Losing weight for Mickey

[NJFabFour]

Is it too late to join in the fun?

He's 3, so the excuses have to stop now before the "baby" of the so-called baby weight starts shaving.

I hear ya! And WELCOME! You and I are at the same starting point so let's hope we can be looking good in those bathing suits soon!
Congrats on the 3 day! A great and admirable accomplishment!

Anyone had any experience with the 6 day makeover from some guy I think his name is michael???? Having a brain drain right now and can't think of the infomercial I saw in the middle of the night. I know it cost about 100 and he tells you your body type and foods to eat.

I am back with WW and when I weighed in this week I lost over a pound. So I am on target for my Sept. 08 WDW goal. I need to lose an average of 1 pound a week.

Right now I am having a light lunch after working out. Small slice of Italian bread, 1/2 cup of grapes, 1 slice of pepperjack cheese, and 8 oz of fat free milk. I feel powerful!

Happy Monday morning everyone. I haven't been posting on here for quite some time and have been very discouraged by my lack of weight loss. to all of the newbies that have come on board. Congratulations to all who have done well losing weight and keeping it off

Yes I have done it and it does work. I did the plan a few years ago but I wasn't as disciplined as I am now about losing weight. I did it about 8-10 years ago and did drop the weight fairly quickly. I was moving to FL to do the Disney college program and had to look great in my Daisy Dukes shorts and little tank tops I didn't stick with it because I got lazy and the program is strict at first until you find your rythm. I now know how to grocery shop and cook better (alternative cooking but didn't give up the taste sort of thing). So a week ago I decided to order it again from HSN on the special they were having. I should have it in my hands by today per UPS. I misplaced my old program materials and had to order this one plus there's more included in the box. I mean six weeks will pass and whether or not I use it, the six weeks will still go by any. So why not try it all over again I tell myself.

Hi - I'm down 3.4 today - well, really only 1.4 'cause I was up 2 last Monday - I'm in a new decade of #'s - the 160's - at the top, but I started 1/2/08 at 187, so I'm psyched!

Have a great day!

Well I stayed on my diet all week (like always), worked a good amount as well. Yesterday, I worked from 9.30am to 7.30pm and only got to eat my cereal for breakfast for the whole day. So I figured I would loose a bit of weight this morning... NOPE! I'm still at the same weight I was at last Monday. I've been so close (within 1 pound this week) to getting into the 190's for like a freekin month now! I'm just getting so frustrated! I know I need to get on the treadmill more, but its just rediculous that I'm not loosing anything at all, and still staying WAY under my alloted 26 points. Maybe if I eat something bad that I souldn't have I'll loose an ounce.


EDIT: Just did 30 minute walk/jog on the treadmill - feeling better about myself! I'm going to try to do it twice a day every day that I don't work, so that means one more time today, Tues, Wed, and Thurs and most likely Sun too (This week I only worked yesterday, and this Fri and Sat but for 10.5 hours each day!!).

Good Morning!

My scale broke! My pants fit better... but I'm not sure of my numbers today. I'm hoping its just the battery so I'm headed out to get a new one.

Have a great week everyone!

I did WW for a while and we called that Plateauing. I found if I changed something about my routine added a protein in the AM or changed the equipment I used the weight would start coming off. Granted it wasn't fast but it would get things moving in the right direction.

You are sooo close keep it up!

Hello everyone! I just found this group and I am hoping to join you all. I will be visiting WDW in 24 days with my hubby and 2 little girls 3 & 6. I have been trying to loose some weight for the trip with out too much luck. I am down about 5 pounds over about 2 months. I would like to loose about 100lbs. I think I am in denial. I was always skinny growing up until my 20's. I gained lots of weight when I was diagnosed with a thyroid problem. I can't blame the continued weight gain on that now. I had been walking 2 miles 4 times a week, but have slacked off. You have inspired me. I may not be a small as I would like, but I am feeling more energetic.

Tiff

 

[dreamer17555]

Huh? So I would like to report a loss but honestly I gained 2lbs! I have been working my tail off at the gym and eating very little (except last night at dinner- we went out, first time in two months!) That being said I can wear my size 9 jeans- and they aren't insanely tight (a little tight but very comfortable for sitting and moving and all that jazz) So I guess I should be happy with that, no? I really think I hate my scale though. Stupid thing tends to say I lose weight when my body hasn't changed and gained weight when it has.

I bought a scale. so I weigh 144. Being only 5'1 on a good day, I would like to get down to 130. I am parking as far away from my work so I walk more, and doing the Wii boxing. My arms are killing me. Good luck to everyone.

 

[tmatthews]

I don't eat meat...would that cause a problem with the program? Good luck with this...let me know how you make out w/ it and maybe I'll join you in a six week quest! Not working my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Monday weigh in! I am down 1 pound and 1/2" in my butt. Not a lot for the week, but the kids went to a birthday party and there was extra ice cream cake and you know the rest . . . LOL . . . so today at the gym I did 90 minutes on the treadmill & burned over 1000 calories.

Whenever my kids face an obstacle, I remind them of the little mice in Cinderella, making her dress for the ball, singing "we can do it, we can do it, there's really nothing to it . . ." - so let's all sing it together about our weight-loss journey!

You can probably lose 10! I did in my first two weeks. I am doing lo-carb. Even if you don't eat meat there are lots of other options - eggs, cheeses, nuts and salad. If you eat fish, that is also allowed.

Anyone serious about a jumpstart to your weight loss. Check out my post #647 it works! I am smaller than I have been in over 15 years. Shopping for size 6's is so wonderfully bizarre. Trust me on this it worked for me. Good Luck to all!!!!!!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Hey all, I need some opinions. I have two questions - first one is I'm doing WW, and I love it, but the weight loss is rather slow. What do you think if I gave up WW for just 2 weeks and went back on Atkins just to see how much more I could loose, and then go back to WW again. I could never stay on Atkins for much more than 2 weeks anyway! My second question is kinda... personal... I'm totally constipated. I finally gave in last night and took a laxative, and around 2.30am I went, and then again this morning, but I know theres more to come, and its just not happening. What am I eating wrong?? I was thinking of taking a colon cleansing product, but they are really expencive, and we just can' afford that right now. Is there anything I can do? Let me know pals!!!

Together We Can Do This!!

PS - Been doing my treadmill about 60 minutes a day and feelin great!

Hi - hope I can join this thread too!

I am going to WDW 5/3-5/11 and I think a trip to WDW will be great way to inspire me to stay on plan. I'd love to wear the cute clothes I got for my trip 2 years ago.

Been on Medifast for 2 weeks now. Weight flew off week 1 and now I am stalled, but not cheating, so just trying to hang in there. Getting treadmill delivered next week so I can workout on it and prepare for my WDW visit as I am a WDW "warrior" when it comes to how fast I move within park!

I would love a diet buddy if anyone wants one. Also, trying to figure out how I stay on plan while there (much harder than on programs like Jenny Craig and WW) given how many restrictions I have on food.
