Losing weight for Mickey

[Gina35]

I, too, will be going in August. Lost a ton of weight like Erin (congrats!) several years ago but since the fall have put back on about 30 pounds. Want to lose as much as possible before our trip. Hope to keep up with all of you so that I can re-reduce!!

Weigh Day & I'm down 2 pounds to 241. If only it came off as easy as it went on! Just have to keep going.

So, so true about going on easy!! I told myself that this time I wouldn't get above 5-10 lbs. higher than goal....so much for that. Now that we're committed, losing anything is better than nothing, right??

Congrats Goofy Baby! I'm 2.5 weeks in this go around & also love WW. Tonight I went to a party & brought my own version of nachos (Baked Tostitoes, etc.) and cupcakes made with a cake mix & Diet Coke. No one even noticed I was eating healthy & the cupcakes were gone by the time we left. It's just such an easy program to fit into normal life.

I ran my first full mile yesterday. It's been a while since I've run and it just felt so good. So sore today, but so good.

Thanks! It feels good to lose for a change. I completely forgot about the diet coke cupcakes - thanks for reminding me! I too, love how easy WW is to fit into normal life. . .and congrats on running your first full mile! I am hoping to be able to run again soon, but right now, my knees are not strong enough. . .that is soon to change!

Ok I have journaled everything I put in my mouth today on the Sparkle people website....I have stayed within my suggested range and done some exercise!!!! I feel good!!!!!

Great job! I think I need to start journalling everything I eat. Sometimes I will just grab something without even thinking about it. That is one of my biggest problems!

That website (sparke people...) is free and it is a little bit of a hassel to enter in everything you eat there but it holds me accountable and makes me conscious of what I've eaten...this is only day two but so far I've stuck to it!

Okay...just checking in. Not sure how often we are supposed to post an update, but it has been a week and two days. I am down 3lbs from 160 to 157 and have 12lbs to go. If allergies and stress don't kill me, I should hopefully make my goal by May 31st!!!

Did I see someone mention diet coke cupcakes? Do you have a recipe?

Did I see someone mention diet coke cupcakes? Do you have a recipe?

Yup. One box of chocolate cake mix. One Diet Coke. Stir. Put in 24 cupcake holders & bake at 350 for about 20 min (my oven it is only 15 so watch them.)

The points are whatever the box mix is since you aren't adding any calories, fat or fiber.

That's it.

One tiny recommendation, tho, is freeze them when all done. Otherwise you'll eat WAY too many in one sitting.

Hey everyone!!!

I'm so happy to see that this thread is still going - its amazing!!! I haven't been on in forever - not going to Disney any time soon, so I guess theres no point for me to come back on a lot - and had no idea this was still going strong!

As for myself, I've lost a total of 80lbs, and I'm going to run (yes, I said run!) my first 5K later next month. I've hit a platau, and its really annoying me - I run a minimum of 3.2 miles about 6 days a week, and I've been at the same weight for 2 weeks now!!! I'd be hittin the chocolate chip cookies right now if it weren't for the fact that I can see a difference in my body, dispite the scale not moving!

Anyway, I just want to say I'm so happy for everyone whos stuck with it - its amazing!!! Hope everyone has a great, THIN summer!!!!!

Thanks so much!! I love chocolate anything so this would be really yummy!!

Had a hard time sticking to it this week, so was glad to find out that even though I hadn't lost, I also hadn't gained.

Hello everyone,

Well this is my third week and my second post. Last week I reported that I had lost two pounds and was coming in at 198 pounds. Well I am happy to report that I have lost another 3 pounds bringing my weight to 195 (look at me and my math skills!!)

I'm happy to have lost more weight but it just seems to be coming off so slow. My biggest problem is that I sit on my butt for 45 plus hours a week at work and when I'm home my husband and I are so busy with our girls or church activities that we don't always have the healthiest meals. So if any of you have healthy meal ideas for families who are always on the go feel free to send them my way.

Anyway congrats to everyone and good luck with the days/weeks to come.

Congratulations to everyone who has lost weight this week! I am on track to lose about 2 pounds at WW weigh-in on Saturday morning. . .I've really been sticking to the plan, journaling (online with e-tools), counting points, exercising 5 days a week and getting all of my water in. I haven't felt this great in a long time!

Keep up the great work everyone! And thanks again, esterhead, for the reminder about the diet coke cupcakes!

I'm down 2.5 for the week! Yesterday, the scale actually said 3, but today it was up .5. Oh well....progress is progress!

 

[luckylady7991]

For me, I can't stick to a diet that's drastically different from my existing one. So I would suggest just smaller portions. And exercise is a must.

Hi all,
I just found this and I'd like to join. I actually started my diet faithfully the end of March. I found out I needed to keep a log to keep count of my calories. My total calories daily is 1400-1500. I was also introduced to green tea and also take the mega-t belly fat pills.

Name:Linda
Location: Delaware
Start Date:Last week of March
Start weight: 145
Goal weight: 130
Weakness:Eating with kids at work(I'm a teacher). I can't count these calories so I go over my daily limit. Junk food. But I'm doing really good with eating a portion size to fit my count.
Diet: Eating healthy, mega green t pills and 3-4 cups of green tea.
Exercise: brisk 1 hour walks around the park 3-4 times a week, 30 min. abs on the "on demand" channels and singing and dancing for hours about dumping my ex. (Finally after 2 1/2 years he was good for something)

I am now down to 137 and counting
