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

[HockeyKat]

I notice such a huge difference when I eat clean myself. I re-joined ww online it seems to be the only thing that works for me. going to be in florida in 4 months would love to lose 15 pounds by then

I have never tried WW. I tend to not want to spend money on weight-loss programs, not sure why... I will definitely spend money on exercise/fitness stuff!!

So far I have lost about 9 lbs in the last 11 days, but a good portion of that is likely water weight. I have probably 60 to go (again, sigh), too, which makes the first bit come off a bit easier.


I have to admit, sometimes this thread sort of depresses me as I have been on here for a looooong time and don't ever seem to make lasting forward progress.

NS is great...some of the meals are gross but most are pretty good. When I'm really following it to a tee, I feel amazing. I'm not hungry, I'm satisfied when I eat, and I'm practically giddy. I even have been exercising more...walking and yoga. Definitely something I will be sticking with.

The cruise was amazing! It was not Disney, but on the Oasis of the Seas, the biggest ship in the world. Probably one of the best cruises I've been on...wish I was still on the ship!

Kat...I feel like that too about this thread. Like I'm posting the same things over and over but never actually following through or showing progress.

I understand how you feel as well..I feel like my life is a constant hamster wheel of gaining and losing weight over and over and over again. But I do not intend on giving up. I figure if I keep trying one of these days I WILL get it right. I think the key is there is no perfect solution, some days are going to be good and others bad but consistency is key and if you slip here and there no biggie just get back on the hamster wheel...my problem is when i get off the wheel i really get off..need to lose my all or nothing attitude..got to keep telling myself there is no thing as perfection or an ideal weight to be happy.

I am so with you on the all or nothing! It's one trait that I would sure change if I could.

One big win for me is that I haven't let the exercise/fitness thing go even with the weight gain. I am still with my running group and still averaging 10-16 miles a week, and have done 2 half marathons this year (5 total since Mar 2010).

So, I may be fat, but at least I'm fairly fit!

I feel the same way. I just have to remind myself that once upon a time, I weighed much more than I do now, so even though I am somewhat overweight now, if I give up, I know where I'll end up. I also think we are all good cheerleaders for each other.

No, bought the DVD a few years ago.

Bleh! I gained weight this school year, and have not begun to take it off. I did go to the gym this morning, I am going to log all my food today, and I'm posting here instead of hiding. That's a start, right?

Do you have an IPhone? I got this cool app (Mynetdiary) that you can actually scan bar codes off of food packages, and it logs it in for you, it has really helped me keep track of things!

No, my sad old phone is just a phone. I use WW online to track. Thanks for the reminder, though. I need to finish tonight's tracking.

I am due for a new contract in late july. I would like to get an iphone, love all the apps for them. That app sounds amazing.

what sort of chat features are there on an iphone..I currently have a blackberry and love the bbm feature.

 

[HockeyKat]

I have an Android phone, mostly because it was the free phone and I don't pay unless I have to.

What kind of chat are you looking for? With both Android and iPhone, there are tons and tons of app options, so you can usually find what you want.

I use meebo for IM which is a multi-chat client and will do FB, AIM, yahoo, etc. Actually, I use it for the PC too at work since it doesn't require installing anything.

ha ha! i think that sometimes too when I am the last one to post. How are you feeling?

Feeling pretty good. At my May doc appt, I got scolded for weight gain, but this last time I went I had only gained 3 lbs b/c I was working out about 5 times a week, low-impact aerobics, prenatal pilates, and water aerobics. So this time, I got praised...lol! But since my appt (this past Tuesday) I have been kind of bad, only working out twice and eating not so great. I have been feeling a little sluggish and uncomfortable probably b/c of the eating and not working out! I have to get back on the program!

However, today is our first anniversary! So we had breakfast out and some of our wedding cake that I defrosted!

 

[ArielSRL]

I realized I never saw this post!! I was somewhere to the north of the city, but I had no car so meeting up would have been difficult!

I may actually be in Atlanta again in a few weeks, though.

Btw, I am here! I managed to put back on most of the 15 lbs I had taken off, with all the stress, but I am working on getting them back off again.

DH and I have gone "clean" with our diet over the last 10 days - no processed foods, flour, sugar, etc. It's sort of a two week cleanse/detox/jumpstart, and seems to be working pretty well.

Glad to see the thread picking up again!!

No problem about not seeing the post. And good luck with the cleanse!

I love my Leslie Sansone DVDs!! I still do mine now, while preggo, just modify it to low impact.

I absolutely love my iPhone! I actually dropped and broke mine on Thursday (it was a horrible, hormonal pregnant day) but I had wanted to upgrade to a newer version anyway, so the hubs got me one for our anniversary. I don't do a lot of chatting so not sure what it has in that dept but honestly, there is an app for everything (many of them free) so I'm sure it has something for you. Probably best to go talk to someone at the Apple store or else your provider (I have AT&T and love them but you can also go Verizon). They'd probably know best about the features.

Sorry, don't know about chat features....but with all the other amazing apps, I can't imagine them not having something to meet your needs!

I have Verizon, I really do not have a problem with my blackberry but it seems I am really missing out by not having an iphone.

We went to great adventure yesterday, I knew I was not in disney when there was no one on line to take pictures with Daffy Duck Could you imagine going to a disney park and donald just waiting there for people to come take pictures with him

Happy anniversary. It sounds like you are doing great.

Thanks!!

I had a few Blackberries before switching to iPhone and I loved them. But I have to say, I find the iPhone far superior.
