Losing weight for Mickey

[Jacindyyy]

Hi,
Well done on your weight loss (and everyone else too!!)

I was wondering if you would kindly share how you've lost your lbs,as I can't exercise either.
I used to be able to lose weight,if eating less calories,combined with exercise.
But reduced calorie eating alone,does not work for me.

I have various health issues,including digestive problems and an interactive thyroid.

Been trying to lose weight since just after Christmas,and now it's only 35 days til we see mickey

Hey, I've only temporarily been unable to exercise. I've used mainly walking as long as dancing and a couple other things to lose the 28 pounds.
They say weightless it partly exercise and partly food related. I can't lose just from food, I have to exercise too sadly.

Have you tried aquatic exercise? Its supposed to be a good workout but won't put the pressure on your body. Not sure if it would help with your health issues but maybe worth a try? Good luck

I've always been skinny but when I had my dd 2 years ago I've been stuck about 40-50 pounds overweight. I've worked out like crazy and not lost a pound.

I started using myfitnesspal.com a month ago and lost 7 pounds in June! I'm sticking around 1200 calories a day - sometimes up to 1500 if I splurge.

I'm so excited to see this thread! I haven't been on disboards since 2008 for our last (and first) Disney trip. We just booked our Disney cruise and disboards was the first place I came. As soon as I logged in, I got e-mail notifications for this thread.

I don't remember how big I was then but I'm bigger now. I'm only 5'3 but i'm about 187. Our cruise is at the end of August so I have about a month and a 1/2 to lose as much as I can. I don't have a plan yet but somethings gotta kick in.

Good Luck everyone!!

Welcome Stephanie! I just joined the other day & I'm feeling very motivated. I've been online tonight looking at clothes & trying to decide what I will wear to Disney once I lose the weight.

I'm a week in to my routine and weigh 1 lb more! I'm sure body weight fluctuates so I'm not too worried about it, but it felt like a setback. Your good news motivates me to keep at it. Congrats, and thanks for sharing!

Diet pill spam.

keep at it! are you also doing the 5 and 2? dieting sucks! it's not my favourite thing at all but I need to loose some weight. I'm going to centre parks with some gorgeous girlies in January and I am not swim suit confident at all! so best I stick to the diet as I don't want to be sitting on the sidelines all week. Xx

Thanks! No I'm just working out, eating right, and plan to start Juice Plus shakes as a breakfast. I never heard of the 5 and 2. But thanks for your reply! I need all the encouragement I can get right now.

Adding myself on this list. I've been on a roller coaster of weight issues last 3 years. In 2010-2011 I lost 115 pounds and went to Disney and had an amazing worry free time. Then I gained about 60 back and returned to Disney and still had a great time but to be honest I worried about the rides and seats. Didn't have any problems but the extra weight isn't good for anyone. So my girlfriend and I are planning a Mar/Apr 2014 dream vacation to DW with the kids and we want to be below our Disney weight from 2011. This thread will help. Good luck to all.

I'm new to the boards and excited to plan our first family trip to Disney, but I don't want to cut myself out of all the photos. I already started a weight loss challenge with some friends, but more people to be accountable to will be better. I've been up and down between pregnancies, but this is the heaviest I have been. I'm ready to be done with this weight!

Joining in... We leave September 22nd for Disneyland. I've never struggled with my weight until now. Always dropped off my baby weight right after baby was born and never gained more then 30lbs during pregnancy. After I quit breastfeeding my youngest in January, the weight has piled on. I'm 30lbs over weight, the same as when I was 9 months pregnant.

I'm at a lost as what to do. I tried in the spring time to lose some, then injured my knee, and got away from it.

I weigh 200lb and I'm 6' tall. My goal for September is to be 170lb again, and feel good about myself all over. I want to make a lifestyle change I don't want my weight to yo yo like I've seen so many people do.

Has anyone tried beyond diet? I was looking in to it, but I'm concerned it's a little too extreme, and I might just get frustrated and give up. I know I want to start eating clean. I feel that it is just overall good for health. As far as exercise, I like to lift weights more then cardio, but I will do a combination out of necessity. Does anyone have any program recommendations?

Welcome! I haven't heard of Beyond diet so I don't have an opinion on that but I know what works best for me is watching my portions and working out. My "baby" is turning 3 (I also have a soon to be 5 year old) this friday and I finally decided to lose the final 20 or 30 pounds that I gained after breast feeding was over. Like you I also do not want to yo yo and I want my kids to see me living a healthy lifestyle to help encourage them.

Lifting weights is awesome it helps to build muscle which in turn makes your metabolism faster and the more muscle you have the more calories you burn. I do bodyweight exercises right now (push ups, pull ups, squats) and run 1.5 miles a day pushing my youngest in a jogging stroller, this has seemed to work for me. Good luck with your weight loss!

Awesome, having people keep you accountable helps. Funny for me even having the weight loss ticker is a motivator. I hope you are able to meet all your goals!! The baby weight is the worst

 

[CluelessDisFan]

Thank you! I'm thinking about adding the ticker, I need some accountability as well! Good luck!
