Hi! I'm new and I would like to WISH my way to better health! I am 34 and need to lose about 70 pounds. It seems so overwhelming. I am going to exercise (walk or tae bo) 30 minutes 5 days a week and start trying to drink more water and eat less sweets. Hopefully if I take this 5 pounds at a time then I can do it. 5 Pounds sounds so much more attainable than 70!
Also-is there somewhere I can find out more about the Disney marathon/half-marathon? That would be an awesome goal!!Thanks.

Hi Goofyshell,
Welcome to WISH! I am 34 years old too and guess what - YOU CAN DO this!! I started WW's 1 year ago on 6/2/03 and I reached goal a few weeks ago. I lost another 10lbs the year prior so total I have lost almost 60lbs. Don't think about the 70lbs, concentrate on small goals, and before you know it you will loose those 70lbs. Just think what you can do by this time next summer. You will be a whole new person!

Wish has been the 1 thing that has kept me going and really made a difference. I started exercising last fall and kept it up for 2 months. I started again in January and have been consistant since then. I love exercising now, and my body has really made great improvements.

Remember- You can do it and work up one clippie at a time. Before you know it you will be sporting the 70lb clippie!!

Welcome!

I don't know the exact website for the marathon/half-marathon. Lots of us are doing it, though! I always find the site I need by going to Google and searching "Walt Disney World Marathon 2005" It brings me right to it! Registration is filling up, though. You should get over there and register! Then come find our training thread!

As for now, grab yourself a WISH Member clippie, and start working on your goals! You have broken it down in a way that it will be very attainable for you.

Good luck, post often, and we're always here for support!

here is the link to disney official info site for the 1/2 Marathon

I think you have the right attitude 5lbs at a time is the way to go - Heck thats the increment we use on WISH to claim new clippies.


Again welcome to WISH
