Losing weight for Mickey

[Omma]

I am so sorry for you family's loss. You will all be in my prayers! In my experience, when you don't know what words to say...hugs are great.

Not if they are low to no fat. Non-fat dairy and yogurt, chicken breast, that sort of thing.

My friend was told at her WW meeting that people on core are not losing as fast as people on points. I think that overall, even though something is unlimited, it might not be wise to go crazy.

Thanks for the details. It sounds pretty decent. I assume there is a limit on things like meat and dairy?

 

[DawnM]

So sorry for you family's loss! Words don't really comfort, just being there and telling them you love them will speak volumes.

Sorry to hear about your DN. My heart breaks just thinking about it. You and your family will be in my thoughts. Keep your head up in Florida.

Sarah, sounds like your brother and SIL were loving, devoted parents and treasured their son for the gift that he was. Prayers are sent your way for all of you!

Went to dinner with friends last night . . . sure those margaritas probably reversed any weightloss I've achieved!! Will have to make up for it this week!!

Good luck with the Superbowl temptations today! And good luck Giants and Pats fans . . . we're neither so it's anyone's game for us!

No good news this week. Nothing down, but then again, I am not up either! I am not surprised by this since I didn't get any exercise, and ate what I wanted. Since I think we are adding in a week in August just for DH and I at POR, I need to get my butt in gear.

I hope everyone has a better week than I did.
GO PATS GO!!!!

Well I have managed to do 2 solid weeks with out a single slip and Wham... I really blew it yesterday. I'm drinking rivers of extra water today to try and reverse the damage and will weigh in tomorrow.

I'm bringing a veggie tray and cheese fondue for the superbowl tonight. I hate cheese fondue so veggies it is!

My mother in law is finally on board with my diet and she is cooking boneless skinless chicken breasts forr supper/game food with many veggies. I have no desire to see mashed potatoes living in my hips so I will leave those alsone!

I live in NH so should root for the Pats... There the ones in blue right?hehehe... I have never seen a foot ball game in my life! Been to 20+ super bowl parties!

Ok everyone, I talked about this when you started losing weight for mickey and now I am getting serious. I have a year to do this but I need to lose more weight. We went in Nov 07 and I had a goal prior to that trip also. I promised myself I would be able to fit into the rides comfortably so I could ride them with my girls also I wanted to fit into the seats on the plane comfortably. I DID it but now I want to be even thinner so I look half way presentable in prictures. I just hate the way I look in pictues so I don't usually do them.
Someone said something about Alli. I am taking it, I can honestly say I don't noticed much of a difference. I do know that when you eat a lot of fatty foods you had better be close to a bathroom or wear a sanitary pad.
Ok here are my stats as of today.
age: 41
weight:221
goal: 135lbs (would be great) would settle for 150


WHERE DOES EVERYONE GET THE LITTLE DISNEY PICTURES TO ADD TO YOU POSTS????????

Sharpmomoftwo, I am sorry for your families loss. It has got to be very hard to say goodbye to a child and I am sure your brother and wife will appreciate you loving support. I know it is hard to find something to say to people when they lose someone. I am a nurse and I never know what to say but sometimes a great big loving hug and I am sorry about your loss is all they need.

Hi Everyone!

Can I join in?

Name: Leanna
Age: 28
Location: Dallas, Texas
Type of diet: Weight Watchers - Points
Excercise: None yet, but do have a treadmill I want to start back on again.
Start date of diet: 1/31/08
Goal: 145
Weight at start of diet: 259
Weight loss to date: Nothing yet

I am determined to be at my goal weight by our next Disney trip, which gives me 15 months to do it. This is do-able, as long as I get on it and stay consistent. I have 115 pounds to lose, so this will be a long journey, but I know that I am worth it. My weigh-in days are on Thursdays, so I will report back on Thursday evenings.

Leanna

I just received word this morning, that my 16 year old nephew passed away late last night/early this morning. For those of you that don't know, he has never been a "normal" boy - born premature, they discovered he had something called Anglemans Syndrome a few years into his life. I don't know exactly all the details of it, but he has never spoken, never eaten, never walked.... but he was always a very happy little boy (he used to watch Beauty and the Beast all day every day, laughing hysterically at it). The past few weeks he hasn't been doing much of anything other than sleeping due to the severe seizures he has, and now his time has just come. I will be going down to Florida (where he lives) later in the week once my brother has everything settled. I feel so awful for my brother and his wife, I don't know what to say when I get down there - how do you comfort someone over the death of their child?

The only way I can think of comforting them is just by being there for them and doing anything they need done while they grieve and you are there. I also would contact their church and set up dinners for them to be delivered every night for the next month. We have a family at the base we are stationed at whose husband/father was killed in November or December in a motorcycle accident and this family is still getting meals on a daily basis as the wife/mother is still having a really hard time picking up the pieces. You might want to also arrange for people to help them out with whatever they might need after you leave. To be honest, I don't think there's much you can say to them right now to comfort them. Your actions will speak louder than words.

I'm sorry for the loss of your nephew. I can't imagine what it's like to go through that. I miscarried a child at 13 weeks and that was extremely traumatic, but to have lived with a child for 16 yrs and then lose them, it's got to be 100x's worse.

Good Monday morning everyone! Lots of posts since I was last here. To begin Sarah I'm, sorry to here of youyr loss, it came so much faster that I thought you would have had the chance to see him before he passed. Has your cold gotten any better? What's new with me well I didn't get to workout for 3 days in a row so I kicked into high gear Saturday night walking on the treadmill for an hour. I htink I over did it though. I was trying to keep up with the 4 and 5 mile walkers on the thread here. How do you guys do it I was also trying to work off those few bites of mini chocolate mousse deserts I had for lunch at TGI Fridays. I wasn't hungry fo rthe rest of the day after lunch there. I got the 3 course meal with the white bean chili as my appetizer and the fried shrimp as the main entree. Here's my weigh in stats for this week...
Starting weight:180 (Jan17 start)
Current weight:177
Goal weight:140 (by June22)
Exercise: Ellipticall, treadmill, workout dvd's

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

We are flying out tomorrow night, and I just have a few questions from you experienced flyers... I know I can't take liquids in an older kids sippie bottle, but can I bring a closed juice box? Am I allowed to bring snacks onto the plane as well for the kids? I'm going to bring the DVD player, their fake phones which they love, crayons, paper... maybe some other stuff they will want. I am NOT looking forward to this flight - DH has to stay home due to work, and even though I will have my parents, sister, BIL and niece, I'd rather have DH with me.
On a weight loss note... I have lost exactly 4 pounds this week on WW. DH and I went out to lunch yesterday by ourselves (since we wont see each other for 3.5 days), and though I was very healthy with the lunch (Had shrimp salad), we shared a piece of chocolate cake for desert... it was darn good though . I'm going to try my best to stay on my diet while in Florida, but we will be ordering room service and eat out for every meal, and my mother makes sure to eat EVERY MEAL.
Anyway, good luck to everyone this week - no cheating!

Together We Can Do This!

Mondays weigh-innnnnnnnnnnnn

cw 217.5/sw 228.5/ltd 10.5 (current weight/start weight/loss to date) I'm jonesing for the 190's!!!!!!!!!!

Thats 2.5 more pounds this week.. My goal is to lose 10 pounds a month for Feb and March. At that point I will access the situation and think about the dress I'm wearing for my nieces wedding. It is being hand made and needs to be started April 1st. The wedding is April 26. The style is princess so I think if I continue to lose in April It won't be so bad...

 

[SilverMickey]

Good Luck on your flight Sarah. Bring your sippy cups and fill them after you have gone through security. You can't bring drinks through period.. no matter how they are packaged. You can purchase drinks after you get through and fill up bottles/sippy cups ect. snacks are fine. We bring gold fish crackers, oyster crackers... little pop one in your mouth and not bite and make a mess crackers. Cheerios are great too. Something to chew during take off and landing is good for their little ears. If your youngest uses a pacifier this is a good time to have it out. Cabin crew will also fill sippy cups and bottles. Have a safe voyage.

Congrats on your weight loss. I'm so glad you found something that works for you!

I walk 3-4 miles with a dvd leslie sansone. It takes 45-55 min to complete. And to tell the truth, lately I have been 2-3 miles because my knees hurt terribly. (Did walking in just socks....lots of strain to the knees because she does "side steps" etc) then I use the bean for ab work for 7 min. YOU CAN DO IT!! Build yourself up to it so you don't get hurt!
