Losing weight for Mickey

[Jacindyyy]

Have been out of the game for a few months as I was diagnosed with gall stones and had to have my gall bladder taken out. But been back in the game the past few weeks now and just have to shed a couple kilos to be at my lowest weight. Then I hope to lose another 5 kilos. Was at almost a 13 kilo weight loss before surgery. Hard at first to get back into it, but trying now really hard.

Hi everyone! Just checking in. I've lost 23.6 lbs since I started on July 30!! My goal is to lose 50 lbs total by sept 1, 2014.

Also my running is up to 2.1-2.5 miles a day followed with a mile cool down plus my evening walk of 3 miles.

I have just started back exercising, this is week 3 for me. I would love some accountability. I have 20 pounds to lose. We are headed to Disney end of April 2014 early May so I really would love to have it off by then. I am writing down every calorie and trying to stay at 1500 calories per day. Sugar and mainly chocolate is a huge weakness for me. Also, I tend to eat poorly on the weekend and it takes all week to get me back to where I was. I have to stop that cycle. Thanks for any encouragement and letting me join! Kim

Hi! Do you have a smartphone? There are a couple great apps that are free and have helped keep me focused.

Your reply just made my day! The trigger that caused me to lose weight?? It was the roller coaster accident out at Six Flags in mid July - (got my weight loss journal if ya will starting on posting #68 pn page 5 onward on my below listed Trip report titled, "MY Adventures n San Fran, Rose Bowl). Great thread!! LOVE IT - (I now jog on weekends w/'Ladybug' my best bud) and feel soooooooooo much better. Tho - I do say that there oughts be 'rules' when I pass on from this great earth............. and rule#1 'shall be' that all plain m&m's be declared fat free. ok.....if ya 'had to pick one'.....what one rule would you like to see when u pass on from this earth?? ANYWHO - Q: I have a freakin' 2.5 hour drive coming up in early September (each way)= BORING!!!! and I wanna eat.......... ok - please....who has some ways/ options or suggestions on low cal stuff to munch on and or ways to break up this drive so I dont feel so dang compelled to eat??? and to all who do ZUMBA or Spin = I am jealous. T.T.F.N.

Celery. Crunch away. It takes more calories to eat and digest celery than the actual celery contains.

I have started my new diet and also started using myfitnesspal and I am actually doing better. I have lost 1.2 lbs but have only been on it for about 4 days now. I have more energy now and feel better altogether. I have started walking for 30 minutes a day too. I hope to lose about 15lbs by my trip but at this point I will be happy with any weight lost. I have been going back and forth with my weight forever and I always lost the battle.

Time for me to get back on track again. We are going to WDW for Thanksgiving. I'd like to drop 10 to 15 lbs by then. Problem is I have a dinner at Maggianos tonight!

 

[momimouse27]

Ugh. Maggianos...that place is a diet killer! Yummy.

Hello!

I have six weeks till my goal weight for the Mouse!

I'm so happy to have found this thread! I'm easily tempted and love to eat so losing weight has been extremely challenging for me my whole life. I'm also not a big exerciser so that doesn't help. Glad to be able to come here and share progress/challenges with other Disney-minded folks!

Here are my stats:

Name: Chrissy
Age: 37
Location: Queens, NY

Start date of diet: July 22, 2013
Goal: 130
Weight at start of diet: 176
Weight loss to date: 16lbs

My vacation is Nov 12-16 and I have a birthday smack dab in the middle of that time! My goal weight for vacation is 150lbs, so I am going to have a strenuous six weeks!

Just checking in with everyone! I'm running btwn 2-2.5 miles everyday now and walking ~4 miles a day. Weigh in was Saturday and I'm down 26.7 pounds. I'm just passed the halfway mark from my original 50!!! 24 days til we leave for Disney. Hoping to make it an even 30 by then. I know I will gain on vacation but we are going to run in the mornings to keep up our training.

Hadn't been to the gym last week so I was nervous to weigh in. To my surprise I've lost 9.5 lbs! Nearly halfway there. Not sure if I'm going to make my 20 lb loss goal, but I'm hoping to have the motivation to keep going. Especially with all the holidays on the horizon. How do you all eat healthy & stay motivated? I feel like I'm at a crossroads - I could keep going down or start eeking back up. I really want to keep going!

Checking in been at this almost 2 years! Started Nov 2011 ( age 38) at 277 pounds. Weight today ( age 40 ) is 168. End goal is 140 but hoping to be 158 or lower by our cruise in Dec 2013. Watching what I eat- eating low carb and getting my carbs mainly from fruit and vegs , portion control and moderate exercise. Went from tight 3x tshirts to medium tshirts and my pants/shorts have gone from 26 ( with elastic waist) to 10's.

Wow congrats on the loss! That is awesome over 100 lbs !! Wow again, congrats

I am in the same boat as you. I currently weigh 150 and want to get down into the 130's or 120's. I turn 27 in Dec and hope to be in the low 140's upper 130's by then. Good luck with your program!

 

[fabulousfive]

Me too! When I started in June I weighed 150 and my goal has been 130. I'm at 140 now, halfway there! I'm doing the elliptical machine a few times a week, enjoying Juice Plus shake to help me feeling full, and am watching my portions. My goal was the 130 by our early December trip.

I have been doing this a while too but have lost all motivation so the weight has stopped coming off I really need to get out there and start kicking my butt again! It doesn't help my DH is no longer watching what he eats so I have the goodies in the house again

 

[Tisha62486]

I lose motivation so quickly especially on a stressful day :/ food is my happy place which needs to change it's just really hard!!!
