DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[MA pigletfan]

CHRISTI UPDATE----for the new peeps. Christi is a dear friend of mine who was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Oct. 1st. She had emergency surgery the next morning. We have had good days and a lot of bad ones. About a month ago we were told that they didn't expect her to come home. She did several rounds of radiation and they have stopped them. She is now blind in both eyes from the radiation, but she is getting some energy back and having some better days. She is talking again so for now the sun is shining on her and her family. It is still very hard, but her little boys have fallen into aroutine with the nanny and all is well. They still are geting to visit her a couple times a week. Please continue to lift this family up in prayer.

consider prayers sent....

I got a nice nap in.

The snow finally cancelled school and only 1 of my day care kids came today.

DAWN WAY TO GO GIRLFRIEND! YOU ROCK!

I wanna see that GOAL bling!

Malorie and the baby are sick too. Mal sounds croupy and the baby has a yucky cough like me. I had a fever this am, popped some excedrine before the nap and at least I have the energy to feed the kids.

Tim was running things while I napped. But I had to ask for it.

Yea to all you losers!


Don't forget to post your miles!

Had a very busy week, and I do not want to be on the naughty list. I've gain 1.4 lbs I'm going to lose it again soon.

thanks for the warms words and congrats, everyone! i'm really happy. i guess all that walking i did yesterday did something! it's funny - now i can say that i weigh what my driver's license says i do! i actually never really SAW my goal weight (130). when i weighed myself yesterday i was at 131. but this morning i was at 129, so i skipped the number i've been wanting to see for so long! but i'm not complaining.

for those of you struggling......STICK WITH IT!!!!! it can be done. we can't always diet and exercise the way we want to or the way we should, but don't give up. that's the worst thing you can do! even if the weight's not coming off as fast as you think it should, at least you're trying. that's better than sitting on your bum and doing nothing about living a healthy lifestyle!!!

i'm still gonna post my weight gain/loss on fridays. i don't want to get out of that habit because i think that's a major contributor to me reaching my goal - i'm being held accountable for my actions. plus, as a few of you have said, maintaining is sometimes the hardest part.

thank you all again for all your support and advice (geez.....i sound like a politician!). i couldn't have done it without your help!!!!

First of all, Congratulations Dawn! I'm so close myself and I find it amazing that these last few pounds are just hanging onto me like they are my lifelong best friends.

stick with it, faith! i have been teetering between 136 and 132 since like august! it'll eventually come off.

i'm still praying for that family. it sounds like she's making some progress, no matter how small. miracles do happen!

YAY DAWN!!!!


Dawn, how tall are you.I can't decide if I want my goal weight to be 130 or 135.I am 5'4 and sorta small framed but my hips are much bigger since I had kids.

i'm 5'3". i'm big-hipped too and i haven't had any kids! i've always carried my weight in my hips though. i have a tiny waist and shoulders and everything, but my legs and hips are anything but tiny. i wear a size small (sometimes medium) shirt and either an 8 or 10 pants (i was in a 14 a year ago). i could stand to lose a little bit more, but i picked a goal weight that i knew was healthy for me and realistic. i didn't want to set a goal i'd never reach. i think 135 should be fine for you - an inch of height adds at least 5 pounds, i would think.

Sounds a lot like me cept I have 4 kids. My calves are awesome and I can even cut a nice shape on top of my thighs, but the sides My hips, thighs, and butt have dubbed me ghetto butt for a long, long time Even when I was at my lowest weight I was still in a 12 just bcause of my hips. That was 2 kids ago.

Rebekah will officially start daycare on Monday. It will make out lives a lot easier. Her and Joshua will be at the same place so that means DH can pick them up in the afternoon instead of us dividing up. With that said I will be at Katies swim practice without Rebekah and so now I can WORK OUT FOR AND HOUR several days a week. THis will help me out a lot. I just could not get the baby from the sitter to put her in another daycare while I worked out. So as of Monday I will be walking and starting the couch to 5k. I may even try out a class or two.

One PoundWhich probably isn't that much to be proud of, but I didn't weigh myself first thing like I probably should of, (I overslept, and woke up half an hour before I had to be at work, ) and I really started my diet early this week, and didn't diet for a whole week, so hopefully this week I can do better.

My mom is having a party tonight though, so if I hang around at that, which I probably won't, since she invited no one I really care to mingle with, and they will just talk about politics the whole time, I probably won't eat much, if at all, tonight.

[disneyfav4ever]

Congratulations!

Today I had a "bad" breakfast. I worked a extra-early shift, (for me anyways,) at 7:00 AM, I usually go into work at 8:00 PM on Fridays, so 13 hours before my usual Friday shift. I overslept and didn't eat anything before work, so by my break I was starving. I had intended to get fruit, but the salad bar wasn't open yet, so instead I got a hot breakfast sandwich, egg, cheese, and sausage, on a muffin. I'm counting that as 500 calories, based on the calories of similar fast-food sandwichs.

I did have a slightly healthier lunch, which was pizza, but it was a Kashi pizza, which had some organic flax seed crust, as well as peppers and stuff. That was 450 calories, (half the pizza, which isn't that big.)

So I'm at 950 so far for the day, and my mom has that party later. Maybe I'll just drink a bunch of water beforehand, or avoid the party completely. Though living with my parents, that might be a bit difficult. So I may be on the boards all night, since I really don't have anything better to do. Fun Friday night for me.

Also, my birthday is Feb 13th I'm almost a Valentine's baby, and by the looks of it, I'm also the "baby" of this thread, since I'm only turning 24.

 

[DisneyGalUK]

Hi All,

Im a SAMER this week - my own fault, not too many peepy choices, and not a lot of excercise. This is MY week (well, weekend) - im going for a much dreaded dress fitting on Tuesday!

Dawn - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
You are an inspiration!

Pigget - for your friend.

Oh, my birthday is August 9th and I'll be 27

 

[aldisneygrl]

Ok, well I'm up 1.8 lbs. so I have now officially gained back all that I lost at Disney. Aaron that puts me back at having to lose 5 lbs. by Valentine's and I don't think I'll be able to make it, but I'll see what I can do. I did exercise this week. I just didn't make healthy food choices. The Statue of Liberty M & M dispenser we got in NYC this summer has been my friend this week. I think AF should be coming next week, so I think that is why I've been craving the chocolate. Well, that and the lack of self control.

Monica - I haven't done any exercise today since the kids didn't have school, I didn't walk the dogs this morning. I did take DD to work with me this morning, and she helped out in the "baby" room. They are between 1 & 2 years old. The teacher said she was a BIG help. Well, my director paid her $5 at the end of the day. She was SO excited! I'll post my miles later. Hopefully, I can do a few on the Gazelle. No, I WILL do a few on the Gazelle.

Wendy - Those are heelarious!

Dawn - Congratulations! You BIG loser!! You are such an inspiration to all of us!

Melinda - I think you already know my birthday, but it is April 18th, and you know what pretty number it is gonna be.

 

[dismom9761]

[punkin413]

Well, I have two things going right now.

Monica challenged us to report our miles that we exercise.

Then I am on a Team on the WISH events board (see my siggy line) where we report our weekly totals, and it is a year long competition. We report how many miles we put in, and how many minutes. I am hoping that this will keep me moving all year long!

 

[WI_DisneyFan]

by the way, i'm -3 pounds this week. in all my excitement i forgot to post that. sorry aaron and wendy!

No worries! I figured since you were 1 lb under your goal, that you must have lost 3 pounds. And by the way, red looks great on you! (I'm referring to the color of your "Goal" ribbon, just in case you couldn't figure that out...)

Two people haven't popped in yet, but here is this week's challenge update so far

CHRISTI UPDATE----for the new peeps. Christi is a dear friend of mine who was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Oct. 1st. She had emergency surgery the next morning. We have had good days and a lot of bad ones. About a month ago we were told that they didn't expect her to come home. She did several rounds of radiation and they have stopped them. She is now blind in both eyes from the radiation, but she is getting some energy back and having some better days. She is talking again so for now the sun is shining on her and her family. It is still very hard, but her little boys have fallen into aroutine with the nanny and all is well. They still are geting to visit her a couple times a week. Please continue to lift this family up in prayer.

I will keep praying for them too. Every day she is here to spend with her kids in any capacity is a blessing.
