DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

OK, so it's weigh in day, and I am happy to report that I am down 2.4 lbs. I can't remember where that puts me at on the Easter challenge, but I can tell you that I am going to change my ribbon bling as soon as I post this! I am now at 208.6, meaning I have now lost 41.4 lbs total!!! Holy cow! I was beginning to think the day would never come. I'm shooting for at least another 10 gone by the time we leave for our trip in May, meaning I'll be in ONE-derland, and if you think I'm happy now, just wait. I'll be thrilled to finally be under 200! Goal weight will still be 30-40 lbs away, but I am just so thrilled for things to be moving that direction again.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are amazing!

wow......it's been quiet around here the last few days. i'm buried in typing (which is AWESOME because i need the money) so i haven't been around much. hope everyone's doing well.

sparkie - way to go on making good choices!

i'm off to do more typing, then DH and i have to go to home depot to buy more flooring to finish the itty bitty pieces of trim on our bathroom floors that aren't done yet and get light bulbs. we're having the house appraised this friday so we can refinance and i want all the lights to have light bulbs in them! i *may* swing by the paint section to swipe a few mickey heads so i can make myself a countdown calendar when i hit 30 days.

by the way, i didn't quit longhorn's. my manager was nice enough to give me the entire weekend off when i told him i had a major transcript to type by next week, so i couldn't do that to him. he was really nice to do that. anyway, i'm back to the grind next weekend.

have a good sunday everyone!

wow it really has been quiet.
i am ALMOST feeling human again, the temp is finally gone and i can sort of breath through my nose..i totally look as pale as casper, but oh well..at least i FEEL better..we can't have everything can we? lol

as for WI..although i was sick i was still up 1.2 from the last time i weighed in..but thats ok..i hadn't been working out and that weekend in maine did me in for a bigger gain than that so i am glad it got down to just the 1.2...so now it looks like i have 5 to go for that blasted easter challenge..oh well..keep on peepin on!

 

[UtahMama]

Sorry I suck!

I'm feeling so frustrated with my weight!!!!!

Which is presactly when I need to post here more! I lost weight this last week. 2 pounds. But then felt my old negative ways slipping silently in.

Like on Friday, I talked myself into cheating by saying "heyyyy, it's the farthest day from weigh day...go ahead...."

And today I had a big (BIG) slice of Margherita Pizza from Costco featuring mozz. cheese, spinach, and tomato. BUT, it was on WHITE (regular) crust!!! I don't want to have any white flour. But I did. Now I'm all feeling guilty.

The minute I announce that there's "no 2's" in my weight, I flub up and go up and over the 2's.

I know it's sounds like I'm being hard on myself, but it's such a slippery slope for me. I need to take control while it's only pizza crust and not chocolate cake at 2AM.

 

[HockeyKat]

UM... step away from the chocolate cake!! Really!! Being thin is better than it will taste, I promise you!

It really is quiet in here.

I know! I've been thin...for as long as it took to take my "after" picture and get pregnant with Norah But I think that was too thin. I need to shoot for 170 not 155 like before (I'm 5'9).

It's the KEEPING IT OFF part that I worry about.

 

[HockeyKat]

I worry about the maintenace part too. However, I am shooting for thin -- I am 5'8", so for me, about 140-145 . That way I have the cushion of going up a few lbs (say, for AF which always adds 5 lbs) and not winding up fat again.

But, I am trying in steps... to get to 160 or so by my May WDW trip... then the rest of the way during the summer. I am trying to see this as a process rather than a quick fix.

 

[punkin413]

hey, peeps. i don't ask for a whole lot of pixie dust/thoughts/prayers but my brother is fighting some pretty nasty personal demons right now and i think he could use them. thanks.

for those of you who usually go to WDW during free dining - post here when you hear an announcement, please! i would greatly appreciate it. i just don't want to miss it since i'm planning on going back with a friend for a short trip in early september.

wow it really has been quiet.

glad you're feeling better! speaking of pale, i've gotta get to the tanning bed before i go to disney. i by no means go often enough to look orange or "leathery" but i do like a little bit of color and right now i'm glowin!

Sorry I suck!

hang in there, UM!!!!! you soooooo don't suck. you're the reason we're all here - you started this thing!!! you can do it. next time you have a weak moment just log on and start typing!

and 1 slice of pizza is not the end of the world.

It's the KEEPING IT OFF part that I worry about.

Why do I hear Jim Carrey's voice from the Grinch saying this? "And this time, I'm keeping it off!"

I am so with you on the whole weight loss thing. I have pretty much lost five lbs. over the last year and 3 months, and then bounced up and down another 5 lbs. I make so many excuses for eating, and my biggest downfall is eating because I'm tired or really don't feel like doing the thing I should be doing (for instance, I should be finishing my students' report cards right now). I feel like I need to go back to those "just for today, I won't cheat" days. Shall we say tomorrow is a no-cheat day?

Kat. Where is everyone?

 

[dwheatl]

Punkin. I'm sending pixie dust right away for your brother. I have a bro who is 48, and he's still a "lost boy".

 

[aldisneygrl]

hey, peeps. i don't ask for a whole lot of pixie dust/thoughts/prayers but my brother is fighting some pretty nasty personal demons right now and i think he could use them. thanks.

You got it....all of the above. Here's some along with some prayers , and good thoughts for your brother. Hope he can deal with whatever is coming his way. He's got a great sister who loves and cares for him, so he's got a good thing going for him.

Oh, and UM and Kat, I've been having the same struggle. I'm finally gonna post my info here. I'm 5'8" and I weigh 157.5 as of this morning. I have fluctuated from 158 down to 153 ever since October. I am running/walking about 15 milies a week, and I just can't seem to break through 150 and stay there. I feel like such a WW failure. Do to life getting in the way, I haven't been to a meeting in over a month. I'm starting to wonder if my body is saying this is where I want to be, now leave me alone. My BMI is at a healthy # now, my BP is doing really well, but why do I feel like a failure? Sorry to be a downer guys, but I'm really frustrated, and I have a REALLY busy week ahead of me, and I need to plan, but I'm afraid I'm gonna crash and burn.

Now on to happier posting......

 

[UtahMama]

Thanks for the Peeps!

I think you're right. I just need to log on and start typing rather than "avoid". I felt better just admitting I feel so weak sometimes.

Punkin- I love how you adore your brother. And of course he's in our prayers.

Dweatl- Ok, a NO Cheat day tomorrow!!


What would y'all think of a lil jump start in the form a little friendly competiton with another WISH thread's peeps? I've been lurking on DizneyDawn's WISH thread ('member her?) and spoke with her today..but not about any friendly competiton. Might be fun! We could take our 10 best weight losses one week against her 10 bests???? What do ya think? I'll tip toe over and ask if they want to play with us....heh. That is if you want to.

OOOOO! I likey that idea Wendy! I need a kick in the I haven;t posted my loss in a couple or 3 weeks because I have been horrible. Friday I was actually down from the week before, but I'm exactly where I was on January 1! SO of course this weekend I was bad, I figured after losing 5 I could slack off a bit. I hate to see that in the last 2 months I have made no progress, but it really is my own darned fault!

!! I just took a nice turn in my FIXED hot tub... it hasn't been working since mid-January so I am pretty excited.

Oh Allie... you have no idea how incredibly much I wish I was saying I was at 158!! And I am 5'8" too. I have been fluctuating between 172 and 192 (!!!) since Sept.

You are NOT a failure! 153 esp is a normal healthy weight for 5'8, plus you are really, really fit. 15 miles a week!! Holy crap!

Thanks for the Peeps!

Umm.... I am a pretty active member of that thread.... which side am I on? Can you take me out of the competition, or count me on both sides (since it would effective negate my effect on either)?

I propose that if you lose weight you're on our team and if you gain you're on theirs!

[monymony3471]

I'm just gonna start over. I did so good and that ruined me. Success ruins me. I don't understand it. So, I'm not playing I gained this much so I have to lose this much, no.

I am just started over today.

No questions asked.

Ok, first things first.

Happy Birthday Melinda!

Our resident birthday Goddess! Hope it's the best!

[DisneyLaura]

Sorry I suck!

I'm feeling so frustrated with my weight!!!!!

UM - Don't be so hard on yourself. I know exactly how you feel. Although I need to lose at least 150 lb. I know every tuesday when I go to WW I sometimes cheat after I go, Why? Because of the same reason you said, I just weighed and won't get weighed until next Tuesday again so bring on the ice cream and food I shouldn't eat. I have lost the same 5 lb at WW over the past 8 months. I'm sick with myself. No cheat day over here either.

hey, peeps. i don't ask for a whole lot of pixie dust/thoughts/prayers but my brother is fighting some pretty nasty personal demons right now and i think he could use them. thanks.

Prayers and pixie dust for your brother.

Maybe your body is saying this is where it likes to be. Would you be happy with it? Then I say this is where you need to be?

Well, I haven't been 153 since I got back from Disney, and that was because I walked 60 miles that week. I've stayed at 155-157 the longest. I guess I need to sneak back into WW, and ask my leader her opinion. When I became I lifetime member (10 years ago) I got down to 133, so that is why I feel like a failure. Why can't I do that again? Although my DR said 140 would be as low as she would recommend.

Maybe your body is saying this is where it likes to be. Would you be happy with it? Then I say this is where you need to be?

Maybe it is, and I just need to listen. That's why I need to talk to my leader, and ask her opinion. It's just that basketball/softball practice has gotten in the way of my meetings. Maybe I could go really early tonight, and just weigh and talk to her and then run to softball? don't ya' love the way I talk to myself here?
