Losing weight for Mickey

[ilandrazdsw]

Hey all - I'm so glad to see we are all doing so well and keeping ourselves in check!!! Yay us!!!!
We're just 4 days away from our Disney vacation, and I'm getting so excited!!!! As of this morning, I am at my lowest weight ever - 153.6. However, the fact that we are going to Disney soon, and the fact that we are on the dining plan means that I will probally put on a few pounds... not happy about that, but hey - its Disney!!!
Unfortunatly, our hotel (POFQ) does not have a gym, but there is a path around the lake that I could jog if I really want to, and besides the fact - there is so much walking done in Disney as is!!!
Anyway, hope everyone has a great weekend, and keep on truckin!!!!

Congratulations!! Awesome job

Remember just because you order dessert and it is served to you doesn't mean that you have to eat ALL of it ummm...how many calories does resisting temptation burn???

Totally true - and another good trick is to eat what you want, then have the waiter come and take it right away so you don't eat more than you should.

Finally broke 199 and then made Christmas cookies, chocolate dipped pretzles, and rice krispie treats (for presents)...need I say more Don't wanna get on the scale in the morning . Plus I am sick so not in the mood to exercise...then again I'm not in the mood when I am healthy

 

[ilandrazdsw]

Sorry Double Post

 

[ilandrazdsw]

I broke the 199 again...up to 200 UGH!!! I know I did it to myself. I am, sick and comfort foods...well, comfort . THEN I go and take my kids out for dinner last night...sick= not cooking (and DH is out to sea working ). Today I took my DS out again for a mommy & DJ lunch, since my parents had my DD. Tonight I had a square of Oreo cheesecake for dinner...guess it is better than eating a whole dinner AND the cheesecake . Well, all the Christmas goodies have been handed out so there goes that temptation ...now all I need is to feel better and have my DH home (maybe this weekend?).

OK ladies... all I've posted on here is my "stats", but now it's time to get serious.
I went to the doctor today, and the results are in... my cholesterol is... wait for it... 235
I too like ilandrazdsws said have had a nasty cold, and want nothing but comfy foods which are bad!!! Hopefully I will start getting back to normal and then I can lose this weight. My dr said he wants to see about 15lbs gone by the end of Feb when I come back. He'd rather me lose it slow then fast b/c it's easier to keep off. His diet he gave me was if it's quick and convienient don't eat it, if you have to take time to prepare and cook it, it's fine. If it's prepackaged don't eat it. If it is white (ie bread, potatoes) don't eat it... ugh... diets stink, but the ending results will be well worth it!!!

Count me in! I've been dieting since 11/14 and have lost a total of 10 pounds so far. Goal is to lose 30 more by 4/30/09. I've cut back my intake and started swimming on a regular basis. My accountability is a weekly email to my sister with my weight.

Thanks for the thread.

Best of luck to all,
Sarah

Start weight: 210lbs (July 7th, 2008)
Current weight: 187lbs
Goal weight by Disney (Feb): 185lbs
Ultimate goal weight: 165lbs

Still sticking with WW/Nutri-system plan and it's going fantastic... I'm only 2lbs away from my Disney goal!

Really hoping I can make it through this Christmas season with no weight gain... heading home tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I just got the word from "Santa" that my DS's will be getting a WDW vacation for Christmas this year. My biggest problem will be my weakness for Dr. Pepper. I can easily drink 4 to 6- 20 ounces bottles in a day. Also, we have been eating out most night at fast food junk type places. The plan is to drink more water and work myself down to only 1- 8 ounce Dr. Pepper glass at dinner. I tried going cold turkey from Dr. Pepper and ended up with a massive headache. Also, I have started cooking again and eating smaller portions. I am going to start walking every morning after I drop my DS off at school. Also, I just noticed that we have a fit tv on our cable, so I am going to find a show and work out to it. I don't have any specific amount that I want to loose. I just want to get as fit as I can before our May trip for the long days of walking at WDW.

down 90lbs since March. Started at 250 and finally hit 160 today.
Hoping to get to 145 by my trip in Feb!
DH said I looked happier than I have in the past 10 years I have been heavy. I gotta admit, my 'prissiness' is coming back
Getting tired of the dieting, but I have come this far... gonna get that goal one way or another.

WOW...good for you!!!! Keep up the good work, you're a whole new person!!

Happy to say I didn't gain AT ALL the whole week on vacation last week, phew!! But I will admit...I ate cheesecake most of the week! Shh....guess all the walking really pays off!! Happy Holidays!!

 

[LovinPooh]

Thanks! The not having constant heartburn is so wonderful. I dont spend a fortune on Rolaids anymore.

DH asked me if I was going to 'pour it on' at WDW. I was like, of course! I agree all the walking that you do there.... really pays off. Besides, I am going on vacation. After almost a year of being 'good', I am going to be very very naughty!
now if I could get my mother not to make me any fudge for xmas.....

Happy Holidays!

Congrats on your weightloss! I started 11/14 and am down 12.2lbs so far. Doing this for my health but my trip to Disney in May is an inspiration. Don't have any photos of myself from our last trip and my DS6 mentioned this when we were going through the photos recently.

Good luck to everyone during the holidays.

 

[LovinPooh]

I have no photos from our last trip either. Well, hardly any photos of me at all around. Seeing what I looked like, was just the worst. I avoided all mirrors and cameras. I cant wait to go back to Disney and have pics taken with my kids. When started planning back in March for this trip, I knew I had to do something. Instead of always being the one behind the camera, or off to the side. Watch out photopass people

Congrats on your 12.2lbs. Thats great! Especially at the holidays lol

Good luck to everyone

Thanks, LovinPooh. I didn't want to put it off until after the New Year because I was afraid of the excuses that I would come up with...

Watch out photopass people

Too funny! I love photography and I NEVER let my husband touch my camera but maybe I'll have to buy him a little one-touch so he can take some pictures of DS and the new & improved me.

I wish you the best!!!
