiving, and I must say it seems to work really well. Two years ago I gained 10 pounds over the holidays, and this year I managed to lose three.

Congrats to all the losers so far. Love to see those numbers!

Have a great day everybody!

 

[lovealldisney]

Ok I have some yummy WW recipes I wanted to post my family loves both of these.

15 Minute Vegetarian Chili ( yields 4 servings)

1 tsp. canola oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced
14 1/2oz can stewed tomatoes
15oz can kidney beans
15 1/4oz can yellow corn (drained)
15oz can tomatoe sauce
1 tbsp chili powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper
1/4 cup dehydrated onion flakes (I used a small chopped onion and cooked this with the garlic)
1/4 tsp. black pepper
4 tbsp low fat shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Heat oil in a large non stick pot over medium heat. Add garlic, cook stirring until aromatic, add tomatoes, beans, corn, tomatoe sauce, chili powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, onion flakes, and pepper stir well.
Bring to a boil stirring frequently until is thick about 5 mins. Spoon into serving bowls sprinkle with 1 tbsp of cheese.
Yields about 1 1/4 cup servings.

Points Value:

Old plan 6 points
New plan 8 points

This is very filling. I have also frozen this and it reheats well right from the freezer in the microwave. It's an easy thing to make over the weekend to make and freeze for an easy thing to grab for lunch at work.

Spinach Salad with Pears, Almonds, and Cranberries (yields 4 servings)

2 tbsp red wine vinegar
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp coarse ground mustard
2 tsp maple flavored pancake syrup
2 tsp shallots
6oz fresh baby spinach (about 8 cups)
1 large ripe pear cored and thinly sliced into 12 pieces ( you could add more now that they are free)
6 tbsp chopped unsalted, dry roasted almonds
1/4 cup dried cranberries

Wisk first 5 ingredients together until blended then pour 1/4 cup into large serving bowl. Add spinach and toss until coated.
Arrange 2 cups of dressed spinach on 4 plates and top with 3 pear slices, sprinkle with 1 1/2 tbsp almonds and 1 tbsp cranberries. Drizzle each salad with 1 tbsp remaining dressing and serve.
1 salad per serving

WW points
Old plan 4 points
New plan 6 points

I like to make extra dressing and use it on other salads I have also used apple in place of the pear.

WOW aaron you are so close to 100 pounds gone!!!!!! Amazing!

 

[lovealldisney]

I going to have to weigh in tomorrow. It seems my battery operated scale need batteries! Its been a while since I've used it!

 

[DisneyLaura]

Ok so I had all these quotes and then poof So now I'm just going to do a generic response

Congrats to all the losers!

French fries are the devil especially McD's

Aaron - yeah you're back and such an inspiration to me as well, I have to lose over a 100 lb too and I know it can be done!

So I use spark people to track my calories, exercise and weight and the last time I entered a weight was 1/2/11 so I'm starting with that weight. I weighed in this morning and was very happy with the results. Before I post that I will say a lot of it has to do with being sick and not eating very much besides soup for three days and plus AF arrived yesterday morning so I know it's a lot of water weight but I'll take it.

- 5 lbs for this week

I'm happy and will be starting my exercising back up this weekend as well. Not that I can breathe out of my mouth and nose

 

[monymony3471]

My stomach is still not well. I'm taking it easy today but still following WW plan.

My official weigh in is Monday, I need accountability for the weekends. I will post anyways on Fridays to follow along for today.

-4.8

yabba dabba doooo!!!!!!


I like!

Great job everybody! You all rock!

 

[LMO429]

Just got done working out..Turbofire 55. Its hard as hell and fun as hell..If you love to exercise you will love these dvds so fun! doesnt make working out hell at all trust me

I am with you on this. We can do it this time... take it off and keep it off.


Aaron, such an inspiration!!

Lynda!! So glad to see you here.

I can't express enough how happy I am to see everyone back and this thread moving again.


I am down 4.8 lbs since Mon morning, so I am clinging to that.


Other than that, geez. I swear my company tried to shove the entire month of December into the first work week of January. A 4-day work week at that! I was there from 7:45AM-7:30PM today, after the last two 10 hr days.

Also, I get to fly to San Antonio on Sunday afternoon for work, and will be there until Thursday, getting back late Thurs night, to turn around and drive the 2 hours to Charlotte for a hockey tournament. 5 hockey games to play in 3 days. At least that might burn some calories!!

 

[dwheatl]

Down .4. My next goal is to lose another 5.6. I'm glad everyone is here to encourage each other.

 

[monymony3471]

Morning PeePs!

Last night we went to Mals school free movie night. I planned so Tim and I could have popcorn. We did and it feels so normal. Again, another reason why I am digging WW. Oh we also had a pop each, he had a diet which is 0 points and I had a regular. I just do not like the taste of diet anymore.

Amazingly I was down another 2 pounds this morning.

Wanted to check in wish you all a great skinny day!

Taking Maddy to dance, she is so cute in her ballerina outfit and leg warmers! She is 3 1/2 already! I remember telling you I was pregnant with her like it was yesterday. Sigh, really ages this thread.

 

[UtahMama]

Yesterday was NOT a skinny day. I didnt log on here for one thing (BUSY, busy, busy!) nor did I log on to journal my points on WW!

It's just a huge blur...Costco Lasagna was involved!

So today, I brought a can of 1 point Progresso soup and a green salad with spray dressing (not that good, but "free") and lots of fruit and baby carrots to do damage control.

Went to IKEA to get some hampers and laundry baskets to replace the ones from the dryer-fire I had a couple days before Christmas! The new dryer works fabulously and my boyfriend installed some super cool pewter metal shelves. Still a few things I want to finish up like painting the cabinets, but it's NICE!

This is my weekend ON (I workd every other weekend) so I'll be here often (REALLY).

Now to read back and catch up!
