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

[LMO429]

So I tracked everything I ate on TG, and didn't do too badly. However, the next day I went to a party for a friend whose family was on Family Feud, and it was supposed to be a BBQ, so I was planning on eating chicken. It started pouring, and we ended up just eating all the snacky leftovers people brought. There was a bowl of chocolate covered pomegranate, and cheese with horseradish, and I was hungry, and it was a disaster. I had to weigh in at WW the next morning, and I was up 4.2 lbs! What the heck? Anyway, I'm working out every day, and hoping that it all comes off this week. It can't be a real gain of that much, can it?

There is no way you gained 4.2 overnight. It is most likely all water weight!

Natale- I'm not sure, they just told me that we wouldn't start getting dress sizes until after Christmas since the wedding is this summer. But the girl getting married is in college for interior design so I'm sure she has good taste!

I absolutely love cheerios. They were yogurt burst and they were delicious.

Good job for thanksgiving! I had pizza this week too, but it was really good!

Did my C25K today. Do you guys do 30 minutes or just 20? Do you count the 5 minute warmup walk as 5 out of 20 or not? I always counted the 5 minutes and then I'd do the running part until 25 minutes and then do another 5 minute walk for a cooldown. And what speed do you guys run? Actually today I decided I'd slow down the speed of the treadmill by .3 or so and it made everything SO much easier. I think maybe I can move on to week 2 if I slow down the speed a little, maybe I'm going too fast too soon. I think I used to run around 6mph for a minute until I turned it down a bit today.

Oh yes, another question. Does anybody get really bad cramps in their foot? Last night I was going tae bo and I'm not sure if it was childs pose or something else, but my right foot just cramped up really bad (Kind of like a charlie horse in your calf). It's happened a few times before and I know moving it a certain way can trigger it, but I'm not sure if it's because my foot is very tense, or if I don't stretch it enough. (How do you stretch your foot anyway?)

I read somewhere once you can get a softball and roll your foot along it in order to stretch it out and well as point and flex. I dont know if they work it was just something I read. Maybe take some advils on the days you work out very hard might help as well.

There is no way that was a real gain! It is probably water weight, especially because it sounds like most of what you ate was salty too. Try not to beat yourself up over it too much and just get back on track

I include the 5min warm up and cool down in my 30 minutes. Although most time I end up spending 35+ minutes on the treadmill.

NO WAY did you gain a real 4.2 lbs. Your just going to have a big loss next week when you weigh in!!!

weighed in after the long holiday weekend and....

-.5

I was happy with this. I ate a fair amount this weekend, but I was also active all weekend. A LOT of walking. I was on my feet most of every day. a lot of swimming too.

and, one of the times swimming, i decided to clip my pedometer on for the walk to the pool in our hotel..and guess what i forgot to do before i jumped in....

RIP pedometer. replacement will be here in 7-10 days. i feel naked without it.

 

[mousehouselover]

Nat~ You are making amazing progress, you look great in your pictures!

Brewcrew~That's too bad abotu the pedometer. It stinks when you do something like that without thinking.

Jen~ I looked at your cakes today, you do a wonderful job!

I'm just hanging out and getting things put away in the new house. I have a job interview set up for Wed. It's a formality, they were waiting for an opening so I could be hired. My time off will be coming to an end soon so I have to get as much done as I can.

 

[::Snow_White::]

dwheatl - I definately don't think it's that much! Hope it all comes off this week!

brewcrew - oh my! Sorry about your pedometer. Hope your new one gets here soon.

I did it! I did the first day of week 2 on the C25K! I ran yesterday, but today was such a great day all around that I felt like I had to do it today. It was good for me to be in a better mood before I attempted it and I'm proud to say I was at a minute and thinking "Wow, I only have 30 seconds left, this isn't as bad as I thought." It got tough at the end, but not any less tough as it was with the 10 seconds left on the minute I did last time.

Tomorrow I have some school things so it's my day off with some friends. Looking forward to it!

Hope you all have a wonderful night!

Can I join? I lost about 25 pounds this spring and summer, and am struggling to keep it off. All of the holiday stuff and the gloomy long nights makes it hard.

Welcome to the Peeps. Congrats on your loss. This is a great place for support in keeping it off.

Congrats on the house! I think I read in another post that you are close to the Main Gate? Or something like that. Does this mean WDW?

Have fun with your friends! Great job on the C25k! Small steps at a time!

I copied and pasted the rules of the thread from our thread creator Utah Momma. How is she by the way?

Here you go! Good luck!

The Rules?

Not really ANY rules, but we DO weigh on Fridays. IF you are weighed on a different day than Fridays (for Weight Watchers for example) just post the results on Fridays anyway.

Don't post your weight (unless YOU want to) just the amount you lost (or gained). Also, please bold the number in some way so I don't miss it for my spread sheet. The BIG and RED version seems to be popular....

-5.4 pounds

If you didn't lose or gain, we call it being a "SAMER" (which is better than being a "gainer", IMHO)

Along the way we have mini-goals hosted by our very own thread-dude, Aaron (aka WIDisneyfan or WIDF)

If you are just starting, we encourage you to take your weight number and measurements for progress purposes. These numbers are for your eyes only unless you WANT to share with us. Some people feel "accountability" is helpful.

But it's all up to you. Pick a diet or even just do your own thing, making good healthy choices for you.

We can help as several on this thread are at goal or nearing there.

You can post as often as you want, don't be afraid of being a "thread hog" (funny!). Sometimes the posts are food-trigger related so it helps just to say: "UGH! Someone brought a plate of cookies to work! Give me strength!" (for example).

This is a safe place and we don't bring each other down. We cheer even the littlest baby steps towards being healthy


Have a great day everyone! Eat healthy!

Kayla~ Good job on the running. I tried doing the C25K and quit after a few weeks. I got shin splints so I gave up on running.

Dannielle~ (don't know how I missed you last night ) I agree with everyone else; it's probably just from eating salty snack things.

redlight~ Welcome!! Glad to have you with us. It takes work to keep the weight off, especially during this time of year.

loveall~ Yes, I am 30ish mins from WDW. I love being here! There's something really decadant about being able to run to the parks if we feel like it.

That's my ultimate dream! My DH thinks I'm nuts but I would love to work there too!

 

[redlight]

Thanks for the welcomes everyone. I had been weighing on Mondays, but I haven't been lately (oh boy!) so I can switch to Fridays.

I'm going to try to get a run in and then think about dinner, which will likely be a salad.

 

[mousehouselover]

That's my ultimate dream! My DH thinks I'm nuts but I would love to work there too!

Well, that's my dream too, which is why we chose to move to Central FL. I've put in my application for WDW so now it's a waiting game. Until I hear from them, I'm going back to work for my previous employer and working on some things on the side. DH dubbed himself an honorary Dream Team member and started making my dreams come true. DVC, AP, my birthday and our 10th anniversary in WDW and now a house 30 mins away from my happy place. The only wish he can't grant is the job. that man most days.

We spent the day with my parents who are on vacation in Cocoa Beach. The kids got to romp in the ocean for about 3 hrs and loved it.

 

[lovealldisney]

Well I weighed in last night and was pleasantly surprised! I am down -2lbs! I thought for sure I at the most stayed the same! Very happy with that! I am now down a total of 11.4lbs.

Hey Aaron how about a Christmas challenge??

 

[natale1980]

I'm -1.5
Better then nothing... I'll take it.

Not really that different from last week...
So I decided now that I have a general idea about what to eat. I'm not going to count my calories for a week and see how that goes. I'm thinking that way I won't be as obsessed about my calories and maybe I'll eat what I should be eating and not be under my calories every day.
We'll see how it goes.

Gotta go visit my treadmill!

nice work!

 

[redlight]

Nat, 1.5 pound loss in a week is excellent especially since you don't have much to lose.

I am having a salad with salmon for dinner!

 

[LMO429]

GREAT WORK NAT!

 

[natale1980]

Thanks everyone.
My current weight is 176.6 so I still have about 15-20lbs to go. My first goal is 175, so I'm very excited that I'm almost there.

yummm....salad & salmon! I had chicken, rice & salsa (better then it sounds.)
