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

[dwheatl]

Congrats on the engagement, Renee! I hear you on the end of the year goodies. We had our party at BJ's on Thursday, then an ice cream sundae party on Friday. I've also had a few friends want to get together (more food), and my mom's 82 birthday celebration (2 days of food).
I have been tracking everything w/ WW etools, and I haven't gone over, but I had used every one of my 35 extra points, plus some activity points, this past week. This meant my weight was up a little today at weigh-in, up .6. That is much better than I have done in years past, though.

Thank you. You are so good, tracking everything. I just gave up for 2 weeks. I would write everything I ate down though, just to have the food journal part of it. .6 is nothing...water weight, probably. I really need to get back into it. Part of my problem is that I tend to use my extra points on the weekends, but Chad is off Thurs & Fri, so now I want to switch that to the days I use my extra points, so it just takes some shuffling as far as planning meals and such. I also had a work out schedule and I need to shuffle that a bit too...want to get in more work outs now that I am at home every day and sitting around more.

Nice to see this thread pick up a bit!!!

Congrats on the engagement!

I do well during the week and then the weekends bite me in the behind. Like today, for example!!

I wish working out alone would take the weight off, because I am fine with that!!

Somehow I've caught the running bug, since training for the Princess half in March (and dropping 30 lbs in the process!). I joined a training group that does 7AM runs on Saturdays. Today's was 4 miles. I also signed up for a RockNRoll half marathon on Aug 1 in Chicago.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop in and say hi. My mom was in the hospital this week, so things have been a litte crazy. She had a melanoma removed and skin graft done, and we brought her home to our house today so we can help her out. Also, we picked a name for the baby boy in my belly - Avery Daniel. I posted on facebook, but I know not everyone here is on there. Anyway, hope everyone is doing great.

Thank you! Like you, I am good during the week and not so good on the weekends. Good for you on the running. I am hoping this tennis thing sparks things for me!

Lynda - Hope everything goes well with your mom. Cool name!

Well, I finally decided to get on the scale...I am +0.8 since I weighed last on May 31 I think. Which isn't bad considering I have been completely off schedule with working out, and haven't really followed the diet plan very well either. Just got back from a 2 day, 1 night trip to Tybee to tie up loose ends with the wedding and, of course, splurged on eating while there. Also, Mother Nature is in town. So with all that going on, I feel pretty good as to where I am.

Hi Everyone!

Been MIA for awhile, congrats to our soon to be moms out there!!
There is no harder most worth while job out there! I hope you love every moment of it because it goes by so fast! My two babies are 17 and 14 now and I sometimes look at them and just wonder how did the grow up so fast! I was looking at my DS's year book yesterday and had to put it away I started crying! I am having a hard time with him being a senior next year and him turning 18! I think I will have a harder time with him leaving than my DD. I know that sounds weird but my son and I have an unsusual bond that I just can't describe. Not that I don't have a bond with my DD, that is something totally differant and unique in itself. Maybe because my DS is such a mommies boy??? Any who I am rambling way to much!

As for weight loss, I am still on WW but I have hit a plateu! It's fustrating! So now I have ramped up the exercise, only time will tell if the scale shall move!! Have a great day everyone!

Hi. I'm finally on facebook but I don't remember the name of the group to send a friend request too. There is a facebook for the disappearing peeps.....right? Can you help me out or am I just crazy & there is no such thing? Thanks.

Fran - It's called DIS Peeps. Here's the link - http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=31095929027
The bad news is, nobody has posted there for over a year. You can still find all of our friends though, I think.

Thanks for fielding that one for me Danielle! And you're right. Not a lot going on there. I haven't had a lot of time to liven things up over there lately, I'm afraid. But it is a good way to find other Peeps.

So, I think I'll go back to posting losses here, since I'm actually losing a little. I was down .4 this week. I was pretty happy because we had a lot of food related stuff going on. We went to Reno, and I wasn't planning on hitting a buffet, but it was $8.99 at El Dorado, and a sandwich or whatever by itself was more than that. I tried to eat a lot of filling vegetables, but I did have 2 desserts. I left half of one, and made sure to work out every day at the hotel.
And, I don't think I posted this here, but I actually bought a bikini for this summer. It's 1 size bigger than what I usually wear, so I don't have to constantly tug to have my bum covered. I figure my waist is probably my best asset figure-wise, and a one-piece doesn't cover my trouble areas any better than a bikini, so what the heck. I won't be posting a photo, though.

Hope everyone is well. I decided I better start coming here regularly or things will go out of control! I went to the Doctor about a month ago and found our I've gained about 12 pounds since last summer! That was a real bummer for me since I was always good at maintaining so I'm back to watching everything. It wasn't that big of a suprise since I hadn't exercised regularly for months. But, now I'm back to it and enjoying it, I'll probably weigh myself tomorrow morning and start from there. Thank goodness it's summer so I can exercise whenever I want but now I have temptations all over the house. I want to shed most of this before our disney trip, but I already feel like I lost a few and my clothes are back to fitting pretty well. Life is just full of ups and downs!

Have a wonderful day!

welcome back. I am in the same predicament. I gained 10 pounds since last summer as well. I am currently working on losing it for my october 2010 disney trip. 101 days to go! and I WILL LOSE IT!

 

[HockeyKat]

Welcome back!

So happy to see this thread moving again.

I was 187 even this morning, which is 31.8 down from early Jan. I had hoped to be further along by now, but I am still working on it!

Next hurdle is a half marathon in Chicago on Aug 1. I am hoping to finish in under 3 hours (the Princess half was 3:11).

Hi everyone! Just popping in to see how everyone is doing. I'm doing pretty good. A few weeks ago I dipped below 160 for the first time since November 2008, when I was about 156. I weighed in at 159.4 a few weeks ago, and last Friday despite attending a wedding rehearsal and reception (lots of food and drink both nights) the weekend before, I was 159.8. I started the year hovering around 167, so it is coming off slowly but surely. My 5-year wedding anniversary is the end of August, and we are going to Wisconsin Dells ("The Waterpark Capitol of the World") to celebrate. My short term goal is to be 155 for that trip -- which would be about 60 pounds less than I weighed when we got married. And we are discussing a September 2011 trip to Disney World, so my ultimate goal is to be 145 by that time. That would give me 15 months to lose 15 pounds. That'll be a stretch, but we'll see what I can do.

I'm starting to price out bikes. Bad genes and too many years carrying around too much weight have left me with sore knees and a bad hip. My doc told me to cut out high impact aerobic exercies like jogging and lunges/squats. I haven't been on a bike since I was a pre-teen 20+ years ago, but it is a great low impact, high calorie burn exercise. So I'm going to give it a shot.

Catch you all later!

I lost a pound the hard way last night. I got the chicken apple salad from Maggiano's, which was fine, but when I ate the leftovers, oh Lordy! I was praying to the porcelain god until about midnight.
Makes me think of The Devil Wears Prada - "I'm just a stomach flu away from my goal weight."

Hi Laura. Glad to see you!
