Losing weight for Mickey

[GoofySon'sMom]

Another fan on Leslie Sansone....just ordered from QVC her 5 tapes and menu guide for under $25!

Yes, I ordered that, too. Mine came today but I haven't opened it yet.

I went grocery shopping last night & found a 100 calorie pack of Keebler grasshopper cookies. They tasted just like Girl Scout thin mints!!! They are now hidden in the back of the freezer, just for me!

I really enjoy the 100 cal. pack of Kebbler Fudge Stipes.... But the problem is that is very hard to just have one pack. I am good and only have one pack per day. That is the only sugar I allow myself. They are very yummy.

Today was the first day of my diet. I am going low carb, I did ok but was home all day with my sick DD and I did have a piece of bread. Well tomorrow is another day, I just have to keep reminding myself that I make my own choices and if I want to be thin when we go to WDW in December than I have to buckle down and get serious. I did not exercise today at all, had to take DD to dr., she has strep throat. So she just really wanted to sit and cuddle this afternoon and tonight. Tomorrow I will commit to at least 30 minutes of exercise. Go Team !!!

[WInurse]

Is it to late or can I still join? I am not going back to the World until 2009, but my daughter wants to have a swim party for her birthday and I would love to not be embarrassed in a swim suit!


Name: Amanda
Age: 25
Location: Wonderfully cold Wisconsin- actually we are having a heat wave
Type of diet: More fruits and veggies less sugar/ processed foods
Exercise: More of it!!
Weight: 190's
Goal: 160 by this summer; 140 by Disney time!

 

[Jen414]

I'd like to join also. We'll be heading back to Disney in August, and although I want to look good then, I really just want my clothes to feel right again and not be too tight, especially my jeans.

Name: Jen
Age: 36
Location: MA
Type of diet: none, really, just trying to watch what I eat
Exercies: 4-5 times per week at Curves
Weight at start : 156
Goal : 145 (or maybe 140, but I'd be happy at 145)
Weight lost so far .5 lbs.
Downfall: snacks, especially during Patriots games (Go Pats!!!) and food in the teachers' room--it's always there and it's always bad for you because everyone brings things in that they don't want at their own house!!!!!

 

[fluffernutter]

All I know is that I'm glad fluffernutter isn't my partner! My stomach growls every time I read that screen name!

I will try and not take this personally,LOL
hey how do you think I got to this weight in the first place,eating fluffernutters,they ARE the best thing in the world. I cannot keep a jar of fluff here in my house,I would just open the cabinet and take a spoonful all throughout the day,not a good thing.

well,the verdict is in and I survived my first week. I lost 6 pounds. My sugar cravings are still raging on and this is the hardest part for me. I start to lose a little weight ,gain some confidence and then "reward" myself with some sugar which starts the vicious cycle all over again. SO I need some help in saying No to the mean old sugar,lol

I cant do the 100 pack things,I cant stop myself,so I prefer not to do it,but I need to find some alternative sugary treats when it hits me. It also doesnt help that Im PMS'ing right now...

How is everyone else doing tonight??
Exercising is slow for me,right now. I need to try and find some time,by the end of the night,Im so exhausted that I cant do anything. My little one gets Early Intervention,she has low muscle tone and we have 4 therapists coming in and out of the house every day during the week. Once the nicer weather comes I take the girls out in the double stroller for a walk but right now,its too cold,but hey tomorrow they say 60 for us in NY,wow,what a weird winter this is so far.
so back to the exercise part,I think I just need to wake up at 600 and pop in a tape,not at 430 am like my buddy,I dont know how she does it,but man I give her credit

Once again,Im so glad to be doing this with you guys.
have a great night and dont forget biggest loser is on tomorrow night. This time I promise I wont watch it as I eat a bowl of ice cream

I think it is really great that we all have such diverse ways of losing weight. It gives everyone a different perspective on how others can do it. I only was able to do two miles today, walking at work. My plan is to get up when DH leaves for work at 5:30, walk till 6, then get ready for work. I figure I am awake anyway, so might as well get up and get moving. I have to say having this group has helped so much so far. I was going to WW before, but never felt a connection to the group. Even thought we may only talk on line with each other we are all joined by the love of the mouse. Thanks to everyone for their stories and for Sarah starting this thread

It is a sandwich made up of wonder white bread with peanut butter and fluff which is a marshmallow creme inside and then you just eat it. YUM YUM YUM
it is very bad in a delicious way ,as you said,lol
be glad you havent eaten one yet,one less food to give up in 2008

Thanks for starting this thread!!!

 

[twins4disney]

maybe when I reach my goal I can try a small one....that could be awhile, got to love marshmellow creme!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[fortheluvofpooh]

oh no, cleaned off the tread mill to actually use it as a treadmill not a clothing rack, and it isn't working right. I have to have DH look at it. the motor is running but the band isn't keeping up, so I went into the garage and used the universal gym for the entire cd of Nicole C Mullins (love her). Better than nothing

This is DD4's favorite! I don't think I could make her one right now without taken a big, very unladylike spoonful of peanut butter and fluff. No bread necessary.
Thank goodness I have this thread to check in with and remind me that it will be worth it.

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Hey all, its me Sarah again.
So I put a posting up asking everyone to PM or email me with what they lost for the week so we could post our totals and our "biggest loser." Out of our 50+ members, only 17 participated I'm figuring that everyone is just starting out, and that the amount of people doing it NEXT MONDAY will be greater. As far as the people who did contact me, most of us did very well! I think about two people said they lost 10 pounds, others lost 1-3 pounds. As for myself, I went from 225.5 to 217.5. I'm very happy with that, though I've only gotten on the treadmill once since starting. Was going to go on yesterday, but a neighbor walked up the driveway with her son right as I was about to jump on
Anywho, I hope the weightloss updates will be better next week, because I think its a great incentive to read what others have lost!

Good luck this week ladies - and lay off the nutterbutters!!!!

Does anyone have a low-fat/diet type cook book that they really like? I went to Barnes and Noble, but there were so many, I couldn't pick. Looking for recommendations.

I LOVE my Cooking Light magazines and cookbooks. I've never made a recipe I didn't like. You can find most any cooking light recipe on-line, too. I just type "blueberry muffins cooking light recipe" or whatever you're looking for, and it always comes up.
