Coming back to WISH

[WDWLVR]

I joined WISH back in September of 2003 and did a good start at losing weight. Unfortunately life events in early 2004 had me slip off of WW and over the course of the year gained back most of the weight I lost.

Now that the new year is here and my cruise is behind me I thought it would be a good time to start up again.

So I've logged back on to WW and I'm back here on WISH where I know I'll get support.

Welcome back!!! I am coming back to, I know that there are alot of us out there that are coming back so we will have tons of encouragement!

Mary!!! Vija!!!

I'm so happy to see both of you here!!!

I'm sorry to say I've been pretty absent for awhile, too. I need to start over, but I know it'll be easier with you guys here!

Here's to a new year, and a new start for all of us!

 

[Mom of Sleepy Bashful and BabyDoc]

Welcome back Mary. I've restarted recently also.

Hey congrats, Kathy on the Webmaster!! WoooHooo!!!

Count me in . I am new to the WISH board, but hopefully, I will become a regular.

Just a little about me...I am a 35 (almost 36) year old WAHM of two ds (5 1/2 and just about 2). I am an outside agent for a local travel agency and obviously, a Disney Freak.

Up until my mid-20s I never had to worry about my weight. I was pretty active (although no real exercise) and weighed 105-110 (I'm 5'1"). Then I got married, was slightly less active and had my first son at 30. Since then my weight has been a huge issue (no pun intended...lol). I've tried WW on and off and have lost weight, but I've never needed to lose this much. I am now at my highest non-pregnancy weight...158lbs and I need to do something about it! I would love to lose 30-35 lbs., by our June WDW trip. I am going to try WW (just don't think SB or Atkins will work for me for the long haul) again.

I will be popping in as much as possible to hopefully lend support as well as receive it!

Good luck to all who are trying to lose and congratulations to those who have reached there goals!!! You are truly an inspiration!

Welcome back Mary! Your story sounds a lot like mine. I started WISH back in Aug. 2003, like you I lost a lot of weight. However my problems started in the later half of 2004, so although I have put some weight on, I haven't re-gained it all. So as it's the start of a new year, I'm coming back to WISH with a clean slate, and a new enthusiasm

Good luck to you with WW's. We can all do this if we stay strong!

MARY!!!!!
I'm waiting here for the kids to finish up to start school and I thought "what the heck, I'll just look at the WISH board." (I've been subscribed, but not here for a long time) Since our threads haven't had any new posts in the last 3 minutes I had a little free time

And what do I see, but MARY coming back to WISH. Well, if that isn't inspiration for me to get my butt in gear! ohMom PM'd me several months back, and I thought that would get me going, but alas, there was too much planning and things to do for the 10 day that I didn't stay.

I'm here with ya, Mary!

Welcome back Mary, I'm with ya! I completely ignored sanity over the holidays -- I didn't even read this board, out of guilt! How crazy is that? I've promised myself I will read this every morning, I always come away with some kind of encouragement. We're all in this together, and I'm looking forward to hearing all your successes!
Have a wonderful day,

Hey there from one homeschooling mom to another!

 

[Desiree]

Welcome back Mary! I'm rejoining myself! Best of luck to you!

 

[Beastlover]

Hellloooooo!!! Good to see you!! I'm back too!!

 

[airhead]

And it doesn't take long to feel like you never left!!

 

[goofyshell]

Can I come back too? I joined several months ago but never stuck to my plan to exercise and eat better (and sleep more!)
I need to lose about 70 lbs. to be at my "goal weight" according to those charts. I would like to lose at least 60 lbs. to be at my goal weight.
I am 34 SAHM with three kids. What kind of exercise did some of you start out with? Thanks for the encouragement!

 

[WDWLVR]

Thanks for the welcome back everyone! It will make it easier for me to stay accountable for myself.

Karen - so nice to see you here! We should get a thread started for those of us who want to get in shape before our next cruise!
