DIS Ladies Only Trip 2007 WISH!

[TDC Nala]

Hey, I won something. That never happens.

Now I won't eat anything at WDW.

I'd like to thank Rachael Ray for the soup recipes.

Becky, I know exactly how you are feeling. Its a struggle every day and all we can do is decide we're going to fight for it. Its hard for me to tell me what they need to do when I haven't been so successful at it myself but I do know I keep trying and I know that's the beginning of any success.

You can do this and be healthy. We all can. I truly believe that.

First off, congrats to the contest winners.


I am doing okay. Was kind of avoiding this thread as I had been putting weight back on. I am happy to say that of the seven I had lost, and put back on, I am now down six. Not too horrible. I haven't been strictly following weight watchers, just trying to listen to my body and keep a bit more active, though not nearly as active as I need to be. I need to step it up though, so many things coming up that I say I don't want to still be fat then. Heck, I am tired of being fat all the time. I'm tired of it when I need to buy clothes, when I'm going out, etc.... I hate that that's what people look at me and see, since I don't *feel* like a fat person. We were looking through some old pics Sunday night and I was looking at myself in high school and college and I just say Ugh. Look what I've done to myself. I hope everyone else is doing better with it than I am.

Kelly and Catherine, you both deserve it. You're both doing great! You both managed to do something that I can't seem to do which is go out of town, be it to Costa Rica or Orlando, and still lose weight. That's fantastic!

I see that I did top 3 after I pigged out majorly on mexican today for lunch...

It really is the support from eveyone here that is helping me... I know I can come here and bit** and not get judged.. Its really hard for me to lose weight.. Ever since I had emily I have been lazy. I did just go the other day and have lots of blood work done to try and find out if I have any other problems.. Like thyroid... low iron... I am having lots of problems and I am hoping that there is a reason I can't lose weight...

Good luck to eveyone... Keep up the hard work..

I agree I am so bad when i go out of town.. You guys should really be proud of yourselves...

 

[TDC Nala]

y'all just wait until I come back from that cruise, you'll make me give the prize back

 

[AdventurerKat]

We sure won't Catherine. You've earned it.

I came across this perusing the web today if anyone wants to take a look, its Consumer Reports diet ratings. WW came in second if anyone cares. I really need to get back on track with that.

Thanks for the link Kat... I am going to check it out.


I have been on my soup diet now for 3 full days (today starts my 4th). I weighed myself this morning because it said if I didn't cheat, I should have lost 5-7lbs by now. I have lost 6!!! I know it is mostly water and I will have to work hard to maintain the loss but it's really helping me get to where I wanted to be at this point.

4 more days to go (I'm not sick of the soup yet!)

 

[AdventurerKat]

Wow Kelly. Thats a good bunch. You probably don't have much water weight to lose at this point so I bet its just good old fat.

I got on the scale this morning too. Since the candy dish is not out in the open at work anymore I am not tempted every time I pass it. I have lost a pound.

But then I went to look at some tops and could not find anything cute that would fit me. That always upsets. Especially when its something in a size I think SHOULD fit. Oh well. Keep on keeping on.

 

[kelsco99]

That's great Kat that you lost a lb. You will be successful if you keep taking small steps in the right direction.

Sorry about the shopping trip. I really don't like shopping for clothes at all. It is hardly ever a successful trip. At my size, I tend to be satisfied enough if I can find something that fits at all.

I hope my loss is fat but I can't see how I could lose that much of it in 3 days. It is probably muscle you know what though, I don't care! I just want to get my weight down to a manageable size and I really need to take advantage of this motivation I have right now. If I ever get closer to my goal, that's when I will worry more about muscle/fat etc.

MAN IT IS HARD THOUGH!!!!! I have a running list of foods I want to get my hands on when this week is up. I'll have to be very careful not to put the weight right back on. Topping my list right now is a roasted chicken sub from subway...then chocolate cake... and a butter tart....mmmm...

 

[AdventurerKat]

I bet you do Kelli. Just try not to go overboard.

I just usually can fit into the high end of Misses tops and for some reason today, every one I tried on would not fit me. Its so sad. I don't weigh any more than I did the last time I tried on the Misses tops out there. I guess they are making them smaller to make me There was one cute one I really loved. I may have to lose weight just to get into that top!

 

[kelsco99]

Still going on the soup diet... haven't cheated yet except that little bit of bbq sauce I put on my steak... it gets harder and harder everyday and I can't wait for Tuesday. I'm not hungry, just miss my good food. It's working though - 7lbs gone

Have you found any cute shirts that fit the way you like Kat?

 

[AdventurerKat]

I found nothing today. I have had two days of really unfortunate clothes shopping experiences and it is not helping me any. I managed to fight off the urge to wallow in a bag of chocolate chip cookies so I guess that's something.

I guess that's my cue to try harder.

I think this is the hardest thing I will ever have to do. There are harder situations but more often then not we are forced into dealing/living with those. Losing weight falls completely on our own shoulders. We own every decision we make. so hard...

Fell off the diet last night... and boy did it ever wreak havoc on my stomach.

The top three are:

1. Kelly
2. Catherine

That is fantastic Kat!

 

[Yardbird]

That's great Kat!

Kelly you are doing awesome!

 

[TinksPixieDust]

Kat, Awesome job!!!

I've noticed that Kelly is loosing more also!

I wish I had as much will power as you. I'm skipping weighing in this week. I think I can anyway. Kat, If I need to to stay in the challenge just let me know. Thanks!

 

[AdventurerKat]

Wendy, I think you're o.k. but let me check when I get home.
