Hello all....

[Disney1fan2002]

Can I join?

I have been struggling for a year to take weight off, last year at this time, I wanted to lose 40 pounds before my October 2002 trip to WDW. It didn't happen. Now, I am back up to what I weighed last year, and I have another WDW trip coming up at Thanksgiving. I would love to be down 40-50 pounds by then , with the rest of what I need off by April 2004 for our next trip, the Disney Cruise.

All total, I need to lose 75 pounds to be at my goal. I tried WW's and it didn't really work. I am going to try it again, this time, add more walking and exercise, and really journal and stay within my points. I am also going to try a low-carb version.

You will find so much wonderful support from all the losers here at WISH!!
You can do this- lots of folks here like the low carb diets and have some great recipe suggestions- and there's a great challenge by Alex that'll help you stay on your exercise goals-

I joined on April 1st- needing to lose about 86 pounds total- so far I've lost 10 and have picked up my exercising- I can really tell the difference in my clothes and all my friends are noticing too- that's just butter!

I started a journal and I think this is a great way to encourage and be encouraged!!! Just come on in and enjoy the friendship and hopefully you'll become a big loser!!

Hi Disney1fan2002, welcome to WISH. I'm so glad to see you here. We have a wonderful support group and lots of people on different plans.

You have plenty of time to reach your goal. Don't worry what did or didn't happen last year or even yesterday, just focus on the right now. You are going to succeed, I'm sure of it, we are going to help you. All we ask in return is that you help us too when we need encouragement. Does that sound fair?

No lurking now. I need your participation in my support group--it helps me a lot. (Yes, it's true, I'm selfish ;) )

Okay, then...are you ready? All set? Then <b>go!</b> Get ready to <b>succeed</b>, you're a WISHer now and you're going to love it here.
