OK...here is the start to our new "Rum Runner Weight Loss Challenge!" Now all we need are some rules for the challenge...Anyone???

As far as rules go, I would say we're on the honor system. (If you're caught cheating you will be made to wear a duck beak on the rum run and be labeled the "Designated Duck" with appropriate signage... lol). Winner can be chosen by everyone as we get close to our sail date.
Should we make a special ticker for us?

I am in!

 

[Kanga+2Roos]

I am definitely in! I mean, I wasn't serious about it until you started talking bedazzled Minnie bow!

I'll probably officially start my diet after our August vacation--then it's on!

Thanks for getting this going!

 

[DontRushMe]

I figure there is not a better way to keep myself honest than to make it public. I lost 3 pounds this week. I hope I never find them again.

If you haven't tried the Special K "K20" Protein Powder Drink mix yet, give it a try. I liked the Strawberry Kiwi, but not the iced tea. I am very picky about things that have a diet after taste. The strawberry was very good, not to diet tasting. It was a nice treat for something flavorful other than water and I did find it kept me feeling full for the late afternoon snacking time before dinner. Which is where I usually eat everything in sight.

Good Luck to you all this week!

I am a late night snacker. After the boys are in bed and I settle down to watch TV I get so peckish I eat and eat

I have added your thread to the cruise meet list

Hey...

My husband has been a member of the board for a few years and has finally convinced me to join.
Thanks Baby!

We'll be on The Dream from April 3-7.

My weight loss goal for the cruise is to lose 25 pounds - and be in a size 8-10.

So...how does this work?

Thank you in advance!!!

What a great reason to join!

We really haven't decided on all the rules for the challenge yet, we just thought it would be a good idea for us to start loosing before we cruise. I find if I try to keep it to myself then it is easy to cheat because no one knows, so I am telling everyone I see that I have a goal by April.

By the way this is how I look in Zumba class!

 

[TinkerTY]

Hi Dawn...

I used to take Zumba 3 days a week (one night for 3+ hours) It's so much fun!!!

I have been doing Zumba and also Jazzercise since January. I have lost 25 pounds and almost 10 inches.

I set a goal weight for the cruise...and I'm half way there. I'm certain that I will be able to make my goal by April!!!

 

[DontRushMe]

That is fabulous! This is only my second week, I hope I can be as successful as you! Keep it up! I can't imagine Zumba for 3 hours, I wouldn't be able to walk.

 

[jetskigrl]

TinkerTy - awesome job!!!

I plan on joining everyone here, but I think I will probably wait until after I get back from WDW. No point worrying about it now

But after mid-August....I'm here!!

 

[disneytraceyl]

I am in.
I guess I need to take a bike ride after dinner tonight....
This is what I do all day.
Looking to loose as much as I can.....

 

[CADisneyMom]

Count me in!! Since I go to bed really early (7 pm) I have to eat dinner, if I eat at all that is, really early - no later then 4pm. I was off work for 2.5 months and lost 10 lbs there and so far I've kept it off, I already went down 1 size. I want to go down 2 more sizes by the cruise. I better start doing my Wii Fit again. LOL

Hey Everyone! And welcome to TinkerTY!


I was getting ready to comment that there was not much activity on our cruise meets board this week...and then I clicked on this new thread and saw everyone's postings! This is great!


Boy do I need this right now! Just spent 7 nights in a cabin, in the mountains, with each cabin doing an activity/dinner night, with huge amounts of food!!! Needless to say...I need to lose a few!


I am not sure how to set this challenge up. We could vote for a winner, have each person who makes their goal be a winner...any thoughts?


Well, however it gets set-up...count me in. My goal is going to be to get back into an exercise routine (I used to run every other day - had to stop last year because my knees were giving out.) So we now have our new eliptical machine and ab circle pro thing. I need to be exercising at least 4 times a week. With constant exercise, hopefully my body will get back from flab to fit. I only need to lose a few pounds...we don't even own a scale...but I can tell when I have those extra pounds! My check-ins will consist of making sure that I exercised...and changing the flab to fit - I will keep you all posted. It all starts today!


Congratulations to those that have already started progress towards their weight loss goal!

Hi everyone! This is my official Monday morning message. I only lost 1.5 pounds. I only made it to Zumba once last week. Hmmm... I wonder if excercising really has something to do with weight loss???

Hope you are all doing well!

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

Hello Everyone!


This is my Monday morning check-in (even though it is Sunday evening!) I did it! I exercised 5 days this week - about 30 minutes each time. I love my new eliptical machine! I hope to see some results within the next few weeks - my husband and I are going to wedding that will have a bunch of high school/college friends in attendance - and then our cruise on LOTS.


Now I put a on my opening because we keep on buying ice cream sandwiches and nutty buddies! Yikes! If I continue consuming ice cream creations - then my exercising is just balancing out my new snack!


I hope that everyone has a great start to the week!


Crystal

 

[disneytraceyl]

Happy Monday. Oh maybe not. Haven't lost anything here. I guess not more ice cream would be a better idea. Start again this week....

 

[WDWCrazyfromGA]

Hello Everyone! I'm starting next week - since I was finishing an ice cream bar as I started reading this thread! I am just like EcbLovesMickey - night time snacking for me. When I was traveling this summer for business - dinner time was 930-1000 - so that is where my weight gain really came from. It's not the pounds for me - its the fact that my clothes do not fit and we all know that my spare $$ needs to go towards my Disney habit!

My goal is no snacking after dinner, drink 6 bottles of water each day, and exercise 30 minutes 4 nights a week......


This is fun with an accountability group! Good luck to all of us

 

[Disney On A Dime!]

I have only exercised twice this week so far!


I still have Saturday and Sunday to go...I don't know where the time is going???
