Losing weight for Mickey

[MonsterWDWmom]

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

What I have found that helps is always having a cup of water with you. I am a bored eater and if I sip on water instead of eating it works miracles.

Congratulations, Mom2Val!!

I have managed to keep up my program for one whole week, and I lost 2 lbs. Yayy me!


I want to do it nice and slow, because I want my results to be permanent. I will stay on the same track this week, and if the scale doesn't move I will kick it up a notch!

YEA on the water - I just drank a quart of seltzer as I was messing around on the DIS



Stick with it, people! We can DO IT!!!

PS - I am also on myfitnesspal. PM me if you want a buddy!

Just wanted to post a quick update. I've been at this weight-loss thing since Nov. 2011 and as of today I have lost 72 pounds! I started at 222 and I am 150 today. I think I stood on the scale in shock at the gym when I had to move it down.

I've had to replace just about my entire wardrobe (super expensive!) but it has been so nice to walk into a store, try on clothes and have them fit, and only put them back because I don't like how they look. I have struggled with my weight since late elementary school/early middle school and I am hoping since I have done this slowly (sometimes I won't lose for weeks at a time and I will feel like I've hit a wall) that I will be able to keep all the weight off.

 

[RoyalMom]

WOW, AllisonK! thanks for inspiring us! I can't wait to be able to replace a few things in my wardrobe... I'm going easy, doing it right, too!

As of today, I have lost 6 lbs.

See ya next Monday, a notch lower and little bit stronger!

How's everybody doing? I just had a 4 day pizza binge so I'm a little behind. 25 days until my trip, maybe I can get 8 lbs off by then.

We have the same number of days and I have the same weight to loose! Can we do it?!

 

[mjmyers10]

Well I just got back from an Olive Garden dinner so that didn't help!

Last check in was 10/11/13 and I was 168 pounds. Today 11/25/13 I weigh 161 pounds. I have almost 3 weeks until our cruise and I am still hoping to see 158 by then. I am down a total of 116 pounds - no surgery- no pills- just changed my diet and moderate exercise for the past 2 years.

Congrats that's awesome! It is great that you have done it by just changing your diet and exercise. I hope you make your goal for your cruise Good Luck!!

Hello everyone,

I've always done my best work when I have to be accountable to others, so I now make myself accountable to all my fellow DISers.

My name is Robert.
I am currently 360 lbs. (6ft tall)

I have been challenged by my family (mostly neices and nephews) to participate in a family trip to WDW next January (2015) for runDisney. My goal is to run the 5K.

So keep up the success stories and I'll work to add mine to the list.

Hi!
Just got back from three weeks at Disney. Yup three weeks of eating and drinking uninhibited. Well it did set me back a few pounds but not nearly as much as I thought it would. I weighed in when we got back and was up 6.4 lbs. after a week of being back in normal mode in down 3.1! My goal was to lose 50 by 9/1/2014 but I can tell you my winter goal is to maintain due to cold weather and not getting out to run as much. I also think I'm going to want to lose more than the original 50 but we will see when I get there.

Checking in for the weekly weigh in.

As of this morning ..... 358. Down 2lbs even with Turkey Day.

 

[RoyalMom]

YAY! good work

 

[Fob]

Weekly check in.

Down another pound to 357. Wanted more, but I'll take it.

 

[mjmyers10]

Great job. I've been going the wrong way! Between Thanksgiving and a trip to the world, it's not been kind to my mid section. California Diet started on Monday. I have 200 days before we leave.

 

[luvmikids]

Holding at 160. Will try and lose 10 by Feb. After the holidays of course

 

[mjmyers10]

How is everybody doing? I am also at my pre holiday weight. Then the real loss begins!
