DIS Ladies Only Meet 2006 Weight Loss Challenge - Starts March 28

[AdventurerKat]

Good morning everyone.

Well, the damage this trip was 2 pounds. I guess because we were not walking around the parks, that actually is not too bad. Although then again, I gained 2 pounds in a weekend.

Anyway, shaking it off and moving on.

Next...

kat, a 2 lb gain is not bad at all.
you will lose that within a few days.

eating out is fun and we all do it. especially when at the motherland.

i bet you will lose those 2 plus by next week at this time.


hoping sucess for all of my homies out there.

i start my liquid diet tomorrow evening after the surgery.
chocolate milkshakes, yum.

i don't expect to lose while on that......but hoping to maintain for next weeks' weigh in.

you all have a great day.

i am so glad our weigh in is on a tuesday. monday would be a killer for me

Good morning ladies.

Well I lost a pound this week. That seems to be the best I can do in a week. I figure if I keep this up I will lose 15 lbs by the time we leave on our trip. I was hoping for a little better but it's a darn sight better than where I'm at now. This puts me at 150 lbs. I hope next week to finally hit the 149 mark. I don't know why but for some reason I feel like that is a magic number, maybe because for so long I was 158 lbs.

Kat for being in WDW I don't think 2 lbs is bad at all, specially if you didn't do as much walking as usual. I could gain weight just looking at WDW's food.

Mac I am sorry that you are going to have to go through your surgery but I know that you will feel so much better when it is over and I bet you do loose some weight if all you have are milkshakes and no solid foods.

Good luck everyone on their weigh in.

So I'm starting to think that I've hit a plateu (sp?) I've stayed the same weight for the last 2 or 3 weigh-in's now. Not that I'm complaining but I think I need to cut back on my calorie intake now. I hope that everyone had a good week. Just rememeber to keep working hard. Never look back keep going forward!

 

[AdventurerKat]

Well, when I went to log in my weight I noticed it was actually 1.5, not 2. But that was because I was remembering the weigh-in before last. Last week I was up .5 pounds for whatever reason.

I'll still try to get the 2 off and hopefully another 1 or 2. I really would like to get to Onederland before the end of July.

Well if you don't count that one day last week when I gained 4 lbs and proceeded to lose it the next day, I stayed the same yet again.

Wendy, I am with you on the plateau thing. I think I have maintained this weight now for 3-4 weeks. I thought getting back on track with excercise would bring me down. I went to the gym 6 out of 7 days last week and still didn't lose.

Kat, I also agree that 2 lbs is not bad for being at WDW - so many tempting things there. If it wasn't for the walking, I would have gained 10 lbs when there.

If I had walked as much as I normally do, I don't think I would have gained. I did pretty good with food this trip. Didn't even have a single mickey bar...or ice cream at all for that matter. It will come off. I have faith.

Kelly, maybe your body is doing some transitioning and building muscle and that's why you're the same. Once that muscle starts burning the fat that still there, you'll see the loss. It will come. You are very good about working out. Can't say the same for myself...

Good afternoon ladies!

I have stuck to my plan 100%...well, without the exercising and dropped 3 pounds. I am glad. I had not lost a single ounce in the past few weeks! I may make it to my goal by the time the trip comes if I continue to stick with it! I hope all of you are doing great!

Kelly, I noticed that when I work out, my weight loss is slower. That is not a bad thing though! You are replacing fat with muscle weight. Soon, it will be melting off. Keep the faith!

 

[macraven]

Great loss Mac. You have done really well.

My height was 5'2 1/2" but I'm doing the old lady thing and they say I am 5'2". I don't believe them, how will I ever lose weight if my height is getting shorter. I will look like a ball.

 

[kelsco99]

That's a good loss Mac. I can't seem to get over this 16 lb hump...

January, that is awesome about your weight loss this week... it feels so good to lose more than 2 in one week. When I do that, it feels like getting ahead for the next week.

I hope you guys are right about the excercise affecting the weight loss. I always think the opposite cause I can always make better food choices so I always blame that. I am not good at the eating part of it. Exercise, I actually like to do when I can get to the gym.

 

[AdventurerKat]

Mac, I'm 5'7"

 

[macraven]

you are doing great kelsco


i would love to be 5' 7" kat.
i think it is an ideal height.
clothes fit better then

 

[kelsco99]

Mac, I am also 5' 3.5"

 

[macraven]

Mac, I am also 5' 3.5"

now i have someone to trade clothes with..........jk

i think we all range in different heights



when i step on the scale next after i start eating, i will probably even out and back to the original weight. which is not a bad thing

 

[TinksPixieDust]

So I actually went walking today. I made my lazy booty get up out of bed. I feel soooo much better now. There is a Curves just down the street from us. It's not in walking distance, but I am thinking about joining them anyway. I need to do a little research this morning to find out what time they open/close and how much it costs. I need to do something as DH just joined a gym over by his work. I will -not- let him pass me by. (Not that he needs to loose weight, he just wants to bulk up.)

 

[macraven]

wendy, each curves operates on different hours and schedules i found out.
when i went to visit my mom, i got a travel card that allowed me to visit free another curves. some have all 13 machines too.

the cost is different in each curves.
i should have joined the st louis one as it is over $100 cheaper than the one i joined in my town.
you can join any curves and get a card to go to any of the others in the usa.


i am on a medical leave now from curves. that way my contract will be extended once it is to expire.

you should be able to get a free 3 day trial at curves before you join up

Mac, you are such a sweetheart. I just love you. I was just coming here to post and saw your message to me, it made me teary.

I'm still having some bad days with the BF thing. You know every time I feel like it's getting better he finds a way to bring it all back. He did it to me again on Wednesday. I know that things are going to be hard as long as we continue to work together. After Wednesday though I just decided to make my peace with it and be happy no matter what because it's not good for me to continue letting this get me down. It's not good for my health or emotions. The last two days have been better but I still get twinges of sadness because I do love him and I do miss him a lot. When I broke it off I never thought it would be permanent but every day that passes feels like one more nail in the coffin for our relationship. I'm just praying a lot, trying to stay happy and be good to myself and trust God that if we're meant to be things will change and if not then He has someone out there that will be good to me and honestly love me. I just have to keep deciding now daily that I'm going to be happy and that's that. When those doubts, fears and other emotions start creeping in I just have to make the conscious effort to stop it and think about something good.

Okay, so what I really came to post was that I've managed to get back into the gym this week. I'm really proud of myself because it's been so hard. I have not been taking care of myself lately. Since everything that has happened with Brian I just have not felt like doing anything. I've just really been struggling with depression, self-esteem issues, not feeling well because of all the stress. Wednesday morning though I was lying in bed, it was around 8am and I was like you are being rediculous! You aren't going to go back to sleep, you aren't even getting any rest right now, get your sorry butt up and go to the gym! And I did! Then I went Thursday and this morning and am planning on going tomorrow too to make up for not going Monday or Tuesday. This morning I overslept and was running really late and it would have been so easy to skip it. I only had time to do 18 minutes on the treadmill but I went and I did it and I am soooo happy. I was doing so well with my weightloss before I started working at my current job about 16 months ago, then I started dating Brian and I just kind of lost myself in there somewhere but I'm determined now that I am going to take care of myself and no matter what comes my way I will not get derailed again.

I really want to thank Kat for starting this challenge, thank Mac for being such a huge supporter and thank everyone really for being open and honest about your struggles.

Mac, why are you having surgery? I think I missed that somewhere.

I was so glad to hear your post sweety. I know things are hard now, but things get better with time. Just know that we are all here for you and we all love you!!
