Losing weight for Mickey

[DisneyMike78]

Exactly! I'm on the same cheat schedule as you too!



I figure if I don't ever have things I want I will go insane. And I would be insane if I thought I was sticking to my diet at Disney. There is just so much you only get there then other places and I am no going to deprive myself the pleasure and not have to wait another year(s) before we go again.

Hello there!

We are going to WDW Nov. 3-12, staying at CSR and I've set a goal of losing 25 lbs before we leave.

I started on July 7th and have lost 17 lbs to date. I feel like I'm off to a great start but that's never my problem...it's sticking with it!

keep up the great work! You can do it.

Me too. I already KNOW what I'm having every day based on our ADRs and NONE of my days are under 1200 cals. But it's vacation! Once a year, for a week, I'll eat whatever I want.

Yeah I have a pretty good idea what we are getting from our ADR's too. Although we are trying new places like Ohana's so not sure what I want there.

While we were on vacation 2 weeks ago, I dropped 6lbs! Between the heat and a sinus infection that spread to my top molar, I wasn't really in the mood to eat much. I did have an ice cream almost daily though. It was just all the walking and sweating that helped out. Plus all the water we were drinking helped to keep me full.
Of course, I realize now that I'm home and haven't dropped an ounce that I need to get moving to lose some more.

No worries there, Ohana has a set menu, served family style. Broccoli, noodles, salad, pot stickers, chicken wings, then the skewers of meat they bring around. Pork, chicken, steak, shrimp.

That's a good point, actually. I may be eating whatever I want, but I'll be walking alot of it off! Thanks!

OK I'm back on track with my goal to not be Pooh sized for our next trip and be more Tigger sized!! Today I got on the treadmill and expect to do that for the rest of the week along with some hiking! Going to keep my caloric intake down and my exercise minutes up!!!

Disney here I come!!

 

[DisneyMike78]

Good luck Tina. Try using myfitnesspal.com my wife and I are using it along with others on here and it works great for keeping track. Keeps you accountable for what you eat. I'm down 10 and she is down 20. I am going for 60

I never thought I would be on here saying Hi and that I LOST weight for Mickey, but I did. I am 65 pounds down since December and in a normal weight for my height now(about 10 pounds from goal). I did it through Medifast (which I love). I was over 200 last December getting ready to go on The Disney Dream cruise in March. I had visions of my fat self getting stuck on the Aquaduck! We go to DW this September and I can't wait to see all of the pictures from this year to compare to last year in Sept. We are going during free dining and I will be fine...it feels so good to have lost so much. I just want to say keep it up. If I can do it, anyone can. Find something that works for you and stick to it!!!

We just booked our week in May at Bonnet Creek and we're taking my mother in law this time which means we actually get to EAT like crazy (she loves to eat and DH doesn't). My goal is 25 lbs. by May. If I lose more, great but I would be happy with 25. I plan to eat as though I'm on free dining but I'm not. lol... how awful of a reason. I'm going to make DH keep track of me and if I don't meet my goals each week, I'm going to have him cancel one of the ADR's. That should keep me in line.

Since the begining of this past April I am down 36 lbs. Stalled a little right now but hoping to be down another 40 by when we go to Disney. Still trying to decide between April/May or Aug/Sept of 2012.

Good luck to all....you can do it!

We are taking our first trip in september, 2012...so im hoping to loose 1 pound every two weeks until then...do you think thats realistic?

 

[MaggieMollyMom]

Just found this thread and I need some help!!! I need to lose at least 40 pounds by our trip in about 18 weeks!! Is this doable? I need to lose more than that in total but i think this is realistic and will give me a better chance at keeping up. I am starting a 'Learn to run" clinic and will start low carbing again (which is always a good way to lose for me). I just need to stop snacking after I put the kids to bed!!!!! my biggest downfall!!

Thanks!

If you loose 2 lbs a week, you will be set, make that your goal..do you drink soda??? if so, cut that out completely, and there is probably 10 lbs! Good luck

I just found this thread too. I don't have a particular amount I need to lose, I just desperately want to make it easier to buy some shorts and clothing. Right now, I get some 2Xs but relaly, 3x is more comfortable and well, that stuff is ahrd to find. I'm SO TIRED of being obese (close to 300). I'm trying to see if I use ANGER about it, if that works. Gastric by-pass didn't, nothing seems to. I look foward to reading this thread. At least back a few months.

its definately doable. Try using a website like myfitnesspal.com it keeps you accountable for your calories and exercise. Im using it and I am doing 60lbs in 16weeks. I'm already down 13lbs.
