DISappearing PEEPS Volume 2

[Disney8704]

Im a SAMER this week! I really cant wait for wii fit to come out. Maybe then I can start posting minus weight on weigh in day. Just a couple more weeks until it comes out!

 

[RxforDisney]

Yeah, the more I look around there I think her recipes and ideas are good, but I wont be using the meal plans as they are. I think the message boards are good though, from what I can tell. Just need to get used to them. Seems every message board I am on uses a different format.

You guys are putting me to shame. I can't even keep up with this message board.

I am -0.8 today. Not exactly a "big loser", but I'll take what I can get.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

First of all, I am down 1.6 this week. So I lost the .8 I gained last week and another .8 on top of that! If I could get rid of another 1.5 or 2 by Wednesday, I'd have a 3-4 lb cushion for the trip to keep me in ONE-derland. I'd REALLY like that! I'm hoping not to gain as much this time as I have the past couple of trips. We are not on dining plan this time, and I think my metabolism is in better shape now.

GOOOOOD MORNING!

Don't you LOVE Friday?! This is the last day of my boring week at work. Boss comes back next week. I've been begging everybody for work this work this week!

So I some chocolate right before bed last night but STILL kept it under 1400. And I had 52 gr. of fiber yesterday. That is not a typo.

Lynda....Three trips this year? You lucky dog! Are your friends going with you on this trip? Who's going in Sept.? What are your dates? And to DL in Nov.? Awesome!

Cel....Don't eat any cupcakes at Disney! Heh.

Pixie....How's she doing? Feeling better?

Tara....Congratulations on the sale! Hey, I tried weighing AFTER my shower and I weighed more. You must be reallllly dirty!

Aaron....Thanks for keeping up with the totals!

Sparkie, Winkers, Wendy, Laura....I hear ya on the PMS girls. I've got two teens and it's brutal!

UK, Laura, LMO.... Your posts are always encouraging!

EVERYBODY HAVE A GREAT FRIDAY!

Yep Melinda! Three trips including DL! Yes, our friends who are keepers at the Indy zoo are joining us for the first 5 nights and celebrating their anniversary on the 17th, the day before ours. And a friend of mine that I used to work with and her DH are with us for the whole trip, and they are celebrating her b-day (the 14th, the day we leave), his college graduation, and her and I are both celebrating recent promotions as well, so we are super excited!!! In Sept, it's just us at this point. I was thinking of talking to DH about taking my mom again. (She hasn't come with us since Feb '06.) We are there the weekend of the 20th in Sept - same as your tentative dates, I believe? And yes, we rescheduled for DL in November, and this time DH has meds, so we are getting on that darn plane!

Great job on your loss too!

Well, for the first time in almost 2 months of barely losing 1/2 pound a week, I'm not dreading posting my results - I lost 1.2 pounds this week! Last week I recalculated my WW points, and realized that I am supposed to get 28 but I was only eating 24. So my problem all along might have been not eating enough. (I feel like I've been through this before...) Or maybe it is just luck or not eating as much sodium or something like that. Don’t know, don’t care. I’m just happy for a better looking number for once.

Anyway, this loss gives me a grand total of 51 pounds lost since January 2007 (hello new bling!), and an uber-grand total of 75 pounds lost since I started this crazy journey sometime in 2005. I am at my all time lowest weight of 165, which is 5.1 pounds from my Independence Day goal and only 10 pounds from my goal weight of 155!!! (Although, I try not to get too excited about that because I'll probably end up lowing that goal weight once I get there.)

Have a great day everyone!

Congrats! Your bling looks great!

I'll post my weight tomorrow (It's still Friday here) in the a.m. My scale needed a new battery. I know I'm up, but when I stepped on the scale, it didn't seem right, and when I stepped on again, it jumped up 2 lbs. Crazy thing!
I don't have high hopes for tomorrow. Friday is treat day at school, and I walked over to the staff room to see what there was (yeah, I admit it), and there was nothing. I went to look on the calendar to see who the deadbeats were who skipped treats, and guess what? It was the kindergarten teachers. I rushed back to ask the other 2 if we could split the cost for Little Caesar's pizza, since it's so cheap. They agreed, so I called and ordered 8 pizzas, then zipped out and picked them up. After all the rushing around, I felt like I had to have a piece (200 calories). Then the leftovers followed me home, and I ate 2 more pieces. I'll be hitting the gym in the morning to try to work (some of) this off. Goodnight all.

 

[WDWBetsy]

Yikes, I just realized I didn't post my losses for the past 2 Fridays. I kept checking in and trying to catch up on everyone else, and then forgot to list mine! At least I don't see a post by me around 5/2.

Anywho... a - 2 this week! I should be getting my 20 lb. weight loss bear from Nutrisystem, with my food shipment that will arrive on Tuesday... yippee!

Congrats to all the losers!!

WI_DisneyFan: If you can add me to the July challenge, I'm going to shoot for 10 lbs. Thanks!

 

[lexmelinda]

GOOD MORNING!

Congratulations on the losses everybody!

Bad hair news here. Emily knocked the straightener to the floor yesterday and accidentally stepped on it!! It broke into two pieces. It was cloudy/misty yesterday here and my hair was laughable. I had to attend the carnival at DS's school yesterday.

Danielle...Don't feel bad. I ate pizza yesterday too. It was the spring carnival at DS's school so it was not to be avoided.

Betsy....Way to go! How's the Nutrisystem food? I've always wondered. They make it sound so easy.

Amy! I watched August Rush last night and it was sooooo good! I love the stars. Have you seen Keri Russell in Waitress? It is really good too. And that Jonathan Rhys Meyers...yummmmm. I have been wanted to rent the first season of The Tudors so now that decision is made! He plays Henry VIII.

Lynda!!!! We have to get together when we're at Disney! I've never seen the WL so maybe we can come over. We're also planning the AC this time. I am NOT leaving til I get to go to the AC!!! And no free dining this time? Bummer! Your May trip sounds great! What fun to have your good friends along. Lots of celebrating!

Fran....I thought the same thing as Wendy! I'm happy that you're happy it's a Disney ticker instead.

Gina....The Boca burger sounds yummy! I've never trying the laughing cow cheese. Gotta get some.

Jen....Step away from the sweet tea! Make a wide circle around the Sonic.

Everybody else.....

HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY!

I'm happy that your happy that I'm happy it's a DW ticker instead! If it was a 9 month ticker I don't think I would be happy and therefore, maybe you wouldn't be happy. Then there would be two happeless peeps on the board and no happy hour for one.

 

[WDWBetsy]

GOOD MORNING!

Betsy....Way to go! How's the Nutrisystem food? I've always wondered. They make it sound so easy.

Thanks! I really like most of the food and have found my favorites to have auto-delivered. It does seem easy since I don't have to wonder what I'm going to cook. I just go to the pantry and pick one of my meals.

Not sure if anyone is interested... I found out about a fat free frozen pizza from www.pizzafree.com - they are the best! I usually order 6 at a time and have about 1 a week. It counts the same as one of my NS dinner entrees and is huge compared to the NS pizza.

Sorry to hear about the straightener! That stinks! Do you have a curling iron? Sometimes I run that down my hair instead of wrapping hair around it. It does a nice straight but flippy thing.

I want to see August Rush too! I haven't had a chance to watch many movies lately.

Uh, yeah we'll have to get together! That's why we picked that weekend! Of course you can come over to the room! That'd be fun. You have to experience the lobby in that resort! We've never stayed there before. We're excited about it. And we would SO love to go to AC with you! You will love it! No free dining is actually a good thing this time. We have the DDE discount card, so we can use that, and we won't eat as much, which is a good thing for a change. We WILL splurge, just not as much. And hopefully, if I leave ONE-derland, it won't be for more than a week. I'm VERY happy to be there! And hopefully by Sept, I'll be in no danger of leaving ONE-derland when we go on our trip.

 

[MA pigletfan]

UM yah can i please have a reweigh for that challenge? This morning the scale shows 1.4 down from yesterday..so i believe in my little head that i am really DOWN .4 this week I had a few stomach issues this week that I need not go into for fear of being TMI, but lets say the plumbing needed help...so if Aaron was really super super nice he would use that .4 down instead of 1 up for me..pleaaaaase..with my luck it will be up again next week anyway!

Have a good one everyone..off to Curves..its so rainy again today..i do not like it one bit!

 

[abish19]

Happy Saturday, everybody!

I didn't post my weight yesterday but I was down .8 pounds.

Doesn't seem like much, but it means a lot to me. Honestly, I can lose weight slowly, as long as it goes down each week!

Haven't had time to go back and read everything I've missed - I have been SO BUSY for the last couple of weeks but I've been thinking of you!

Good luck this week!

 

[LMO429]

Just stopping in to say Hello to all the Peeps!

I have a wedding today, my cousin is getting married I am so glad the weather cleared up for him, it was miserable here yesterday!

Might have to have a drink or two or three tonight!

In case I don't get to post tomorrow Happy Mother's Day to all the Momma Peeps!

 

[HockeyKat]

We miss you Kat. Yeah on your trip for next week. How long are you going?

-1.4 lb Although today I did not do so well. I went to the diner for lunch with a friend and ate a cup of cream of broccolli soup and 1/2 of a triple decker roast beef sandwich and some fries, but I had a diet coke. Go figure.

We will be there from the 17th - 24th. We should arrive in town about noon on Saturday, are staying at CSR for Sat night, then a 1-bed at BCV from Sun-Thurs. We drive back on Friday. Since that weekend is Mem Day weekend, we decided that it really wasn't worth staying the weekend since the parks are likely to be really crowded.

Our 3rd wedding anniversary is May 21, so we are trying Victoria&Albert's for the first time. This trip is a DDE trip, with lots of counter service, buffet, and we are even bringing a lot of food to eat in the room since the 1-beds have a full kitchen, so that is how we are justifying the V&A splurge.

Congrats on the loss!!


Beth, congrats on your loss too. I know how hard you have been trying to see one. And of course, congrats to everyone else!!

I am probably going to abstain from weigh-ins until May 31st. I am just hoping not to wind up too much up.

However, my stretch pre-WDW goal was 165, and since yesterday I weighed in at 166, I am pretty happy about it. That brings me to a total loss of 26 lbs since Feb 5, and 52 since I started this journey in Feb 2007.

I have been going through my "thin" drawer and had to shop for some emergency clothes last week (got stuck overnight for work), and am now a solid size 12. I can even zip and button some 10s although I wouldn't actually be able to wear them out. I am pulling M shirts off the rack and they fit. I started this as a tight 18, w/ XL shirts starting to be on the tight side.

I hope everyone has a *GREAT* weekend and happy mother's day to all the mothers in the group! My tomorrow will be spent at a free M-day ice hockey clinic at a local rink. I think it is soo cool that they are encouraging moms to bring out their daughters and get them into the sport that I love so much.

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I worked all day yesterday and today. I didn't have a chance to weigh-in yesterday, (I went to work before I had a chance to weigh myself yesterday, and am just getting a chance to post today,) but I am -1.

I started work at 9:00 AM today, and just finished everything. Yesterday I worked until after midnight, and then when I came home I had stuff to do, so I only got about four hours of sleep, so you can guess how tired I am.

Luckily tomorrow I have nothing to do, so I'm going to sleep until noon, watch a movie I rented, Over Her Dead Body, in the afternoon, and Desperate Housewives that night.

Next weekend I'm looking foward to, since my parents are going away. I don't have any plans, but I like having the house to myself for a few days.

 

[dwheatl]

I said I would post my weight gain today, so here it is. I am up 1.2.
We sent DD off the the prom tonight. She threw a hair hissy-fit (why is it when she needs my help she acts so crabby?) She looked lovely, and the boy was very sweet. He was a last minute stand-in, as the boy who was supposed to take her backed out. Her date is a blind date, but some of the other girls from her school know him,and were talking about how cute and nice he is. And when he showed up, he WAS cute, and obviously he is nice, since he stepped in at the last minute.
We're having lots of teen drama here this week, and I am really looking forward to the hot tub tonight.

Good for you! It seems like you and I have kinda kept pace with each other pretty closely since starting this journey. I started at a slightly snug 20 with a fair number of XXL shirts in my possession. I am now getting into 14's and L and M shirts. Since the beginning of February I've lost about 21 lbs, and since starting this in January of 07, I've lost almost 52 lbs. I also got stuck for about 6 months, and I think you were also stuck during part of that time. I can remember you comiserating with me. I just thought that was interesting.

 

[Disneyfreak92]

Oh yeah! I ate pretty badly at the graduation party today. There was SO much food! I did eat a lot of fruit and veggies though, but I won't talk about the other stuff. Anyway, today was my cheat day. Tomorrow I'll be good instead. And I'll do a good work out too. We are going to the graduation in the morning, and then we are visiting DH's mom, then coming home and having a cookout with DH's dad and stepmom and my mom. At least I'm staying busy up until leaving for WDW.

WOW!! I hadn't realized how close we were in lbs lost. And everything else. I am pretty sure that we are close to the same height, too. I was stuck between Sept and Jan...

At some point, hopefully you will pass me in lbs lost, and join me in goal weight! What is your final goal? I am thinking that mine is 150, but I want to ge there first and see what it feels like. I may go a bit lower just to have a cushion. I am hoping to get there sometime this summer.

We really should try to get together this trip. The only solid plan we have is V&A on our wedding anniversary (May 21).

 

[lexmelinda]

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I hope all the peep mom's have an extra special day today! Here's hoping all your meals are prepared for you and you get lots of nice surprises! (I hope I get a new straightener.)

Lynda & Kat! Awesome on 52 pounds! Wow!

Danielle....I feel your pain on the teen drama. I'm so happy DD's date was cute and nice! Bonus! How was the hot tub?

Fran....I'm happy that you're happy that I'm happy that your ticker is for Disney.

Betsy....The pizza looks good. How do they taste? Fat free pizza? I didn't know there was such a thing.

LMO, abish, Gina, disneyfav..........

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!

Pizza is my downfall. I can eat pizza everyday and a lot of it.

And we would SO love to go to AC with you! You will love it!

Silly question? What is AC?

Just stopping in to say Hello to all the Peeps!

I just saw your ticker today

We sent DD off the the prom tonight.

Any pictures you can share?

We will be there from the 17th - 24th.

You leave next week then? Lucky ducky. But you've been working hard so you need it.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO EVERYONE
