It took me forever to find this thread! OK, fess up, how many of you have fallen off the wagon? I know I have! Starting tomorrow I'm stepping on those scales to get my starting point and if I make it through the holidays, I'll be ready for the New Year!

[PolynesianPixie]

Oh you just HAD to do that, didn't you! Couldn't leave this thread well enough alone, could you? :lmao: I fell off the wagon so long ago that I can't even see the darn wagon anymore! I went to the doc today......I'm in denial of what the scale said.

Yes....I need help. I'm guessing the cookies I just ate aren't the help I need.:rolleyes1

[VACAMPER]

I refuse to discuss this issue. :rolleyes1

[RvUsa]

I am calling the insurance company today to get the ball rolling on my weight loss surgery! Wish me luck!

[VACAMPER]

good luck john!:cheer2:

[my3princes]

I feel off, weigh off ;) I need to drop about 15 lbs to be where I was a year ago. Problem is I lack motivation. Maybe Disney's big news at 5PM will give me the motivation that I so desparately need.

[Just Beachy]

Hey, Tent Camping Mom.... THANKS a LOT for finding this thread!! :headache: Now I have to fess up to all of you that I'm WAY off the wagon. Not only can I no longer see that darned wagon, but it ran me over on the way out of town!:lmao: After this trip to Disney with the gals, I'm back on program, though. I promise....

[lucy_love]

I stayed on :confused:

I am now at 123 and my highest weight ever was roughly 175, but when I started my diet at the end of June I was 166.

I am finding it hard to get motivated to work out when its no longer swim suit season! How can you all diet during the Holidays? Whats the plan of attack here :rotfl:

[We4mickey]

Wait there was a wagon? I guess I not only fell off it, but missed it entirely. I have to admit, now that vacation is over I have been thinking about it again. One of the girls at work is going to start and it is always easier when someone does it with you. I may not be one the wagon, but I think I will at least put my skates on :laughing:

I have seen pictures of you, you don't qualify. You are way to skinny! :thumbsup2

Good luck with this! Feel free to PM me with any questions that may come up. It was the best decision I ever made.

Thanks Allison, I am sure I will, between you and Rog, I think a got a pretty cool little support group in the making!

I called, and my 1st appointment is the 25th, it is a group seminar thingy, but it is how they get started. I called the insurance co, and it looks good there, they gave me the "if you got this and this and this" spheel... and I was like check check check and check.... LOL

So I guess I am on the way. My hope is by the time I get to the Oct 09 GG and may be down 50lbs or so. :thumbsup2

[PolynesianPixie]

Thats so great John! I'm really glad you're doing this for you.....I bet when its all done you'll realize how much more life you have to live! You have unending support here! Don't ever forget that!

[Us3]

Best of luck to you John! My SIL had the same surgery about 2 years ago. This past summer she had a second surgery for extra skin. She had some great docs and she looks and feels amazing now. However the second surgery was very very hard on her as far as recovery goes.

I'll be praying for you!

The holidays are going to be tough but I don't really plan to do a lot of "dieting," I want to get off my butt and start moving again. I've been on hiatus for awhile and if I can get started back to exercising and start feeling better, I'll be ready to start my New Year's resolutions of eating healthy and exercising more.

I on the other hand need a little fire lit under my butt. Well, lets be honest, if it's little and under my butt-I won't see it. Ok, I need a bon fire under my butt! Thanks for bringing this thread back up so I can cry all day! J/K-ok,ok, I'm getting back on the wagon-after I catch up with it.

[RNmomnFL]

Well, I'm down five pounds in the last couple weeks due to a bad tooth. I've had an appointment at the dentist twice but I had to cancel as one of the kids was sick and home from school. I'm tired of soft foods and no junk although I don't mind the weight loss. :(

I'm having a wisdom tooth extracted on Monday, maybe I'll lose some too (in addition to the weight of my tooth that is :lmao: ) The last time I had a wisdom tooth removed I developed a dry socket...didn't eat for a week! But I'd rather have quintuplets without drugs than to go through that again! :sick:

[VACAMPER]

Its Amanda's fault I fell off that wagon :laughing:

Yeah, i pushed her. Then i gave her a cookie.:laughing:

[PolynesianPixie]

Apparently I can't totally blame Amanda. Genetics is playing a part. It looks like I am a neanderthal. I just read an article in national Geographic about new discoveries on cave women. Apparently the average Neanderthal female was red-headed, fair skinned, 5'2 and 146 lbs. They needed to be sturdily built for the hunt. So much for evolution! :confused:

Bumping this for the New Year!!

[Just Beachy]

Thanks, Carol. :headache: :laughing:
I'm going to give it another go for 2009. Hope this time is successful....for good! :goodvibes

[auntie]

I took the dog for a walk today..does that count. :confused3 The dog appreciated it! :)
Baby steps..or doggie steps...either way, I MOVED! :laughing:

[PolynesianPixie]

Oh fine. I'm in too. Blah!

[Rhonda]

FINE!

I had potato chips for dinner tonight, so I guess I have to do something! :rolleyes1

[lucy_love]

I just had a regular coke :eek:

but I'm going to the fort tomorrow so maybe i will get some MK walking in :thumbsup2

since I have been home (winter break from school) I feel like I gained 10 pounds back :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

back on the train after the new year!

good luck everyone :goodvibes

[seabee]

I'm hopin on the carriage ride too. I gained 3 lbs over this whole holiday season. I NEED to do something, so I am starting over. Besides, how can my kids camp outside if I'm wearing the tent!

[We4mickey]

Oh Carol you just had to go and bump this up again! I keep saying I am going to do it and I keep floundering. Honestly though count me in. My hours have gotten cut way back at work so I will have more time to excersize. I just hope I don't sit and snack the day away with all this extra time on my hands.

[Just Beachy]

Where is everyone? It's already Jan 5 and nobody's posted that they started their weight loss program.... :confused3
Okay then, I'll start. I woke up this morning and forgot that I was starting a program today! :lmao: But Amanda reminded me and luckily I hadn't done anything damaging by 9:30 so I'm starting today. Just gonna try the weightwatchers program on my own and exercising. I've got my fingers crossed that this works!

Anyone else?

[clkelley]

OK, not really any kind of plan, but back to basics.

Every bit of junk food is now gone from the house from the holidays, and started today with my lowfat yogurt and oatmeal for breakfast.

I'm just hoping to maintain what I did lose last year. I gained a couple pounds over Christmas.

[VACAMPER]

I'm in a stare down with my treadmill...does that count?

[2goofycampers]

I'm in a stare down with my treadmill...does that count?

Only if you do it all day and don't make any trips to the frig. ;)

[Just Beachy]

Speaking of treadmills..... does anyone know of a decent/good, smaller, portable, foldable, light-weight treadmill out there? I really need to get one and I have very limited space. Thanks! :goodvibes

[bord1niowa]

If I take a Brisk walk to the kitchen and only take 1 chocolate covered bavarian creme, does that count?:lmao:

[PolynesianPixie]

Ok. I just set my weight and took the "healthy eating habits" quiz on Weight watchers.com

Let the dieting begin!!!!

[Tent Camping Mom]

Way to go Ami...that's a great start! :thumbsup2

I think I need a drill sergeant to get my butt in gear. I joined Sparkpeople a long time ago and I'm doing fairly well with my eating habits but I can't seem to get my rump moving.

[2goofycampers]

Here is a thread on the community board of a man's journey with diet and exercise that is helpful and funny.

Hey guys! Hope you don't mind if I crash your party. I did Jenny Craig last year and did great--- until our October trip to the Fort it was all a downhill ride on Splash Mountain after that. So, after today it's back to Jenny for me. I have a membership at the Planet Fitness near me and I went once but forgot and wore flip flops:rotfl:

[RvUsa]

Ok, todays the big day for me, I actually meet the doctor today! And the insurance may actually pay for this one....:lmao: Wish me luck!

Welcome to everyone!!!! Congrats to John! Please please keep us informed every step of the way so we can go through this with you!

So far so good! Do we have an official weigh in day? Is Friday still the day to report our progress??

[Tent Camping Mom]

I assumed weigh-in is Friday so I braced myself for an initial shock as I stepped on the scales this morning...didn't realize it would send me into a coma :scared1: Hopped off and sat down and started planning. I need, really need to lose 20 pounds before mid-March. Is that unrealistic?

Calories will be no more than 1600 a day (logging into Sparkpeople), keeping fiber high, sodium low, and a 30/50/20 ratio of protein/carbs/fat.

Exercise will be no less than 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Exercise may consist of any or all: Biking, walking, treadmill, and weightlifting. If walking or treadmill, I must do at least 60 minutes at one time.

My main problem is going to be getting up and moving. It helped alot way back when I would track my minutes using a monthly goal. So I think I'll try that again. This month's goal will be 1000 minutes.

Anyone else?

[stacktester]

About 20 people from our neighborhood started in a Johns Creek Biggest Loser contest today. A certified trainer took our weight and measurements today and we go each Sunday to weigh in. You can call in your weight if your not able to come but you have to come obviously to the last weigh in which is the most important anyway. She gave us some tips and said one of the worse things you can eat trying to lose this weight is the diet meals in a box. She said the preservatives alone will retain things you don't want. I've got about 30 pounds to lose and not really into winning it but it sure gives a reason to at least try and have some will power. It cost $20 to join and if you gain any weight you pay $2 per pound so I guess that's really a reason to stick to it. Thank God I'm not on the dining plan when we go to Disney this weekend.

[Tent Camping Mom]

That sounds like fun! And motivational! Good luck on the game. :goodvibes

[Just Beachy]

I don't know why I thought Monday was weigh-in day, but that's what I did. I got on the scale this morning and I lost 2 lbs. It's not a lot, but it's a good start! Just think, if I could lose 2 lbs a week for six months, that's almost 50 lbs! Two lbs a week for a year is 104 lbs!! :woohoo: Ok, I'm getting ahead of myself here, but you know what I'm getting at. I think I've been looking too far ahead all the other times I've tried this. Maybe just looking at smaller goals is the way to go. Like 25 lbs at a time. Anyway, I'm off to a good start. :goodvibes

[BigDaddyRog]

Ok, todays the big day for me, I actually meet the doctor today! And the insurance may actually pay for this one....:lmao: Wish me luck!

Congrats John...how'd it go????


I...for the first time in many years...have finally fallen into the 250 range!!! This morning I weighted in at 259......9 more pounds and they'll let me take the Fort Segway tour!!!

Is this why you've been so silent lately? Have you just been busy losing weight and getting fit and haven't had time for us? :rolleyes1 :lmao:

[RNmomnFL]

Good job to all those losing weight & exercising! Glad to report that I've lost 18 lbs. over the past year. If you recall, I've had some dental issues which is helping in this. I've been walking again & am going to work on resuming strength training. Also, must drink more water. Onward!

[Tent Camping Mom]

Arg! The only thing I keep losing is this thread!

I haven't lost an ounce but on the brighter side, I haven't gained either. I need to exercise and I have eaten out and overeaten a few times since I started back (at Biergarten I had enough to last me two days...oh and their Ultima Oktoberfest beer was awesome!)

Plan B: Baseball season is starting for DS so I will be able to exercise then and starting Monday we (DH, DS, and I) are planning on hitting the fitness center after work on the days when there's no baseball practice.

How's everyone doing?

[djblu883]

well since starting the new job and being back at home after almost 5 years on the road...I've lost 5 pounds in the first 3 weeks!!!!...and have had little time to be on the net....maybe that's a good thing all the way around...I'm not on here enough to know if you guys still talk bad about me or not lolol...Good Luck to all in the on going battle !!!

I don't believe that food is 4 years old unless she did something to it herself. A McDonald's french fry isn't soft and greasy after a few hours, much less at 4 years old.

Holy crap!!! I nver thought about this till I watched this video...and Im a little embarrassd to admit this...but I mentioned trading in a van yesterday on another thread, well....before I turned it in I had to clean it out of any personal junk that we needed out of it...and I found half a Mcdonalds burger all the way in the back of the van (damn disgusting kids!!) I dont know how old it actually was, but the van usually just sat in my driveway except for family trips and we hadnt used it for at least six months before I traded it.....and god knows how long it had been there before THAT 6 month stretch. My point is...other than being hard as a brick (like the one in the video) it didnt LOOK like it had begun to rot at all, and although I have no senese of smell...I showed it to the wife while I was complaining about how careless our kids are...and she most certainly would have screamed at me for bringing in a stinky rotting hamburger in and putting it in her face...so it apparently didnt smell like rotten beef either!!!

Really makes you think, doesnt it?:scared:

[GOBA Mom Lynn]

Well, that was interesting!

The only trouble I have with her whole thing is that she was comparing a McD fry with a "fry" from a raw potato. At least I don't think she said anything about cooking it, she just said she cut up a potato. Anyway, if you're going to compare things, make them equal. Maybe a fresh-fried potato would look that good in 3 yrs, too. Maybe not. Same with the hamburger.

I'm not an employee of McDonald's or anything, just trying to see the other side. Besides I try not to eat at any kind of fast food place more than maybe twice a month. I do like Big Macs though.:rolleyes:

If you really want to get grossed out, and never eat fast food again, read the book "Fast Food Nation". I forget who wrote it, but it came out about 5 years ago. It's about the beef, chicken and potato industries and how McDonald's basically owns them all.

All this talk has me thinking "DIET!!!!" again. Only 20+ days till I have to get into a swimsuit-- in public.:faint: On the plus side, it will be in a newly refurbished pool at FW!

[Just Beachy]

You know what they say - Out of sight, out of mind. :guilty:

This is suppose to be the best diet ever, got to be true I seen it on Extra !

I joined a fitness center today. This is the first time in my life I belong to a gym. I just want to say thank you for the motivation. :hug:

that's great, kelly. now join us on fat chat on monday nights :)... we have to get that going again. i have been working out good this week. i hope to keep the exercise going myself. i think a lot of us need to join a gym. i just buy my equipment and watch it get dusty (lol)... good luck!

Hi Everyone! Had to unfortunately take a hiatus from Disney and The Fort for almost 18 months....terrible divorce...but did want to tell all my old friends from this thread that I have lost 62 pounds over the last 16 months! The 4 kids and I are doing well, and will actually be in Disney in May for my daughter's Sixteenth Birthday! :) Aly

So....are you saying we're going to love you less? NEVER!!! Take it slow at first so as not to get discouraged.

When I went to my doctor Wednesday, he offered me this bit of wisdom...."You didn't put on the weight overnight, so don't expect to lose it overnight. I will be happy if you lose 5 lbs by your next visit." My next visit is February 2nd - if I can't lose 5 lbs by then, someone shoot me!!

Good luck, Kelly!

[ntsammy5]

I've lost a lot of weight since September.

[des1954]

I've lost a lot of weight since September.

:confused3:confused3:confused3

Did you go back to the gym since getting back from WDW? You said you were going to.

Rick & I are back to bike riding. When I was at the Dr on Wednesday, I asked him just how bad Rick's arthritis was in his knees. He said it really was pretty bad - and would probably be looking at partial or full replacements in the next 4-5 years. Shame on me for thinking Rick's a wussy. Weight loss & bike riding are his only hope.

[4mickey2]

Nobody is coming back to johns thread... Did you all give up after the gg. It's been just me and frank (he's been a chear leader (lol).

Well, i have been doing 30 minutes 5 - 6 days a week on the treadmill or elliptical. Keep on biking debbie and how's that gym membership kelly..

Way to go alylynn and al on the weightloss. I love working out during the biggest loser. Jillian and bob are in the house on tuesdays.. Lol

good luck everyone..

[Just Beachy]

I have some rotten luck. I got sick right after I joined the gym. I'm going tomorrow morning for my first workout and orientation. I figure everyone will be out shopping, so hopefully I'll have the place to myself! :thumbsup2 I will really try to get on John's chat, too. Is it Monday night still? I LOVE Jillian and Bob. I wish I could live at the ranch. :worship:

Keep up your good work! I will try to join Frank in the cheerleading. I have a feeling that he's the best cheerleader ever, though! He's awesome!

[4mickey2]

hey kelly hows the gym going?

man, i just got my bum kicked by jillian michaels. lol i bought one of her dvds and omg, i am afraid to know what i will be like getting out of bed tomorrow morning. i think i will have to get up about a half hour earlier just to get my body moving. lol

i also want to say that i bought jillians protein shake powder stuff. i used a yoplait smoothie mix (frozen fruit and yogurt) with the shake and it is really good.

just thought i would bump the thread... spring is around the corner and we are heading to the fort in 46 days and i need motivation.

:)

[Just Beachy]

Hey Cheryl! The gym is going well! :thumbsup2 I joined a zumba class, too. Lots of sweating....good fun. :lmao: So, even though the scale isn't really moving, my clothes are fitting better.

Jillian Michaels is tough! If she was my personal trainer, I'd be skinny right now! Keep up the good work! Thanks for bumping the thread. You're right...spring will be here before we know it!!! I can't wait. I'm so tired of the snow!!!

[4mickey2]

you know the weather is finally decent (at least here it is) and we have a few more gg's coming up. i think we need to get this party started again.

i know there are quite a few of you that are walking/biking and so on. so, let's post when we can. let's try to post at least once a week. let us know if you are trying a new class, etc and how it is going. like kelly with her zumba. that sounds like so much fun. but, i don't dance, never have, never will. lol

i would prefer kick-boxing. oh yeah...

so far this week i have walked a hilly, 2.6 miles for 50 minutes on sunday, monday and wednesday. i couldn't walk tuesday because it was raining and we had a 4 hour night class.

so, who else wants to chime in???

[fldisneymommyto2]

I have been rollerblading about 1/2 hour a night. Today I reached my first weight loss goal this time around. I have officially lost 30lbs. I wanted to lose it before my vacation and I had 2.5 weeks to spare.... maybe I'll hit 35????

[AuburnJen92]

OK, I will chime in. I went to the Dr. a couple of months ago to see about some blood work that was taken and got the major lecture of my life. Since then (late March) I have been on a strict regiment from the Dr. I am down over 30lb and still going. Yesterday, I donated some more pounds (a foot of my hair) to Locks of Love, so that should help some too!:laughing: Since this is the first week of summer break, I am running around with my head cut off doing all the stuff I couldn't do while at work, so hopefully I will get in a routine and start my walking in the morning and get some more off. I am on medication, so I have to go in every month and have the BP, blood work and weight done, but it is worth it to me. I have very little appetite and my husband says I eat like a bird. Plus, I have my energy back now. :banana:

[4mickey2]

WOW! THAT IS SO AWESOME. CONGRATS ON REACHING YOUR GOAL.

i am just re-starting, lol, my exercise program. no goals other than to walk every night that i can. :)

Keep up the great work fldisneymommyto2 and jen!

maybe you will be off those meds soon, jen. that is awesome. see something is in the air... lol

[AuburnJen92]

psst, I like the meds, they are weight loss meds....shhhhhh;)

[fldisneymommyto2]

Great job Jen!!!! I find it easier to loose weight in the summer than during school. For some reason when I am in my classroom, I am hungry all the time!!! My next goal is to be down at least another 10 lbs before we go back to school which is around August 2nd! I know it doesn't sound like much, but I am going easy on myself as we will be in Cancun for a week!!

[Gatordad]

psst, I like the meds, they are weight loss meds....shhhhhh;)

which ones? Gimme some.

[AuburnJen92]

make an appointment with my gyn....he's a good guy!:laughing:

[Gatordad]

I prefer mine to be women. Only women can touch my betty.

[AuburnJen92]

suit yourself:rotfl2:

[Just Beachy]

Unfortunately I am not going to the gym anymore. I had to stop going for financial reasons. Anyway, I've been looking into WLS and in preparation for it, the nutritionist put me on a low carb diet. So far I'm down 8 lbs!! :thumbsup2

Jen, what are you taking? Maybe that would be better for me than surgery.... :confused3

[auntie]

Do tell...I can use a bottle. ::yes:: Or two...or three, or ....well, you get the idea!:laughing:

Gastric Bypass saved me from a heep of future trouble. I was athletic in HS and college and easily burned of the 5 meals a day I consumed. When I got side lined with a knee injury I did not change my eating habits and put a ton of weight on in a hurry. Fast foward 14 years, my hip started to collapse into itself (due to my weight and old injuries catching up to me) and I had to get my weight under control or I would be sitting in a wheel chair watching my kids and not be able to do the activities with them. After many different failed weight lose methods, 2 1/2 years ago I had gastric bypass done and lost over 200 pounds. I am half the person I used to be (literally) and am able to roll around in the grass with my 2, 5 and 7 y/o kids. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

[fldisneymommyto2]

That is awesome wak648!!!!!!
I am also on meds.. from a weight loss clinic... they kill my appetite... better than breaking my elbows :lmao:

[Gatordad]

I am officially on my way to being thin. No beer for me for awhile.... No food either.

[polkadotsuitcase]

Kinda thread drift (sorry), but I was at the doctor's yesterday for bloodwork. While I was waiting for the tech (and waiting, and waiting), I was sitting right next to the scale. I usually don't take off my shoes when they weigh me (sneakers, usually). So I weighed myself. Then I took off my sneakers and hoodie. FOUR POUND difference! I didn't think it would be that much. They're just your normal sneakers and a 'Canes hoodie.

So there's a quick weight loss story right there! :goodvibes

When it's your choice to do this, it's a good thing. When diabetes forces you to do this, it sucks. (Oh, that's a different thread). I knew of & understood the word "moderation" since I was a child - but never put it into practice. I'm paying for it now. It's a PITA to hold yourself back when you are used to eating and drinking as you wish, but for your health's sake, do it now while your body can still forgive you. It's too late for me.

Wow Kelly, that is soon. I wish you the best with it. You know though, now I am going to have to get on the bandwagon. I don't want you showing me up on the cruise wearing your bikini!:thumbsup2

time to go for walk... walks are good!

[Just Beachy]

Ok...I figured it's time to post. I'm 4 weeks post-op. I'm down 25 lbs :woohoo: and I feel GREAT!!!!! I've been walking. Tuesday evening I walked 2.5 miles. Last night at my support group meeting I asked my Dr if I can start to REALLY exercise and he gave me the green light. :banana: My diabetes is resolved, and my blood pressure is totally normal! No more meds!!! I'm so happy. This is the BEST thing I've ever done for myself. My only regret is not doing it sooner!!!!

[auntie]

Down about 160ish, and still going I hope!

[fldisneymommyto2]

For those of you that had surgery... how overweight were you? How was the surgery? Did insurance pay for it? Which kind did you have? Thanks

[Just Beachy]

MY goal is 140 lost. My DR & NUTRITIONIST are looking for me to be down 100 by June. My surgery went fine....no problems. Honestly, my insurance is great...and I KNOW I'm very fortunate there. I had the sleeve done. My Dr is awesome!!! :goodvibes I'm 4.5 wks out and am down 27 lbs. :woohoo:

[Just Beachy]

Down about 160ish, and still going I hope!

AWESOME!!!!!! I'm so happy for and proud of you!!! :cool1:

[4mickey2]

you guys are both doing great! keep it up and we won't know who you are next time we see you. ok, we probably really won't recognize you. :)

[fldisneymommyto2]

that is awesome..thanks for answering my questions! I really wish my mom would have this done. If you lose 140 will that put you in a normal BMI range or is that just what your Dr would like to see?

[RvUsa]

I had the roux en y, and the surgery wasn't that bad, the recovery sucked!!! I had some complications and almost died!!! LOL I was, according to the BMI chart, 300 overweight, but I am 6'8" and it says I should be about 180 ish, and if I was that skinny, I could be a skeleton for halloween and not need a costume LOL.

My insurance was a PITA, but I am also fighting them on my heart problem as well, so I am not a good one to ask. They did pay for it in the end, but was a fight to get there.

I would be very happy if I lost about 100 more!

[LORNADUCK]

The both of you are doing sooooo good, keep it up. I know it's hard but look at the return.

[AuburnJen92]

I go to the Dr. tomorrow. I will find out where I am then.

[Just Beachy]

that is awesome..thanks for answering my questions! I really wish my mom would have this done. If you lose 140 will that put you in a normal BMI range or is that just what your Dr would like to see?

It would put me at a totally normal bmi. I think they gave me a 100 lb goal for June to keep me on the right track. I told the nutritionist not to worry...I will do better than that! :thumbsup2 Some insurance companies won't cover WLS unless you are over a certain bmi or are at least so many lbs over-weight. I think it all depends on your insurance co. Most weight loss docs also have non-surgical options (ie. pills, shots). Maybe check into that, too, if your mom can't do surgery.

[AuburnJen92]

went to the doc today and I am now at 58 lbs...I am calling it at 60 because I had more clothes on than usual...lol

I got a refill on my script and I am off to the races for another month!:woohoo:

[Just Beachy]

Jen, that's fantastic!!!! :woohoo:

[AuburnJen92]

went to the doc today, 66 and counting

[VACAMPER]

Jen, you are doing awesome...wish i had your will power. Will i recognize you in Dec?

[AuburnJen92]

You will see me in my glory (or not so much! :rotfl2:) when I post Lorna and my mission pictures this weekend....lol

[RvUsa]

Down about 180, but slowing down a little, but I am sure I will loose a bunch soon! Not eating and being in the hospital will do that to ya.... :lmao:

I have about 70-90 more to go, I hope by the end of my recovery from the next operation, I should be pretty much at my goal!

So how does it feel not carrying me +some around anymore?

[freshlybarked]

I just found this thread so I'll add my two cents. I'm going for 25 to 30. I started about 10 weeks ago and I'm down 15 lbs. We will be at FW for Thanksgiving week and I'm hoping to be down another 3 - 5 lbs. by the time we get there. I plan on walking and biking a lot so my goal is to at least hold steady while I'm there. It will be the least I've weighed in about 8 years.

[AuburnJen92]

Jen, you are doing awesome...wish i had your will power. Will i recognize you in Dec?

ask Deb....she saw me this weekend...has not seen me since Memorial Day


I dunno anymore, I look at my stupid idiocy everyday!:rotfl2:

[stefa70]

GREAT JOB!!! I work at a gym, so I have seen the struggles so many have. I've seen it all, surgeries, pills, starvation, anorexia......It just takes time. I always tell people "You didn't gain those pounds in a week, you won't take them off in a week" I haven't even met you, and I'm proud of you! Keep it up!!

At weigh in this morning (after my 3 mile very brisk walk) I've now officially dropped 22 lbs. Whoo Hoo!!!!!

I'm starting to feel like a spring chicken again. :yay:

[SCtigercock]

Congrats all! :thumbsup2

My goal is 80+ by January 2012 and to complete the 1/2 marathon.

Unfortunately, that will probably be the next time we are able to go to the Fort. We were scheduled for the second week in December of this year, but rescheduled to go with my BF and family in July so we had to cancel that trip.

Ya'll are an inspiriation. :worship:

So far, have lost 5 pounds and hope I can keep it going over the holidays.

Stay strong and keep up the good work! :yay:

I had to have a hysterectomy last year and have tried to be very careful with my weight. My Dr. said hysterectomies have nothing to do with weight gain, and I'm not saying she's lying, but in my family, I've seen huge weight gain for the women who have had the surgery. I actually lost 10 pounds after my surgery, but I also 'bout died so part of that was the trauma of everything. I began to slowly gain that back around February, which was okay. But, another 7 has come along with it. I am continuing to walk, drink my water, etc. So I don't know?!?!?! Maybe it's age and my metabolism just ain't what it used to be.:confused: But I'm super excited for you girl! 22 pounds...woo hoo is right!!!!!

Ugh about the hysterectomy! I don't know if it causes weight gain or not, but I do know that the older you get the harder it is to lose and keep off! Fo sho! I've had to take drastic measures and wish the progress would happen faster. I had my weight back fairly close to where I needed to be after my first was born. But after the second one, at age 36, FORGET IT!!! I finally have the motivation to get going. My goal is to parasail over Bay Lake in 2011. This was my goal for the past 2 years as well, but this time it looks like its gonna happen. :banana: (I could have anyway as I'm sure much larger people than me have done it, but I didn't want to share the number if they were to ask.) That sounds stupid doesn't it! Hahahahaha!

I wouldn't worry too much about those 7 pounds. You're still a little bitty thang and you look fantastic! :goodvibes

[MandMLUVMMandDVC]

3 years ago DH & I wanted to do parasailing at Castaway Cay while on a Disney cruise. DCL said we had to 'fly' seperately because our combined weight was over the threshold. That really scared me since I'm afraid of flying & the ocean! But once on the parasailing boat the captain said our 10 pounds overweight was no problem & let us do it together. I loved it!! Since then DH lost 65 pounds, but I found almost all of that, so when booking it for last month's cruise we didn't even ask DCL, just the boat captain & once again no issue. The moral to the story.....don't let weight keep you from doing this!!! You'll love it..... a bird's eye view of CC......

I'm determined to have my weight just where I want it by next trip anyway, so it won't be an issue either way. KFK is restoring her hotness. :lmao:

Helpful Holiday Diet Tips
:santa:


1. If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories

2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, they cancel each other out

3. If you eat standing up, it doesn't count!

4. STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelled backwards

5. If you eat the food off someone else's plate, it doesn't count

6, Cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breakage cause calorie leakage

7. Food used for medicinal purposes have no calories. This includes: any chocolate used for energy, brandy, cheesecake, and Haagen-Daz Ice Cream

8. When eating with someone else, calories don't count if you both eat the same amount

9. Movie-related foods are much lower in calories simply because they are a part of the entertainment experience and not part of one's personal fuel. This includes: Milk Duds, popcorn with butter, Junior Mints, Snickers, and Gummi Bears.

[kampfirekim]

....and Santa removes all fat and calories during the entire month of December. :santa:
