Losing weight for Mickey

[TeamTinkerbell]

Hello Team Tinkerbell!

Sounds like you are doing great! and most excellent for taking leftovers home.
Your post was very nice and interesting to read, it sounds like your boss is a good guy to work for, thank goodness!
I know all to well about pictures, that is why i don't like having mine taken, for unless I have lost enough weight for the occasion, forget it, totally camera shy, it is true that film puts about 20 pounds on a person, and so does the stage (ugh)
I know that initially, when one loses weight, it is water weight, then comes the inch's off, then the pounds. Which is good, for I weigh the same this week as last but maybe I lost a tad bit of a inch? ( I don't think so) I need to exercise more (big sigh)

Jessie,


You are most welcome!

Gisele,
I WANT to be able to have pics taken of me and not hit the delete button every time I see the pic on the camera. I have no real pics of me doing anything for the last 2 or 3 years,after our first Disney trip. So that is also my goal to have pics of myself and DD11 where i don't have to stand behind her so she looks like she has two heads.

BTW, I did not order out with everyone else today. I ate my lunch and felt good about myself.

Welcome Michelle!

It is great that you have made a new you resolution!
It is just fine, that you cannot find your scale, that might be the god of scales way of saying, you don't need to weigh yourself with that scale again, time for a new one, and or do not weigh yourself too often, for it is not necessary to do so. I only use the scale once in a great while, I let my clothing do the talking,that tale, can be scary enough as it is!
Walking is a great form of exercise, and what with running around with and after three little ones,you have yourself one most excellent home built gym
Emotional eating, is a real drag! if I had total control of the subject, then all of the weight that I had lost in the past, would still be there, instead of back on my butt, and,and,etc. not to mention I would have gotten off of that roller coaster ages ago, as well.I am still looking into that subject, maybe at some point I will finally get things right.
I am positive that you will succeed with your endeavor to control the subject of your ee, it just takes time, the right information, and will power.

Thank You, Gisele. I think things are starting to calm down around me and I am going to try to get a handle on that emotional eating...eventually

I feel the same about pics of myself. I don't think I let a picture be taken of me in years. The couple I do have I hate. I just want pics of me and the kids at WDW together.

OK, I convinced my daughter to go for a walk with me today. We only made it around the block! But, it was very windy & not much fun to walk in. So, I came home & played on the wii. My arms are killing me. It's amazing that I was actually kind of in shape a couple of months ago. It's kind of sad how quickly not working out can affect your body.

With regards to emotional eating, it really is a matter of not what you are eating so much, as it is a matter of what is eating you. Funny thing is I can answer, I believe that question(s) well enough,however at some point it just does not seem to matter one wit, and then the cycle continues of bad habits, and regaining weight, in the event that I don't nip it in the bud again, as it were.
One of the things that I am SO SICK TO DEATH OF is hearing just often enough from be it a friend or sales person, or stranger, you are a big woman! (ugh) holy! *&^% I sometimes rebut that statement, sometimes I am not in the mood, and one of these days someone is going to really wish they had not made that statement, for I will put them in their proper place, anything that is obvious about their shortcomings watch out, you better set up a therapy time with a shrink, because I will say everything that I have a mind to say. Again I do, defend myself, but you know sometimes, you are just not in the mood, and you need to just let it roll off of your (big,apparently) shoulder.
I felt like telling that shoe salesman, you know I am not that big! but then next to you, just about anyone would be, you little pipsqueak, (I would add something else too, actually I am just trying to keep it G here! ) further more, I have lost weight, and big to me is, add another 100 pounds on my frame, then I will accept that term, in addition define "big" do you really even know what it means? see I did not say anything to him,for I was trying to enjoy my shoe shopping experience, I do not buy shoes that often, especially not the type that I cannot necessarily wear all day long, unless of course I am sitting down, (and quite possibly on the next person that calls me that!)

It is really good to see so many people here, ready to share their weight without hesitation. I thought I was a minority to be in the low 200 range, as I have always been embarrassed to say I weigh over 200lbs. I definately want to be part of this thread, as I am just starting (again) on WW. I went to my first weigh in since I had my DS last July. Here is my info
Name: Jill
Age: 29
Location: Southern NH
Excercise: still thinking this one through...Currently I chase around my 4 kids!
Type of Diet: WW
Start of Diet: May 7, 2008
Goal Weight: 165lbs
Starting Weight: 218
Weight loss to date: 3lbs-so far this week. (I have a scale issue in which I weigh myself twice a day, not to dwell on the number on the scale, but to keep me motivated!)
Goal Date: I would like to be down at least 30 lbs by my trip on 9/18. I have used WW before with great success, but unfortunately, I gain a lot of weight with my pregnancies- 50+lbs. I am so ready to get rid of the latest baby weight.
Just want to be able to shop in "normal" stores again as I am a size 18 and would love to be a 12 again. Wish me luck.

Welcome disneyJMD!

WOW! running around with and after 4 little ones most definitely counts as real exercise!
In my opinion WW is a great choice! and most excellent for losing 3 pounds this past week! I personally tried harder this past week to lose at least 2 pounds, and then I weighed myself this morning, and blammo! nothing, other than of course the same stinking number! (huge sigh, but not one of relief!)
Don't feel bad, for I have you outnumbered by 42 pounds in the weight category. OMG! o.k. I finally said it!
Now your magic number is 7.5, for 30 pounds by @4 months = losing @7.5 lb.s each month.
I too am sick of wearing size 16 and up! (blah) oh well like I always say to myself and anyone that is willing to listen! he!he! it could be worse, I could weigh 360 pounds instead, or be injured or ill. At least we are relatively healthy, really if you think about it, we are.
At least we will endure very nicely a famine! not that I want to take part in one, of course, just a wink there,although it is true.
My number is 8.71 for losing @61 pounds before the new year. Not sure what happend to Jan.- May 01st! ( I don't believe that I can say OMG! enough times) or maybe I can

Hi Giselle, I would love to be your buddy. I'm going to start walking tomorrow and get on my gym 4 days a week. I just need a reason not to sit there and stare at it. I live in Ohio and I plan on joining weight watchers this Saturday. let me know how you're doing.

Together We Can Do This!

Is it logical to think that I could lose 4-5 pounds in 25 days? I'm fairly close to the weight I'm want to be at, but my shorts are still a little snug.

Today is my last day of school & I think I'll be able to do a better job at watching what I eat & exercising now that I'm home. I hope so anyways!

I think it's do-able. Up your water intake, which will cut your appetite, and just get moving as often as possible. Good luck!

I lost 4 pounds over the past 2 weeks . Both my boys were crazy sick last week, so I wasn't really eating and totally forgot to weigh in. This week was PMS week and I've been ravenous, so I was pretty pleased to see a loss on the scale this morning.

 

[LastLookAtTheCastle]

Just came from weighing in at WW, and I hit my 10% today! Stats are now:

Starting: 189.2
Current: 170.2
Goal: 149.2

 

[JuliaK+3]

Okay, I'm subscribing to this thread. I need all the motivation I can get. I keep telling myself that the less I weigh at WDW, the less I'll have to wear, and the more comfortable I'll be. Apparently, that's not working since I just gained 2 lbs last week

We're going in late June and I hope I can lose a solid 7 lbs by then. Lord, help me wake up early enough to make it yoga tomorrow...

 

[Mophia'sMom]

I have finally decided it is time to lose the weight I've gained since getting married, 54 lbs in 4 years (1 pregnancy). In fact my entire family is on board, we are all doing WW. Me, DH, DD13 (thinks she's fat, she's not...I'll just make sure she eats healthier), and my Dad (he lives with us since my mom passed away).
Thanks
