Losing weight for Mickey

[SharpMomOfTwo]

OMG, I know I post on here WAY TO MUCH, but I'm excited! DH just got on the scale this morning, and he said that within about a day and a half, the scale said that he gained 5-6 pounds! He hasn't eaten bad at all, so we think that there may be something wrong with the scale! That means that my cheese fries bindge may not have caused as much damage as I orignally thought! So if I subtract 5 pounds from what the scale said Monday, that means I'm under what I knew to be my lowest weight!
One thing that kinda stinks for me though, the guy who I want to do my tattoo in Baltimore told me that he may be away on vacation when we come down. If he is, that means no tattoo My only consolation is that it will give me more time to lose even more weight, and DH knows plenty of tattoo guys around here from being a semi-pro skateboarder..... He used to work in the Casino Skate Park in Asbury Park, NJ which was run by a guy who owns several of the oldest tattoo parlors in Jersey.

Forget cheese fries - how about CHILI CHEESE FRIES!! YUM!

Ok - for my Monday weigh in:

3/31 - lost 4 pounds, 1/2" in chest (which for me is a good thing, LOL), lost 1" in hips. That sounds like a lot of weight for one week, but I only lost 6 pounds for the month of March - all towards the end. I seem to plateau every now and then for 3 weeks, then boom! Off come 3-4 pounds.

I am at 161 which is 1 pound less than I weighed when I had my son - who is now 7! LOL

Monday weigh in~ 169.5
Need to buy a measuring tape so I can take measurements! Walked/jogged for 35 minutes! worked up a sweat! Woohoo! Going to try and fit in a little strenght training this afternoon! Can't start South beach again til Thursday (grocery day) so I am going to low cal it until then. anyone watch "I Can Make You Thin" on TLC? Thoughts?

 

[tmatthews]

Well I think this is good.... I didn't gain any while in Disney!!!!! And yesterday I "treated" myself and ordered nutrisystem! Time to get really serious now! (well, when the package arrives anyways!!! )

Hi everyone,
I am so glad I found this. I have been working on losing weight for about a year. Started in Janurary of 2007. I don't really follow a particular diet.
I just started cutting back on portion size and snacking on junk. I then added excersie into the mix. And started making better food choices. I still eat on occasions what I want. (junk food, martinis or fries) I just try to limit this,
Don't get me wrong it has very been hard I have tried in the past to lose weight but you know how that goes.
So here I am from a sz 22 jeans yes 22 to a size 16 jeans in the misses department. So my goal is to lose about 30more lbs. I don't want to be a size 2 just tired of being a 22.
So let all keep motivated we can do this!!!
P.S. I only weigh myself 1 a month because weight can fluctuate from day to day and week to week. So this way whatever I have lost for the month is the best I could do.

 

[tmatthews]

As of this morning I was down to 137

congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sharpmom=I'd go with the scale is broken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi..again. I've been off a long time. Dealing w/ some medical things that won't allow me to get on the treadmill or any other sort of exercise. I've been down for almost 7 weeks and it's really put me in a funk. I was even starting to jog about 10min and speed walk 50min on my treadmill when I had to stop. I'm up to 173 and wanting my goal of 160 by the time we go to WDW in 6 weeks.

My lack of exercise has really put me in a 'diet depression' like why bother...since I can't work out I might as well just skip the whole thing...grrr.

Now the Easter candy is gone and I should be able to start my workouts by Thursday and I'm so excited!!!

So everyone seems to be talking about Mondays. Is that sort of the unofficial weight posting day? I hate weighing in after the weekend. Any little weekend treat (cheese fries etc ) always shows up on the scale. I weigh myself at home on Fridays when I've had all week to be fairly good (when I'm 'on program' ) Either way I'm good.

This is all I can manage right now

Did that burn a few calories??

 

[stillthefairest]

When I am "on program" I like to weigh myself daily..it lets me get a better idea of what I really am weighing..our weight fluctuates during different times of the day and different times of the week. So...by weighing myself often I can then get an average and really figure out what is my actual weight and what might just be some water weight because I had too much salt the day before....

That being said..I have not weighed myself in a while..I have good intentions..but I have not really gotten myself in gear yet. I took the first step though!

I have ordered the weight watchers at home kit ...and it shipped today! HOORAY!!!! So..now I just have to wait for it to get here.

 

[DisFam95]

Grrr..

I weighed today too since I'm feeling a bit more motivated and hopeful to get back to eating better today and it's up to 174.4

Man taking off from workouts has really shown on the scales! I can't wait for tomorrow and get back at it. I may cheat and start tonight depening how I feel.

I'm packing my lunch too so I know what I'm eating. I thought I was making good choices. We have Chickfila in our cafe and I was getting the wrap w/ fat free dressing to add a little. That things has like 430 cal and 16 fat grams!!

ok...I can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morning all! Well we went to the baseball game last night, and I was very good. DH ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and I had about a quarter of it. It was soooo good too! We have at least 5 more games to go at that stadium this summer, so I'm sure I'll have more!
I'm having a really hard time not stepping on the scale every morning and evening. I had put it away in the closet, and the DH took it back out On one hand, I want to peak and see where I'm at right now, but on the other hand, I really want to wait till Monday.
I also just wanted to tell you guys about www.fatsecret.com I joined a while back, and I really like it. You can weigh in, write journal entries which people can respond to, ask questions in the forum.... get buddies... When you post your weekly weight in, it posts it for everyone else, but you can also see everyone else's weight loss progression. Another reason I really like it, is because they break people down by what diet they are on. So I can see all the WW people, and how they are losing compared to me, etc. Its really worth taking a look!!!

PS - DisFam - Don't knock it - I can't WAIT to be down to 174!

Hello all,

I just spent 26 minutes on my treadmill and once I finally got up a good pace and a pretty good sweat - the dang thing broke, it just stopped working. Oh well, I'll be calling Sears to have them come fix it this week and I hope to get to the YMCA this afternoon for a bit. From reading the posts it seems everyone is staying motivated even if they've hit some obstacles along the way. I keep telling myself, "I may not like how I look but I may never look this good again." I vividly remember weighing 135 and feeling so upset about it, my gosh, what I wouldn't give to be that weight again!!! I really need to drop 40 lbs but I refuse to get into a depression over it, I need to just forge ahead and stay positive. I think I may try WW, I've heard really good things, we are leaving next Thursday for our 10 day Cocoa Beach and Orlando trip and I really don't want to start anything until we get back. You are all doing such a great job and your posts are so motivatng - keep up the good work!!

 

[DisFam95]

SharpMom: Congrats on being so good at the game. That is oo hard to do in that environment.

It's all relative. I'm absolutely thrilled to not have to shop in plus size anymore and honestly I could stay here for the rest of my life and truely be happy. But I had gotten down to 163 last sept at my lowest before our Hawaii trip so I've seen the pounds creep back up and it just makes me mad at myself since I know I did it before and I can do it again.

I'm feeling good and I think I can't wait until tomorrow to start my workout so I'm disobeying orders and starting tonight! What's 1 night!!

I'm waaaay late joining this but I really want to....

weight : 235
height : 5'10"
goal: well under 200 (hopefully 165)
weakness: sweets, chocolate, carbs

I've upped my fruits and vegetables (trying to hit the goal of 5 fruits and 5 veggie servings daily). I've also been hitting the gym a minimum of 30 minutes 4 days a week. So far this week has been amazing! I have a ton of energy and I feel great! I've also been eatting a lot more fish for lunch (because I know DH and DS8 aren't fans).

I've already posted this on the main board, but I figured I might as well post it here as well!

Hello Dis Pals!
I know there are a lot of us on this board from New Jersey / New York, so I thought I might ask here. I am going to do the March of Dimes walk in Belmar, NJ Sunday April 27th, and I was wondering if any of you would like to join the cause. We could make our own Dis team! I know I'm not giving a lot of notice, but I just signed up for it myself. The walk is only about 3 miles, you have to be there by 9am for registration at the Taylor Pavilion - Belmar Fifth Avenue & Ocean Avenue.
I think this is a very important cause for many of us. I have been very lucky, I have two beautiful girls who are totally healthy (knock on wood). Not everyone in the world has had this - lots of women and families have complications with their pregnancies and newborns, maybe even some of us on this board.
I just feel that it is my duty to give back as much as I can. As mothers, as women, we need to do what we can to make the world a better place - this is just one way to do it.
Whos with me?

I haven't read the thread much, but also need to lose some weight before our June trip.
Just wondering, has anyone seen the the TLC show, "I Can Make You Thin"? That guy is amazing. I've tried his tactics and they work like a charm. Some of it is common sense, and so far he's thrown in some accupressure too(which really seems to work).

Just wondered if anyone else following this guy?

You're right, March of Dimes is a great cause, I've walked in previous years and always had fun doing it. I live too far to join you but wish I could, a DIS team would be great. I've also been blessed with healthy children but far too many are born premature and we still don't know why. I believe the MOD were the first to determine the importance of folic acid for expecting mothers - their research is so important. Have a great time at your walk, hopefully you'll have nice weather!!!

Well I joined this thread 2 months ago in order to keep myself motivated to lose some weight before we went to WDW. However, Monday I found a glitch in my plans.

I've had thyroid issues for the past 10 yrs. First I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism (Grave's Disease). I had my thyroid oblated but ended up with Hypothyroidism which is extremely common when you go through the radio-active iodine treatments for Hyperthyroidism.

Well, in the past 2 months, I have gained 8 lbs!!! Not lost, gained!!!! I've been doing yoga almost on a daily basis, doing slimfast shakes for at least one meal a day, 100 calorie snack packs, fruits & veggies. I should NOT be gaining weight. Well because of my suspicions I went to the doctor on Monday to have my levels checked and sure enough, they're out of whack! So frustrated. They're trying to get me into my endocrinologist ASAP so I can have my meds adjusted.

So much for losing weight before I leave in 3 weeks. I'm so not happy about this.

 

[mamaLori05]

It's working, It's working!!! YAHOOO!!! I've increased what I've been eating to a plain waffle for breakfast, a ham and provolone sandwich on wheat bread for lunch, and chicken and veggies for dinner, with snacks of home popped popcorn. I've lost 2 lbs this week and it's staying off!!!! Down to 140!!!!! YEA!!!! five to ten more lbs to go!!!!! Hopefully I can do it before we leave!

If you "shut over the computer" and hadn't written such a rude comment on such a lovely and positive board, then maybe I wouldn't have had to report you.


Good Job sharpmom!! I didn't quite understand where that fit in, or why????
