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

[Wonders10]

This looks great I could be way off but this seems about a 1200 calorie day I think you may actually be able to eat a little bit more.

I added it all up using WW points and it came to 25 using the highest point lean cuisine . I am actually allowed 27 with the weight I'm at, but I know I usually slip an extra snack in here or there so I figure I'll definitely be eating enough.

i like my coffee sweet, as well, and i discovered something about a year ago that has allowed me to cut the sweetener out of my coffee. coffeemate makes a fat free creamer called vanilla chai and i can only find it at target. just with adding that creamer, it makes my coffee sweet enough and i don't need the sugar/splenda any more. just thought i'd pass that along in case you want to look for it and give it a try. if they don't have fat free vanilla chai but do have fat free cinnamon vanilla creme, that one is good, too!

Thanks for the tip. I've actually been using the peppermin mocha creamer (just 1 tbsp goes a long way). That may be sweet enough but I'm still going to try just using 1 this week and then nothing next week, except creamer).

I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred level one again today. It's probably the hardest workout I've ever done and this is only the second time I've been able to complete it. I went and saw a play last night and those actors are seriously in shape! It's definately a motivator. I'm hoping to do it everyday, I'm glad it is only 30 minutes, hopefully it'll get easier.

I also got a free pedometer and exercise dvd in the mail yesterday from tylenol. You can get on their website and sign up for their website and they'll send it to you free. The exercise video just shows you basic excercises like squats and stretches, but hey, it's free! The pedometer is plastic, but it actually works pretty well.

Interesting! I'll have to check that out.

Thanks!

Wow, I haven't been on the Peep thread for 2 weeks because of working overtime and computer problems, and I come back to nearly 10 pages. It is sooooooooooo good to "see" alot of the previous peeps and the new peeps as well.

I'm a SAMER this week but I really didn't have time to get much exercise in. I only work 2 days this week so I don't have any excuses. I will be a loser this week!

Hi,

I'm jumping into a few threads on the WISh boards...excited to find you. I've been on DISboards for awhile, but not here.

Hoping to get to know everyone over time.

Since it's Friday I'm at-1 this week

Super Quick background - down 11 pounds, have 96 to reach my goal...long journey ahead!

Cheers, Deb

Welcome

Hey you guys....

...mind if I join in here?

U2

hi! long time, no "see". i've missed you guys!!!

lauren contacted me on facebook and told me i needed to stop by because she was trying to get the peeps posting again. i said i'd be happy to!

to be quite honest, i don't think i'm in a place right now to join in with the weekly weigh-ins. i reached my goal of 130 pounds in january or february of 2008 (and i have to credit this thread with helping me with that!) and since then i've gained a little back. if i had to guess i'd say i weigh about 139 pounds right now. not horrible but not great, either. anyway, ray and i are trying to get preggers so dieting is not my number one priority right now. this is the first time i've been off the pill in 14 years and....holy moly....what my body is putting me through! i actually feel like exercising about 8 days out of the entire month. the other days i'm either having PMS, AF is here or i'm ovulating and don't feel good. it's crazy! i haven't completely fallen off the wagon and do try to exercise when i can. just not as regularly as i should. and as far as food i'm doing okay. not counting calories like i used to but i still try to be smart about what i eat for the most part.

anyway, it's great to "see" you guys! i'm excited to check back in when i can and see what you're up to and get to know the newer peeps i haven't met yet!

Good luck on the baby!!! Keep us posted!

It's great to "see" you here Dawn! I do hope we see you around here more often. Sounds like we're kind of in the same place. I also haven't been around here, I also have managed to gain back a few pounds, and I also have had other priorities (just like you ). Hope to see more of you.

????? Trying for a baby as well?????????? If so, Good Luck. If not, please forgive me!

Hello my friends - remember me

Most of you might know because of facebook but I wanted to tell you here for those who didn't know. My mom has been sick with pancreatic cancer since January '09 and on Oct 27th passed away peacefully while I was holding her hand. I need to come back here and get back on track because believe me it's not been an easy 10 months.

I am going to start exercising next week and then my eating as well. I will say one thing I have been good at was drinking my water so that's a plus right.

I didn't read the 10 pages that I was behind in but I'm back.

Laura- I'm so sorry. I wish I could give you a real hug.

You guys are great!

I can see how this is really going to be helpful in my journey. Although I'm not sure if I'm going to weight myself or not... I took a 'before' picture yesterday and I'm planning on taking a photo every week. I don't want to get too caught up in losing pounds - because some times you can see the progress before the scale recognizes it.
Maybe I'll weight myself every two weeks... or once a month... not sure.

I've cut out all sweets... cookies, candy, soda, etc. It's easier for me to completely cut them out then to try and eat these in moderation. I can't do it!! The longest I've ever been without sweets has been about 45 days... BUT after I have that first cookie or candy bar all bets are off!! I can't stop at just one & It's hard for me to go cold turkey for the second time.

But I still am planning on eating the occasional slice of pizza... is it really that bad? Should I cut out pizza too... (say it ain't so!!!)

Love Love Love Jillian Michaels. I love the 30 day shred dvd. I follow her on twitter and facebook she is currently working on a new kettleball, yoga, lower body and core dvds to be released in 2010

My favorite workouts of hers are the Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and No more trouble zones. when I do alternate them for 5 days during the week I notice a big difference when I am done. These workouts are tough and longer about 50 minutes

I also enjoy her Biggest winner dvds these are shorter but just as intense they are about 25 to 30 minutes long a piece.

Just popping in to say HI! Hope everyone had a great weekend.
The weather here was perfect! Spent alot of time outdoors!
Hope everyone has an amazing week!

I'm so glad this board is back up and running again!

I am recommitting to eating healthier and working out more. I've kept my weight relatively consistent, but am looking for a boost now that it's fall/winter season. I always seem to slack during this time of year - I think it's the lack on swimsuit motivation!

I definitely have room to up my exercise - both quantity and intensity. As far as food goes, I do pretty well, but I have started keeping track of everything I eat - including the calories, fat and fiber - just to keep me accountable. I'm with the other peeps who aren't going to eliminate something from their diet completely (I know I would fail eventually!), but just keep everything in moderation.

I'll try to post here more often! If anyone has recipes/food ideas, please share, and I'll do the same.

First *new* weigh in on Friday!

I'm going to do her workouts split up between the week. I'm trying to do something different everyday so I don't get bored. I asked for some workout videos for christmas, so hopefully I'll get some more of hers!

Yay! I'm finally a Dis Veteran! It's only taken 3+ years.

Congratulations!

I'm just thinking how all during winter I can get into great shape and when summer comes, I won't even have to work on looking good in a swimsuit!

Today was a wonderful day! It was a test of my willpower. I was out of school for a trip and ate breakfast at home, therefore I could be more full and not be tempted by the doughnuts. That's the first challenge I succeeded. The second came during a session, they handed out candy and although I took one, I found one that was dark chocolate! (Side note, that they also gave us a fun sized m&m bag, but I figured it was small, so why not treat myself a bit.) Third came at lunch time, there was a buffett and I ended up eating two small bowls of salad and a bit of an apple. (It wasn't cold like I'm used to so it was pretty gross.) Fourth was on our way home we stopped at starbucks and as much as I wanted to have a great cup of double chocolate chip frappechino, I stayed on the bus and didn't get one!

Fifth was at home, I ate brown rice and gravy with grilled chicken, and I just finished my first workout of the first week of the couch to 5k program. (I started it once before but never got very far!) Then finally was my 6th just a bit ago a family member offered to pick me up a few crab rangoons at the chinese resturant and I said no.

I'm so happy right now, I didn't know if I could do it, and I did!
Also, I'm very proud that my grandma has been off her soda for 2.5 weeks and my aunt stopped drinking hers Friday!
Now I'm off to do some yoga to cool down and take a shower so I can work on some homework.

I hope you all had as great of day as I did.

Great Job with the willpower!! I visited the bakery that I used to work at (I'm just working there a few days a month now). They offered me some new bread pudding to try. I told them no, and they looked at me like I was crazy!!

Everything I was doing this last week was worth it!!! I'm down -4 Thanks for all the people who suggested I weight myself!! Now I know I'm making progress!!!

I also took a picture last Wednesday and today... there not pretty... but I know you guys won't make fun... right??

I guess I got taller in the second pic. too!! I am taking the pictures myself in the kitchen... so I don't have all the kinks worked out yet. But I see a little bit of change!!!
In the picture I am wearing the outfit I plan on wearing in the 5k. (hopefully!)

My DH won't notice change until I have lost 20lbs so it's fun to do it this way so that I can see the little changes.

For a great diet friendly dessert, I like to cut pears in half, pour apple cider over them, sprinkle with cinnamon and a tiny bit of nutmeg and then bake for 1/2 hour or 45 minutes until soft. I top my family's with ice cream and just eat my pear plain. They are delicious and SO easy. My 10 year old begs me make them all the time

Great progress everyone and great job resisting temptation. My mom was here over the weekend and my husband surprised me one day with flowers and champagne (tho I didn't eat the flowers) and also a bottle of my favoirite red. Mom and I had lunch one day while she was here and we had mojitos. Gosh I sound like a lush. . Anyway, I've been a little bit bad but I'm back on track and I did an hour on my rowing machine yesterday after a long hiatus. My birthday week threw me and then sort of morphed into my birthday month. Funny how that happens.
