Awesome job everyone. Well I am down a total of 15 so far this year. 45 more to go. If I keep this up, I will definitely have my 60 gone before our March 2011 cruise.

Sometime is seems like a pound here and there is just too slow, but I try to remember that if I have been happy with that last year and not thrown my hands up in frustration, I would have been at goal by now. SO I resolve to be happy with any lose each week. I am thinking of just weighing every other week to make the difference more noticible. That way in a year, I won't be in the same place thinking "if only."

Keep up the good work everyone, we will make it to goal. Not today, not tomorrow and probably not next month, but we WILL make it.

I just started a diet for our May23rd cruise as well,,,I got water pills and a B12 shot from my doctor,and do yoga 45 mins a day,mon-fri. and have lost 10lbs already!
Along with eating right of course! But I started this on March 3rd,the B12 gives me a boost of energy that you could not believe! Hope you all have great success with your diets too!

Our Disney cruise leaves in about 3 months and I'm joining this group as well. Last year through WW I lost over 30 lbs. I haven't been to a meeting since November when out WW at Work group disbanded. As a result the punds have started creeping back on. Therefore with the encouragement of DH I am going back to WW today - found a meeting about 3 blocks from work that meets over the lunch hour.

Joining WW will help keep me accountable, remind me to count my points, and will give me the additional motivation to get out there to walk 3-4 days during the weekn instead of just getting out on the weekends.

My goal: 25lbs before the cruise.

STAMPINGODDESS,
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!! Stick to the plan you are in charge of your journey.

 

[stampingoddess]

Well I'm now sitting at my desk eating salad after my first WW meeting. Since stopping meetings last November I've GAINED 6 lbs! However, I know that by going to the meetings and sticking with the plan those 6 and many more will come off in the months to come.

WTG stampingoddess and Mstree. Keep up the good work.

stampingoddess, make sure to find the Wish stickys for your signature.

This week I finally broke the 20lb weight loss barrier.

I now weigh less than I did before I got pregnant with DH 14 years ago.

Even better new. I had my mid study check up at Vanderbilt a few weeks ago. My choleterol has dropped like 30 points and my blood sugar, A1C, is now in the normal range - barely, but it is no longer in the insulin resistent range.

Everyone keep up with the good work.

Hi All, I am joining in with you all today, and offering encouragement as well. I decided to drop weight the week after we booked our cruise last December. I had 3 months.... Our cruise on the Magic was on March 6, 2010.
I began at 146 lbs, and I am 5'1". My first official day was December 28th, 2009. By the day we left to Florida, March 4, I weighed 130 lbs. I lost a total of 16 lbs in a little over 2 months!
Needless to say, I put on 3 lbs on ship... But I am now at 128 lbs and still losing. I have my next cruise booked on the Wonder for March 20, 2011. I am hoping to be able to attain my goal, and MAINTAIN my weight until then. I'll keep you updated, and congrats and a continued good luck to everyone on here. We can do It!

Hi everyone,
You all are such an inspiration. I am going on my first Disney Cruise on August 28, 2010 and I am now committed to losing 40 pounds. I have more than that to lose, but 40 would be tremendous. That is approximately 2 1/2 pounds a week. I am going to try.....
I will check in to this group.

Man! You sound just like me! I am going on a Sept cruise and want to lose 50 lbs by then which means around 2 1/2 lbs a week. LOL I also need to lose more but I know there is no way I can lose it ALL in that amount of time unless I am sent to the Biggest Loser Ranch. Anyway, What are you going to do for a program? I am concentrating more on inches than lbs. I know that the scale can fluctuate so much and give false readings. Inches are true and REALLY the only thing that matters to me. I don't care if I weigh 300 lbs if I can wear a (real) size 8 dress! lol

You guys are so inspiring!! I would love to wear a size 12 on our trip. That is a total of 24.5 inches away (total that is)!!
