It's never too late to join

Welcome everyone!!

 

[CDisney]

I've been doing Weight Watchers for five months and have lost 30 pounds. With summer around the corner, I need to renew my commitment. I hit the gym this morning for the first time in ages and found y'all today. It's easier to reach goal when you surround yourself with people striving for the same thing!

 

[nativetxn]

Welcome to WISH CDisney. You too, Mousekemom. I'm so glad y'all decided to join us.

We have a great support group going here. I hope to see you here often.

I am going to accept the challenge ant start the Atkins diet tommorow,
I need lots of encouragement as I need to lose at least 40 pounds. It is absolutely vital that I lose this weight as it is now affecting my health.
Landed up in coronary care three weeks ago with chest pains.
I have also re joined the gym.

Welcome to our group Lynda, and we are happy to have you with us!!



I too am on the Atkins plan, and have lost 24 pounds in 5 weeks. I have not yet seen my doctor to know what effects it has had on my cholesterol & triglycerides, but I eagerly anticipate the improvement I have read about.

This place offers tons of support & encouragement............now go grab that clip-art & get official!! LOL

Count me in. I lost over 40 lbs and put them back on while my husband was ill last year. I have been swearing I'd go back to my weight loss. I even joined Curves, but you have to go to lose. So starting tomorrow I am putting down my soda and junk food and picking up my water and sneakers and heading to Curves.

My disney trip is only 54 days away and I would love to be able to wear a bathing suit. Do you think 54 days is enough to loss 30 lbs?

Lyn,
Love that picture!

I think that is the only one we did not get last year!

It is so nice to see what everyone looks like.

lisajl:

Thanks, the picture is a little too big and I am waiting for techinal support to help me downsize it. I wish they could downsize me too while they are at it.

 

[nativetxn]

Welcome lynr and lisajl. I'm glad you decided to take the WISH challenge.

lynr, you might be able to lose almost 30 pounds, I lost 23 1/2 in less than 60 days.

 

[rbuzzotta]

Is it too late to join the challenge? I started Atkins last Monday, today is day 8!! I weighed myself the other day and have a challenge going on with DH. We both need to lose weight but have different ideas on how it should be done.

I would love to drop 20 lbs by summer, 25-30 would be ideal!!!!

I hope to come by here for lots of support.........

Thanks

I can't believe this, I have managed to lose another 5 lbs ever since the calories reduction plan and kept it off. Best of all, my old suits that I couldn't fit prior to the weight loss program, needs to be taken in about a inch to two inch. Imagine that I still have another 10 lbs to go for the ideal weight. My tailor is going to love me for all the extra business.

Total weight loss: 20lbs, 5 lbs after joining WISH group!

 

[jlawall]

Hey Kelsey! I want to add the 15 clippie...I've lost 19.4 so far. I can't get it to work right. Do you have any suggestions?

 

[mamagoggle]

I decided in mid January that it was time to lose some weight and get some exercise. Then I decided to reward myself in a year with a Disney Cruise. Of course it makes sense to book in advance so I will be making my reservations soon..... Now I just have to earn my reward!!!

At work we started a pedometer walking program where you are supposed to walk at least 6000 steps per day. My goal has been at least 10,000 steps per day so I have been spending some time on the treadmill everyday and adding steps wherever I can. I have also been using the Weight Watchers point program to control my eating. (No meetings though...just the stuff I got from the last time I joined). So far I am doing well. I am motivated to look better on my 2004 cruise than I did on our 2001!

 

[nativetxn]

jlawall--go to the technical support board, they can help you over there if you are having problems with putting the clipart in your signature.

mamagoggle, I'm so glad you decided to join us. We have a terrific support group here on WISH.

I enjoyed a 7 day Western cruise in September, 2002, it was wonderful. Hmmm, I wonder if I could convince my husband to let me cruise again if I get thin...

Pleeasseee tell me it's not too late!! I've been so bad - I posted here in January and lost all motivation. I was just able to catch up with the bandwagon and jump back on. Me and a co-worker have been Somersizing - this is my first week and it's sooo hard but I'm trying to get through it. I really need the support of others - DH gives in too easily!

I would love to lose 50 lbs by December 6th - our next WDW trip!!

Thanks muchly!

Hi,

I am currentlyon the Weight Watchers program, have been since September. I have lost 34 pounds since then and have a bunch more to go. I would like to join this thread/WISH thing........

One question what does w.i.s.h. stand for?

Looking forward to many happy loses and not a single return .

"I've been putting this off far too long!"

I want to join, too! What do I do? I need to lose about 50# ARGH! I got about 25 off (in 9 weeks) before my 11/12 cruise but had given up what w/ Christmas and everything and now it's mostly crept back on. Got another cruise in 11/03. I'll be using the Body Makeover diet (similar to the Zone) - low salt no sugar lots of protein, small amounts of complex carbs. This worked before cause it eliminated my cravings (I start binging if I get alot of salt and sweet - get thee behind me, Kettle Corn!)

Seeing my college roomate for the first time in almost 20 years in 2 1/2 weeks - guess I can't do much by then - sigh! Maybe I can get back down 20 or so by DS's college graduation in May - I need intermediate steps cause November is too far away!

Welcome to our WISH family everyone.

<b>CrzyforPiglet</b> I'm so glad you caught up with the band wagon. 50 pounds by December sounds like a reasonable goal to me

<b>Betsyt82</b> WISH =<b>W</b>e're <b>I</b>nspired to <b>S</b>tay <b>H</b>ealthy. In my case WISH actually stands for wish, as in I wish I wasn't so fat We have a great support group going here, glad you could join us. Grab the clipart and visit often.

<b>Kabuli1</b> if you eat a controlled carbohydrate diet there's a good chance that you could lose quite a bit of weight in 2 1/2 weeks. I lost 12 pounds my first two weeks on Atkins and 18 pounds in 3 weeks. I'm really glad you decided to join our support group. Grab the DIS WISH Challenge clipart and visit often.

Wovenwonder has some great instructions for adding the clipart to your signature right <b>HERE</b>

Welcome to all of our new WISH members, I hope you all can visit often and join in with the fun we have here.

It must be a sign that I found this Forum on the very morning I've got a doctor's appt to talk about doing a weight loss program. So count me in (if it's not too late). My weight goal is to lose about 40 pounds. My overall goal is just to feel better.

For exercise, I plan on daily walks, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, stretching, and using weights for upperbody strenght. I had been going to a gym for quite awhile but I kept getting various injuries (plus other people's sweat grosses me out!)

I'm looking forward to using this forum as a support system and seeing how others are progressing too because that's a great motivator.

Hope to be in good shape for my December visit to WDW!!!

Is it too late to join? We just signed up for a 7 day Western Cruise on 11/8/03 (belated for my 40th birthday in August) and I am determined to lose! Have rejoined WW and need some more motivation. This should be it. I do not want to be 40 and fat!

WW had worked for me in the past, losing over 65 pounds, then another baby and a lot of bad habits, I'm the heaviest I have ever been.

I am going to try and get back on the treadmill! Having foot problems now, but I have to do something!

I love the DIS Boards and am a confirmed WDWaholic. My husband humors me, but doesn't really understand me .

Atkins scares me, so I'll stick with WW for now.

How do I add clipart? New to all of this.
