Thank you, thank you, and thank you!!!

Well, no deliveries yet (although I was kind of hoping Tricia's potential costume would arrive today!) Bummer.

I've been searching in earnest for my own costume ideas and getting disgusted... not with the costumes... but with the SIZE costume I would need. Uggh!! I have just gained so much weight over the past 4-5 years.... I really notice it when I see pictures of myself.


And so, I've decided that I am going to try (in ernest) to drop some pounds before Disney. Well... not pounds, really. I'm less interested in what the scale says and more interested in getting to a smaller dress size.

I'm debating whether to change my signature and add a weight loss ticker. It's kind of personal, but I'm thinking that if I force myself to share my failure or success with my DIS-friends that I will be more motivated to stay on target. I know that there's an entire board devoted to this stuff... but frankly, I'm already spending more than enough time DIS-ing here on the TR boards when I should be out walking!!

The only other thing is that if I put a weight loss ticker in my siggie, I'll have to delete some of my siggie images. Hmmm. I may just give weekly updates or something like that... but then I don't get the benefit of the "public" ticker...

What do you think??

I say do what you know will be motivating for you.

You know what that is already, I think.

 

[DearDaisyinDurham]

Whatever you decide, we're with you!! I am also losing for Mickey, so getting back to walking. I am working to picture every step I take and every pound I drop will be healthy for my <3 (((((HUGS)))))

 

[joy13]

Good luck on your weight loss goals - if you remove some images for a ticker it may motivate you to get rid of the ticker faster, so you can put the images back in.

I will gladly be a cheerleader for you, Kathy!!! I'll even get out my pom-poms!

You are wise, Grasshopper.

It's not a battle this time, it's a war!!

Does <3 mean what I think it means?? (The thing I need to get up and moving??)

Well, right now I'll just be your cheerleader, but once I deliver this baby I am all about dropping QUITE a few pounds. We're headed to see Mickey next September and I'd like to be at least 50 pounds less than I am today.

Thanks, Mop!!

How're you feeling, BTW??

Well, as Jordan guessed, I didn't need much arm-twisting to make my decision!!

I did say that I was more interested in going down a couple of sizes and not too worried about actual pounds, but the only choices for weight-loss tickers seem to be measured in pounds or BMI... so I decided to put pounds on there just to have some sort of measurement. I've heard that each ten pounds is a dress size, so that's how I came up with 20lb.

Wish me luck... even Pooh Bear is going to excercise with me!! I just hope I don't bust any of my stitches!!

When it isn't so hot around here (right now it feels like we are on th surface of the sun) I like to walk around the college campus across the street from us. I put Disney podcasts (usually from be our guest) and Disney music on my MP3 player and listen to it when I am walking. That is a motivator for me .

I love you no matter what size you are, but I do completely understand wanting to feel more healthy .

 

[DisMomAmy]

Love the new ticker!

Go Kathy Go!!

Best of luck to you, I know you can do it!! It's always easier when there's motivation. Maybe I'll join you!
