WISH weight loss thread -- 2007! ADD YOUR WEIGHT LOSS NOW SO WE CAN GET A GRAND TOTAL [Archive] - The DIS Discussion Forums

Okay gang, we are two hours away from 2007 and I thought it would be great to see how much weight all of our DISers can lose in a year. It is pretty simple and no matter what program you follow you can participate. You can weigh in weekly, bi-weekly or monthly if you choose. All you have to do is take the loss or gain posted before yours; add or subtract your gain or loss and post the final number.

So for EXAMPLE, I weigh in on Tuesday, I lost 2 pounds. WISH 2007 loss is 2 pounds. Jimmy weighs in and loses 3.2 pounds. New WISH 2007 loss is 5.2. Sally weighs in and gains 1 pound, the new WISH 2007 loss is 4.2, etc. etc. etc.

So who is game? Once you have your first weigh in for 2007 feel free to post and then we can build from there. It will be interesting to see at the end of the year how much weight a community can lose!

Onward and downward we go! Here's to reaching our goals in 2007!

That sounds like a lot of fun and something that would be very motivating! I would love to join in. I weigh in on Mondays so next Monday I will come and hopefully add a loss to our total! :thumbsup2

Well I am a newbie to this part of the boards but I'll join. I weigh in at WW on Wednesday so I will return w/my weight then. It's my first week so I doubt that I will post a loss but from here on in I hope too.princess:

Woo Hoo.....looks like we are generating interest, I am so excited! I can't wait to see our numbers grow. It would be really cool if we could get enough interest to lose 2007 pounds in 2007!!!!

Debbie -- THANK YOU for starting this! FANTASTIC! i'm here and i just stepped on the scale today and saw i'm up 6 lbs from the holidays! so since this is a 2007 year 'challenge' per say, i'll count that as my start point and hopefully those first 3-4 or maybe 5 lbs will melt away quickly!!

What about those of us who cannot weight and judge our weight loss my pants size? :(

Lindsay -- i think your judgement by your pants size would be appropriate -- if you are like me, no one will be a harder critic than yourself :rolleyes1 I have always found that a size in jeans is about 8-10 pounds for me. i'm not sure if that would hold true for you, but maybe somewhere to start? and i'm going to research and see if i can figure out who made the offical WISH clippies and see about getting a 'size' one -- thank you for asking :flower3:

LadyGracey

01-02-2007, 01:35 PM

Unfortunately my start weight is going to be 263. I was shocked when I got on the scale. But that's just more losses to add to the total, right? I am so glad I'm not the only one out there!

mikamah

01-02-2007, 03:03 PM

Great idea Tiggerlover. I'd love to join you all. My starting weight is 198.2, and this week I'll weigh in on saturday. My weigh days vary with my day off each week, but I'll definitely check in. Onward and downward for us, onward and upward with our total loss!!!!!!

Count me in, too!! I just saw this thread today. I'm hoping to lose 10-15 more pounds this spring. I do my starting weigh-in tomorrow, so my weigh-in day will be Wednesdays. I WILL have a loss to report next Wednesday--thanks for providing this motivation!!

ETA: my weigh in was 146, but I didn't get to weigh until Thursday, so my check-in dates will be Thursday!

Good luck, everyone!! :cheer2:

Hello WISHers. I fell so far off the wagon that I had to take away my clippie AND my onederland statement. Today's starting weight was 202.5. Ugh. I am back on track though. I will have losses for you!

01-02-2007, 08:12 PM

Looks like I get to be the first to post a loss and I thought we could do the total in red each time so it will stand out. So after my weigh in tonight I am 1.4 pounds down.

I am so excited that so many of you are on board for this, what a great way to start the new year!!!

Molli, thanks for checking on a new clippie.

Lindsay, we can definitely do pants sizes for those who don't weigh. Why don't we put weight gain/loss totals in red and clothing size reductions in blue?

Hi everyone,
I went to WW's tonight and I gained 5.2 since the beginning of December. The good thing is, I'm back on track and expect to have a several pound loss next week.

Bring on the good stuff in 2007! Woo hoo!

Oh goodness gracious no, I wasn't offended!! I was just worried I may be out of line suggesting something like that. :) I desperately need support/comment/criticism in this journey and you all are awesome. I just wanted to make sure there was a place for me here :goodvibes

MiniGirl

01-03-2007, 08:42 AM

This sounds like fun. I hope to add quite a few pounds to the total loss before the year is out. I weigh on Sunday mornings, so I'll add my numbers then. I think 2007 in 2007 would be great. Do we have that many members though. I'll try to contribute 55 pounds or so.

LadyGracey

01-03-2007, 10:04 AM

denecarter and ladygrace count me in the 300's too, 320 on Saturday, buy weighing in tomorrow and will be down. I'll post my red tomorrow night. We can do this!!!:cheer2:

I am so happy for this support!! :cool1: I NEVER thought I'd be this heavy--but I'm too young to feel as tired as I do, so it's time to CHANGE! I always think of that movie "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and the poor woman who wouldn't leave her house...I don't want that to be me. (mmm Johnny Depp...)

I will certainly have a loss to add this week!

NikiM20

01-03-2007, 10:50 AM

OK all, I hopped on the scale this morning and I am down 2.5 lbs I am very excited!!! I am taking my weight loss in 10 lb blocks so I am 1/4 of the way to my first goal! We need a clippie for our group...any one up to making one?

Cruise04

01-03-2007, 11:23 AM

Count me in as well. I've set a personal goal of 75 pounds by the end of the year. I weighed in on Jan 1 and as of this morning I'm already down 3 pounds. TOM was here and so was all the junk in my house. Most of the junk is gone, TOM is gone, I'm back to work, and I'm waiting for my workout system to get here but I'm going to start with something I already have at home tonight.

Thanks for doing this!

Ok, well here it goes, I weighed in today but it hasn't been a week so I'll be back again on Friday to add to it. As of today it is 3.8 down making the new total 7.7. Way to go!!!! Keep it up we are worth it.

01-03-2007, 09:05 PM

*Sigh* I joined Weight Watchers tonight with my all time highest weight of 217.8. I'm so ashamed.

{{{{HUGS}}}} Please don't be ashamed because you have made two important steps to changing, you joined WW and you shared your weight, those are two big steps. When I first started I was 218 pounds and I was ashamed and felt hopeless, but I am here today as proof you can change and lose. Set small goals for yourself and reward yourself as you reach those goals. Come to WISH often for support and you will be on your way!!!

Welcome to all, the more the merrier!!!

lajones81, Please don't dwell on that. I, too, started the New Year at my all time high, so I know that it is easier said than done. We know what we have to do, so let's just do it. I look forward to starting 2008 as a healthier new me and I'm excited about looking back and seeing all I have accomplished. (Pssttt.... I'm trying to decide if I want to try for next year's Disney marathon -- well, 1/2 marathon.... okay, maybe 5K. Even when I was in great shape, I was not a runner. I think training toward something may help keep me motivated though.)

I'm back again here at WISH. Got on the scale this morning and honestly, it wasn't as bad as I expected. I feared worse. But as it stands it is my all time high. 216.

I got on the elliptical this morning and could only muster 5 minutes. I will try again when I get home tonight. I really need all the motivation I can get. Maybe if I can see some significant progress it will help lighten the funk I've been in. I hate feeling like this.

UrsulasShadow

01-04-2007, 11:56 AM

Okay, I'm in. I gained way too much over the holidays, so I have another 8 lbs to lose in addition to the 35 I still had left to reach goal. This is the year to reach GOAL! And, if I can boost the numbers while doing it, that's just great! I'm putting in a new ticker, so I can keep track.

chamonix

01-04-2007, 04:09 PM

*Sigh* I joined Weight Watchers tonight with my all time highest weight of 217.8. I'm so ashamed.lajones, this time last year I was at my all time highest weight, and I felt that shame too when I got on the scale at WW and faced a very similar number (I weighed slightly MORE--222!) and faced just how out of control I had gotten (or my life had gotten!) Although I know the feeling, please don't feel ashamed. The important thing is that you are going to do something about it. Next year at this time you will be amazed at how far you have come, and how much you have lost. You can do it! Starting is hard, I know. Welcome to WW and WISH.

Can I join in?

I weighed in on Jan. 1 and at that point, I had 32 pounds to lose. I'm currently down 2. (I don't have decimals on my scale.) Gotta love the water weight! I know the rest won't go down as easily but I'm cutting down on the calories and increasing water consumption, etc. And exercising - I have a hula DVD and I'm getting Carmen Electra's Strip to Fit.

Welcome..... I need that support, too, so we're all supporting and cheering for each other.

About the tracker (or ticker), I think you can just click on the one in my siggy and go from there. It is very easy to set up. At the end it will give you 3 formats to copy and paste to your DIS signature (when you set one up). You want to copy the code from the first (or top) box. You can set up your DIS siggy by going to User CP on the top left of the screen. I think one of the very top options is edit signature. That's where you want to go.

Hope this helps.

I have a hula DVD too, but haven't tried it yet. Do you like it? I do a lot of yoga at home but thought I'd give something new a try.

It's hard! I'm not much of a dancer, though, and I can't quite get the hips swaying and arms moving and feet stepping all together yet. I can do the moves she starts with (basically stepping side to side and forward, don't remember the hula names), but the one where you swing your knees out and another stepping one, I'm just not doing right. But I'm having fun trying! It's Kili, Cardio Hula for Beginners. There's only one 30 minute workout so it's repetitive.

I'd like to join in here. I started WW last year and lost 29 lbs. Then we went to WDW in September and I never got back on the plan when we returned. I gained 15 lbs between then and now. So hard to take it off, so easy to put it back on.

I am back on the plan and hope to lose 36 lbs (my original 50 lb goal less what I have already lost) this year.

My weigh in day is Wednesday so hopefully I will have something to add next week.

I'm not on Weight Watchers but will weigh myself on Fridays starting today and I was a little shocked to see the number on the scale! But 2007 is the year to lose weight! I just know it! (Also eating four South Beach Diet Peanut Butter cookies and a whole small bag of Sour Cream and Onion Quaker Rice Snacks like I did today is not the way to do it :rolleyes: ). I would like to lose 28 lbs. this year.

onward and downward!

You're welcome. I put my actual weight on mine, so I don't care for mine right now either, BUT I'm going to love seeing it move across as I lose weight. I weigh myself on Sundays, and I know I'll have at least some loss. Can't wait to see how much. I'm hoping for 2 lbs. We'll see.

01-06-2007, 09:44 PM

Is it too late to join? I need to lose about 30 pounds. I had a baby in June, so I have a lot of baby weight to lose. My little girl was 7 weeks premature and was in the NICU for a couple of weeks- I'm a stress eater, so I actually gained weight right after she was born. I started WW online in Oct. and attend baby boot camp classes twice a week and so far I've lost 12 pounds. I wish I could lose weight a little faster, but I don't think that will happen until I'm not breastfeeding anymore. My weigh-in is every Fri. morning and yesterday I lost half a pound.

I was the same way - I just wasn't losing the weight, no matter what I did, until he stopped nursing. And all my friends who BFed lost all the baby weight, plus some, immediately of course. :sad2:

I weighed in this morning, and have lost 1.2 for the week so that brings us to 27.8 I still need to lose 1.8lbs of holiday weight then I will be were my ticker says I am.
I am having surgery on Wednesday so I won't be weighing in on Saturday, but will check in on the following Saturday (1/20). Great job, everyone!:hug:

Take it easy after your surgery and don't over do things.

I weighed in this morning, and I'm down 2 lbs. That brings our total loss for the year to 29.8. Wooo Hoooo!!! I'm so excited for all of us.

I would love to join. I just came back from weeks in Florida and my weight loss didn't continue.

Well, as of today I am 202. I can't wait to lose weight!

What a great idea

01-07-2007, 08:45 PM

I'd love to join! Count me in. I am at my highest weight ever, I am a big time stress eater and it's been a very stressful year. I think this board is just the thing I need. I'm looking forward to giving and getting support from everyone. I weigh in Sundays, my weight lost for this week is 1 pound.

Strommie

Hi everyone, I am a new member, and I have weighed myself this morning. Will post my result next Monday :thumbsup2 Everyone is doing so well on here, and it's nice to know there is somewhere I can come to get lots of support :grouphug: I have around 70lbs to lose, and am doing WW but not going to meetings.

Good luck for this week everyone :wizard:

01-08-2007, 08:21 AM

Ok I weighed in today and I lost 2 lbs last week. The last WISH total I see is 37 so with wardfamily1's 1 pound and my 2 pounds looks like we're at 40 ladies!

I am doing WW too. Have a good week!

JJ&JSMOM

01-08-2007, 08:23 AM

I was the same way - I just wasn't losing the weight, no matter what I did, until he stopped nursing. And all my friends who BFed lost all the baby weight, plus some, immediately of course. :sad2:

It was the same w/me. Everyone would say BF would help me lose weight. Ha - my body did not react well to dieting while BF - it held right on. I keep my rolly polly shape for the whole year until DD turned 1 - she stopped on her own exactly on her b-day! Then my dieting started (somewhat :laughing:). Take care all.

Cruise04

01-08-2007, 08:02 PM

As of this morning I was down 3.5 pounds!!!!! I haven't lost any weight during a month in I don't know how long. It felt so good to see that scale down that I had to step on it twice!!!!! I'm going to probably have to make my weigh ins be on Wednesday's because it's dumb for me to weigh in on a Monday. So I'll update again on Wednesday and then go on Wednesday's from now on.

So that makes a total of....

52.7

AWESOME job everyone!!!! Keep up the good work.

lajones81

01-08-2007, 09:35 PM

{{{{HUGS}}}} Please don't be ashamed because you have made two important steps to changing, you joined WW and you shared your weight, those are two big steps. When I first started I was 218 pounds and I was ashamed and felt hopeless, but I am here today as proof you can change and lose. Set small goals for yourself and reward yourself as you reach those goals. Come to WISH often for support and you will be on your way!!!

Welcome to all, the more the merrier!!!

lajones81, Please don't dwell on that. I, too, started the New Year at my all time high, so I know that it is easier said than done. We know what we have to do, so let's just do it. I look forward to starting 2008 as a healthier new me and I'm excited about looking back and seeing all I have accomplished. (Pssttt.... I'm trying to decide if I want to try for next year's Disney marathon -- well, 1/2 marathon.... okay, maybe 5K. Even when I was in great shape, I was not a runner. I think training toward something may help keep me motivated though.)

Don't be ashamed!!! I'm at my highest ever, too--the important thing is, we've all decided to do something about it!!! :thumbsup2

Belated thank yous to all three of you, as well as everyone else. This first week has really been tough, but, frankly, I love seeing how much we are all losing as a community!

I do not do well losing as an individual because it seems so overwhelming sometimes. I like this part of "being a team" because to me some of the pressure is off. Yes, I need to get healthy still, but it's not all about me...I hope that makes sense.

Let's kick those pounds to the curb! :)

denecarter

01-08-2007, 09:43 PM

Ok, this is my first try at this... and I am a guy, so I am kinda slow, but sin Jan 2 I am down 6 lbs... My goal is to lose 55 lbs.

Am I doing this right?

chamonix

01-09-2007, 11:22 AM

add your 6 pounds to the TOTAL for everyone on this thread. Before you, the total was 61.6+6= 67.6

BUT--now adding my 7 pound loss: 67.6+7=74.6

catherine

01-09-2007, 11:57 AM

I just had my first weigh in and I've lost 8lbs that means that 8 + 74.6 the new total is 82.6 :thumbsup2

I'm in and I'm down a pound since Jan. 1. I'll weigh in again next Monday.

Tink33

01-09-2007, 12:36 PM

I am back on WISH track and have lost 3 pounds in the first week of 2007.

82.6 + 3 = 85.6

lorli

01-09-2007, 03:52 PM

I'm on LA so I weigh in like 3 times a week but maybe I sould only post once a week, but I did contribute last week and will contribute again on Saturday. I love cheering and being cheered for. Way to go everyone. You are all such beautiful people.

Disney1fan2002

01-09-2007, 05:11 PM

Hi all!

I weigh in on Wednesdays. I am on WW's. If you want to count my loss from last week I had a .8 loss after the new year.

I can't wait for tomorrow's WI. I have stayed OP all week, and I have been drinking my water and going to the gym.

Saturday was 65 degrees here, I went out and walked a mile!

tiggerlover

01-09-2007, 08:54 PM

So much to recap, but we have a new total. Before Tink33's loss we had a pound for 02bacelt, then adding in .8 for Disney1fan2002 we have a new total of 87.4 pounds gone.

But unfortuneately, not only did I start this thread and post the first weigh loss, I am also going to be the one to post the first gain. I weighed in tonight and guess I celebrated my birthday one too many days this week and I have gained .4. So our new total is 87 pounds gone for 2007.

I also want to add my personal congratulations to a big bunch of "losers":
Cruise04, denacarter, jayna22, schnerk, chamonix, Catherine, 02bacelt, Tink33 and Disney1fan2002!!! Great job everyone!!!

One last word to lajones81, you are so right, teamwork is important and we are all so lucky to be part of such an awesome team! Some weeks we are going to have losses and some weeks we will have gains, this is life, but how lucky we are to have such a great support group among us!

Onward and downward gang!!!!

Princess Michelle

01-10-2007, 08:53 AM

tiggerlover ~ I'm sorry that you had a gain but at least it was a small one, you will get that off and more in no time! :hug:

We still have an amazing total! 87lbs. is so awesome! I'm still betting we hit 100 before the week is over! :banana:

rkandmjsmommy

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am asking permission to join in. I, too, am at my all-time high and so disgusted with myself. I went shopping for a new pair of khaki pants yesterday and they all looked so awful I can't stand it.

I did weight this a.m., so maybe Wednesday will be my day. I have done WW in the past and am going to try to stay on program myself (we'll see how that goes).

I can really use the support of a group and look forward to "losing" with you all.

Whoo hoo!!!!! We hit 100 pounds!!! How awesome!!! What a team!!!
I am down 1.6 to bring us to 102.6
That's almost a whole person!!!

Tiggerlover- What a great idea this thread is. It's so much fun to come on and check out the total, and so motivating to stay on track to see that number climb. Good luck this week.

Keep up the great work everyone!!!

Disney1fan2002

Thanks for the warm welcomes and congrats to those who have lost!!!

Yesterday was my real day 1 and I stayed on program!!!!!:cool1: :banana: Babysteps, babysteps.

I went out shopping the other day and was so disgusted. Beyond what I looked like, it was very difficult to find anything I like. I am only 43 and don't want pull-on poly pants, but when I went to Macy's, all the pants were low-rise. I am not sure who thought low rise pants on overweight women were a great idea, :eek: but give me a break.

I also went in Lane Bryant to look for jeans. Every single pair of jeans had embroidery on the back pockets. Just what I want. Like my butt isn't big enough, let's put some embroidery back there to draw more attention.:confused:

I guess it's C.J. Banks and Coldwater Creek for me. Scales showed some movement this a.m., but I plan to only post loss once a week.

Nice meeting everyone!

115 Whoo hoo. That's awesome!!

Congrats to everyone here. Great work.

Congrats to you disneyeveryyear for staying on track!!! You can do it!! I have done the shop all day and never find anything too. I have bought a couple pair of jeans at Kohl's- one was Lee and one was GloriaVanderbilt that were low waist, but not too low. Felt weird at first but then I got used to them. And I liked them better than my high waist jeans cuz the waist didn't cinch in all the flab and leave a big roll over the top of my pants. They do have embroidery on the pockets, but I think it's subtle. Good luck.

I love the Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. They're pretty much all I ever wear, because they fit my butt without squeezing my middle. Most jeans are made for women with butts and a slender waist, which just ain't me!
Okay, it's not much, but I'll add to our wonderful loss with my little partial pound...0.6 lbs lost, for a total of 115.6!

This board is very motivational. I don't want to mess up during the week because I don't want let anyone down (including myself!) and deduct from our total loss. I'm looking forward to Sunday to adding my loss to the list.:cool1:

I am so glad that this thread has become so motivational to so many and it is a great way to stay on track.

Just remember we are all living life and there will be gains in addition to those losses so I hope everyone will still come around even if they have a bad week. After a bad week this may be just what someone needs to get back on the track.

Onward and downward!!

WOW! we really are on our way. I WI on Wednesday, so I hope to add a bit to the total! It seems it took me forever to hit under 210(stayed there for nearly 3 months, with a few adds and losses again). I want to be under 200 for my next birthday. Sept. I know I can do it!

Anxious for Wednesday!

Jayna - don't say "only" .5. Any loss is a step in the right direction, and it is certainly better than a gain. Here is what I say to a loss of .5 :yay: party: With your current loss of over 60 lbs. and 5 sizes, you can be an inspiration to all of us just starting.

Don't give up and stay the course.

Where are you in Central IL? As you can see, that is my area also.

Congrats to all the others who are watching the scale move down. I didn't jot down everyone's names, but I am watching and feeling motivated by everyone else's losses.

Hello everyone!

Today is a new day for me. We just bought into the DVC at SSR. My DH and I have decided to participate in the half-marathon and I found this board. Can life get much better???

I would love to participate and get some much needed motivatonal help!

Thanks.

And it's a great new day. I wish I could get my dh to agree to DVC. I just I'll just have to settle for being a renter until then. Have you been to the events board at the top of the page? Lots of people training for all sorts of races up there. Welcome, and I look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi everyone,

I weighed in this morning, and I'm down 1 more pound. That puts our total at 191.6. I was hoping for more, but indulged a bit the last couple of nights. However, I'll take a pound lost over a pound gained any day.

Well I am checking in for the first time since my surgery 12 days ago. I gained .2 lbs, but since I haven't been able to exercise and have eaten whatever is in the house, I don't think it is so bad. So that puts our WISH total at 207.1 (sorry guys :sad2: ) I will post again next week...with a loss!

A stiff upper lip to all that had a gain.

01-24-2007, 12:21 PM

Sorry, guys, I had an off-week. :( Well, I can pretend it's muscle, because I have been working out as well. But slacking on the water and calorie control. I'll do better in two weeks, once DH leaves.

Up 2.5 pounds, total 225.1

Don't be sorry. It's takes alot of guts to admit to a gain. I'm sure you'll do better next week.

Thanks so much for all your encouragement...sorely needed on a day like today when it is freezing here in the Northeast and the temps are supposed to be at below zero windchill all week. Makes it hard to exercise outside and the treadmill works, but it is just not the same!
Thanks for the support, ladies...some days it can feel like we still have so much to lose yet, so it can be tough, but have faith in yourselves.. I know that you can do it!!
