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

[Wonders10]

Hellow Peeps!

So for the UPDATE:

Love and miss you all much!

Robin

Congratulations on your new granddaughter! for all the drama surrounding it. When in March are you doing Disney? What resort? My mom and I are going the 26-29, staying at POR.

Shannon~ Sorry to hear about the tooth. Congrats on getting back on WW; you will learn the new program and will do great with it. Have fun planning your Disney trip!

My financial class is going ok. DH and I had to talk about our money as part of our homework. It was not a nice conversation. I am determined to put us on goot solid financial footing and never owe anything to anyone ever again. It's going to take a bit of work but I know it can be done.

Thanks! I'm pretty motivated by the new program actually...looking forward to my Friday weigh in. I carry my iphone with me all the time, calculating points and adding them to my tracker.

Good for you for getting your finances in check. I'm completely swamped with student loans - my combined monthly payments cost more than my rent! I'm trying to get one of them lowered so cross your fingers Sallie Mae cooperates. I also have some CC debt, which is my own fault. Right now, I am okay financially in the sense that I can pay all of my bills on time without a problem, but I don't have much left to save for the future, which is really frustrating for me. So I'm desperately trying to save here and there and not spending money on things I don't need so I can put any extra towards my CC. Once that gets gone, I will be in much better shape I think.

So tonight was probably the most non-relaxing evening ever. We've had severe weather statements, tornado warnings and all that fun stuff all night and I am deathly afraid of tornadoes. It was a nightmare listening to it. I couldn't stop shaking! But it actually seems, they jumped the gun because right now the worst seems to have gone over us and it was just some rain and lightning, although other parts of Florida are getting it much worse it seems. Maybe now I can finally go to sleep - I'm tired!

Hope everyone had a great Tuesday! And have a skinny Wednesday!

After Disney, I am going to try and reclaim ME, "again". I have from March to October. We are going on a Disney Dream Cruise and I would love to look "Dreamy"
Love and miss you all much!

Robin

Hey, Sparkie! We're here when you're ready to join us. Sending prayers and best wishes for you and your family.

Danielle~ I Cheesecake Factory cheesecake. I haven't had it in years though since it's so, so, so full of calories and fat.

My financial class is going ok. DH and I had to talk about our money as part of our homework. It was not a nice conversation. I am determined to put us on good solid financial footing and never owe anything to anyone ever again. It's going to take a bit of work but I know it can be done.

I didn't even have a bite of the cheesecake. that's a slippery slope greased with a lot of butter. I waited until I got home and had my 3 pt. biscotti and sugar-free cocoa. Much safer, and pretty darn satisfying.

Glad to see you are working on eliminating debt. My Dsis was just telling me about her DD's in-laws. They had amassed a mound of debt, and, at the age of 60, they are losing their house. They are moving in w/my niece, and it's a sad day for all concerned. so, to everyone, don't let debt get out of hand. There are very few things (even Disney) that are worth losing your home and your security.
Make good choices!

Hellow Peeps!

Long time no see.

Love and miss you all much!

Robin

Hey I remember you and all the drama that was going on 2-3 years ago. Sorry its still there. But glad you are planning on coming back. I will be here waiting, promise!

I've just been busy, and stressed, but its working in my favor.

Welcome Back Kat! I wanna see FB pictures of WDW and great views!

Wonders: I'll have to check out your TR soon. I need to experience disney through others for a while. Sigh.

 

[Sparkie]

We will be in Disney March 10-12 at Pop Century and then moving to Bay Lake for March 12 to March 19.

We should be a interesting group with our double stroller and my mom on a scooter. I really cant wait. I so need a break.

I keep threatening to take a "me" vacation and leave the entire family at home. I am going to do it one day. Just a few days to myself.

Thanks for the welcome backs. That is why I love you guys so much. We can post everyday or not for months or years and we are always welcomed "home".

Wishing you all a skinny day!

Hey Robin...Welcome Back!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

I use to be a big fan of the biggest loser but is anyone else bored of that show? I think Jillian is making the right move by leaving after this season.

Yes! We watch it because my wife enjoys it, and to be honest I still love seeing the "amazing transformations" at the end of each show. But the rest of the show is a major snooze-fest for me. I use it as an opportunity to catch up on my reading and just occasionally peek my head up from my book or magazine during the weigh-in portion of the show. Personally, I'm sick of Jillian trying to "fix" everyone and playing amateur psychologist. I can do without all of that emotional drama. But I'd imagine I'm in the minority on that, since that is probably a big reason people watch the show. I will say, though, that I'm enjoying the new trainers. I sort of prefer their way of training. Or maybe it's just that I like that "team" better, especially Rulon Gardner since I remember watching him win the Gold during the Olympics and there is something very intriguing to me about a former world class athlete who let himself go and is now fighting to get back into shape. But yeah, the show has definitely jumped the shark for me.

 

[Wonders10]

Has anyone watched "Heavy" on A&E? To me, its sort of like The Biggest Loser and Intervention combined into one show. Morbidly obese people are sent to this "facility" for a month to do hardcore training and diet, then sent home for the next 5 months to follow through, but they get training and psych help as well. It was okay, but I do enjoy seeing that transformation. So far none of them had hit their goal weight in those 6 months, but they all lost significant weight.

 

[HockeyKat]

Welcome Back Kat! I wanna see FB pictures of WDW and great views!

Send me a PM and I will friend you.


Welcome back Robin!!

Maybe now I can finally go to sleep - I'm tired!

We were in a really good position and had the possibility of being in a great position but blew it; seriously blew it. We stopped comunicating and moved in oposite directions and we're now facing the consequences. Tonight's lesson was on creating a budget and reconciling the differences between men's and women's financial views and dealing with differences in spending/savings habits. Lots of points really hit home for me and I'm hoping for DH as well.

That was some storm that moved through yesterday. Did you see the photo of the gas station is St Pete? The wind destroyed the canopy over the pumps and it landed on a car. Wow! I actually enjoy watching the lightening flash, dance and zing across the sky.

I didn't even have a bite of the cheesecake. that's a slippery slope greased with a lot of butter. I waited until I got home and had my 3 pt. biscotti and sugar-free cocoa. Much safer, and pretty darn satisfying.

What a great compromise to dessert. That's one of my more challenging issues. I still want dessert or something sweet. I try to have my fruit last for all my meals so I feel like I'm having dessert but it doesn't always work.

Hearing about so many people losing everything and seeing what my parents have gone through when my dad couldn't get work; I really never ever want to be in that position. I also feel I owe it to my family to be able to be fully engaged in life and not feel guilty or overwhelmed about paying for the bills we're creating.

Has anyone watched "Heavy" on A&E? To me, its sort of like The Biggest Loser and Intervention combined into one show. Morbidly obese people are sent to this "facility" for a month to do hardcore training and diet, then sent home for the next 5 months to follow through, but they get training and psych help as well. It was okay, but I do enjoy seeing that transformation. So far none of them had hit their goal weight in those 6 months, but they all lost significant weight.

I saw the pilot and enjoyed it. I want to see more of them at some point. I think it shows the real side of getting healthy and weight loss. It's not Biggest Loser, this is the real world that they have to live in everyday. Yes a lot of BL participants do well after they leave the ranch but Heavy sets people up to go it on their own for the purpose of changing their life with no other incentive than that.

I made it to the gym today. I was still a little sore from yesterday but made it through most of the workout I had planned. I had to cut my elliptical short because my hip was hurting a lot. I was told that I have bursitis but I think it's actually an orthopedic issue. I'm not a big fan of the elliptical machins they have anyway so next time I'll look for a treadmill, maybe one in the movie room so no one sees my fat. (LOL)

I missed my calorie intake goal agin. I added up just over 700 cals for the day. I was able to splurge on a really buttery corn from Green Giant. I'm still below the 1000 cal mark though. I don't want to eat for the sake of getting a minimum calorie count but I know it's not healthy to eat fewer than 1000 cal on a regular basis.

I already have quite a few peeps on my FB page but I'll have to look up the couple I don't have.

Hi All!

Sorry been MIA lately my DS had his wisdom teeth out and I've been home playing nurse!

Hope all is well and everyone has a great day.

Threatening? Just do it! My girls and I are planning the same thing. Go up north, hope to use the cousins cottage, outlet shop, casinos, wine, and sushi platters. The first night is always a hoot with lots of laughter. I think there will be more going this year after the stories we shared when we got home after last year.

Hey everyone, just checking in. I'm on a roll and hope to post a nice number tomorrow and sunday.

I have an unexpected free day without any day care children, so me and maddy are gonna spend some time to together, and i think I'll take her to a play place. I can sit in a MC Donalds without ordering anything. I am that strong!

Have a skinny minnie day!

Hi All!

Hope all is well and everyone has a great day.

Wisdom Teeth! I had mine out a few years ago - the drugs were nice and I lost 15 lbs! Hope your son is doing well!


Looking forward to weigh in tomorrow and trying hard to get in water and keep up that good eating. My pre-weigh today showed some decent numbers and I just hope they get even lower tomorrow. I have tons of points left and am planning on a relatively light dinner - eggs. I've been craving eggs like no one's business so going to make a fritatta tonight.


On a disney note, I'm wanting to stay an extra night in March for a total of 4 nts. Don't think my mom will go for it though. Also thinking of the WISHES dessert party - anyone done it before?

Thanks he's doing well, and he still has his appetite! Only eating soft foods still, is bummed he can't have pizza! I swear that kid could live on pizza alone and not gain an ounce!

Ugg I just remembered that tomorrow is our Holiday party for the department I work for! Hugh buffet of food! I don't think I did so well this week.

 

[gudrench3]

Hey there, I haven't posted in a while...but I'm back now. And I have a loss!!! I'm down to 203 today! So, I guess that would be -2 for me! Woo who!

I hope everyone is having a great Monday!!!

Hey there everyone! I am down another -2 lbs!!! Yay!!! I am now at 201...and oh so close to getting below 200! I haven't seen that number in a LONG TIME! I hope everyone is having a great day!

 

[Wonders10]

-2 lbs

So I lost the weight I had gained last week plus 4 ounces. I'll take it!

Anyone interested in doing a challenge like we (okay, you all) used to do? Not sure what date to pick. Other than Valentine's Day, which is 2 weeks away, I can't think of any special days coming up. St. Patrick's Day?

P.S. I sneezed really hard this morning and chomped my teeth together and now my "tooth" hurts again! It feels like I pushed it up even further and all I want to do is pull it down but don't think that's a good idea!

TGIF!

 

[lovealldisney]

Ok NEED advise, help, encouragement ect....

BIG holiday party I'm going to tonight!! It's a buffet... suggestions on what to choose??? I'm doing WW so you know.....


I do have my extra points so that will help....

 

[monymony3471]

Morning Peeps!

I am down -3.2lbs from last Friday. I am at a total loss of 16lbs.

Oh happy day!

We should do mini challenges Wonders.
I am swamped with 4 college classes if anyone wants to take on this or we can just monitor ourselves. I like small challenges, keeps you grounded.

 

[monymony3471]

LAD: Pick the best choices, or taste a little of everything, only eat until you are full. Being on weight watchers already, I would think you will get full fast, i'm not a dessert person, so I could skip that, don't know about you, maybe you could take a bit of someones (spouse, sister, etc)

Diet pops are free, lite beer if you want an adult beverage, dance alot, only allow yourself one trip up to the buffet, ask someone to make your plate,

This is from the top of my head.

Think of this party as a chance to be social, not that you are there to eat.

I hope you can take something with that and use it positively. Enjoy yourself and have fun.

We have my sons confirmation dinner sunday night at one of our favorite restaurants. I am gonna eat until I feel full and WILL ask for a container to put half in from the start. LMO's advice I think.

WDW trip this week! We checked in yesterday and will check out Sat AM. We managed to score Boardwalk view with our DVC points, and man. View is incredible!

I am not being very peep like. I will be back in force next Monday, though, so watch out world!

Oh, geek girl over here has been tracking mileage with my Garmin watch and footpod. I got the FR60W and this is the first time I have used it. According to it, I walked 5.8 miles today.

Have fun in WDW

Yes ma'am! Ask and ye shall receive!

We drove down yesterday from NC, leaving around 5AM and getting here around 2PM. Checked into BWV studo - Boardwark View, room was ready, and we napped/hung out on the balcony for a while. Dinner was 'Ohana.

Our room is directly above the model villa, in the Crest 'O the Wave section on the 3rd floor.

Today we slept late, again some hanging out on the balcony time, coffee, etc. Made it into the Magic Kingdom around 2PM, ate at Cosmic Rays, rode Buzz, TTC (twice), Space, Haunted Mansion, Pirates, and headed out around 5 for DTD. Had dinner at Paradiso 37 (not impressed) and came back to the resort to watch Illuminations from our balcony with a cocktail.

Tomorrow we check into a 1-bedroom villa, also BWV - Boardwalk View.

I saw that view too, gorgeous

Hellow Peeps!

Long time no see.

I check in over here every now and again. Still trying to get motivated to change my life. Well, my life has changed but I need to make some changes for myself but alas personality faults keep getting in the way.

So for the UPDATE:

I am now a grandmother of 2 beautiful granddaughters. Both children of my daughter who some of you may remember became a mother at age 17. So her first daughter is now 2 yo and the new baby is almost 2 months old. My daughter is back in school. She is working towards a foreign language major.... Spanish if you havent guessed already. The father of these children is Mexican and a LOSER!!! He has nothing to do with these children or his other child by another woman. I have been told that he doesnt want the responisbility of being a father, he just wants to live the single party life. Like I said LOSER!

My oldest son is back home. Not so much because he just loves life with mom and dad but economics dictates that he live at home. I'm hoping his economic status improves because I am learning that living with you adult children just isnt the way it is supposed to be.

I just cant seem to kick them out of the nest.... they keep clinging to the edge and climbing back in.

My youngest daughter is a freshman in high school and all about school. We are not dancing any more. She is participating in musical theater in school and hopes to go to college at USC. ( i hope her grades are good, otherwise I'll keep you all posted on which bank I plan to rob to pay for her tuition )



We are now DVC members. Love being able to plan vacations and I'm sure I will love it more once it is paid for.


Sooo......

We are headed to Disney for spring break. I would love to have some Disney pillow case dresses and flutter pants outfits for my gdaughters......


Do any of you have an Etsy account?
I would rather sponsor a peep than a stranger.


After Disney, I am going to try and reclaim ME, "again". I have from March to October. We are going on a Disney Dream Cruise and I would love to look "Dreamy"


Love and miss you all much!

Robin

Hi Robin Welcome back

I use to be a big fan of the biggest loser but is anyone else bored of that show? I think Jillian is making the right move by leaving after this season.

I used to faithfully watch it every tuesday but now I'm a gleek!

speaking of facebook..I do not think I am friends with everyone on facebook..pm your name if you want to be friends

I'm friends with most of you guys too but if anyone else is on pm me too

On a disney note, I'm wanting to stay an extra night in March for a total of 4 nts. Don't think my mom will go for it though. Also thinking of the WISHES dessert party - anyone done it before?

My friend did the wishes dessert party and said it was WONDERFUL

-2 lbs

So I lost the weight I had gained last week plus 4 ounces. I'll take it!

TGIF!

Sorry about your tooth problems - congrats on the weight loss

Ok I stayed the same this week. I did so good the first two weeks with measuring and weighing my foods and now

I think I need to jump start my weight loss again and just do Lean Cuisine dinners and salad for dinners again for a week and then go back to my measuring.

The kids had no school yesterday because we got another foot of snow I am so sick of snow. I know I live in New England but this is just not cool anymore. We can't even see pulling out of side streets because of the snow banks. Crazy I tell you.

Wendy - Hope your surgery went well, check in when you can honey
