8 weeks to go gotta get in shape

[Hockeychic]

well 8 weeks today we head to Disney....I am so excited.

However, I am still much heavier and out of shape then I promised myself I would be.

As of today I am walking twice a day min 20 min each time, once at lunch and once with DH at night.

I am planning on incorporating a little weight trainning also and watching what I eat for the next 8 weeks. I am currently about 187 do you think it is possible to lose 20 pds by then????

Any tips or encouragement are greatly appreciated.

If you walk everyday x2 and do some wgt training and watch what you eat(wether on a specific diet or doing it yourself) you will definatley be lighter and feel better in 8 weeks. Don't think in numbers think in "How do my clothes fit are they getting bigger"

I hope you reach your goal - but even if you fall shy of it you will be well on your way in 8 weeks time!

Hi Kim!

I hope you have a wonderful trip to Disney. If I had a trip in 8 weeks, I'd be bouncing off the walls with excitement!

Anyway, about your weight loss efforts. I'd add to Sue's wonderful advice to drink water, water and more water. I'm on South Beach and I started to eat some sugar free treats, I wasn't drinking my water and was eating late and probably my portions were too big at dinner. When I started drinking my water (80-120 ounces per day), watching my portions at dinner, my exercise with the Firm is already good and cutting out the sugar free stuff, I lost 3 pounds in a week. I'm on a stay off the scale challenge right now so I don't know how much I've lost since then but people have been telling me they notice how much smaller I look than a few weeks ago.

Just thought I'd tell you what is working for me. I hope you can lose what you'd like by your Disney trip. I know I felt so much better being about 65 pounds lighter when I went on my trip last month.
