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

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

Way to go!!!!! No graduate smiley???? Ugh!

Thanks! Tonight is the big night. I'm super excited!

Hi Peeps! Hope everyone is doing good...

Well I jump back on the band wagon to lose weight
but now its just to eat healthy bc the weight gain
has a good reason.

That's right this free dinning trip I will have a
Disney Baby inside!

So I guess after Dec./Jan. I will be able to weigh in
but i will be sticking around on the thread and not
disappear this time!

Congratulations!

Hey Peeps!

We leave for Walt Disney World Tomorrow!

I packed yesterday and my size 8 shorts were 2 big! I had to get the size 6s out and buy a couple of new pairs yesterday!


So I didn't weigh in but I would say my weight = based on how my clothes are fitting

I hope everyone has a nice weekend We wont be back until the 22nd!

Have a great trip! Only 19 more days until I'll be there!

Thanks LittleBoPeep!!!

Hey guys!
After a very hard week, being sick and not working out as often as I would have liked - I'm down 1 pound

Hope everyone is doing well. Sorry about all of the discouragement on the scale. Muscle gain can really affect your numbers, so I totally agree with all of you - you reach a point and the numbers stop mattering - what matters is how you feel. If everything is fitting better and you feel better, that's what is important.

Hello everyone! thank you all for the congrats and good
wishes. I cant wait for my doctor's appt.

more energy pregnant then when I wasnt. So I just finished
doing all my Friday cleaning and shopping so now just watching
my soap and catching up on my design work.

Happy Friday Everyone and lots of

First of all, weigh in! I'm down 2.4 this week!! That means I lost the 1.2 I gained last week and then another 1.2, AND I get a new ribbon!!! It has been MONTHS since that has happened! I am so thrilled. AND it also means I'm finally in the 180's. I can't remember when the last time that happened. I leave for Disney on Wednesday, so I'll weigh in then, but this is my last Friday weigh-in before leaving, so I'm happy it's a good one.

How exciting about the shorts! Have a great cruise, and hopefully we'll see you down there!

aaron - please take me off the memorial day challenge. i've made a huge decision. i'm no longer concentrating on the numbers. i'm so sick of looking for a loss every week and usually being disappointed. i worked out every day this week and ate really well and my scale says i gained almost 2 pounds. i know some of it is acid in my muscles because i'm sore but i'm still just really sick of looking at a number. my neighbor asked me yesterday if i'd lost more weight so i know i'm losing - it's just the scale sometimes disappoints me and usually on fridays!!!!!!

so that means that i won't be weighing in anymore on fridays. i will still weigh myself about once a week just because i think it's good to know your weight. and i will still definitely stick around here - it's encouraging to see everyone else's progress!

I DO hope we continue to see you around here! I certainly understand where you're coming from. I hate to see a bigger number on the scale when I know I've worked hard, and it's just a number!

What I don't like is that I've become so OCD with checking my weight (lately I've found myself stepping on the scale 3-4 times a night, every night) that every little fluctuation either makes me really happy or really upset. And that can't be good for my mental health. The thing is, I know that the scale is the only thing keeping me from going back to my old habits. So I really just need to find some middle ground with that. Like you said, maybe go back to weighing myself once a week just to keep myself honest; but not every night like I have been because that just drives me crazy. And I shouldn't use only that number to determine how healthy I am. But it's going to be tough after conditioning myself over the last few years that I'm only making progress when that number moves.

Yeah, probably not so good if you're checking the scale that often. I was checking every day, and sometimes more than once a day, a few months back, and I had to stop. I weigh once on Fridays and once on Tuesday or Wednesday, just so I have an idea of what to expect on Friday. For some reason, if I have a couple of days to process the possibility of posting a gain, I handle it better. Those are the ONLY times I allow myself to weigh though. It is working well for me for now.

I too wanted to say CONGRATS!!


Tomorrow a friend and I are going to a Fall Out Boy concert, and Sunday we're going shopping for some things we need for the trip and then having our moms over for a cook out for Mother's day, so I won't be around here much this weekend. Happy Friday everyone!

No problem. I've been fighting with that myself. I know that I'm eating well, and I'm exercising at least 60 minutes every day. But the scale isn't budging. I'll lose a pound, gain a pound. Lose a pound, gain a pound. I don't feel like I am depriving myself of anything, so I'm at a point with exercise and diet that I feel like I can maintain a healthy lifestyle with little to no effort. So maybe the low 160's is just where my body wants to be. And compared with the 240's that I started at, I know that I shouldn't be upset about that. But on the other hand, my BMI is on the very upper end of "Normal". If I gain a pound or two, then I'm back in the "Overweight" category. And my initial goal was 155. So I'm still almost 10 pounds from that. That's what I keep struggling with now.

What I don't like is that I've become so OCD with checking my weight (lately I've found myself stepping on the scale 3-4 times a night, every night) that every little fluctuation either makes me really happy or really upset. And that can't be good for my mental health. The thing is, I know that the scale is the only thing keeping me from going back to my old habits.

Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day!

i totally hear ya. i feel the same way. i just need a break from the scale for awhile. i also feel like maybe i'm just supposed to weight 135. it's like my body WON'T get to my goal of 130 and stay there! i went shopping today because kohl's had a big sale and i got 3 pairs of size 8 shorts/capris. i remember when i said that once i'm in a size 8 i'd be happy. definitely give yourself a break from the scale. i think once or twice a week is healthy but every day will drive you nuts!

Punkin what airport are you flying into

did you narrow down restaurants/bars yet?

laguardia.

we are definitely eating at mesa grill, blue fin, sardi's and ellen's stardust diner. but i have a huge list of others that people have told me about that i am going to keep an eye out for. i don't want to plan EVERY meal because we aren't going to be on a strict schedule most of the time. i have you recommendations on my list though!

Blue fin is excellent..make sure you order the blue fin cocktail they put a swedish fish on the bottom of it. and it gets drenched in alcohol YUM!

It's the end of another week, time to reflect on what I did to get to this point. I ate well, didn't count points and didn't go overboard. I didn't eat breakfast everyday. My body told me when I was hungry, I listened to it and provided nutritious food. I exercised some but not nearly as much as I should have. I drank my water everyday. I got a decent night's sleep on 6 days (the only day I didn't was the night the mastiff thought he should sleep in my bed......) After all that, I was - 1 lb for the week. It isn't much but it's 1 lb closer to a healthier weight.

Fran~ Congrats! I hope your graduation was fantastic!

Christine~ Have a wonderful pregnancy! Have a healthy 9 mos.

Lynda~ Are you coming to Indy again? We need to swap phone numbers again (DH lost yours from his phone......)

We leave for WDW in 8 days!!! I have to get my hair done tomorrow, replace some of our travel supplies, and start packing. I'm sure I'll find lots of other things that I need to do before we leave.

This may turn out to be our last central FL vacation. DH and I have started househunting in the area. We weren't planing on moving back to FL for several more yrs but some things have come up that made us re-think our plan. I could be a FL resident by Christmas!!

I do hope you stick around but I totally understand where you are. I go through phases where I have to do that for my own sanity. I think judging how you feel and how your clothes fit is the best measurement anyways. So many things can change that number on the scale. I have also always said I would be "happy if I was an 8 or 10" so I am hoping when I get there I can feel happy with it!

You have come SO far!! Give yourself credit for that! I do the same thing with my scale. I get to where I weigh in the morning, then weigh every time I go to the bathroom and then again before bed. I have to put the scale away for a few days to break the obsession. It can really change my whole day. If the scale is up it can ruin my mood and if it is down I am on cloud 9. And when I am down and dont feel like I did anything to earn it I feel guilty I need to get to a place where it doesnt effect me so much.

I have been feeling pretty good whats wierd is I have
more energy pregnant then when I wasnt. So I just finished
doing all my Friday cleaning and shopping so now just watching
my soap and catching up on my design work.

Happy Friday Everyone and lots of

Good for you! I was always so tired when I was pregnant. Take advantage of that energy in case it decides to leave you

First of all, weigh in! I'm down 2.4 this week!! That means I lost the 1.2 I gained last week and then another 1.2, AND I get a new ribbon!!! It has been MONTHS since that has happened! I am so thrilled. AND it also means I'm finally in the 180's. I can't remember when the last time that happened. I leave for Disney on Wednesday, so I'll weigh in then, but this is my last Friday weigh-in before leaving, so I'm happy it's a good one.

Congrats!! A new pretty ribbon!


A day late, but I was -1 this week. I was shocked because I really did nothing this week to earn it but I will take it I guess. I just feel like these last few pounds are gonna creep up and pile back on overnight one night. I cant ever just take it as it is and be happy about it I guess.

I was sick all day yesterday with strep, again. 4th time since November. Ugh. Feeling better today though, not good but better. I have my audition later so I am sure my sickly pasty complexion will work to my advantage

 

[dance2874]

WOW. No posts since yesterday?? Crazy!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Moms and Moms to be out there Nothing big planned here. Dinner with my mom and we are going to go to an indoor butterfly exhibit. (they have a tent with thousands of butterflies and they are so pretty. They land on you or the fruit they give you to feed them, very cool.)

My audition went well yesterday. I am not overly optimistic that I will get a call back but you never know. She was super nice and kept telling me I was doing a great job while we were speaking on camera...but I dont want to read too much into that. I am sure she probably says that to everyone

 

[UGABelle]

Hi Peeps!

Looks like everyone had a good week while I was vacationing - congrats to those who lost and on the baby peep announcement!

We had a VERY relaxing vacation - nothing but sitting on the beach or by the pool and enjoying the resort. It was an all-inclusive, so all you can eat food and drink...all the time! I didn't go TOO overboard (except maybe the nachos for lunch every day ) and when I weighed myself this morning, I was up about 1.5 lbs. I'm back into my normal routine, so hopefully most of that will be gone soon.

Hope everyone has a great week!

 

[lovealldisney]

Hi Peeps!
Sorry I have been MIA but I had computer problems! All is fixed now. Well as of Friday last week I was down -1 lb.


Hope all you momma's had a nice Mothers Day!!

 

[aries1980]

Happy Moms Day to all the moms!

 

[MA pigletfan]

wow quiet here huh!?
hope everyone had a lovely weekend..we had a nice cookout with our mommas ( and dads too..couldn't exclude them!) yesterday at our house. I ate pretty well this weekend but we did get chinese food on sat. that i finished today after spreading it out for 3 meals ..but i did go to the gym yesterday and will be working out tonight and the rest of the week so HOPEFULLY the chinese and AF won't do me in this Friday!!

That sounds wonderful! 1.5 will come off in no time too. We leave in about 4 weeks for our trip to Cancun and I cant wait. It is an all inclusive too and I cannot wait to have fruity drinks and nachos by the pool!

 

[MA pigletfan]

hey i guess we are just keeping the thread warm dance
Happy HUMP day again..i can't believe its already wednesday again..not that i am complaining!
I am going strong with my working out every day...i did level 2 jillian yesterday then about 10 minutes of a pilates on the ball work out..it was HARDER THAN I THOUGHT..which i am very excited about adding to my rotation

We went to Cancun for our honeymoon. We stayed at the Hilton, which isn't all-inclusive, but we were upgraded to the Suites, which included breakfast and an appetizer/cocktail hour, and that was all excellent. The all-inclusive was really fun this time though.

After this trip to the Dominican, we were trying to decide if we liked Cancun or Punta Cana better... and we decided we just couldn't choose

Hope you have a great time and have a margarita for me!

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hey Peeps

Just a fly-by, its been manic busy here! Roll on next week, im only working 3 days then I have 5 days off straight

Its WW tonight, so finally I will have a number to weigh in with on Friday!

Happy HUMP lmao day everyone!

 

[mousehouselover]

I've been following along and trying to finish up everything I need to do before our trip.

I just got my Mickey Monitor, there's all kinds of cool stuff in it. It's making me even more excited to get there on Monday.

I have a funny story to share. Our dog Ozzie has gone with DH to Starbucks at least once a week since shortly after he came to live with us. He is given a pup cup (small cup full of whipped cream) when they go through the drive through. He knows the word Starbucks and assocoiates it with his treat. He heard a Starbucks commercial the other day and thought DH was going to get a coffee. When DH didn't get up, he ran to the door, pranced around, ran back to DH trying to get him up and ran back to the door again. Dh had to promise to take him for his treat after I got home from work to calm him down. He also know Taco Bell and that he gets a cheese roll up when we go there. He's not a spoiled dog.......

 

[aries1980]

Hey peeps Hope everyones week has been good so far!

 

[punkin413]

hey, peeps! hope you guys are doing good. i made some fiber one apple cinnamon muffins on monday and they are very yummy! i highly recommend them for a quick breakfast. also, i've been trying those amy's organic frozen meals and they're really good!

i don't know if you guys remember or not but i broke my little toe on my left foot back in march. i've broken many toes in my life and i don't know if i'm getting old or what but it STILL hurts!!!! in the past my broken toes have healed with no problem but this one has been just awful. i had it x-rayed the day after i broke it because the entire top of my foot was bruised and i was afraid i'd broken something else. it was just my pinky toe but it was broken IN HALF. maybe that's why it's taking so long to heal. anyway, this makes exercising extremely frustrating and difficult. i can't run any more and i really enjoyed doing that. it hurts to walk on it for more than like half a mile. and when i'm doing any kind or cardio or weight training i have to be VERY careful not to put my entire body weight on that foot. for example with lunges i can't do a full lunge when my left foot is behind me. i still keep pushing on and doing what i can but i'm really getting frustrated with it!

that's so cute! i'll have to remember that about starbucks. my doggies would love that. every now and then we'll get them burgers from mcdonald's with no pickles. it's so funny - they won't eat pickles! whenever we first got them a burger we would cut the burgers up and put them in their bowls and i'd find little pieces of pickle all over the kitchen floor where they'd spit them out!
