Biggest Loser 9 Spring Challenge -- thread closing -- see new thread Part 2!

[CinderellasSister]

If I were in Disney right now, I'd be taking my kids in Tower of Terror for the first time. (That's my plan for our trip next month! )

 

[Riverhill]

If you were at Disneyworld or Disneyland right now what would you be doing?

If I was in Disney World right now I would be in Epcot walking through MOUSE GEAR and on my way to the LIVING WITH THE LAND ride. I love that ride and it was closed last time we were there.

Prrincess Vija congrats on no longer being on call.

Interesting question - because I will be at WDW this time next week.

My sister in law have joined the CHEAR section at the marathon (I will attempt the half on Saturday and complete - hopefully - the 5k on the Friday). After that, we will shop and be headed off to the Norway Pavillion for a victory dinner with the Arthritis Society followed by Illuminations.

I have never been to Disneyland.

Every trip, I do a "scarey ride" because I am a fraidy cat. Last year, it was Tower of Terror - which is now one of my favourites.

This year, my sister in law wants me to do Expedition Everest - and I am a bit timid.

Was looking at an old WW card - I am 32 pounds lighter than I was this time last year and soooo close to a big milestone.

I am glad this is starting up again - and I hope to be more vocal this time, but I do get busy and cannot promise I will be here everyday - and I will have no computer access January 7 - 12th when I am at Disney.

Nice to link up with some old friends here too - Vija - hi buddy! Glad you are on the up again.

Hey, I'm running the half on Saturday too!

If I were in WDW right now, I'd be at the Magic Kingdom, making a beeline to the Haunted Mansion!

 

[ziggystardust]

if i was in disney right now, i'd most likely be in the world showcase... or maybe on mickey's philharmagic

If you were at Disneyworld or Disneyland right now what would you be doing?

This is so funny to me now that I live here. Sunday is usually our family Disney day. We would most likely be at MK right now doing Buzz and TTA with our son. We always hit this first and we usually arrive around this time unless hubby is golfing. I love my Sunday Disney Days!! It is just to crowded right now for me to venture over to the parks.

 

[Peace.love.mickey]

If I was at Disneyland right now, I would prob have already gotten a FP to Indy and in line for Splash or BTMM! SOO FUN! What a great QOD!!!!

I love love love love this ride..I also love that both places it is a tab different!!!

Good luck at the marathon! I KNOW you can do it! And I am so excited that you are close to a big milestone. You have been a big inspiration to me, and I know you will reach that and be successful at WDW 1/2 marathon. I will be thinking of you!

Good morning everyone! Wow, this thread moves so incredibly fast, I have a lot to catch up on.

A little background first. I am 34 and married to DH for almost 15 years (this June). No children together but DH has DD20 from first marriage so I call her my DD. I work full-time and go to school online full-time so I never seem to have enough hours in my day. I had a discectomy in October and have just recovered enough to start exercising again. I do still have pain but not NEARLY as severe as during the 1 1/2 years it took them to diagnose my problem. I have the wii fit, Biggest Loser workout for wii, WATP, and tons of other DVDs. So, no more excuses!

QOTD's: My goals for this challenge are to try my best, not be so hard on myself if I have an off-day, and of course I would like to lose weight. How much? I'm not sure because I have always set such high numbers for myself that I will set myself up to fail. 5 pound increments will be it this time. When I lose 5 pounds, I have met my goal, and I will set a new one. Hope it works!
I joined WW and am a member of Sparkpeople. Plus, the wonderful support on this board will help me through. I hope to be an active participant in the thread so I hold myself accountable.

Today's QOTD: If I were at Disneyland right now, I would be eating breakfast at River Belle Terrace watching the ducks swim across Rivers of America. It's a beautiful way to start my morning. Seeing as how I have only been to MK once and have never been to Disney World's other parks, I am not sure what I would be doing there.

My big reward for this weight loss journey is my trip to Disneyworld in December. I want to be healthy and happy. I am an obsessive planner so these next 12 months will be so entertaining for me!

Mullysisters: I am so sorry about your cat. When I had to let go of my baby Powder (3 years ago at age 8), it was the most difficult thing for me to do.

Tigger813: I agree! I love Wes Welker too!!!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

If you were at Disneyworld or Disneyland right now what would you be doing?


Oh if I were at Disney, I would be avoiding MK. It's is Sunday after all and they are probably crowded.
Since we are night people we would probably be just getting on a bus headed to MGM. I need my Streetmosphere characters!! I did not get a ton of time to spend with them this past trip.

Not sure about Disneyland, I haven't been there since the 25th anniversary.

 

[Worfiedoodles]

QOTD: If you were at Disneyworld or Disneyland right now what would you be doing?

If I were at WDW right now, I would be in the queue for Space Mountain, since I haven't ridden it since the rehab. I would also eagerly be anticipating rides on Mickey's Philharmagic, the Haunted Mansion, Hall of Presidents (haven't seen the new one yet!), and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. I would cap this off with dinner at LTT, enjoy a ride on Pirates followed by a Dole Whip, slip over to the comedy show in Tomorrowland, and then enjoy an ice cream sandwich cookie from the Main Street Bakery while I watched the fireworks.

I just did my incline walking today. This is a hard week for me since I can't do much exercise -- I have to rest for the Half on Saturday. I am so excited! I leave for WDW on Thursday, and working the next 3 days will be annoying when I just want to dream about my trip!

If I were at Disneyland right now at 9am (which we were going to do except I heard how crowded it is this weekend) we would be people watching. As the day wore on we would do Pirates and HM. And of course planning what to eat for lunch!

At WDW (I've only been once) I think I'd be at Epcot or Animal Kingdom.

 

[sahbushka]

If I were in Disneyland right now I would be just getting off of Indiana Jones and heading to get a fast pass for BTMRR! I love that ride!

I have been doing really well staying on track so far this year! I am still working on getting off all the damage I did on NYE....but I am close! I will be going with dh to the gym today to try to get the rest off.

Hope everyone is having a great day!

[denise]

If you were at Disneyworld or Disneyland right now what would you be doing?

At Disneyland we would be line for Indiana Jones for the second time!
At the World we would either be at Epcot walking the entire place over and over. Or we would be at the Studios on Rock'n Roller Coaster.

One thing for sure we would be WALKING!!!

Ok, back to reality, time to get moving and take down all the Christmas decorations before football comes on....I want my house clean and all this chocolate hid!

 

[leamom2princesses]

Good morning BL 9 participants!

It is a real treat to come read everyone's excited and motivated posts every time I turn on my computer.

Today we will take a little break from talking about our challenge and think about something fun!

If you were at Disneyworld or Disneyland right now what would you be doing?

If I was at Disneyworld right now I would be at Animal Kingdom riding Expedition Everest. If I was at Disneyland right now I would be waiting for the park to open since it is only 7 a.m.!

Have a great OP day all!

What a great question! We usually do AK on Sundays. Since it is around 12:30 at Disneyworld right now, I would probably have already done the Safari and EE and would be watching the girls play at the Boneyard. Right about now I'd be wondering how we are going to get all those little pebbles out of their shoes and shorts.

 

[cclovesdis]

Great, OP day so far. Just had to make a switch for lunch as we didn't have enough of my usual roast beef to make a sandwich but still stayed within my lunch points goal of 6. Looking forward to a good rest of the day.

QOTD: I've never been to Disneyland, so if I were there right now, I'd be taking it all in. At WDW, as it's just after 12, I'd probably be in MK eating lunch at Pecos Bill's. I love the taco salad. Or perhaps sharing a flatbread with my sister at Captain Cook's at the Poly. We love those too and they are large enough to share, especially if we order a nice healthy side salad to go with it.

Have a great day everyone!

 

[auntlynne]

Alternating between Aerosmith's Rockin' Roller Coaster and Toy Story Mania in Disney's Hollywood Studios park (WDW), trying to maximize short wait lines and FastPass (before they get hideously late return times). Having vegetable soup (the "soup of the day" - it never changes) at Rosie's All-American.

I have a question about the nutrition facts label on foods. I'm horrible with this kind of thing. I get overwhelmed with all the numbers and I'm not sure which is the most important to start with. If I want to focus on just one part of it to start with, what part of the label should I look at? The calories? The fat number? Help!

I used to walk so much before (lived in NYC - no car) that whatever I ate melted right off. Not so much anymore.

 

[jbm02]

Okay all you non-soda drinkers...I might have to join you. I kinda want to but kinda don't - I love my diet coke.

...I KNOW I need to do this - but I love my Diet Pepsi too. I am going to try and limit it to one small glass a day. I don't drink coffee or tea so it's my morning caffeine.... but the water consumption is going really, really well so maybe I can do it!!
