All - I have a great idea. We'll do this challenge, lose a ton of weight for our next cruise and then I'm going to contact Dr. Phil and he'll have us on his show. I can see it now..........

The Cruisin' Castaways 2006, some who met in 2004 and some in 2006 on a Disney Forum. Became great friends and lost 5000 pounds. Yes, ladies and gentlemen 5000 pounds!!!!!! And then we'll all be famous and we'll do the talk show circuit and we'll write a book that they'll make into a movie. And we'll be rich, thin and rich and beautiful...............LOL

OMG CV...I am ROTFLMAO, I was laughing so hard my DH came in the room and asked me who I was on the phone with. LOL

You can add me to the weight loss list. BUT I can NOT start until 11/2/04 as Halloween is my weakness, I LOVE my candy, so I am not even going to torture mysef until after Halloween. How can I put that clip art in my signature.

They are trying very hard not to do the surgery over again. They are keeping him in the hospital on a clear liquid diet, IV antibiotics, and hoping that the breach in the colon repairs itself. If not, they will operate. I feel so helpless in all this.

Terry, I can't remember where to look for your pictures. I'd love to see them.

Darlene

Oh Darlene, That is terrible, I hope it corrects itself. Having another surgey is just awful. Our best to all of you.

Darlene:

I wish there was something I could say or do to make you feel better. That helpless feeling of not being in control is awful. If there is anything that we can do please don't hesitate to ask.

Send Stan our love and let him know we are thinking of him.

Is today the official weigh in day, and how are we going to chart our progress?

Sue

Sue,

I believe everyone that is joining the weight loss diet will be responsible for keeping track of their own weight loss.

 

[Mjasp]

Has anyone ever been over to the DIS wish board? I have never been over there, maybe we can get an idea how they track progress.

 

[MoranClan]

Hey Darlene..Our prayers are with you...Alot of them...

My official weigh in today was 270...Man I got too heavy..Guess its all the beer...I wil l miss beer the most...

I will post me weight every Sunday Morning....

I will make new banners with 5 pound weight loss increments..

Bobby

I guess you checked out the DIS wish list, that is what they do, start with zero and have 5 pound increment clip art

One thing, I am not giving MY weight. All I'll say is my weight is "Too Much"

 

[mickeymom923]

Bobby - Great job on the banner.

My weight loss is going to be "0" for awhile cause I'm with Joanna and can't (won't) start until after Halloween. Between using the Entertainment Book all this week going out for lunch and ending the week with Halloween, I'll probably gain 5 pounds.

Terry - last night I was looking at your vacation pictures from the Magic and I can't wait to go. I loved your pictures. Everyone looked like they had so much fun. I did the Wonder twice and really looking forward to the Magic especially after seeing your pictures. You take such great pictures.

Darlene - you seem like such a strong person with everything you are going through. Hang in there. Hope Stan gets better soon.

Hi Everybody! Glad to see so many new LOSERS among us! I had a so-so day today. I realize that all of next week I'll be in WDW and it's Halloween & my Birthday so I be as good as I can through that period and go full force after 11/6!


SAWYERMAW1 - Welcome to you and your family!! I have added you guys to our list!


Bobby - Can I post your link here so everyone can get the banner?

Darlene - I hope Stan is feeling a little better today.

Joanna - I like your idea about our weight being listed just as "too much", so this way when we report a loss we can say "now I weigh too much less 5 lbs.! Bobby, I admire that you can just state your weight - such a difference between men and women!!

Ginny - How's Connor feeling? Poor little guy!

Karen - I agree with Darlene - a smoothie for the knee!! Feel better.

Hmmmm....Do have to wait until next week to get my name on your "Loser List"

 

[MoranClan]

Welcome sawyermom1!

OK, let me just tell you all that Bobby signed me up and forgot to tell me. But that's ok. I'm down for the challenge. It's this time of night that's my icecream/chocolate craving time so I've decided to use this time to excersice. Let's see how long this will last. I was very good today, by the way!

I would love to be on Oprah, do the talk show circuit, and go on a free cruise too. Count me in.

Karen we missed you.
Joanna we missed you and yours as well.
Somehow I winded up with a purple bottle of something for you, don't worry we won't drink it because we're all on a DIET!!!

Prayers to Stan

Cindy

 

[MoranClan]

Cindy

 

[MoranClan]

OK, I'm trying and trying to get the banner into my signature because I figure if it stares me in the face everytime I post maybe it will be encouraging. But everytime I right click to paste, Paste is not an option! I'm copying but can't paste. That makes no sense to me. HELP!

By the way, I too shall not be posting my weight. It's just not right! By coincidence, my darling DH chose this evening to approach how much weight I have gained and how worried he is about me. I laughed my behind off (don't I wish!). Here he is strapped to an IV pole, 2 tubes draining God knows what out of his abdomen and strapped to his thigh, on a clear liquid diet, losing weight hand over fist, and he is worried about my weight and how I feel. He is amazing. I did tell him that tonight was not a good night to "pick on" me, even though I know his intentions were good. Especially since I had a Snickers bar for dinner on the way to the hospital!

Hopefully the url address for the banner will show below, if it does can you copy and paste it, then add it into your sig as a img file?

We have quite a long "LOSER" List going here. Which day is going to be "Weigh in day"?

Joanna

 

[kap158]

Good Morning fellow "losers"!!!lol

I weighed myself this am and definitely my scale has to be wrong!!! I will not post my weight either!!! Add Doreen to the list of losers, she doesn't know it but will be happy to be apart of this group. I have been doing Weight Watchers for 2 years now and I still have a long way to go. As they teach you go in small increments. 5lbs at a time is good. I still can't figure out how to add the banner. Can someone send me instructions. My navigator(Doreen) is home sleeping and she has a sinus infection. I won't bother her until later she called me with strict instructions not to call her so she can get some sleep.

Lyn & Bob - How did you make out yesterday?? How is Matt feeling?

Darlene - How is Stan doing?

Mary Rose- you still crack me up reading your posts!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!!
