Losing weight for Mickey

[JackJack08]

Hi everyone!! Any room for me?? We are going for MMNSSHP this year, and I am fat. I hate it.....I need to lose 60 lbs. Of course I can't do it by then....but I should be able to lose some, right!!!? You guys seem so motivated.

Hey all, just checking in. My next weigh in isn't till Monday, but I REALLY hope to move my ticker from 50lb to 55lbs! I've been walking/jogging every day, sometimes twice a day, and eating really well. Hope everyone else is having a good diet / exercise time!! WE CAN DO IT!

 

[ChrisMouse]

Hope I can join you all. We have two trips on the horizon...DH and I are having a second honeymoon in November (married 13 years and had our first honeymoon at WDW), and then our whole family is going next May.

I *REALLY* need to lose weight before both trips. I'm hoping to lose 25 pounds by November 10th and be at my goal weight by the trip in May.

I need some pals to encourage me along...can I join you all for support and encouragement?

Thanks!

Weighed in today, down another pound! 2 would have been better, but at least its 1! I had a bad week, little exercise. Very busy with unplanned activites. Oh well, school starts this week, maybe I'll have more time to work out. 11 pounds to go for my ultimate goal, 2 pounds to go for my Disney goal!

ATTENTION EVERYONE!! I have found the key to losing weight. I haven't been on in a while, so let me set the stage: I am 37, 199lbs as of 10am today. I have incredible stamina, but am still fat. I am trying to watch what I eat, but like all of us, there are several things in my way: A 6 year old, 4 year old, 2 year old, full time job, and company business. So finding time for the gym has been, well, difficult. So, I just joined this new gym called "The Rush". Could really care less about the amenities. I mean, it's nice, indoor lap pool, rock wall, yada yada, spin classes, yada. But the KIDS AREA!! Small scale indoor playground like McD's, flatscreen TV for Disney movies, 3 playstations, indoor games, HOLY COW!! At any rate, when your kids get up on a Sunday and say, Mommy can we go to the gym, you go. Talk about motivation!!

Hi...So since I started I have lost 4 lbs, I would like it to be more, because I always hear people.. well the first week I lost like 8 pounds !

In any case, I did that. I would have like to loose 10 at least before vacation next week. I couldn't do the flat belly diet, couldn't stand that sassy water. So, back to my weight watchers. Seems to work best, but very slowly. Usually get discouraged & eat more, but trying to stay on track.

Been exercising at least 4 days a week.. started doing this Wii Fit thing that we bought for the kids, OMG my stomach is really sore from doing the hula hupping.. it really works your abs. So that's where I am for now...

And wow the weight loss on midifast... that's incredible.

Hi I saw this thread to see what it is all about. Well I like it. Its free and up to me. I really enjoying listen and reading about everyday women like me who need to drop some pounds. I am not going to DW until next summer but would like to take some weight off. It gets harder to move caring extra weight.

My reasons for losing:
1. I have a hypothyroid (sluggish) is that an excuse no because I lost a few pounds a year ago, but got into school and lost my head with eatting on the go

2. I want to be healthy I have two kids and a husband I want to grow old with him and be able to take my grandkids to WDW.

3. Lane Bryant clothes are to expensive.

4. I have hate it when I put myself down for not having any success.

I went to sparklepeople (I just read this post today) and signed up. I like seeing what I eat and being able to purchase these simple foods. I will start packing my lunch, to save money (for disney of course )

Spend less time

I just got back from Weight Watchers and this was my first full week on it. I know we all lose more in that first week than on normal weeks, but I was so proud to be down 7.6lbs! Yay me!

Now to just stick with it!

That is a great start for your first week. You should be proud.

Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I just wanted to share something that I learned at the meeting this morning.

It's a bread from Arnold Select - called Sandwich Thins. They are really good and are only 1 point! It's the same idea, I guess, as a pita - but they are cut completely in half like a regular slice of bread. I got the multi grain but they also have a white version. I don't know what the points are on the white.

5 grams of fiber per serving!

Wow you ladies are awsome. I am too starting a diet. My hubby and I are 100 over weight and are trying. So, we are going to Disney next June/July and man I have been there it is hot and if your overweight it is no fun. So, we are on a mission to loose 1 to 2 lbs a week, so the walking has begun, and all the white stuff is out of my house. We are lucky right now because we have a garden and all the fresh veggies are in and all so good. So everyone keep your fingers crossed for me. I think when we figured it out if we could do it we would be down 60lbs. And man my knees will also be doing the happy dance.

Congrads to everyone on there success.

 

[licountrygirl]

Welcome, Murrlene! 2lbs a week is a great goal - all the best to you!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Happy to say I have a new ticker!! 55 pounds down, 20 to go - at least till my tattoo! Then I want another 20-30 off after that! WW is awsome!

 

[bunkkinsmom]

How do I get the tickers? I want a goal ticker too!

 

[CDNTech]

Start weight: 210lbs (July 7th, 2008)
Current weight: 206lbs
Goal weight by Disney (Feb): 185lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 165lbs

Well, I was down 6lbs... then we went camping for two weeks and I gained back 4lbs. I'm back down again to 206lbs.

The good news is that we just bought a Wii and Wii Fit. I've been doing a minimum 30 minutes per day on it for 4 days (since we bought it) and usually going for closer to an hour. It's so much fun and even though I'm working up a sweat and getting sore muscles, it doesn't feel like exercise.

I've also been really good on my weight watchers this week. Hopefully I'll have better results in another week or so.

If you see a ticker that you like, go to the website listed on the ticker. It will then allow you to create your own. Then you just embed the code it gives you into your signature.
