Breaking the FAT Barrier!!

[MrsPeel]

Did you all hear the SONIC BOOM this morning??? {explode}

That was me, breaking the 200-pound barrier - 199.6 and I will NEVER see 200 pounds again! You heard it here, first. :D

[Hugentobler]

I felt it all the way here in Cincinnati! Congrats!!!! It has to feel great to say good bye to the 200's.

[MrsPeel]

Thanks, AmyLynn! And guess what? I was sitting on my bed this morning eating my 6 oz. of yogurt, and I looked down and realized I was sitting cross-legged, Indian-style! I don't remember the last time I could sit that way, and I never even thought about it.
:)

[Bronwyn]

Yay Mrs. Peel!!! I was wondering what that boom was as I know the space shuttle landed last week. I am so excited for you and so impressed!!! You must be feeling so wonderfully different. Too fun sitting cross-legged to, huh?? It is the little realizations like those that keep us going too. I woke up one night hugging my knees to my chest (must've been hot - threw off covers - then cold so hugging myself. Or I was dreaming of cannon-balling into a pool...) anyhow, I got so happy when I realized that I could actually hug my knees to my chest without my big belly making it uncomfortable.

I am so happy for you and this accomplishment. Thanks for sharing with us!

[GettinSkinny]

Sonic boom?.... you gals crack me up!!!!! Congratulations MrsPeel, can't wait until I "break the 200-pound barrier". :)

[Swimmer]

:applause:Congratulations. That is a great milestone!!!

[Iisrias]

I wondered what that sound was! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shasha]

GO MRS PEEL GO!!! :clapping3:
WELL DONE!!! ON BLASTING PAST THE 200 POUNDS MARK {goodjob}

TALK ABOUT: ANOTHER POUND BITES THE DUST!!! {pan} OH YEAH!!!

You must be singing that song that goes:


Leaving on a jet plane -
I'll never see that much weight again!! :plane:

[GailStout]

So THAT'S what woke me up this morning! (And here I thought it was thunder!)

WELL DONE MRS. PEEL!!! ENJOY THIS DAY (take a PICTURE!!!) and remember that you'll never be across that line again! VERRRRRRYYYYYY VERRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYY WELL DONE!

[flwrgrlie]

I heard it all the way in California! {congrats} MRS PEEL!! I know first hand how exciting that feeling is. Keep up the good work. We're all here cheering for you!

[MrsPeel]

Wow, AmyLynn, Bronwyn, Swimmer, Shasha, flwrgrlie, GailStout, Iisrias & GettinSkinny!! Thank you all so much for hearing the BOOM! I will probably be a little quieter from now on, as it's nose-to-the-grindstone time for the next 49 pounds. I know this is going to be the tough stretch, but with your help, I WILL GET THERE.

And flwrgrlie, of course you heard it, as I'm in L.A.! :)

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

I agree with the nose to the grindstone... although in your case it would probably be more like the Peel's PEELing the fat away! lol

I don't think its going to get harder for you - I think your just going to keep on going successfully from one day to another, PEELing the pounds away... remember, you're in the habit, the mind set and the momentum... and of course you have all of us!! {grouphug1}

True the pounds do slow down a bit after the first big month - but from now on it should be steady progress every month... and, the good news is that the smaller you become, the more noticeable every pound will be that you do loose!! I believe you will find your clothes fitting better (too big in fact!) faster and faster - meaning that 5 pounds off 250 pounds shows less than 5 pounds off 150 pounds which will have a lot more impact!

So, here's to the next {bat} 49 pounds {pan} YOU CAN DO IT!!!

[mama]

CONGRATULATIONS, Mrs. Peel !!!!
You are also more than half way thru!!! WELL DONE!!!

[MrsPeel]

Thanks for the encouragement, Shasha & mama! I've been getting a lot of it today - I went to my vacuuming session (endermologie) and on the way out, I saw one of the doctors there at the Health Center and he literally stopped in his tracks. "How much weight have you lost??" he said, and when I told him 50+ pounds, he was astonished. He asked if I wanted to lose more and I told him yes, another 49 or so pounds - he said, "You're gonna be a BONE!" He laughed.

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

And I hope you replied to the good doctor:


"...well, that's what it takes these days
to be a super star!!!" {cheerleader}

[Bronwyn]

Good for you Mrs. Peel!! Isn't it amazing?? And now the smaller you are the more noticeable each pound will be coming off your frame. Get ready - You're gonna get a LOT of attention. Hope that's okay w/Mr. Peel!

[momof3]

Wow! :) You guys are doing great! This diet is the only one that has worked for me in years. Keep up the good work! I know you'll all make it to your goals! I'm looking forward to starting my re-feeding program.

Cheryl

[Sarah Leigh]

I'm so thrilled for you! I knew there was something in the air. I felt it here in NJ!!!!

You rock!

Sarah:applause:

[MrsPeel]

Hey, momof3! Look at you, about to go SUPER-NOVA! Congrats on achieving your goal! And I know what you mean, this is the most amazingly effective diet ever.

Thanks, Sarah Leigh, for the encouragement! Will you create a ticker so we can watch your progress, too? :)

Bron, my friend, I am ready for attention (esp. from MrPeel) - because that is positive reinforcement and will help to keep me focussed and slim!

And Shasha - you are the super-star! We all rely on your advice, support, and occasional spanking!!! :sadeyes:

Hi MrsPeel,

I love this thread. The first time I read it I couldn't imagine joining you on the "other side" (of the fat barrier).

Last time I weighed in was 2.5 weeks ago and I was at 203. Since then I've been chomping at the bit to know if I've broken through. I haven't cheated with any peaks on the scale, but just this once I really wanted to know...BAD.

I told myself "No!" for the past two and a half weeks but finally I broke down. I found my scale in it's hiding place(I told my husband to hide it from me, but found it in about 10 minutes :eyebrow:).

I pulled it out, got into my birthday suit, took a deep breath, and stepped on. Low and behold....
.......................
.......................
.......................
.......................
.......................
.......................
................................MY SCALE WAS BROKEN.

Wow, how's that for the universe keeping me from cheating? I couldn't believe it. I guess I'm just meant to have to wait until this four weeks is up like a good girl. (I better buy a new scale in the meantime though :flirt:)

[bitten]

OMG SG-

a sign from above or what?????

you are 100% op right?
well there is no way you will not be way into the onederland....

[SurferGirl]

Hi Bitten!

Yep I'm 100% OP.

(Must Qualify That Statement with confession of past errors: I did have scallops on my birthday(i thought they were OP, they're not :( ), and there have been a few other misunderstandings, with spices, fruit/cracker eating times but other than that in the past 14 weeks i've just been truckin along OP style.)

I simply can not wait(but I'm gonna have to:innocent4:) to see that 1 on the scale!!! Wooo Hooo! and to know, my weight will never again start with a two for the rest of my life!!!

Surfer Girl

[bitten]

Amazing..............

Well Done You!!!!!

[Shasha]

{hi} there :surf:er Girl

{rofl} because your scale is broken just in time to prevent an illegal weigh-in… sorry, but I can’t help myself!!! {rofl} That was such GREAT TIMING!!!

[Mei Mei]

Fantastic! What an accomplishment. You are going to have to change your name to skinny peel :) Bravo!
Mei

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

:confused: Where are you????? I’m missing you like crazy!!!! :crying:

Please come and let me know how you are doing… {idk} you can't go AWOL on me now!!!

[MrsPeel]

Hey, Shasha!

I have been without computer access for nearly 2 weeks now - MrPeel kindly lent me his work laptop to post this!
We foolishly decided to refinish our hardwood floors inside while we have painters prepping the outside of our house - it's utter mayhem here, and we are living in two rooms along with all four elderly kitties! MrPeel has started his refeed plan and I am still OP - today weighed in at 161.6! Getting there . . .

More later - xoxoxoxoxoxo

[MrsPeel]

Ha!

[rbride05]

MrsPeel

Glad Shasha sent out a Shout to you, I was just wondering yesterday what had happened to you. Glad to know it just home repairs/projects that was keeping you away from all us. :)

[Bronwyn]

I've been missing you too so glad to hear you're doing well, just a little (or a lot) crazed. Congrats to Mr. Peel for starting Refeed! I hope he's enjoying it. It sure was a lot of math and calculating but fun to finally get to add more variety after so long. Good luck with the repairs!!

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

Mrs Peel! Mrs Peel!! - I sure have missed you soooooooooooo very much!!!! :bighug:

BIG :clapping3: to Mr Peel for starting his Re-feeding Program!!! This is excellent news!!!

Thank you for borrowing Mr Peel’s PC and letting me know that you are still 100% okay out there, between all the rubbles and mayhem and all…

Home renovations are NEVER easy!!! Doing home renovations on top of your own diet and Mr Peel's Re-feeding Program... WOW, that is incredible!

Anyway, it’s clear: NEW MR PEEL, :love5: NEW MRS PEEL and a NEW HOME-SWEET-HOME too!!!

[MrsPeel]

Hey, all -

I weighed in at 158.2 - broke through 160, the last barrier to my goal of 150!!

MrPeel thinks I am getting too skinny, so I will request refeed at 155 and see how it all shakes out.

We still have limited computer access, owing to home renovation upheaval, but I will try to check in again soon. :)

[pumbza]

Hi Mrs Peel we all Missed You very MUCH but we had a LITTLE bit of FUn while YOU were away but its MUCH BETTER that you are BACK NOW!!!Ha Ha!:innocent4:Congratulations on breaking the 160lbs Barrier and You are on your way to 150lbs I AGREE with Mr PEEL you musn't get to skinny a LADY must be Volumptious in my opinion that doesn't count for much and as YOu can see I can't spell either!!!Ha Ha!!:innocent4:Anyway only what MR PEEL want's is what he GET's have a GLORUIS DAY and see YOU later Alligator in a WHILE Crocadile!!Ha Ha!!!:innocent4:

[SurferGirl]

YAY Mrs. Peel!

I'm so happy for you, you must be feeling fantastic. Sorry your life has been so hectic with the remodel (of you, your husband, and your house). We have missed you for sure. Keep up the great work, can't wait to hear about your refeed journey!

[MIMI]

Mrs. Peel, that's awesome!! I'm getting close to breaking the 160's. I will weigh in in about a week or two. I can hardly wait. I have been good and have not weighed, i want to wait for my 4 weeks to be up. I hope you get back on soon!!! I miss you when your not on. :( MIMI

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

Did you ever think that you will hear the words YOU ARE BECOMING TOO SKINNY!! WOW, that is wonderful!!! I’m so excited for you Mrs Skinny Peel!{cheerleader}

Remember, the closer to your ideal goal, the easier you will manage your weight in the long run because if you still carry excess fat, your body will be prone to storing fat and we don’t want that to happen – if you have more muscles or a larger frame, then simply ignore what I’ve just said – the aim is to lose the excess fat and you should begin Re-feeding when you’ve done just that...

Enjoy the last little bit of your race... :love7:

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

I'm delighted to see that you've begun your FINAL COUNT DOWN!!!


Only 3.... 2.... 1.... pounds to go!!! {wave}

Way to go SUPER STAR!!! {cheerleader}

Please let us know when you hit your GOAL!!! So that we can all celebrate your wonderful success with you!! {boing}

And please do let us know how Mr Peel is doing too??

[MrsPeel]

Hi, all!

Life has been pretty crazy, what with our house under renovation siege and all!

I am two pounds from goal - my consultants had me start re-feed because I was starving all the time. I am on Day 15 of re-feed, and my weight has gone up and down a little on this part of the program. I was almost to goal after the first couple of days, but as I've added more grams, I bounced up a little. Then, yesterday was my most added grams so far, plus 3 slices of bread and 2 bad fruits, and I lost a pound overnight! Go figure.

MrPeel is still staying trim, and we will post B&A pix soon!

[lfingers11]

I am so glad that everything is going great and it sounds like you will be done with refeed soon. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to see the pics!!
Pam

[Lauren]

Hello Mrs. Peel!

That's so funny! I was just thinking about you yesterday--wondering how you're doing! Thanks for checking in! Tomorrow I get what you had yesterday--three pieces of bread & 2 bad fruits. So exciting! Are you liking the different foods? I find that the more I eat, the more I lose, so I bet you'll reach your goal by the time you're done. You must look AMAZING! Can't wait for those pics!!!

[PhyllisRis]

Hi Mrs. Peel
I can totally relate to what you're going through with house renovations! Ten years ago we put on a good sized addition complete with basement. BUT the end product was definitely worth the disruption and commotion! AND this past June we had our kitchen remodeled with new cabinets and countertop....again it was WELL worth the disruption, mess and work!!! That's one of the reasons I didn't start 1PD until the middle of July....didn't want to try to cook things for the diet without a microwave, stove, and countertop!!
You are such an inspiration to us all.....keep up the good work and we look forward to walking in your footsteps soon!!
Phyllis

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

:bighug: I am so glad to hear that you are doing your Re-feeding Program and that you and Mr Peel are doing so well :clapping3:

Hope the home renovations are making good progress and we all really look forward to seeing your photo’s {wave}
