Space Mountain, I love the ride, hate the wait.



Question of the Day - Thursday
Let's exchange ideas about strategies to handle Thanksgiving Day

I am following a low carb diet. With that I can eat all the turkey I want. I can eat salads and veggies too.

I was checking around and found real pumpkin filling is low carb. I won't be able to eat the crust but I can at least have the filling part with some real whip cream.

With all of that I am hoping I won't cheat. My birthday is the day after, so I asked my family if we could skip the cake and just go with the pumpkin pie. I hope we can stick with that plan.

Well, good luck on today's weigh-in. Lets make it 3 weeks in a row.. GO Red!!!

No it didn't help!! . Smiling Molli. It just hurt my slow slow head.

Oh, I have a doozy of a week.

I'm 1.1 down. Which is a two week post. But fanflippintastic. I don't think I've ever been so thrilled.

Congrats Molli. Way to go.

I have just posted my weight loss for the week and I am down 2.8lbs this week.

Today I have officially hit 50 lbs total loss. Still a long way to go but it is nice hitting my first mini goal.

Have a great day everyone

1 pound lost here!!!!!!!!!
Good luck to everyone this week!

As for Thanksgiving day eating, I am planning on eating a normal meal, just smaller portions and workout like crazy the whole week!

Question of the Day - Wednesday
What is your favorite ride in a Disney Park?


Question of the Day - Thursday
Let's exchange ideas about strategies to handle Thanksgiving Day

I would have to say Soaring is my favorite ride, though tower of terror and everest are high on the favorite list. I do love dumbo- it just says Walt disney world to me.

For Thanksgiving, in the past when I've been on program at the time, I would try to take a small amount of everything that I want, and stick with that, and plan to have a splurge for dessert. I love pumpkin pie, and can't not have it. I don't think we should deprive ourselves, or we may just end up binging later. This year, I'm on call for work, so I won't be able to have any alcohol, which will help me keep on track. I do ww and will try to save all my flex points for the holiday. It also helps to have some healthier, low cal dishes available to fill up on, and have small servings of the not so healthy stuff.

Congratulations to all you losers!! Awesome week so far. I am down .4, and am determined to stick with the program. Slow and steady is the way to be.

Pickles- thanks for the info on the sports bra. I feel like I spent hours at Lady Grace and did get a decent one, but just not good enough for any length of time of higher impact jogging or running.

Gotta get to work. Have a great day everyone.

Down 2.2 pounds this week. Yahoo!

Disneynut71 - Way to go! 50 pounds is a huge accomplishment. I need to lose that (and more), but it is mind boggling to think about it all at once. I know you said 50 was one of your goals, but did you set mini-goals along the way? It's nice to know it can be done!

Hope everyone had a good week (weight-wise and otherwise)!!!

 

[kcashner]

OK team.....I'm UP 5 pounds this week. This makes absolutely no sense. I can't claim to be a total angel, but I've been to the gym 4 times and eaten reasonably until last night.

I could say that I'm up 5 pounds since yesterday (true). I ate one slice of cheese pizza last night. Water weight? OH well....looking for a huge loss next week.

Question of the Day - Friday

IF you could stay any where on Disney property, with no worry about expense, where would it be and why?

 

[disneychrista]

I did not weigh in this week. I knew the news would be bad and didn't want to make it worse by seeing just how bad. I am having a really hard time keeping on track. For some reason I can't seem to kick it back in to gear. Maybe my body likes being at 155/160, even though I want it at 130/135. I have less than 5 weeks before our Holiday Disneyland trip and I am hoping to be down 7 - 10 by them because I KNOW that (for the first time) I will gain during our trip because FOOD seems to be a big part of this trip. When every other trip it was just something to keep our tummy's from grumbling.

I will weight in on Sunday (my usually weigh in day) and hope that damage is not too bad from the past 2 weeks.

 

[pickles521]

I maintained this week. I'm not happy about it, but I've lost pretty consistently for the last 12 weeks, so I'm not going to beat myself up about it.

Question of the Day - Wednesday
What is your favorite ride in a Disney Park?

This depends on the day and the mood. I think my real favorite would be a toss up between the train (I LOVE trains, and I think it fascinates my entire family that I always want to ride it first AND last) and the Carousel. I have no idea why I love the carousel, but I do. I've even talked every one in my family into riding it. At MNSSHP this year it was my mom's turn. Seeing my 70yo mother on a carousel horse was totally worth the price of the ticket. Seeing her try to get OFF the horse? THAT was pricesless!!!

Question of the Day - Thursday
Let's exchange ideas about strategies to handle Thanksgiving Day

I'm going to go with a "make sure you want it, and then only take a small portion" strategy. It's always possible to go back for more if I really want it, but I know I'll eat it all if I put it on my plate. I've broken that tendacy just about every day except Thanksgiving. I'm definately a clean your plate girl on that day. I'm also hoping to ramp up my workouts that week and the week after to help compensate.

I would love to stay at GF. After the marathon I could crawl my way to the spa for R&R Disney Style and the view of MK is awesome not to mention the restaurants.

Yeah Melisa. Onward we go together Red.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Kathy. Downward we go.

Yipee!!! Outstanding MM.

Listen,

That's not a true gain. It's not. I'm going to frank here. I can go up pounds from eating something that doesn't agree with me. Really. The body is a strange thing. The scale is a strange thing.

Just hang on and onward and it will disappear. Well, I don't need to say a thing you're already there - looking to a new week.

Hi Christa,

I can hear your frustration. Just keep on. You are so successful. Do you do/have you tried interval training? I think we discussed it before. I think you do it. Anaerobic then aerobic then anaerobic etc. etc. in short spurts for 45 minutes.

Just hang in there. You are already successful Christa. Already.

With love,

Lisa

Exactly. Exactly!!!! We do not give enough and and for maintaining. After the last BL that's all I wanted to do. Was simply hold on for a time period. And that outlook, and mental break, helped me greatly.

It's important. Look how many times you hear I lost 50 and gained 70 etc. etc. How different would that be if we focused on maintaining at times?

Underestimated focus. (But I know it wasn't your focus this week pickles!?!?!?? Smiling )

Yeah for you.

Polynesian resort- I love going there for O'hana and the view is awesome. I will stay there someday.

I have set mini goals of 10 lbs each. 10,20,20,40 and 50. 50 was the big one. I am half way there. I feel great and this is the first diet I have been on where I have not really been tempted to cheat. I look at bread and have no desire to eat it, which is weird because I am addicted to bread.


Hope everyone had a good week (weight-wise and otherwise)!!!

Just saying hi RunningGoofy.

Somedays I wish I loved running. Most days not.
I do everything exercise wise but. I am so not a runner. And to be frank at 41 and being a tad vain - I'd hate to feel my thin thin skin bouncing up and down. I never knew I was vain until I caught myself in a mirror jumping rope. Not a pretty sight with my type of skin. I used to do that jump rope - great exercise especially core - but I'm just far too vain after seeing that action.

 

[adnil530]

Sounds like most everyone had a fantastic losing week with some big losers on this team!

I lost 1.6 lbs this week. Getting closer and closer to my goal

To those who gained or maintained...keep at it. This week you can be the biggest loser!

Hope everyone has a great week.

Linda

Hi Lisaviolet,
I know the thin skin feeling also, (I walk) I wanted to run But can't jump up. The "Girls" complain too much and the extra movement is so not pretty on me so I walk and the only place I ever run is in my Dreams.
