Losing weight for Mickey

[rumrunnergirl]

Here's something funny - someone asking about alli - and that is the ad on this page right now! LOL

I haven't posted my Monday weighs in for a couple weeks so here they are:

3/17 - no weight lost but lost 1/2"
3/24 - lost 1 pound and 1/2"

On the down side - anyone know of a really good body lotion that actually helps skin elasticity? As I am losing weight, my skin on my tummy is getting a little saggy. Ugh. I am 46 so I know I can't reverse the signs of aging - LOL - but I am hoping to make my skin look better as my body looks better.

On the bright side - Monday is going to be exciting - my goal is to be at 160 and I think I'll make it! On Easter, I got into a dress I haven't worn since spring of 2000! And right now I am wearing shorts that I wore back then too! Woo hoo!

As far as the deadline, for myself, I really do have one for my Baltimore trip because of something I want to get while I'm there - a tattoo. I know, its not the thing a mother of two she be thinking about, but I really want this. I want to get it on my lower back (I know, its a tramp stamp, but I just don't know where else to put it!)

Oh, please! I am a mother of two, go to church twice a week, don't drink, don't smoke, don't take drugs, etc. - and I have a tattoo! I've been battling skin cancer since I was 22 and I've had so much stuff cut off my skin that I decided to put something pretty on it. So for my 35th birthday I got a seahorse on my left hip - no one sees it unless I am in my undies, bathing suit, or nekkid - so let me say that it's rarely seen, LOL! I wanted it private. It's for ME.

I figured if men could deal with the pain, so could I, LOL. And it really didn't hurt. It's about 4" tall and cost $85 back then - 11 years ago. I want to get another on my right hip but don't know what to get, and I also need to get this weight off first.

I'm a professional woman with a M.A. in Literature, mom of two, devoted wife and churchgoer... and I have five tattoos.

You get that lower back tattoo. It's an awesome moment. Or five. Depending.

Oh, forgot to post my weight loss since I began... down 8.2 pounds this month total.

Starting: 189.2
As of WW today: 181.0

Thanks! I actually have one - I got it when I was like 15 in Canada. Its horrible! Its a little mouse (not Mickey) holding a heart - its on my ancle. I had a blue flower on my chest (Got that one in Mexico when I was 14....) but it was removed when I had a breast reduction - THANK GOD!!! I'm really super excited to get this - I just hope I can get an appointment while I'm there. If anyone is interested, here it is:

I'm going to get "Strength" in Chinese next to him, and then take out the cherry blossoms that are in it, and put more defined ones. I just hope it doesn't take to long!!!
More on topic - I did my treadmill 2x 40 minutes each time Wed, Thurs & today, and I plan on doing it all weekend too. I really want this "bad food choice" I made off ASAP! If I'm not back down to at least 195 by Monday, I'l be totally crushed - I know it will happed with all the hard work I'm putting in! I'm also going to start measuring this coming Monday - just wish I had started that in the beginning!


BTW - Great job on the weight loss!!!

Hi all!

I am new here, but would really love to join you all. I am planning a trip to Disney in 2009 (yesssss.... it's forever away) with my daughter and her family.

But I need to lose a lot of weight to be able to go and enjoy it! And keep up with those grandkids.

Is there anyone out there who struggles with slow metabolism, loves candy- but loves her grandkids and Disney more?

I'm interested in linking up virtually with any other Disney-loving Grandmas who are trying to lose weight for Mickey!

I'm Grandma PS, and I'm 66. And I CAN do this- right?

Hope to hear from you!

Hi Grandma PS and welcome, I'm not a grandmother but I did want to offer my support - you can do this!!! I love going to WDW with my husband and 3 little ones but I always feel uncomfortable, hot and sore, this year I hope to have more energy and more stamina, although I'm sure I will still be hot. We all have different goals and different timelines but we are all here to support one another. So again, welcome and good luck on your weight loss.

I just wanted to say GOOD LUCK THIS WEEKEND! As for myself, I will be on the treadmill 2x each day just to try to get that "mistake" off me! I'm pretty much back down to where I was before the dreded cheese fries incident, but I'm not stopping now!!! I still want to register a "loss" for the week, even if it is small.

we had a wonderful time! The weather was fantastic...the days got better and better each day! We did all we wanted to do in the early am at he parks and went back to hotel by lunch to relax then back to parks at night....but I have to tell you I just viewed our photopass pix online and I could just cry! I can't believe I let myself get this big! On the way home I told my husband that I have to do something. I was having trouble w/ knees and hips while walking, found myself breathing heavily while running to attain fastpasses for my family, did I mention chest pain!? Dear I am only going to be 42 in a couple of weeks. NOT GOOD! How the heck did this happen? Well, needless to say, I can't keep going on like this and although I set our trip as a goal...it has come and gone so now I need to look forward and lose weight from this point!!!! For those of you who still have time to lose before your trip....KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! It will be worth it!
I am thinking nutrisystem or 6 week makeover.....anyone on these?

Glad you had a good time in the World, but don't get so down on yourself. You broke my heart and it "sounds" like yours is broken too. Now you know what you have to work for and you'll be ready for the next trip. It's just too bad that losing weight is not as easy or as fun as gaining it.

What is the 6 week makeover? I can't say that I've ever heard of that, but I am interested to know more.

there is no such thing as a dreadful cheese fry incident. they might be forbidden and cause feelings of deep guilt and remorse, but they should never be dreaded.
Good luck to all this weekend!

ETA: unless you're taking alli...then i guess a cheese fry incident could go horribly wrong

Wow, Monday already and I have no weight loss to report . I thought I was doing pretty well this weekend but still eating late (shame, shame, shame). So I just did 20 minutes on the treadmill and I hope to do 40-50 minutes more of cardio at the YMCA after I take DD to preschool. We are leaving for Cocoa Beach in 11 days and I dread trying to squeeze myself into my bathing suit, I'd love to even lose 5-7lbs before we leave. Good luck to everyone and stay strong this week!!

Height 5.0
Still 168
Wish 128

I had a really bad week last week (and most of it is still on me). At my lowest, I was down to 192.6 - as of this morning, I'm 196.4 - and thats a pound up for the day before. But I have finally put last week behind me, and I am charging through this week. I have already done my 2x 40 minute walk/runs on the "mill" and I have also hidden the scale. I don't want to look at it again until next Monday. I think it will be better for me that way, though I don't know how DH will take it - he likes to weight in every morning and evening. How often does everyone else "scale watch?"
Now tomorrow we are supposed to go to a Trenton Thunder game (thats a AA baseball team here in Jersey) and I don't know what I'm going to do about food. I'm thinking that I will eat something here, maybe take a bar in with me, as well as a drink - I just hope the allow me. Maybe I'll tell them I'm diabetic or something, and I have to have my special drink..... think it will work???? Good luck this week everyone - stay away from the dreaded (yes, they are dreaded) CHEESE FRIES!

[Sydnerella]

Congrats to those who lost last week and those who stuck to their fitness plans. Both can be really hard to do - especially with Cheese Fries calling us. Last Fri my thing was Champps fries - waffle ones with seasoned sour cream... I said no, but still want 'em... and the restaurant is right downstairs in my office building - YIKES!!! But I will try to say no or at least split them a few ways if I cave this week...

I like the idea of weighing only once per week SharpMom. Too many fluctuations between each day and thru the day. I dont have a scale at home (perhaps this is why I am in the situation in the first place...) and i weigh in Sat am at WW. That's enough scale for my taste. After being down each week for a month, this week I was up 2... I did ok with my eating but not the my working out (improved but not my goal amount of time). And I have my period... So, owell. One more weigh-in before Disney and I hope I can at the very least go to WDW knowing I was going the right way. 15 lbs to pre Sydnerella's birth and then another 20 to go... I will get there cuz the size 16's are starting to be big and my mental state is more inspired and less depressed cuz of all of you! Thanks.

I hope this is true even when i see MY pics online and the nice but not so smooth Disney photographer made the mistake of capturing my lumpy legs in each shot of my adorable short people... Capris are the answer I think!!

Cool tattoo!

Even though I have gained for the week a total of 4 pounds I tried on an old old pair of jeans last night - the last pair of jeans I ever wore before going into plus size clothes..... they almost fit! They are button fly Halogens and I was able to get all the buttons buttoned but the last one. I was really happy, and even more supprised that they fit so well.... wonder how well they would have fit if I hadn't run into thoes cheese fries....... Yes I'm still beating myself up on that one!!!!

I can't offically start until my daughter is born any day now but I will follow along to stay motivated. I did ww 2 years ago for my other Disney trip, lost 27ish and felt amazing. We are going again May of 2009 and would love to do it again. Right now my weight is 30-40 above where I want to be and Im giving myself a year after shes born to reach my 135-140 goal. Good luck to everyone.
