Hi there diser's this thread is 100% for me so that I can finally hold myself accountable for my actions and finally get back on track. I've fallen off the wagon so many times that half the time getting back on is the hardest part.
Why the dis? I've lurked for many years probably around 3 years now on the dis. I've read tons of trip reports and all the tips and tricks of the trade. I've also had the oppurtunity to go to disneyland earlier this year for the first time and with everything i learned from the dis it was a fabulous time and i wish i could go back.
Background info on me. I'm currently 22, going back to school part time to get a certificate in Medical office assisting and just got a part time job doing some data entry work. My days are going to be a lot shorter now and i've suddenly gotten a lot busier. Busy enough to forget to eat as much i hope!
In May of this year i decided to get back on the wagon and lose some weight and i succeeded in losing about 30 pounds those 2 month. Then i fell off the wagon the next couple of months and now it is september and i have gained 10 pounds back putting me at almost 200 pounds again, i'm more at 198 now but darnit i REFUSE to be over 200 again. My goal weight is hopefully going to be around 140ish by next year may. I really want to get down to about 155 by december. I feel fat all the time, i went to disneyland and stressed out about some rides thinking i was too fat for them but they were fine. I dont' want to live the rest of my life being the fat one, hiding in large sweaters and being scared to go kayaking or horsebackriding thinking i'll sink the boat or kill the horse. It's time to make a change!
My new regime is as follows, a light breakfast, work/studying/school - i'll bring a light snack (eg, crackers, cheese, watered down cranberry juice, bagels), and then come home to a nice fruit platter or salad. I can't drink/eat anything with aspartame or fake sugar in it as i get horrendous migraines.
And i'm going to try to exercise everyday, either going for a walk around campus before classes, walking around during break at work, video workouts, badminton.
I'm going to stick to this plan and if i do really good by next may i've already decided my reward. It's a BIG one but i need something huge to motivate me. I've been drooling over disney cruises the past couple of months, i've decided that if i lose all that weight by may i will go ahead and book a 2009 disney cruise! Depending on how much money i make as well, if i make enough my dream cruise is the 15 night transalantic cruise. But if i dont make enough for that i'm going to try for minimum the 4 night cruise.
And with that i leave you guys to go for a 30 minutes sweating it out with billy blanks. Today breakfast/lunch i overate but that is the last meal i will ever over eat. Dinner today will consist of grape tomatos, baby carrots, cheese and some crackers.

Your goal is definately doable, and boy, you've got a great reward set up.
so i guess with all the running/driving around and no time to eat i'll definatly lose all this weight! 
but on the other hand i may die.
it's funny how when i was jobless i had no one wanting me and now that i have a job i've had 3 replies 
well in a year! but I think keeping busy really helps with me and my weightloss. Today at work my stomch as grumbling but i didn't want to stop what i was doing to eat so i held out till dinner time! So i did not snack today at all. 
Yay to steady income!! So now i have a full timejob, a part time job and part time school! My days went from 3 hr school days to 6 hour school/work days, to 11 work days and 15 hour schoo/work days.
