Dont mind me - I'm obsessing!!
OK so if Bee and Sandy are back in January I'm back too! Another original peep here! I had probably lost about 25 or 30, but now an mack where I started 3 years ago...guess it's better than a gain! I feel like such a slug. We used to have so much fun here and I would love to start again...but I am gong to make next Friday, January 1st my first new weigh in. I'd love to start seeing ribbons in my signature again!
I hear that -
Hey Sandy and PD. I'll be looking for you in January. Don't make me hunt y'all down.
I've stayed in touch here all along, but haven't always been the most dedicated peep. I think I have a net loss of about 2 lbs. Again, better than a gain.
Snow White - That you're able to keep up a routine during the holidays is great. So many people just totally put it on hold until January.
Sometimes I need "Hunting down" Not sure why I "hide"? What am I afraid of? Lots of stuff. Mainly failing. I hate that.
Another original Peep.... peeking in
I'm looking to gain some control over my life and I did so well when I was with you guys.
For an update....
Weight loss/gain.... well lets just not think about it and start over.
Life..... Still crazy from time to time (happy pills are a good thing
). Still working nights. My son moved out on his own. My daughters are 18 and 13 and the grandbaby will be 1 in January. DD1 is in college and working. DD2 is in the throws of teenagerness and still dancing. And that Grandbaby that I was so worried about- well, yes she has changed my life.... and I just love that little precious.
New exercise routine.... chasing after a baby.... no wonder I was so thin in my 20's LOL! Nanna's tired!
Hey SnowWhite..... did you get the Harry Potter Half Blood Prince DVD? Cant wait for the next movie can you?
I read back a few pages and it was good to see some familiar names and some new Peeps too. Tell me what C25K is. A girl I work with has lose about 70 pounds doing the 7 day diet... its a book... Anybody heard of this or done it?
One last thing....
Any of you DVC members that want to rent some points?
a new baby to chase!! AW!! We arent getting the HP movie till we get back from Disney!
Hi Peeps!!!
It's so amazing that everyone is coming back! Welcome back to new and old members! I know once Jan 1 rolls around this thread will be very active again.
I am like so many of you once I stray away from this thread my weight goes up! This really is a great place for support.
I for one can not wait for the new year to get here I have just about had it with the holiday eating and ready to feel healthy again!
I know I have to do better - to want it bad enough to stay away from the fat, sugar
I'm new
I've been doing the C25K
http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml It's an awesome program that gets you off the couch and ready for a 5k in about 9 weeks.
Best Program Ever! It seems hard a first, but before you know it your body is much stronger then it was and you feel like you can complete a 5k no problem! I can't wait until I run the 5k in Epcot in January.
We are DVC members but we don't have many points left. How many did you need?
Great Job!!!
I told you it gets easier!! And soon you'll get faster too!! I started looking at my speed on my treadmill and I am finally doing what you were! I'm running at 5 - 5.5 speed. I remember when 3.2 felt fast, now that is how I warm up!
I bet it's mostly water weight. Don't get discouraged. I'm kinda afraid to weigh myself on Wednesday.
When I get on the scale, I'm just going to repeat in my head 'water weight, water weight'
Sandy321 - I just wanted to let you know that I read your past TR and am reading your PTR. You have inspired me to do the 1/2 next year!!
Thanks!
You guys are great! I love being able to come here every day and 'talk' to you all. I also want to thank you for welcoming us newbies.

nat Thanks for reading. I thought from all the lessons in '08 I'd be right there for this trip - but that fear and an injury has me obsessing again! I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to mile 10 before being swept!
I will say it is because of this thread I signed up in '08 and did the C25K - and I joined several races back then - now, not so much.
So dh asked if I'd be willing to train for Half in '11
Sparkie!!!!! I can't believe the baby is almost one already! I'm glad all is well and I just knew that baby would be the apple of your eye!
Sparkie!!
I bought a cookbook today.... weight watchers top menu....
Now all I have to do is cook
Bee I remember a show, or a book about cooking on the weekends, putting it in freezer bags for the week - like cook a whole lot of chicken breasts - then individually wrap them - I know on the Biggest Loser they say to get those small snack size zip locks - fill with veggies to grab and go with...
Peeking back in as well...
Hi everyone and I hope I can join back? I am Kat, 34 (as of last week), married with no kids.
I have been a very bad peep this year, and gained back most if not all of the weight that I lost 3 years back. So, I am facing down 40-60 lbs to lose. Sigh.
I joined Gold's Gym today with a friend and we have committed to lunchtime workouts, plus I will be playing ice hockey 3 times a week (up from the once a week from the fall), and I am going to do the Princess 1/2 in March with some folks from a different thread. I need to start training NOW...
I might! PM me. I would be looking to either transfer (I am a member too) or rent for sometime in April.
Kat! CONgrats on getting back to Hockey - and a lunch time gym that will help!! You are inspiring!! The Princess Half sounds like fun!! Good Luck!
My hip is healing!! Thanks to the Chiropractor and glucosomine, Aleve, and a gel I'm rubbing on my joints... (advertised on radio, and sold at Walgreens)
Less than 1 week - its very scary - DH lost his job - but we had most of this paid for (staying BCV, ) In my pre trip report I've talked about how DS#2 had a head injury last Jan - and what a miracle - he's 110% better (at one point not sure if he'd survive, or walk, or be able to read, or remember..) and the social worker urged dh and I to make a goal - Disney was our goal...
Praying for NO RAIN on the 9th and 10th (we have to get on the bus between 2AM and 3AM - race start is 5:40 am! ) and praying I dont get swept. Mentally Mile 10 is the hardest - getting into MK is a thrill, so adreneline gets me there - but out of the MK? OMG - that is far! and a bus pulls onto the road at mile 10 at a certain time - if you cant make it, you are "swept" onto the bus and driven to the finish line... I dont want to be there! and I dont want to use this stupid pain in the hip as an excuse!
Peeps Thanks for continuing to have a warm inviting place to come to!!
That is the heaviest I've ever been except the 2 times that I was pregnant. So I'm starting anew and have a good friend that will be working out with me. Good luck to all and I'm predicting that everyone will have pretty numbers next week. 
Sorry to hear about the job loss. Hopefully he'll find something before things get rough for y'all. This is life, it's not pass or fail; it's living to the best of your ability. You don't need to be afraid of letting us know when things are tough as we all have our struggles. Good luck with the run! Is your DD coming with you this year?
