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

Hi Everyone!

We are back from the Coast, had a fantastic week but now I feel fat and disgusting! I am so getting back on track!

I have read back - ARIES, congratulations on finding out its a boy! :cool1:

Hope everyone is having a good day :)

Thank you!
 
Hey everyone. Just popping my virtual head here quick to say hi. I don't have a weigh-in number just yet. My scale had a dead battery a week or two ago. Replaced it and got a starting number. (165 -- 8 pounds above my lowest but around what I've been maintaining for the past year or so.) But two weeks ago and into last week I had a cold or flu or something, which meant lots of comfort food and no exercise. This past Thursday was my 4-year wedding anniversary; I didn't think to weigh myself Thursday, and I didn't want to see an ugly number on Friday. So I avoided the scale. Hopefully this week I'll get back on that scale. But calorie counting is going well. I find myself eating a little more than I used to, which I am hoping won't have a negative effect on my weight. I'm trying to fill in those calories with lots of fruits and some nuts and stuff like that. I finally started to exercise again this past weekend, so we'll see what sort of damage I did to myself the past two weeks.

Hope everyone has a great week!
 
no loss, but I have gotten into a pretty good routine and all my clothes seem to be continually fitting better so I hope I'm building muscle and getting rid of fat. Eventually, that has to turn into actual pounds lost! That's the optimistic viewpoint. (Please don't burst my bubble!)

My weekend is busy, busy. I have 3 hockey games between today and tomorrow, tonight at 8:30PM, tomorrow at 8AM and 5:45PM. Sunday I am doing a 5K at 8:30AM and then might have another game, at 11:30AM. Sun afternoon I am collapsing!!

WDW trip is in 2 weeks! We will be there from Sept 10-20... 10-13 at CSR, 13-18 at BCV, and 18-20 back to CSR. 13-18 is a family trip, and the rest of the nights are for D and I to enjoy.
Wow!


I'm working on pics today (as usual) and hopefully going to the movies tonight to see 500 Days of Summer.
So are you basically working two full time jobs now?

Hope everyone has a successful week! I didn't do very well with my water today. I'm going to finish another bottle before I go to bed - keeps me from eating so much! And I'm going to do better tomorrow!


Gina!? How's it going?
 
Hi Everyone!
I'm still around. Just not doing much with the diet. Some of you may know that I injured my knee in June just when I was ready to join the gym. I bought Jillian Michaels 30 day Shred video worked out to it once and well lets just say the next day my knee was not so good. So after an MRI and seeing an Orthopedic surgeon I have very minimal torn cartilage in my knee but the swelling has been horrible! I have been in PT all summer and was not able to work out at all!

Good news is my knee feels 10 times better than what it did. ( I was able to go out for a walk yesterday) Plus I have been able to maintain my weight. I think after Labor Day I will join WW again I just received in the mail about a deal they have going on right now.

Have a great day everyone! Oh and I have to do this :banana: my kids are back to school today! :banana::woohoo::yay::cool1:
 

Hey Peeps! I have weighed in at 196.2. That's down from last week by about 2 lbs, but up from my last weigh in (AGES ago in June!) by about 2 lbs. Of course I had never lost all of my weight from my May WDW trip. So in order to get back to my lowest weight, I need to lose about 8 lbs, I think. Anyway, I'm ready to get rid of it, so let's see how it goes. I'm working on pics today (as usual) and hopefully going to the movies tonight to see 500 Days of Summer.



Hey Lauren! Our trips overlap again! Want to try for a meet again? We are at SSR from Dec 5th - Dec 13th.



I love caramel too! I'm gonna have to see if I can find these.

Yes let's meet up this time for sure

i will make my plan hopefully once the dec hours come out and I will let you know my schedule
 
Ack I haven't exercised regularly for about 3 weeks and I feel horrible. But, I finally convinced a friend to start training for a 5k with me. So every Wednesday after school we're getting together to go running. It should be fun, and hopefully I'll get back on track. :)

Hope everyone's doing okay!
 
I had to pop in and share my good news. My DSiL gifted our family with a sweet little boy today! She had a rough go of it keeping the little guy where he belonged earlier in the pregnancy but then he got so comfortable he overstayed his lease and they had to evict him today. (She had an enduced labor.)

Peepwise I've been doing pretty good. I've been maintaining my weight. I have little splurges every now and then but for the most part I really want to be OP so it really is a lot easier.

Good girl. That's great to get a friend to support you.

Somehow I missed your post. so sorry to hear about your knee. Good for you for keeping the weight stable despite being laid up. I just joined WW a week and a half ago, and it is going really well. Let me know what you think.

Are you doing the Momentum or Points plan? What is the difference?
 
Hi my peeps - I'm back again! My computer went :upsidedow and I couldn't get on for weeks and my mom has been sick (she has pancreatic cancer for those who don't know), well it spread so I wasn't really up to chatting and we also had to cancel our WDW trip for this year because of $$$$$ and my DH maybe not having a job - but as you can see by my ticker we're trying our plans again for next year. cross your fingers

Now for the peep in me - I did lose but I will wait until Friday to post that!

Starting also a walking thing for work (we count how many steps we do in a day, I don't know what the prize is but who cares it will get me to walk right?) then after that I'm going to start my C25K again now that the kids are back in school I can walk during the day, by myself and not have to stop to wait for them LOL

So are you basically working two full time jobs now?

I think that is a good sign! It sounds like you're doing great! :)

And yes, at this time, it is basically like I'm working two full time jobs. Three weddings this summer, senior pictures coming up, possibly some engagement photos. I've also been designing new business cards and brochures. Things will probably settle down a little with the actual editing of photos once I finish working on the photos from this third wedding.

Yes let's meet up this time for sure

i will make my plan hopefully once the dec hours come out and I will let you know my schedule

Sounds like a plan. I'll do the same. :)
 
Are you doing the Momentum or Points plan? What is the difference?
We didn't have a choice. It's Momentum, which means you track your points, but have to add in positive behaviors like eating whole grains, fruits and veggies, drinking your water, etc. It feels like the most I've had to eat on WW, I guess because of the emphasis on filling foods like those mentioned above.
I'm the kind who needs someone to mandate eating veggies, otherwise I'll get many of my calories in a day from sugar and fat.

Hey everyone just found a great new podcast for runners. Go to itunes and type podrunner in the search box. It's a collection of music for runners, it has the estimated BPM and they have around 75 so far. The music is very heart pumping for running and for general exercise. I'm downloading them all at the moment, but thought I'd share this with you all! If you google their website you can download the tracks there too.

Thanks! Now I just need an iPod LOL. I have an MP3 player and I still don't know how to use that.

Well guys I'm -1 from last week so that's a good start. I really missed all of you.:goodvibes
 
I went to WW this morning, and I'm down 2! I'm very happy with that. I brought dessert to my friends house last night - 100 calorie oreos crushed in the bottom of a bowl, 1/2 banana fried with no-stick spray and sprinkled with cinnamon, 1 TB chocolate syrup drizzled over it, and fat-free whipped cream on top. 4 pts and yummy.
 
Hey everyone, I went to target today and I found a T'ai chi kit (Gaiam) for $5 and a Timex Heart rate monitor (regular $70) for $20!!

I'm not sure if every target has them on sale, but I know the cashier said they were going to stop carrying the timex brand and wanted to get rid of them so you might want to check it out! He said that a professor had one of the same watches and loved it and when he heard they were going on sale he came and bought two more just in case. I haven't really tried it yet but from the reviews on amazon it's very reliable! I'll post tomorrow about the T'ai chi and the monitor both. Have a great evening!
 
Hi all! I overslept on Friday and didn't get to weigh in. I've had a lot going on this weekend so I know my weight will be off until next week.

I found out on Thurs that I'm going to be a very busy woman for the next 8 weeks or so. We finally got an approved contract on our house!!! :woohoo::cool1::yay::dance3: As long as all the inspections and the appraisal clear the bank, we're closing in the middle of Oct and moving at the end of the month! To get there, I have to pack my 2000+ sq ft house, I have a 40 mile breast cancer walk and our Reniassance Faire to get through. It's like we've been sitting in idle all summer and now we're hitting the gas.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday!
