Losing weight for Mickey

[TeamTinkerbell]

Hi everyone - just weighed in for the 2nd time at Weight Watchers and I was down 2.4lbs for a total of 10 pounds!!! I soooo hope that next week I can get out of the 200lbs range! I noticed my top goal weight for my height is 169. I can't see me ever being 169, but I can't reach lifetime without it. They told me that exceptions can be made with a doctor's note but I guess we'll tackle that when it comes.

I now have 2 stars on my bookmark!! yay me!!

And yay to everyone on their progress!!!!

Congratulations!!! You are well on your way!

I played tennis last night - it was sooooo much fun. There were about 20 of us (and two guys) - I was the best there by far, but that was OK, it was just for fun. Though I did feel kinda bad - some of the women were pretty old, and here I am slamming returns back to them.... I tried to slow the pace of the ball, but when I do that, I loose accuracy - whatever, it was so much fun! I'm pretty sore this morning though, I guess tennis uses muscles that jogging doesn't! Well, at least I found a group to play with every Tuesday till it gets to cold to play - then maybe we can find an indoor team!

Way to go!

I wish I could run/jog. But between my gigantic rack and bad knees, it's a dream, at best. The most I manage is a brisk stroll.

"Gigantic rack?" hee hee!

I worked at a health club one summer, and you's be surprised how often we heard this. Our personal trainers always had some good ideas to get people started -- stationary bike, elliptical machines, swimming. Bad knees are the worst, but you may have some options that don't cause you pain.

Good luck, and yes we can do this! Do it for Mickey!

 

[Dismom55]

My knees do give me fits and of course my really terrible back, regular stationary bike is not for me, but I have a recumbant bike and it is even kind to my knees. If you have never tried one, you might like to try for those who have pain issues with knees or back.

Start weight: 210lbs (July 7th, 2008)
Current weight: 202lbs
Goal weight by Disney (Feb): 185lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 165lbs

I've been faithfully doing Wii Fit for a minimum of 30 minutes per day, 4 days per week and it's working! My muscles are feeling stronger and I'm feeling better. I can't wait to break the 200lbs mark.

I had to weigh in 2 days early this week because DH and I are going to Atlantic City, and I know we will be hitting the buffets! So in the 5 days, I lost over 3 pounds! I've hit my 60lbs mark - I'm really happy with that! I just hope I don't gain it all back with one buffet! Hope everyone else has a great weekend!

I have been loosing a pound to 2 pounds a week after my fast pace start of 30lbs in a month and a half. I am feeling much better and cant wait to get to Disney in 20 days. Keep it up everyone and I just love reading all the posts yall inspire me.

 

[Dismom55]

You are doing great, 2 lbs a week is a good way to keep it off. Have lots of fun and keep eating healthy.

Can I join in? I am planning on joining a gym at the beginning of September when both kids will be in school. Well DS will be for 2.5 hours, enough to go work out. I would like to lose about 25-30 before our January trip in 4 months! I would love to be able to have somewhere to come and brag or pout if I need to. I want to be able to walk around WDW without getting tired and I also want to look back at my pictures and not cringe.

 

[Wilsonfamily4]

Ok, my question is for everyone, how do you spend your time that you use to snack or eat all those things we should not??
So how do you do it?

I chew gum. Sometimes I just need to feel like I am chewing something. I also air pop popcorn when I HAVE to have something.

Can I join this thread? I lost 35 lbs 2 years ago and gained it all back. My only saving grace is that I was working out for a year so my clothes aren't the same size as they used to be. But I used to be a reg size 16, now I'm a plus 16/18. Don't want to be there anymore. So, I'm starting out at 214 lbs and would love to get back down to my 175. That's a realistic goal for me. I need to get back into the exercising habit. Don't want chub rub the next time I'm at Disney! Thanks for inspiring me ladies and gents

 

[Dismom55]

Oh my, I guess I was rude, I did not ask permission to join in, just jumped right in, sorry hope no one minded.

If you don't mind I will answer the question tho, first off I scrapbook my disney trips instead of snacking, second I spend time on the computer in Disney chat groups, last I do a little more exercising or spending time with my family NOT eating, do things together.

I just found this thread. I've been loosing weight for Mickey on my own, but what a better way to do! I started in May so I'll list that as my starting date:
Start Weight: 155 (BMI 25)
Current Weight (4 days ago): 144 (BMI 23.2)
Goal: 135 (BMI 21.8)
Current Diet: Low Carb
Current Exercise: Curves 3-5 30 minute workouts per week

At first, I tried Nutrisystem - didn't work. Then just low fat/low calorie - weight was coming off slooooowly. Finally I decided to try low carb and that is the trick. Several years ago I lost 25 pounds in 3 months by doing Curves and Low Carb and kept it off for 2 years until getting prego with DS. I hope to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight but don't know if it will be happening before we go to Disney. I will have to loose 2 pounds per week if I want to achieve 135 before going. I know that is doable ONLY if I stick with my routine. It is very difficult when everyone else in my house can eat what ever and as much as they want and not gain weight. Plus, t hose last 10 pounds are SO hard. Monday, I'll weigh again at Curves and hopefully be down a couple of more pounds.

I wish you well on your goal, just remember the weight will come back if you are eating in a fashion that you can not sustain. That does not mean you will never be able to have treats, just have to be picky when you do have them. I like to think of my weight loss efforts as a healthy eating plan, not a diet. Diet means I will stop when I reach my goal, healthy eating plan to me means this is the way I choose to eat the rest of my life.

Good luck, you are doing great.

Just want to share that yesterday I attained my Disney Goal! I'm now in the 140s, although barely, but that was my goal for Disney. My ultimate goal is 140, so I'm feeling much better about it! Thanks for letting me rejoice! 27 pounds lost....

Going to Disney very soon! See ticker!

 

[momma of 2]
