Hello all....

[Disney1fan2002]

Can I join?

I have been struggling for a year to take weight off, last year at this time, I wanted to lose 40 pounds before my October 2002 trip to WDW. It didn't happen. Now, I am back up to what I weighed last year, and I have another WDW trip coming up at Thanksgiving. I would love to be down 40-50 pounds by then , with the rest of what I need off by April 2004 for our next trip, the Disney Cruise.

All total, I need to lose 75 pounds to be at my goal. I tried WW's and it didn't really work. I am going to try it again, this time, add more walking and exercise, and really journal and stay within my points. I am also going to try a low-carb version.

You will find so much wonderful support from all the losers here at WISH!!
You can do this- lots of folks here like the low carb diets and have some great recipe suggestions- and there's a great challenge by Alex that'll help you stay on your exercise goals-

I joined on April 1st- needing to lose about 86 pounds total- so far I've lost 10 and have picked up my exercising- I can really tell the difference in my clothes and all my friends are noticing too- that's just butter!

I started a journal and I think this is a great way to encourage and be encouraged!!! Just come on in and enjoy the friendship and hopefully you'll become a big loser!!
