10/22/11 Parley!! Will this get me on the ship any faster?

[njprincess]

You are doing better then me I bought alot of clothes last year for the last cruise and none fit me now cause I lost have lost 54 pounds since then I am waiting for end of summer sales and maybe a pants size smaller That maybe a bad idea with all the smoothies I will be drinking


Crystal

Congrats Crystal!

I have been flying under the radar but I've lost 36 lbs. since March. Hope to be down even more by October

I am also waiting for the end of the season sales - I'm not buying a bathing suit until the last minute!

I've lost a few sizes myself and have had to purchase some new clothes...!
I have a few more pounds to go, but now that I am not working, am finding it more difficult to stay focused.

But---on another note---as of today our Palo reservations are booked, spa is booked. ...and we've booked our outside excursions (we didn't book with the ship)!!
*sigh*
Now if I can get some other 'lose ends' settled....all will be GREAT!

Yeah!!!

Well done on your weight losses all of you

I have only lost a paltry 12 lbs since April. I really want to try and lose at leat another 14 before our holiday but I think that might be pushing it. I will be happy to just have clothes that fit though.

Congrats! I wish I was in your situation. I actually picked out clothes I had that are a size smaller and am hoping to lose the weight to get into them by the cruise. Right now I can button them but cant zip them so fingers crossed.

OMG, we've been here before, huh? I did the same thing before our Florida trip recently. Much to my surprise, I was able to fit into my shorts before we left. WHEW!!!

Every cruise, I say I need to lose weight. Mike and I were laughing at some of my posts from previous cruises saying I was going to lose and didn't lose an ounce before we set sail.

Nice job on the weight loss guys. I'm impressed!!!

Awesome job Crystal!

A great job to everyone else too! I'm down 27 myself since the second week in May but still have a lot more to lose.

Mikey better make a trip to the cardiologist before the trip to make sure his heart can take all these skinny ladies in red walking around the ship.

You ladies have given me more incentive to keep my mouth closed and my feet moving so at least I can keep up with you all.

After reading all of these posts I went out and walked 4 miles. I'll be happy if I lose five pounds, I like food way too much.

Tell me about it. I'm paying for nutrisystem(lost the 10lbs I gained ) now so I better put up or shut up. Actually Sean, Sarah, and I are on it so it's helping out a bit. I also want to lose 15 more before we go and I think for the first time in a long time the motivation is there. Like I said shorts are tight (even the ones I bought today) but hoping for them to be a little loosy goosy by the time we hit that ship. (Sean did admit today he was glad I didn't go with the bypass though.) WE CAN DO IT! Just keep swimming, just keep swimming....

Awesome job Crystal!

A great job to everyone else too! I'm down 27 myself since the second week in May but still have a lot more to lose.

OMG neighbor that is awesome!!!!!!

First, congrats to everyone on the weight loss - that is great!!

And, speaking of clothes but in a different way... since there is a chance they will do some type of Halloween party on board, is anyone going to dress up?

Obviously we will bring something for DD but are any adults dressing up? Just curious. We dress up for Halloween usually but not sure about on the cruise.

Underdog appreciates the fact that chics come in all different shapes and sizes and he loves them all.

as for my bad heart and ladies in red drersses..Robin keeps the "defib paddles" in her purse.(just in case) so if you hear her yell "CLEAR!"...take a few steps back.

Who knew?!? I guess even Tink likes a red dress

Meh, it's like tossing a deck chair off the Titanic.
(But thank you anyway.)

There was a trick or treat party for the kids on our last cruise that was around the same dates as the Parley. I did see adults dressed up in costumes too.

We dressed up for Pirate night for our last two cruises but will not be doing it for this one. Too much packing.

Notice the ghost of Anne Bonney on my son's vest? Upper left corner of the picture? We really have no idea who or what that was either which makes it even spookier.

Great picture!!

I have done both Warrior Dash and Tough Mudder. Both fun but Tough Mudder was def a more difficult race. A few differences:

- length of race. Warrior Dash is about 3 miles and TM is between 10-12 miles. With the longer one, a lot of people were walking by the end. Goal isn't time, it is to finish so complete at your own pace.
- difficulty of obstacles. TM had more (about 25) obstacles and they were more difficult - walls were higher to climb over (12 feet), much more water, items to carry (logs), live wires to run through (they have that instead of a mud pit at the end). With that said, both were lots of fun.
- Teamwork - During TM, everyone helped each other out - helping pulling people over walls, climbing the top of the half pipe etc. The assistance was not as needed during Warrior Dash so not a direct comparison but people go into TM not for a good time but to work together and accomplish the race.

I loved Tough Mudder. Definitely more of a challenge which made it that much more of an accomplishment.

I have also done a Super Spartan race and I am signed up for 2 more this year. One being another Tough Mudder if that tells you how much fun it was. I have pics of both races in albums on my Facebook page. You are welcome to friend me if you want to view (Melissa Santoni). And ask any questions - I'll pass along any info I can. Def sign up - lots of fun!!

Tried to add you as a friend on FB but there are 6 of you out there! You can add me Benjamin Oien I think there are three of me, but mine profile pic says chiropractic.

We do hope there is something associated with Halloween on the cruise. We already have costumes for out famiy, as we do dress up every year. Even our dd friend will have a costume.

I feel your Titanic pain, but it's a great accomplishment either way

Sean has his POC shirt he's going to wear. Sarah asked if she could bring her pirate dress, so she'll be wearing that. I bought a pink DCL pirate shirt in March from the Disney Outlet in Orlando. 11 weeks and 5 days woot woot!

Added you - you should have my request.

And here is the full album of pics we took at Tough Mudder - other races are on FB
