I believe I have new motivation !!

[karebear1]

todday, I made a resse at OKW for October- to go to WDW!!! I am still going in Jan as well, but I've been depressed lately and DH said to go! SO I am! I'll be there 6 nights- 7 days! I'm very excited because I am going to go to MNSSHP too! Barbruka is going with me! this will be our second trip together! Anyone else going in October???

Ok- I guess it's time to get moving again! Goal #1- lose 8 lbs by then end of June! Goal #2- lose 15-20 more by the end of August and Goal #3- lose another 15-20 lbs by mid October! If I lose the lower end of that it will be 38 lbs by mid Oct. Do you think that's doable?? That would get me down to my lowest weight in over 12 years!! Still wouldn't be in onederland- but hey- I can make that goal # 4 for our January '04 trip!

Hey sure you can do it - go for it. You know you'll have all the support of your fellow WISHer's you CAN do it!:D

[Jomrog]

You go girl!!!! I know you can do it!!!

I am very jealous. We barely have the $$ for our July trip to Va. beach & want to go to WDW soooooo badly. We haven't been for about 1 1/2 yrs. My DH is not quite as understanding of the Disney addiction as yours is. He only goes there, "for the kids". Sigh. :rolleyes:

I'm so happy for you.

Joanne- my DH is n't realy a Disney fan either- but he knows how happy it makes me, amnd he wants me to be happy. We have just moved out here from Michigan- well, it's been about 9 months now (I can't believe it!) and since the move, I have all of my college aged kids living here (That hasn't happened for 4 years) and I am STRESSED OUT!!! I don't have too many friends yet, and NO Disney freaks! In Feb., after 5 years of saying we should buy into the DVC - he comes out of no where and says it's time to buy! Now- that was very exciting! So- now I have lots of time to use up in WDW every year! I've never been to the MNSSHP and I'm very excited about that. That is why I really want to lose this much weight before I go!

I am sooooo excited that yesterday I went summer clothes shopping and bought 1 outfit ,a shirt and a pair of really cute khakis in a size that is 2 sizes smaller then I wear now. If I don't fit into them by then, I will by my Jan . trip!

Wait! October?? January?? Don't you mean August and December??;):p Just teasin ya!!

I am so happy for you!! Nothing like a trip to Disney to make you get motivated!! Good for you, Karen!!

Hugs!

I know beanie! Isn't that frustrating! Next year we will be sure we'll be there at the same time! I know we will for sure in 2005!! August is too hot for me and December is too close to January for me! I'm sorry beans. WHen are you going in '04?

[nativetxn]

Those are some really ambitious goals, sweetie. Good luck with them. As determined as you are, I imagine you will do that easily.

I love OKW. I was lucky enough to stay there with KarenNY and Taryn in February, 2002. We had a ball, what happy memories we made :)

[karebear1]

Kath- do you think it'll be too hard to do?

[maryliz]

If you look at your lower end of your goals (38lbs), that is about 2lbs per week for the next 19 weeks. You have a realistic plan, terrific WISH friends in your support group ;) , and the best motivation going ... a trip to WDW !!!

You Go Girl !!! I know you can do it ! :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc :Pinkbounc

I don't think it will be difficult at all, sweetie. Especially not difficult for you. {{{HUGS}}}

[Beanie]

I don't know when I am going next year, Karen...Since Andrew will be in school all day next year, it will probably be sometime in summer...of course, if everyone is going to Disney in December of '04, then I will be there once again!! LOL
