New Years resolutions?

[Launchpad11B]

.

[DVCsince02]

I'm with you Paul. I'm joining the Y next week and my goal is to lose 40 pounds and get healthier.

The other one is to get our "affairs" in order (wills, etc).

[Dismom+two]

My resolution much to my Dr.'s dismay...he would rather have me get into shape and loose weight..I am going to become more organized!!:rolleyes1

[LilGMom]

My resolution is to start taking better care of myself and to stop losing things. I just lost my cell phone last night and sometimes I swear I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached.:sad2:

[cocowum]

My NYR is to lose 10 pounds before the podcast cruise! http://www.myemoticons.com/emoticon-critic/images/sport/bike.gifhttp://www.myemoticons.com/emoticon-critic/images/sport/aerobics.gifhttp://www.myemoticons.com/emoticon-critic/images/sport/skipping.gif

[FireDancer]

I am going to train for and finish my first full marathon.

[scarlett873]

What are your New Years resolutions? :confused3 I'm going to make an attempt at getting in much better shape this year, or at least before the Pod Cast cruise! :thumbsup2And what kind of shape will you be? A triangle? A square? An octagon? :upsidedow

You lose that and we won't be able to see you anymore! :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

[scarlett873]

I guess my resolution is similar to others...I need to get my butt back into the gym. My original goal was to lose 50lbs before the podcast cruise, but that won't happen now...I would at least like to lose a bit though...I don't want fat vacation pictures anymore! :rolleyes1

[mommyceratops]

What are your New Years resolutions? :confused3 I'm going to make an attempt at getting in much better shape this year, or at least before the Pod Cast cruise! :thumbsup2

Yeah! I felt those arms at TSM they were well....I can't even joke about them...they were so pathetic... :rotfl2: :rotfl2: NOT!!

My resolution is to find inner peace....

[IWISHFORDISNEY]

To loose the rest of this weight. I am half way there so at least another 25-30 pounds. Christmas didnt help much but back on track today for me.

[BRobson]

My goal for next year is to get fitter and hopefully tone up the wobbly bits :lmao:

:rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I'm sorry - I thought you said you wanted to get in much better shape!!!

Oh, um, you did. :confused3

Ok, have you looked in the mirror lately?

And you missy - I agree with Brandie!!! Where would you be losing these 10 pounds from? :confused3

[dpuck1998]

I have two, one is to keep off the weight I've lost (just over 40lbs) and the other is to try to relax more. I'm a fairly strict parent and my kids are usually very well behaved. I'm going to try to go a little easier on them! :scared1:

[NC Belle]

NC Beast's resolution is to get into better shape (me too).

I'm resolving to better organizing the closets/bedrooms (declutter).

[kab407]

Having spent the past week observing day trippers from the cruise ships in town, I am going on a diet and getting into a shape other then round.

[simonkodousek]

I actually have two...

1) lose weight by watching what I eat and exercise more often

2) put myself first and stop being constantly taken advantage of

See you in the gym on the Wonder Paul....:rotfl: I'll watch you run circles around me while I get dizzy.

My resolution is to continue to keep my weight off in 2009. I never ever want to go back to this. :sad1:

Wow Aaron! Congrats on your weight loss, you look fantastic! :thumbsup2





And just where would you be losing these 10lbs from??? You lose that and we won't be able to see you anymore! :scared1: :scared1: :scared1:

I hide it well. :teeth: but if I'm forced to put on a bathing suit in public :eek: I won't be able to hide it. :eek:

[calypso*a*go-go]

My New Year's resolution is to not make any New Year's resolutions...(who needs the pressure?). :teeth:

[thatslygirl]

I usually don't make any resolutions for New Year's. It's much like Valentine's Day--I don't think we need a special day in order to celebrate love. So therefore if you want to improve yourself, you don't need a new year to do it. Just do it :)

Great Thread! Wow, I have a few.

My first and most important resolution to me would be to at least maintain my weightloss. I don't want to backtrack!

Next, I want to make sure that I have 'me' time more than I did in 2008. Please don't take me wrong, my intent isn't to sound selfish. I sometime lose sight that I need/deserve it ~ everybody needs to recharge. Yep, I am talking to all those Moms/Dads/Gaurdians/Caregivers out there especially. ;)

Another one would be that I want to make a huge effort at not wasting money of frivolous things.

Well, I am sure I will come up with some more before the turn of the year! I'm looking forward to reading the other resolutions.

[DisneyKevin]

If Launchpad and Cocowum are going to get in better shape....

I'm going to bring peace to the Middle East.

Now I need to lay down ,as this has made me dizzy.:lmao:

[two-foxes]

Mine is to actually stick to our budget and not to touch a credit card....unless it is to put down the down payment of a Disney vacation. And to lose all of the baby weight from this little monkey....so I guess it is my mid-year resolution!

To those of you who want to get in shape for the new year, stick with it! It is kind of sad to see all the NYR folks hit the gym the first of the year, then by the end of February, it is back to the old crowd! Become part of the old crowd and good luck!

[stitchlover]

In 2006 our first family Disney trip encouraged me to get serious about losing weight...I went on to lose 118 and have maintained it since then. I have now put back on 15 pounds and am creeping towards 20. That has to come off and I have to get serious about it. I obviously know how, I just need to quit eating the stuff i know I shouldn't! So my goal is to lose at least 15 pounds by our trip in March. I know I can do it but I have to be serious about it.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Kevin, I'm a woman. I am allowed to be insane about my weight. :crazy:

[katscradle]

The first for me is to quit smoking,:cheer2: as I am starting to have health problems due to the weed. Been a smoker for 27 years.
Second is to lose the 36 lbs I have been stuggling to lose.:thumbsup2
Went and joined at the gym again. Now I just need to get better so I can go.
That also requires putting me first a little every week.

[calypso*a*go-go]

You don't need any resolutions Lisa, you're perfect! But I do have one idea for a resolution for you........you and Alicia should resolve to stop coming up with Disney schemes that empty my wallet!! :rotfl2: You two are the masters of the good deal! :goodvibes

Well, we're still going to come up with Disney schemes, so admit it...you'd rather have us saving money you doing it, right? :teeth:

[dpuck1998]

40lbs! that's great Don. :banana: Just curious, how long did it take you?

About a year, started with a contest at work and three "contest" later I was down 40. I'd still like to lose about 10 more, but if I can keep in the 10lb window I'm in now I'm happy. I went down almost 4 pant sizes and wear Large shirts instead of XL now...but I still like my clothes baggy (I'm a child of the late 80's early 90's)

Lots of working out with a buddy, sports and really focusing on what I eat daily. I still fall off the wagon, but I know I can take it off when I gain a few pounds. Just keep plugg'en away ;)

[UrsulasShadow]

I resolve never to make weight loss my resolution again. The yoyo thing is worse than staying fat. Lost 70 lbs 3 years ago, it's back. So, no. Not that. I'll continue the gym, stay as healthy as I can, and as strong as I can, and let it go at that.

However, I do resolve to hang in there with the new job. Retail pharmacy is DEFINITELY something you do for profit, not fun...and not much profit at that.

[UrsulasShadow]

My resolution is to continue to keep my weight off in 2009. I never ever want to go back to this. :sad1:

And, you look fantastic, Aaron...but I have to honestly say, you looked fantastic when you were heavier, too. Don't take this the wrong way...you're probably a lot happier now, and feel better, too...but you're adorable either way.

[3guysandagal]

#1 - stop smoking
#2 - Win the final podcast cruise (you listening Pete?)

[pixistix]

Lose about 30-40 lbs is on my 2009 agenda. Don't care about making resolutions and breaking them..I HAVE to get in shape. I've been to weight watchers 3 different times and I don't wanna count points! I need something that is not difficult to follow. Any suggestions?
And in addition to losing weight, I want to find a better way to cope with stress. Maybe finally learn how to play golf!
I want to feel good and look healthy when I go on my anniversary trip to Disney in May!:)

If you keep talking like that I may need to gain a few pounds and send in my picture and resume to GQ. :hug:

The best way that I have found is to write it down. (that's the secret)
If you don't want to count points, just write at the end of the day you will be able to tell yourself what needs to change. Weight Watcher's says to write it down as well as other agencies. As for me personnally as long as I write it I am successful, no writing no success.
Keep a journal on what you eat.

[wishspirit]

Wow! It amazing how many people have weight loss aims! I thought losing weight would make me happy, and i lost a stone last term at Uni (14lbs in 10 weeks basically), and it didn't make me happy, mainly as I did it by forgetting to eat and generally increasing my exercise. In fact, it made my figure worse, all of a sudden i was out of proportion (i am bottom heavy, suddenly i lost my curves on top to balance those below!).

So my new years resolution:
-To be careful with what i eat, not forget about meals, and make sure that i am eating enough fruit and veg
-To generally tone up rather than focusing on 'loosing weight', i would rather be a curvier me that can run around the block without weezing and cycle the 10 minutes to uni without feeling tired, than try and 'lose weight' that i did last term. My goal is to be happy with my self image as someone who is healthy rather than skinny.

I have got most of my curves back already, with all the rich Christmas food flying around (mostly headed straight for my mouth), and i want to stay that way. Heck i never wanted to wear skinny jeans anyway!:goodvibes

[drakethib]

Lose some weight
Cut out fast food
Leave work at work

Woohoo!:yay:

[PK Disney Dork]

Hi guys..I'm relatively new here! I've actually been on the boards since '04 but couldn't get that SN to work anymore for some strange reason so this is my new one. I never used the old one much anyway so since I started listening to the pod cast this past summer I felt I wanted to start anew!

Ok so here are my resolutions;

1: Drop twenty pounds.
2: Eat healthier in general...I take in TOO much fast food.
3: Start my marathon training. My plan is to at least be prepared for the Disney half-marathon in 2010.

oh yeah and #4...win something wicked sweet next year on the new and improved Prize-Mo-Tron!:thumbsup2

[disneymom8589]

I'm joining the "losing some weight and toning up" people! My DD is getting married in July and DH and I are going on a 25th anniversary cruise 2 weeks later, so that's some definite motivation! ;) Also, I'd like to pick up with my scrapbooking.

[Launchpad11B]

[disneym2m]

My new year's resolution is to not make a resolution.

In a month I want to start a thread that ask how many kept their resolutions. :rotfl2:

Happy New Year everyone!!!!!

[ADP]

To everyone that wants to lose weight in 2009, please try to do it the old fashioned way. All those quick fix diet pills can be very dangerous! Like Mindy said earlier, being healthy, strong and happy is much more important than the number on the scale. :goodvibes Good luck on all of the resolutions! :thumbsup2

Great advice Paul. Not only are those diet pills very dangerous some of them are tied to sales scams. I've seen and heard stories of people who bought diet pills online only to find out they've also signed up for other memberships and monthly subscriptions they never knew they signed up for in the first place. After several months and hundereds of dollars later it was too late to get any of their money back.

[DVCsince02]

Forget diet pills, I need my mouth sewn shut. LOL!

I just drove by our big brand new Y and a big sign says join in January and no joiner fee. Woo Hoo! I'm going!

Any Momma Mia productions in your future in Nash-vegas?

I know that Kevin likes the movie (call in a question sometime).

There is simply no substitute for burning more calories than you take in. I've found that the more muscle I put on the easier it is to burn calories. I get my cardio by running 2-3 miles a couple times a week and playing football and basketball. But mostly I try to lift and workout more, the more muscle I can put on or maintain the better. I eat less, feel better and muscle burns calories for you if your just sitting on the couch.

[3DisneyKids]

Like firedancer, my goal for this year is to train for the full marathon.

Just a quick comment...most have posted that their goals include weight loss and/or exercise. If this is you, come on over to the WISH boards here on the DIS. I joined in February of last year, lost the weight, and completed a half marathon. All thanks to Wish. Teams will be forming soon...(though you can join at any time)...but please, come join us! :goodvibes

Sadly the rights for Mama Mia are heretofor not available yet. It does look like a fun show to do!!! It actually looks like one I'd like to direct. That's where my career gone recently.
