Losing weight for Mickey

[judypriv]

I'm really proud of you all! Good work! Please keep me posted!

I finally busted through that 10er I have been stuck on! I have now officially hit my first goal. OK, it's not a big goal but I am super short so 10 lbs. makes a difference on me!

So far 10.2 for me and 14 for Hubby (he went on business trip to Mexico and gained some but lost it so he's still the same) Now our second goal is 10 %, 19 for me (that's nine more, ugh!) and 24 (ten more, he'll be there before me for sure) for him. Then it's 25 for me by Disney and 35 for him. Then 40 for me 50 for him and then goal weight. My new final goal is next Halloween I want to be Wonder Woman! I have always wanted to be her but the years I had the bod, I wasn't able to do that costume and the years I could, I was too fat!

I agree with DisneyMike about the cheats. You have to something to enjoy your food now and then. If not, you go on a binge and that usually leads to quitting (at least in my experience). We do one cheat meal and week (usually a date night out) and then one treat cheat (Friday it was Frozen yogurt with the works).

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.

Hey I'm on my fitness pal also, what exercise are you doing?

 

[DisneyMike78]

Leleluvsdis, I don't really do any real exercises, except on the days I do not work. I am a stay at home day with 3 kids during the day and I unload eighteen wheel trailers for work, pretty physical work, I recommend it for exercises during the days off, I do elliptical for as long as I can stand(usually 30mins) then I go to the bike and do that for and hour. And I stay under my recommended calories. I also think that I did not choose the right activity level on myfitnesspal. so I am averaging 4lbs a week. It seemed like alot so after talking it over with my Dr. and she has told me that as long a I am not going under 1250 calories per day and I am at 2000 then I am ok.

How's everyone doing? I'm down 10.5 so that's something but I have SOOOOOO long to go. To get to wedding weight I need to lose 55 lbs. to get to where I would like to be I have 70 total (or 60 now). Seems like an impossible number!

I am about 100lbs heavier then when I got married 24 and two children ago. I was doing well with walking and watching what I ate and then I severly broke my ankle almost 1 year ago. 2 surgeries later I am still having problems with the ankle which severly limits my physical activity. I try to watch what I eat but my weight is not moving. We are going to Disney in January this year, any suggestions to jump start a weight loss, but has to be sedetary?

Down 40 lbs now from April. Booking Disney for the end of March-28 weeks to lose 35 more lbs! Off to WW tomorrow morning to see how I did this week.

I have lost weight for Mickey too! Since Jan 2011, I have lost 49 lbs! My husband lost 47 lbs. We are celebrating our 8th year wedding anniversary next month, going on the Dream and staying at AKV. I can't wait! I haven't felt this great in a long time. Looking to lose another 10 lbs by our trip!

As everyone knows, losing weight/getting fit is hard work. All you can do is take one day at a time. Keep pushing forward, never look back! Congrats to everyone on their weightloss.

Trying not to get discouraged. I've been doing everything I should but so far I'm only down 11.5 in 6 weeks. I know I shouldn't complain but I lost like 9 lbs. in 17 days and it's taken me since to lose 2.5. :-( I got pretty sick so I wasn't able to walk or jog for three weeks. I know I am thinner though because my fat pants actually fit and aren't tight and I can squeeze into my middle of fattnes pants. I still have to get to 10 % which is another 8 lbs. though.

 

[TheHafflys]

We go to Disney in 30 days...about 5 months ago I started dieting and am down 50 pounds! After 2 kids in a year and a half, I just put on so much weight. I have another 30 pounds to get to my goal, but I was shooting to loose 50 pounds by Disney and I am there. Good luck to everyone!

I am in!

I started really focusing on losing weight last January, when my work had a biggest loser contest.

I won it, then two more. I have lost 60 pounds total. I think I still need to lose about 30-40 more pounds. I would love to do it before WDW.

I am counting calories. No soda.

I slipped up over the holidays. Tomorrow.. back on track.

Hi everyone! I am jumping in because after having a baby I have a whole lot of weight to lose before our first family trip to Disney this Halloween!

Start Date- January 17th, 2012
Start Weight- 244
Current Weight as of January 17, 2012 - 244
Goal Weight - 145
Diet- Cutting out white bread, rice, etc. Lower fat. No soda.

I am not following a regimented plan, just eating healthier, and taking it one day at a time.

 

[apetelo]

I have just made the goal to lose 65 lbs by our first Disney trip in Oct. We are staying at the Pop from 23-30. I'm hoping that this trip will finally give me the motivation to stick with it and get healthy! I'd like to be able to reward myself in Oct for a job well done. Even though I won't be finished. I'll have another 50 lbs or so to get to goal. It's going to be a long road.

I originally posted on this thread back in May of 2009. Well since then life changed a lot and with the pregnancy and birth of my third baby I put back on all my weight plus some. However we are for sure getting to go on our dream trip in Jan 2013 and I want to look back at pictures and see cute thin healthy mom and not what I see right now. I think this thread is a great support system. So congrats to everyone and here we go again.
