Just wanted to quickly announce that I lost five pounds overnight when Aunt Flow came to visit!! BOUT TIME!!

[pigget74]

I'm new here, (not to the DIS, just the Wish board,) and am trying to lose weight. I would love to be able to get back down to a size 12. I'm a size 16 right now, so while I'm not horribly obese, I do want to lose some weight.

Welcome!!


Melinda and Monica---thinking of you both today

morning Peeps. It is the start of another week and I am really trying to stick with it. I packed a bag of healthy snacks (dried apricots,quakes,an orange and a banana)just in case I get the hungry horrors at work.ever since I started working in cubicle hell I get so hungry during the day! I think it is from stress! I hope I can check in later.The black screen of death is now half of my monitor and the crack is diagpnal completely across.Makes reading interesting!I keep dragging everything over to see it. I ordered a new laptop but they are out of stock for 2 whole weeks
I will lose weight,I will lose weight, I think I can,I think I can,,,,,what was the name of that stupid book anyway lol

Morning Peeps! I really havent read much this weekend so I have to catch up!

I did one of the Jillian Michael workouts last night! It was a cardio kickboxing and it was 30 minutes long. at the end of it ...I yelled at the tv and said ..."U....&$%^!!!! It def was a hard workout quick and effective...i have not done the other 4 yet but i probably will get to it this week.


I'm posting my measurements this week so we can see if on May 14 when I go to Disney if they have gone down considerably. I like to take my measurements because sometimes when the scale doesnt budge the measurements do so its another good way to measure your progress.

Bust 38
Waist 30
Hips 40.5
Inner Left 23.75
Inner Right 23.50
Arms were a little under 11



hope everyone had a great weekend!

Morning. Thanks for the hugs.

Melinda, thinking of you too.

The sun is coming up and the sky looks pink.

Which is casting a pink tint on the snow. Very unusual and pretty.

Good luck everyone. Another week of getting skinny ahead of us.

The sun is coming up and the sky looks pink.

It's an unusually beautiful morning here too. I'll be thinking of you too.

Thanks so much for the kind words, everyone.

HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

Monica and Melinda - Thinking of you today as you lay your loved ones to rest.

and now that dratted MickeyD's is offering Sweet Tea here, in the NORTH!! I just know I'm going to have to do a taste test!! Most places do NOT know how to do iced tea btw - and I forgot to mention the bottled teas you get have an off taste - its because you cannot keep brewed tea overnight - it gets stronger - so in order to stop that they add citric acid, which for me is an "off taste" Lipton is trying real hard to make a brewed tea for me to purchase in a bottle, they are close - just not quite there!!

its the syrup - YUCK - you have to brew tea to get iced tea!! or Sun Tea is ok too... *duh!!

Do you have Milo's tea up there? It is in a gallon jug in the 'frigerated section. I think it is the best bottled tea around! It also comes in single serving jars too. Look for it, I think you'd like it.

Monica (my brain wasnt functioning well last night!)

TootSweet WOOHOOTY!!

MUST conquer the laundry monster - heading to the laundramat!

(I feel as if I'm following Melinda and ali around!! )
Ali, I've not heard that brand, ds is enjoying "Arizona Tea" blech!!

DONT forget the WATER INTAKE today PEEPS!!

 

[MA pigletfan]

Monica and Melinda ... ..sorry for the belated-ness

Funny, I feel like I am following you around.

It must be a Southern thing. It is the best tea I've found.

Wow, what a chatty group! I'd say we are breaking in the new thread just fine.

But what a rough weekend for the Peeps. Hugs to those who lost love ones, be they human or pet. I can't relate to losing a pet, as my current dog is the first non-goldfish pet I've ever owned. However, I'm sure I'll be devastated when she is gone (hopefully not for a very long time). But I can relate to losing a grandparent that I was close to. My grandma will have been gone 7 years this Friday. She was like a 2nd mother to me, and to this day I tell my wife and friends stories about her. My favorite one happened when she was about 80 years old (she died a month short of her 88th birthday). She was driving through a part of town that was notorious for being a speed trap. The speed limit was 35, and according to her she wasn't going any faster than 37. I don't know if the cop just wanted to hassle an old lady or what, but he pulled her over for going 2 over. When he stopped her, he told her that while he couldn't write her a ticket he would give her a warning. He explained that she didn't have to do anything with it, and that she could rip it up when she got home. Apparently she didn't hear the "when you get home" part, and ripped it to shreds as soon as he handed it to her. But being the feisty woman that she is, she made the following statement about her not wearing a seat belt - "You probably noticed that I'm not wearing a seat belt. Well, you can go ahead and write me a ticket if you want, but I'm not going to strap myself in to this death machine". I think the cop realized that nothing was going to change this woman, and just turned around and left without issuing her that ticket.

Have a good day everyone!

Happy Monday Peeps,

Geeze, I have got to find time to get here over the weekend. It is going to take me forever to catch up.

Melinda I did see that your grandfather passed away and I am very sorry. I am glad you can find peace in knowing that he is with God and without pain.

All is well here. I am down 1 lb but didn't weigh until Sunday. AF is visiting and reeking havoc on the scale. I hope to see a big number this Friday.

Ok, I am off to read up on all of you.

Have a great day!!!

Good morning!

I was horrible last night. I ate a three-serving bag of Sun Chips, (400 calories,) and then a doughnut once I got home, (230 calories.) I did have a salad for dinner, (150 calories,) so I was good about that, but not much else. That was a total of 2145 calories today, when I was aiming for 1,800. Oops!

I'm doing my grocery shopping today, and I'm going to try and stay away from processed foods. I do have a list, I just have to stick to it.

 

[UtahMama]

The beloved President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Gordon B. Hinkley, passed away last night of "old age". It's the ONLY story on the news besides weather. In a way I'm happy for him because his wife died in 2004 and we believe them to be together again...they were so cute together. I know there's a couple LDS besides me, and I don't know if this news has made it nation wide yet. But, he will definitely be missed. He was a good man to say the least.

AND


The Bishop of my ward (like a Pastor or Reverend) has bone and blood cancer.

Hey there, peeps!! Nice new digs!

Sorry I have not arrived before. I did receive the PM, but there was a PMing frenzy going on that day and I had to clean out my PM box cause it was full, and then I deleted a bunch of stuff that I should have saved, including this link! Thanks to Mo for sending it to me again!

I have switched from Atkins now! I only planned on staying on it for a month, and I have finished the month. Now I am doing my own thing, but it is sort of south Beach-ish. I am trying to keep my calories down and still not eat any sugar. I bought some sugar free fudgecicles to satisfy the chocolate beastie inside!


Hope everyone else is doing well. I have not lost any weight this week, in fact I was up a couple pounds but I think I am PMSing. At least I hope so! Plus I had not been drinking as much water as I was before. But today I made sure to drink a lot. Hoping for good things this Friday weigh-in!

I got the Atkins book and am doing induction this next two weeks to the letter (excpet for my morning diet Pepsi, of course).

Yay on the magical 5 pounds! I still have PMS (all month ) but no Aunt Flo, thank you!

The last time I had magical weight loss, the batteries on my scale needed replacing so I'm jealous and happy for ya!

sugar! i was raised in a house where you blended in sugar immediately after you brewed the tea so it would dissolve well. because i grew up with tea made this way, i can definitely taste the difference between tea that's sweetened while hot with sugar (w/ ice added later) and tea that's been sweetened with splenda (or another sugar substitute) after it's cooled down. also, in the south (except for in florida....who knows why!) most restaurants offer sweet tea and unsweetened tea. from working in restaurants through college, i know that we'd take an entire pitcher of sugar and stir it into the tea urn (one of those big round metal ones) before the cold water was added so it would dissolve well. yes, an ENTIRE PITCHER OF SUGAR.

not that i have anything against splenda and the like. i was just raised on that all-sugar sweet tea and it's something i had to cut out. i do treat myself every now and then, but it's not something i have regularly any more.

What about Mint Julippe's (sp?) At the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland (inside Pirates) they have lots of cajun and Southern food. I was in HEAVEN. They did have Sweet Tea too....VERY good. I know what you mean about the sugar being added while HOT. It makes more of a syrup than granules of sugar. I tasted DH's whilst I had the mint...SO GOOD!

OH the apricots! I need to be close to a bathroom the rest of the day with those.

I hate computer woes!

I'll trade ya measurements!

The weeks you "samer", take your measurements to see if things are shrinking. I bet they do!

you LOST while AF was visiting??? i'm totally jealous.

I think I can,I think I can,,,,,what was the name of that stupid book anyway lol

i think it was "the little engine that could" or something like that. AND YOU CAN!

haven't been there yet to try it, but i will keep it in mind!!! we wanna do a california trip one day and DL will definitely be included. i think if we have a kid i want to wait until then because DL seems SO geared towards kids!

i'm on a break in court - gonna be here ALL day. i'd honestly rather have teeth pulled than to listen to divorce cases all day.

I would love to go to DL some time. The farthest west I've ever been though is Pittsburgh, (western PA.) I'm not really a big traveler, it's either the shore with family, or WDW for me.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

So far today I've had sausage, (150 calories,) and yogurt, (100,) for breakfast, as well as a diet coke with lime. Lunch was a Lean Pocket, (280.) I figure I'll get some fresh fruit from the salad bar at work on my break.

I have to be at work in an hour, which after working the late shift last night is not very appealing to me this morning. I don't mind working late or early, I just hate when they schedule me a late shift, and then an early one. At least I have twelve hours between shifts, once they had me there until 1:00 AM, and then had me back in at 8:00 AM, that was no fun.

Me has to taste some of this. We might be going to TN this summer to visit a friend of my DS. His mom always talked about sweet tea but I nenver could figure out what she meant. Thanks.

Yeah for you.

She sounded like a hoot.

What do you do?

Ok guys. DD does have croup and she's a big cranky pot today. The pedi told the steroids would make her this way and then to put icing on the cake she's 2. She's sleeping on my shoulder as a type which is very hard to do. I'll be back later when I can feel my arm.

Must drink water.
