Losing weight for Mickey

[danicaca]

Good job everybody! It is inspiring to hear all of your stories! This week was ok for me, weight stayed the same, but on Friday, I broke my foot. No more walking for me, or working out for that matter! I am going to still do my weight lifting portion of Power 90 sitting down, but I will be seriously limited otherwise for the next 4-6 weeks. I need some motivation to really watch what I eat since I wont be burning all of those extra calories! Now watch, the next few weeks will actually be better than the previous months! Hope everyone has a great week!

I'm joining in folks! Have to hold myself accountable
About 5 years ago I needed to loose 62lbs to hit my goal weight before a WDW trip, proud to say I lost 45lbs in less than 4 months, and kept it off for over 4 yrs, but never got around to losing that last 20lbs or so. Well, last December I had major back pain, diagnosed with spondylolisthesis (say that 10 times fast ), anyway I couldn't walk/move much less exercise. I had spinal fusion surgery this past March and have slowly been able to increase my activity. I cannot lift more than 30lbs total for 18 more months, and am limited on exercising. Anyway, doing nothing since early December 2011 has put 20lbs back on me. We are planning WDW in February for birthdays and I want to drop 40lbs and finally reach my goal. Even if I don't make it to WDW, my birthday is my goal! Monday, Oct. 1 is my start date.

I haven't weighed in a while - I should do that.

But I just finished the 3rd week of Couch to 5K. My motivation to keep going is the thought of being able to do one of the runDisney races, hopefully in 2014.

Having major back problems and may have to go on for ANOTHER surgery. I was put back on steroids over the last month and gained back 7 of the pounds that I had lost. I am down but not out. I have adjusted my goal for my cruise in October 2013 instead of our December 2012 trip. At this point my goal for my December trip is to just be able to walk and not be in constant pain.

Well, I made it through Thanksgiving and still managed to lose weight. I'm down 8lbs and am now at 162. I've been keeping on track with the NurtiSystem except on Thanksgiving but I've also been keeping my calories at 1200 per day.

I am on board with you guys! I am ready to get in shape for our trip. I have a GREAT idea! See below under Exersize.

We are cruising in Feb on the Dream and following that up with a few days at Disney!

It will be my first cruise!

Name: Kara
Age:32
Current weight. 156.6
Goal weight: 145 (the super hard last 10 lbs)
Diet: Loose old school WW since that is what I know.
Exersize:
THe Disney Movie Marathon Marathon Exersize Plan!
Once my kids find out about our February Trip (to be opened at Christmas) I am sure we will start in on watching Disney Movies. My eliptical is set up right by our projection screen. So my goal is whenever they sit down to watch a Disney Movie to prep for the trip... I will park it on the eliptial for the show. My goal is to be able to make it through a full length animated Disney Feature at a certian pace by trip time!
Also some toning exersizes for buns thighs, and sit ups for my gut on non movie days. Right now I am doing it with Christmas Movies until I can call it by it's real name after Christmas presents are opened.

Anyone want to try out my Disney Movie Marathon Marathon challenge???
