Joining the W.I.S.H. challenge!

Well - I am up for the challenge. Tax season is almost over which means I can focus on exercise and taking care of myself.

I am doing WW points but also low carb with loads of exercise. I will make my weigh-in day Friday. This is so motivating. Looking forward to finding a PM buddy as well.

Wear a size 22 currently want to get down to a 12 (prob. need to lose about 100 lbs)

Welcome...pull up a treadmill and join us! I bet you can do it, and it won't take 100 lbs. I have gone from a 22 to an 8 and have lost 65 pounds. I know you can do it!!!

Welcome! Glo is right about the sizes thing.....just stick with it and you will hit that size 12! I've lost 20lbs so far and have dropped 2 pant sizes....it is a great feeling.
Good luck to you!

Thanks for the encouragement!

As to the 100 lb thing - its true. It takes me about 20 lbs to lose a size (I'm 5'10" and tend to carry/lose weight all over).

Looking forward to ready everyones updates!

Hi aurora19, welcome to WISH. WISH has been very helpful to me. I had 100 pounds to lose when I started in January on Atkins, now I have 67.5 to lose. I lost 13.5 pounds on WISH so far. The people here on WISH are just great, always there to motivate and inspire me. Always there to bop me on the head when I need it. I owe a lot of my success to WISH.

Grab your DIS WISH challenge clipart <b>HERE</b>. You will be trading up to a 5 pound loss clippie very soon, I'm sure.

I hope you can visit WISH everyday. I do and it helps me so much.

Glad you are here aurora!

I'm only 5'2'' and it takes alot for me to lose a size. I also have 100 pounds to lose so I'll be here for quite awhile! Pull up a seat and join me. I'm eating low carb. BUT, I bet that if I calculated my food for the day I don't go over what WW would allow in points. That's the great thing about lowering carb intake -- the cravings go away for me and I eat less!
