<------needs to lose 30 pounds before Aug.

Hi all

Can I join y'all? I seriously need to lose 30 pounds before our next WDW trip, cause girlfriend needs to wear a bikini again!
I lost 20 pounds last year with EDiets. I love, love, loved it! The program, that is. I have tons of recipes if anyone wants some. All under 400 calories. I'll have to do the 1500 calorie/day thing.... gulp!!!
I don't have a problem limiting my food intake and making healthy choices, I have a problem with the exercise portion of it all. I am seriously a couch potato/internet junkie. I need to get off my bum and get moving.

Ok, I'm gonna do it.... tomorrow??? Can't do it today, I stuffed my face this morning with a huge breakfast burrito. Oink, oink!

You all are my encouragement!!!! First goal... 5 pounds!!! Here I come!!

Great job everybody! James survived the stomach virus....so pitiful when a 6 yr old has it. The memories will be my appetite suppresant for the week. I baked 24 pies yesterday....don't ask...and am preparing dinner for 75 tonight so wish me luck.

 

[eeyore45]

aw Melinda, those tummy virus' with our babies are tuff!! mean bugs pickin on babies!!!

I got interrupted - lost my train of thought - Welcome to weekends in my house!!

Well we have a consenous - EXERCISE SUCKS

so let us hold hands, and GET OVER IT!! ( I will if you will!! ) (<eeyore grabs minnie mouse by computer and gets a hug>)

So... how can we motivate each other? I will continue to post tips... mine are in stretches... (chin stretch, upper arm flab stretch, and the waist stretch)

When you see a tip, or a recipe, copy and paste it to word document... make a copy and tape it somewhere - make a sticky note...think WWPD?
( ie what would peeps do?)

I'm trying to right before or right after an internet session, to get up and that's right, its not as good as a free class with free babysitting ( ) - but are you going to let that stop you??

I cannot go outside in the cold wet rain with the wind pelting at me and walk, I'm beyond poor, so forget buying any memberships, or treadmills... but I have 2 legs and a tv, so I just get up and watp (walk away the pounds - either by dvd or just stand there and jog in place for 15 min!!)

so my baby steps are just do 15 min. I certainly have the attention span to move for 15 min, with clicker in hand to surf right?? are you with me??

I said... "ARE YOU WITH ME??"

 

[lexmelinda]

"ARE YOU WITH ME??"

YES...WE ARE WITH YOU!!!

 

[eeyore45]

PS TWINKIE step away from those cookies ya hear??

come on -

I want to make sure y'all have a mascot by your computer - its UTM suggestion its a "skinny Minnie" a minnie mouse to remind us to STAY THE COURSE -

I've found it great for hugs... seriously... when you type I grab Minnie, and cuddle... we need comforting - comfort without using FOOD!!!

Hi everyone

Ok I have to confess my sins to someone, so it might as well be the gal pals who can't look me in the eye

I cheated today I feel sooooo guilty! My kids had a birthday to go to today..and just guess where it was....MCDONALDS. AHHHH! I have to admit I got sucked in by the smell of those fries I did only eat a small, which probably onlyhas 500 calories I also had a a small piece of cake.

O.K confession over(say 3 hail marys and WWPD 500 times)

Off to Ty Bo now(video that is) I just love that guy. Besides you guys he is the only one who can really pep me up.

Keep it up everyone

 

[honeymo78]

Yay! Its almost time to go home and exercise. That’s right, I didn’t get any in during lunch. Getting food and running some errands took a lot longer than expected so I couldn’t justify going back out for another 20 min. Lets hope there is traffic and DH takes a while to get home so I can get in at least 15 minutes on the treadmill before he wants dinner.

Poohbear – I’m glad you confessed your McDonalds sin. At least you only ordered the small fries. I don’t know how many times I’ve told myself I’m only getting one thing and end up with a lot more.

Eeyore – kudos for not sampling at the grocery store. And how come I always manage to go to the store when I’m hungry.

Twinkie – that’s what we are all here for. Anytime I need a pick me up I know you guys will be there.

Minnie – that Danish thing you made sounds so yummy!

I’m glad everyone enjoyed the pics. We’re going to NYC for the afternoon in Dec so I’m sure I’ll have some pics of me falling on the ice and hopefully some character pics at the World of Disney store.

Food today:
Multi grain bagel with lite cream cheese
Coffee with splenda
Big salad with carrots, cucumbers, tomato and onion with ff Italian dressing
Lemon tea with splenda
I lost count of how many mugs of water I had but it was a lot
I also DIDN’T eat a soup at hand I had brought in case the salad didn’t fill me up

Mmmm I can almost taste the pizza leftovers now. That salad and no snacking were definitely worth it.

I'm Stephanie and I have tons of weight to lose but I'm working with baby steps here. First goal is to lose 13 more lbs and get back under 200. Once there I get to pick a new color for my hair - wavering between something reddish or just getting highlights again, probably will depend on how close it is to our March trip cause I love highlights in my disney pics.

Welcome Stephanie!! Great idea to reward yourself with non food items when you reach a specific goal!

I can eat pasta and potatoes for breakfast lunch and dinner. Diets failed me in the past because I was allowed to have them. I've been South Beaching it on and off for almost 2 years. The first seriously trip on it I lost 40. The only hard part was the first 2 weeks. I was literally detoxing, if that's a word, and once I got through the no bread, pasta, potatoes, I was ok. I still love them, but I know what they do to me and I try to stay far far away from them.

You and me both sister!!! I am a white food lover, diets never really worked for me until I got them totally under control!

All you SBDers I need some help. I'm still trying to stick with Ph1 but I'm so sick of eggs I simply can't do another week eating them for breakfast so I need some new ideas.

I'm not much help with the b'fast ideas, I HATE eggs, any kind of eggs (unless of course it's wrapped around a baked good) What I ate for b'fast most mornings was a hanful of almonds and a string cheese, washed down with a large glass of water.

Since I have a feeling I’m going to be a slug when I get home tonight I’m going to take a 15-20 min walk while at work this afternoon. Hey, it’s better than not walking at all. I really should try and walk to the art museum but that might take longer than I’m planning.

This is a great idea, try and do it most days, and then it becomes a routine, and guess what? you won't "feel like a slug" anymore.

Danish in a bowl:

In a microwave-safe bowl, thouroughly blend 1/2 cup low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese with 1 egg. Mix in 1 to 2 tsps. Splenda (or equivalent sweetness of another artificial sweetener), a dash of cinnamon, and a few drops of vanilla. Drop in a few slivers of no-trans-fat margerine, and a few small chunks of cream cheese substitute (if p1) or low-fat/fat-free cream cheese (if p2). Sprinkle top with a small amount of brown sugar substitute and 1 tsp. or so of chopped nuts (if you prefer). In phase 2, I also sprinkle the top with 1 tbsp. wheat bran for a little extra fiber.
Microwave until thoroughly set and bubbly (about 4 minutes in my microwave). Cool slightly and enjoy.

This was so yummy that I thought I was eating a very illegal carb. Now my substitution was ricotta (part skim) for the cottage cheese.

Oh Minnie that sounds de-lish!!!! I haven't really ventured into the ricotta cheese since I got off P1, but after reading this recipe I might just have to get some! Thanks!!

Well I reweighed again this morning and Im done another 1lb and a half... so I cant wait to see what it says next friday.

AWESOME!!! You're gonna have a BIG loss on friday!!

I went to the grocery store and didnt eat the samples (wwpd?)

So hard, especially Costco on a Saturday!!! OMG the temptation!!! You did great at resisting, give yourself a "high-five"

Hi all

Can I join y'all? I seriously need to lose 30 pounds before our next WDW trip, cause girlfriend needs to wear a bikini again!

First off WELCOME! Secondly a "bikini"? Oh my I don't think I've seen a bikini I'd like to ever wear!!! When's your next trip? I'm sure you'll lose those 30 pounds, with the motivation of going out in public wearing a bikini I'm sure you'll get there, and then some!!

Great job everybody! James survived the stomach virus....so pitiful when a 6 yr old has it. The memories will be my appetite suppresant for the week. I baked 24 pies yesterday....don't ask...and am preparing dinner for 75 tonight so wish me luck.

So glad DS is feeling better. How are you doing? Staying home with a sick child can really wear you out! 24 pies, I'm glad I don't live near by, I LOVE pie, but it doesn't love me.

Well we have a consenous - EXERCISE SUCKS

Ok Sandy - I'm going to take that literally, exercise SUCKS the wiggly, giggly bits right on off!!

Ok I have to confess my sins to someone, so it might as well be the gal pals who can't look me in the eye

I cheated today I feel sooooo guilty! My kids had a birthday to go to today..and just guess where it was....MCDONALDS. AHHHH! I have to admit I got sucked in by the smell of those fries I did only eat a small, which probably onlyhas 500 calories I also had a a small piece of cake.

Poohbear77- you're just living life. No need to confess!! I'm sure you've beaten yourself up over it enough! Just get out there and move, it'll make you feel better!

As for me I weighed myself this morning (as I do every morning) and I'm down a pound, do you know what that means????

I've reached the 50 pound mark!!!! I'm so Happy I could prance around and tell everyone. But I won't, people think I'm weird enough with all the Disney talk I do!
In honor of my reaching 50 I went shopping and tried on some pants. I grabbed about 10-12 pair of assorted sizes. And I bought 2 pair. The first is a size smaller than what I'm wearing right now, and they fit; They even come with a belt, so I can wear them once they start to get a little big on me. the 2nd is 2 sizes smaller, and they kinda fit: pulled them all the way on, buttoned, zipped, but it didn't look too pretty; pantylines and all.
Maybe I should wear my not too pretty one's for Thanksgiving, That'll keep me in my place (Outta the range of food!)
Have a great weekend peeps!

 

[monymony3471]

WOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO JILLLLLLLLLL

50 Big ugly ones gone!!!!!!!!

WAY TO GO!!!!!

 

[monymony3471]

Monica, I just read your pre-trippie, very funny. This should be a fun report when you get back.

Thanks! I'm having fun with it. However, it's hard to follow in the foot steps of our fearless leader, Utahmama. She so rocks! But, I'm s-l-o-w-l-y gaining on her.

 

[spongemommie05]

well hello all,
how is everyone doing today? just checkin in! got alot of things to get done so i'll check back, in a lil bit

 

[Bee]

Ok everyone,

I took the first step and lurked here for a bit. Couldnt read all the pages, did read several though.

I want you all to know that I have enjoyed the company of quite a few of you by reading your trip reports.

I weighed about 280 then a few months ago I had a degenerated disc and I had to have a spinal fusion. I was so excited because I thought I had lost weight when I was home.. then I went to the doctor and I had gained.. Now I weigh almost 300lb. I am tired of being this way. I am still unable to work due to I have to get the back to heal some. I have been home since August 1st and cant even look for a new job til Jan 8th when I go back to doctor. Hoping he will give the go ahead then.

I cant exercise much due to him not wanting me to twist and such. So, I was wondering if I can join you all... but, you will all be done way before me.
My doctor did give me some diet pills.. I just havent taken any yet.. frankly, I am bored and eating is all I really do..

Hope you accept me..

I promise I will work on the boo hoo of it all.. I really do have a sense of humor.... HONEST!!!

[aries1980]

Ok ladies i went to take DD to see Happy Feet.... and I cheated a little... I got a childs popcorn with butter. Well it was better than the large that i used to get. But I dont feel that bad because get this a small popcorn is 4 cups of popcorn and according to the nutritional facts on a cup of movie thearte butter popcorn each cup is only 82 calories thats right 82 calories!!! So my cheat was only 320 calories, which ironically enough is my allotted snack credits for today!!!! So happy I didnt go over the 1600, but just to make sure I'm going to walk around the block a couple of times tonight!

I enriched pasta for dinner a cup and a half of that. and I'm still working on the rest of my water!!

I dont think I will be back on again tonight but Good work ladies from reading everything....

WELCOME BEE!!!
