Losing weight for Mickey

[momto2greatkids]

We started planning our trip last year which is when I also started to lose weight. To date, I have lost 60 lbs. My goal is to lose another 20 lbs in the next five weeks. WISH ME LUCK!!

Congrats!! That's wonderful!

Woo-Hoo! I weighed in at WW yesterday and I am down 2.6 more pounds for a total of 16.6 pounds in 5 weeks! I am so excited! I've been really following the Momentum plan and exercising 5 days a week. I've also really toned down my sugar intake - I think that has helped significantly.

To all of you just joining our thread, !!! This is a fun and supportive thread and I hope each of you will find encouragement, support and even a few laughs here. I love this thread!

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Start weight: 210lbs (7/7/08)
Current weight: 179lbs
Surgery goal weight: 179lbs (4/28/09)
Disney goal weight: 170lbs (8/3/09)
Ultimate goal weight range: 160 - 165 pounds

Well, I went into surgery at 181lbs (just shy of my goal) and am now 6 days post op. I'm sitting at 179lbs right now and still have a quite a bit of swelling going on, so drinking lots of water and making sure I have a healthy diet going on.

I know most of the swelling doesn't disappear for 3 - 4 weeks, so patience is the key here.

Surgery went great though, my breasts went from a 34I down to what's looking like a perfect 34D and they took 1500 grams (apparently that's on the low end, so that made me happy ) off my stomach and put all my muscles back into place. I had no idea just how bad my ab muscles were, but the surgeon said they did extensive muscle repair and that I will feel it for quite awhile.

Welcome! I'm not a terrible cook, but I am a busy person and it is a very rare day that I have time to cook. I subscribe to e-mealz. They have a Weight Watchers menu & grocery list that is soooooo easy & quick & useful. I've been using them now for 2 years. It costs $15.00 for 3 months and for me it is worth the money many times over.

Seriously, sometimes one night says: "Healthy Choice Panini, Grapes."

And even when there is cooking the directions are only 2-3 lines long. And for 7 meals for a family of 6 is $70-80 per week.

Hope this helps you as much as it has me.

We are going at the exact same time, and your goal weight is 5lbs better than mine (140). Good luck!!!!

Hello all -

My family and I are going to Disney 12/9-12/16 this year, and I have decided that I do not want to be wider than Mickey Mouse on our trip! I was thinking that we could have a support group for thoes of us that are on diets. We can tell eachother what kind of diet we are on, excercise that were doing, and how its working for us. Let us know of great recepies from the diet your on! We can keep eachother going when we come face to face with a piece of chocolate cake that just seems to be screaming our name!

I'll start:

We can post our achievments weekley from the day that you started your diet - i.e. I started on Tuesday for the new year, so I'll post again every Tuesday.


GOOD LUCK ALL!

I weighed in this morning and I am down to 214.4, which is down another 2.4 for a total loss of 19 pounds! I'm so excited - I'm starting to fit into clothes I couldn't wear for a while and I'm motivated! I am so looking forward to making my 10% goal, which is 4 pounds away and then making it back into ONEderland (below 200 pounds)!

Keep up the great work everyone!

Hi - Would it be okay if I joined in? We are going Sept. 26th - Oct.2nd and I need to lose a lot of weight. I would greatly appreciate the support.

No no, I started this thread on Jan 1st of 2008 - I already went!!! But hope you have a great time. I don't know when we will be going back again - maybe not for another 3-5 years.... makes me sad - I'd go right now if I could. I actually tried to get DH to change our summer vacation to Disney, but he wouldn't go for it - hes so rigid!!! Oh well, have a great time!

Absolutely! to our lovely thread! It has so helped me to have support along my weight loss journey. It is just too difficult (and darn near impossible) to do this alone.

I wish you great success in your journey!

YEAH!!! I estimated my weight at 190 but just got on the scale and am actually 182! Makes me so happy I have been strictly counting my WW points and my ankle is almost healed so will be back to walking 4 miles/day. Hoping it will start falling off!

I'm sick and tired of not fitting into any clothes in the juniors section, so I am going to try my very hardest to get to a healthy weight. I am 5"5, and I am tired of having to buy jeans that are too long, and to big in the waist. because those are the only ones that fit my hips, and thighs. My family and I are going 11/26/09 I am very excoted but I dont want to be worried about my weight the whole time I'm there.

I got on the scale this morning and I have now lost 5.5 lbs! I still can't fit into most of my clothes (stupid baby fat! - wait, not that the baby is stupid, just my fat from the baby! ) but I am getting there!
