Hi Farrah

I didn't realize your goal was 50 pounds! That's my goal too. I've got a long ways to go though...I'll be happy w/ 20 or 30 too.

See you on our Pop thread...have a great day!!

Hi Becky Yes unfortunitly I have a long way to go....hey atleast you have a reason to need to loose that much weight--you just had a baby, my youngest is 4 so I cant say he's my reason anymore that worked the first year or so hahaha.

well i know we can do this! Just need all our DIS friends to push us along.
TTYS on the POP board

Hey

So i weighed myself this week I didnt lose any weight this week But i didnt gain either. I leave for my vegas trip in 30 days!!! I would love to lose 5 pounds before I go. I had one day this week where I def cheated BAD!!!! I was a little stressed out from looking and trying to decide on a place to have my wedding at and on top of that im seriously pmsing.. But on the bright side usually when i have a bad day it turns into 2 or 3 bad days...the following morning i woke up worked out and ate super clean. so im not totally killing myself over it. It still hard for me but im working on killing "the all or none attitude" it def taking me some time.

I did a new firm dvd yesterday it was great and really challenging..It was called Maximum Boot Camp ...It has cardio and weights and I def broke a sweat!!!! check it out.

good luck with your September trip goals..You can do it!!! but set realistic healthy goals one to two pounds a week should be the max you should aim to lose anything else is unhealthy and you will most likely gain it back...

What is it with men and losing weight so much faster??? DH and I both joined WW a little over a month ago and I have lost 8 lbs and he has lost 21 lbs!!!!!! I am proud of my 8 lbs, but not as proud as he is of his 21 lbs! Amazing!

So frustrating isnt it....I hate when my fiancee and I diet and he loses weight so much faster than I do...It just because men have more muscle than woman do and muscle burns fat...

do some strength training it speeds the weight lose process..try workout dvds like The Firm or Core Secrets

ABSOLUTELY! Just yesterday I told DW that she should lose a few pounds for our upcoming trip. DOH! Thank God she doesn't read this forum!

 

[DonaldTDuck]

Yep. Going in Sept and want to take the Segway tour. I've lost 13 and need to lose another thirteen to be under 250(any math majors?) and 5-7 more to cover clothes and Free Food, probably gain a couple back quick.

 

[bell.of.the.ball]

New WW weighing for me this week.... I lost 2.2 so I am lost 40.6. I finnaly made it over the 40lb mark. Now I am heading to the 50. My plan was 50 but my trip. I think I can, I think I can.........

HI, I just found this thread, and it is great! I need to lose about 10 pounds before our trip in July. I did WW at work all last school year and lost 45 pounds. I need to lose about 20 more overall to be at my personal goal, but There is no way I will make that by July 15!! I am not even sure 10 is realistic, but I am sure going to try. I have already bought 3 pairs of shorts that are too snug, so I have to lose th weight

 

[milmore104]

OMG count me in. As you can see by my sig. I have started my quest in the hopes for just that... No more "FAT" pictures of this Mama in the photo albums. I started my quest on Easter and have been doing good. 37 lbs. down and more to go. Good luck to every one.

Hey everybody!! Everyone's doing so great, I'm so impressed!! We leave in just 30 days, and my original goal was 27 lbs. I keep losing a few lbs, then hit a plateau, lose a few more, hit a plateau. Its been really frustrating, but I haven't given up. Added exercise to the mix, and changed the diet from WW pts. to Atkins. My body just wants to keep this fat! But I'm down 16, and while I doubt I'll lose 11 lbs in 30 days, I'm happier than I was. Any suggestions for how to bust a plateau?

WOW! congrats on the weight lose!

I know you said you added exercise to the mix but add exercise that incorporates WEIGHTS not just cardio and you will def see a huge difference!!!!

 

[DisneyMomx7]

Me Me Me!!! I really only need to lose 10 lbs but I'm trying to lose 15 so I have a little "cushion" for DDP. I started two weeks ago and I'm down 8 lbs. so far. Maybe this year I finally won't cringe when I put my bathing suit on!

 

[LMO429]

Hi everyone!

I'm impressed with everyone's weight loss & patience with plateaus.

I'm down 12 pounds, 12 to go for my Sept. WDW trip. Although I am on my second plateau, today I am wearing a skirt I haven't worn in 2 years! So I try to cheer myself up with motivators like that when the scale isn't complying...

Keep up the good eating!

I just found this thread & I'm trying to lose 20lbs by our trip Aug 31st. I've lost 11.5. 8.5 more to go. I've just got to keep my motivation up.

To mabenoab: I've found if you eat more on one day & less on another & do the same with exercise, kick your butt one day & take it easier the next, you tend to get off the plateau. Assuming of course you are having a physical plateau & not a motivation plateau (like I'm currently experiencing )

Good luck to everyone! Less weight on our tender feet is gonna be a really good thing!
