Losing weight for Mickey

[JuliaK+3]

Oh thats to funny! I looked at the Yankee website for a list of food, but it didn't have one that I could find. DH says he has something at work listing everything, from the store locations, to the healthy choice venders, so that will be helpfull. I remember from going years past, that where we usually enter there is a healthy choices vender right there, but DH says we will be entering on the other side this year.... I have to say, I do LOVE a NYC street dog (Grey Papaya is my FAV!!!), but just one of those is like a full meal of WW points in itself! We can do it Julia - we don't need the chicken fingers and fries...... maybe we can just take of few bites of our husbands!!!

No, we don't need the chicken fingers. I just want them Did you find out about the healthy choices? We're almost always on the 1st base side and DH hikes all the way over to the 3rd base side for the chicken fingers. If he'll hike for chicken fingers, then he should hike for grilled chicken too right?

I can't believe I'm going to do this but I PROMISE not to eat the chicken fingers at the game. I may have a bite or two but I will not get my own order. I will not.

There, now I won't because I don't want to come back on Monday and admit I caved.

Have fun at the game SharpMomOfTwo!! And have a happy and healthy Memorial Day weekend everyone!!!! Just say no to the potato salad...

Hi thegrimdwarf!

I did the calculation on the WW website - which looks at what you do (I sit at a desk), how much I weight now and it says 20 points. It is low, I feel hungry regularly. The 'kickstart' programme, which you can do for 2 weeks, allows only 18 points!

I must say, in the past 20 points has allowed my 1-2lbs per week loss. I've now added exercise and my weight loss is non-existent!!!

I'm pretty fed up.

But ..... it's only 76 days to vacation!!!

Well, we are back from the game, and about to go out to dinner I did really well at the game, though I shared a regular coke with DH, the only thing I had to eat was a salad from the italian sub place - near gate 4. It was really good, though the croutons were greasy. It was hard paying something like $7.50 for lettus, but my body will pay me back for it. Now I just have to eat well at dinner!!! The place we are going has THE BEST deserts... DH and I are going to share one - or maybe if they have strawberries and cream or something light I'll have that. Hope you enjoyed the game and stayed away from the chicken fingers!!!

PS - I couldn't find a grilled chicken sandwich anywhere!

I did it!!! I successfully avoided the chicken fingers!!!! That's a HUGE victory since I have them every single time I got. It wasn't planned like this but I think I got food from the same stand you did SharpMom! I saw the Julius Caesar Salad for $7.50 and I started laughing. I got the turkey and cheese on Foccacia. Not as good as a salad but not too bad. A hand full of cracker jacks and a bottle of water to go with it.

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Well, I took last week off, and the scale showed it this morning - I'm up 2 pounds! Well, I'm back on today. DH works till 5 today, so I'll be eating right, and back on the treadmill 2x, and also doing my 6 second ab machine at least 2x today and every day till we leave for Baltimore in the 13th. I had a goal of being down to 166 by the trip, but that would mean losing 13 pounds in 13 days.... don't think thats going to happen, but at least I can take off maybe 5-10 pounds by then. I had also hoped to be in my size 10 shorts by then, but that doesn't seem like its going to happen either. Well, I'm sure it will happen before the end of the summer anyhow! Good luck everyone else!

By the way, good job on avoiding the chicken fingers! And yeah, it was the Julius Ceasar salad that I had - $7.50 for nothing but letus, a little bit of parma cheese, and some very greasy crutons was a lot, but it was better than eating what DH did!

Okay, I'm ready to join you! I Low-Carbed last summer and lost 35 lbs between mid-May and Sept. 1. I have tried and failed to get back on it several times, but hey, it's May! I have recommited myself and I have been LCing since tuesday.

The good news: I have kept all 35 lbs off, so for those who say "you gain it all back" (and there are many out there who have told me that), I'm sorry, you are wrong.

The bad news: I have 3 Disney shirts that I purchased online that are a little snug & I refuse to send them back!

So my goal is to lose another 30 by Sept. 15, 5 days before our Disney trip. Of course the ultimate goal is to fit into those super cute tee's!

Now the stats:


Name: Tina
Age: 28
Location: Texas
Type of diet: Low-Carb
Excercise: Hmmm...do I have to? Okay,okay, I'll try to walk!
Start date of diet: 5/19/07 (Recommited 5/27/08)
Goal: 170 for now

Current Weight:198
Weight loss to date: 34

One more thing I like to do, measurements:

Im a hockey player so I have a lot of muscle mass, but I'd really like to get rid of my spare tire!

I work out every day. I ride the elliptical for 35-50 min a day and do weight training every other day.

So starting today here are my stats

So last night, I'm lying in bed with DH, and he makes the anouncement that he would really like some ice cream. So at 9.30pm at night, he gets up, and goes and gets some!!! I couldn't believe it!! And on top of that, the jerk get back into bed with it, and ate it (really loudly I might add) right next to me!!!
The only good part about it, was that he was really craving Stone Cold, and so I told him there was one right down the street from us.... so he goes there, and there out of business!!! HAHAHA, served him right.... to bad there are 2 more ice cream places right down the same street though.......

Hi All:

I have been lurking on this thread for a couple of months, and now its time to join! I just finished a 12 week medically supervised all protein fast and lost 50 lbs. I am glad to be back on solid food, but this is where the hard part starts! I am so afraid that I will not be able to limit my eating and will start to gain back the weight.

We are going to WDW in November. My goal is to lose another 50 pounds by the time we go. I have been walking 45 minutes per day on the treadmill, but recently my Doctor advised adding strength training. So last week, I joined Curves. Anyone else?

Here's my stats
Name: Donna
Age: 51
Location: Grand Rapids, MI
Diet: 1200 calories per day plus 300 minutes of exercise per week.
Hurdles to overcome: Trigger foods, staying on track for the long haul
Exercise: Walking on treadmill, Curves
Start date: Feb 14, 2008
Goal: 110 pounds loss
Weight at start: 270 lbs
Weight loss to date: 50 lbs

I plan to weigh in each Monday and let you know how I am doing!

Good luck everyone.

Donna
