Losing weight for Mickey

[ImaDVCwannabe]

Hi all,

Its been a few weeks since I posted. Last time I reported that I was down 3 more pounds bringing my total weight loss to 5 pounds. Well for the past week I have been fighting the the stomach bug and my diet of bananas and toast has brought me down another 10 pounds!!! Not really the way I would prefer to lose the weight but hey I'll take it.

Today's weight 185...40 more to go!!!

Congrats to everyone that lost weight, you're all doing awesome

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!

Darn me for not paying attention. LOL.


I've not been on the scale in a few days simply because I've been sick and waiting for it to be over. i think in a few days I will get back on and see what it says...probably not good. I've been downing tons of OJ which is high in sugar.

Woo-Hoo! I weighed in yesterday and lost another 2 pounds for a total of 21 pounds! I've decided that for every 20 pounds I lose, I am going to treat myself to a Jim Shore Disney figurine. My first one purchased (yesterday) was Goofy, of course!

Congratulations on your losses everyone! We can do this because we're worth it!

I am down to 179! My beginning weight was guestimated at 190 (which was what I was at around March) so that's 11 lbs in about 2 months! Lots more to go but I finally feel like I'm on the right track!

Not sure when I was here last...but I am down now to 153. My goal is 145. Doubt that I will make my deadline of May 31, as I stalled out at 155 for a loooooong time, but at least I am descending again!!! AND I fit into a two piece once again and my "skinny" pants, so who's complaining!!!

Keep up the hard work ladies!!! Every pound counts!!!

Hi All
I started loosing weight for Mickey back last November. We recently went on our cruise, a 4 dayer back in March. I have lost about 40lbs so far I do WW online and work out at Bally's about 4 days a week. I won 3 free sessions with a personal trainer and finished those last week.
We are going on our bounceback cruise November 19-22nd. We are arriving at the Pop on November 16th and going to the MVMCP. I want to loose atleast another 25lbs by November.
I belong to a WW support group on Myspace and am always looking for new buddies

We are going to WDW in December, and I would love some support. I have been "dieting" since I was 5 years old, even though I can't find any picture of me until high school that I was even slightly chubby in. My whole family is a big psychological mess when it comes to weight. Anyway, hoping to tackle this once and for all, and just raise my girls in a healthy lifestyle without having to talk about calories and fat at every meal (like I did).

So, here's the story... was on a great track losing weight almost 5 years ago, had a delayed (by 4 years) honeymoon in the Bahamas, got prego w/dd#1, got preggo w/dd#2, started losing, got depressed, started gaining...end result...

Name: Michele
Age: 32
Location: PA
Type of diet: WW points using Biggest Loser diet as guide
Excercise: Walking, workout DVDs, elliptical machine
Start date of diet: 5/19
Goal: under 200 for WDW, final goal 150
Weight at start of diet: 265
Weight loss to date: 0

I went to the store today to get started with some healthy foods for recipes I found online, but if anyone has a real favorite recipe to share I would love to try it! I get bored after a few weeks on a diet and that is mainly my problem.

I went walking for the first time this morning with my 2 dds, we are going to do this every morning that dh goes to work, probably until November when it will be too cold for the girls. I have an elliptical machine that is buried in a mess in a spare room, so hopefully one of these days I will be motivated enough to want to exercise to clean the room

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well on your weight loss. I just found this thread and started watching what I'm eating and exercising 6 days ago.
Name: Linda
Age: 46
Location: NJ
Type of diet: low carb, cutting down on the snacking, more fruits & veggies and fiber
Exercise: Walking, exercise shows & dvds
Goal: I'm trying to start with shorter term goals so I don't feel defeated when the real weight I'd like to be is out of reach. I'd like to be under 200lbs and then fit into my shorts I bought for a trip and never fit into, they are 2 sizes smaller than what I am now.
Weight at start 217 lbs

I finally got back on track with working out and keeping track of my points through Weight Watchers. I lost 3.7 pounds this week!

 

[Dismom55]

I joined a challenge on Sparkpeople where we are all trying to lose 25 lbs by Labor Day, which is perfect for me since our next Disney trip is in September.

Good luck to all those trying to lose weight, exercise and making sure you are eating healthy is the best.

We went to my Grandmas in Spokane, Wa. for mothers day weekend & I was naughty, so am back up to 241, will have to get back on track this week & going forward.

this past thursday I weighed myself and I lost 3.7 pounds over the past week. I felt I was doing really well and got up today and weighed myself. I gained 2.7 back since Thursday. I've been doing really well with things other than eating a small snack before bed but it's been fruit or a salad. I hope by this coming Thursday I can get off the 2.7 I gained back.

Howdy everyone!

Well, I missed making my 10% goal by a mere 0.6 pounds! But I'm still happy I dropped 1.4 pounds this week, making a total of 22 pounds! I am hoping to make ONEderland by July.

I finally received my Jim Shore Goofy figurine as my first reward for dropping 20 pounds and I am officially hooked! Now I only need about 24 more to completely my collection. Only problem is, I'd need to lose 480 more pounds to buy them all! Maybe I should buy one for every 2 pounds I lose. . .

Have a great Memorial Day everyone and a wonderful week!

So this was my first week and I am down 9lbs! I am so excited! I know this is mostly the water weight you lose in the beginning, so I don't expect to keep up this pace, but it is still encouraging!

I am finding a love for oven roasted veggies, and so easy! I just clean and lay out whatever I want (so far green beans and asparagus) on a rimmed baking sheet, spray with oil, add sea salt and cracked pepper, and stick under the broiler until done, giving them a shake once or twice during cooking.

They are good as a hot side with dinner, or cold in a salad, or cold as a snack...

 

[Dismom55]

9 lbs, wow that is great. Congrats!

I finally lost 3 lbs last week after months of staying the same. Hopefully I am on my way down again.

 

[61292cna]

Finally back on track & back down to 240!!!

Congratulations on your losses ladies!

Michelle, that oven-roasted veggie recipe sounds delicious! Here is a recipe for brownies from an email I got today from the Weight Watchers newsletter. 3 points per brownie (makes 24) and it uses black beans in the recipe! But you can't taste them. They make the brownies moire moist:

2 spray(s) cooking spray, flour-variety recommended
1/2 cup(s) canned black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup(s) black coffee, strong
1/2 cup(s) unsalted butter
4 oz bittersweet chocolate
4 large egg(s)
1 1/4 cup(s) sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp table salt
1 cup(s) all-purpose flour
--------------------------------
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Coat a 9- X 13-inch pan with cooking spray; line with aluminum foil and coat foil with cooking spray.

In a blender or mini food processor, process beans with coffee until smooth; set aside.

In a double boiler over very low heat, melt butter and chocolate.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. With mixer on low speed, add melted chocolate to eggs; incorporate well. Add black bean mixture, vanilla and salt; mix well. Add flour; combine thoroughly on low speed.

Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a tester inserted in center of brownies comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove pan to a cooling rack. After 10 minutes, remove brownies from pan by pulling up on foil and placing brownies on cooling rack to cool more. Cut into 24 pieces and serve. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Hope you enjoy!

Thought I'd post one more delicious receipe. My sister, who is also on Weight Watchers, came up with this recipe for Pita Pizza! I've made it several times and it is absolutely delicious!

2 whole-wheat pitas
1/4 cup pasta sauce (I use Hunt's Four-Cheese pasta sauce)
2 tbsp black olives
1/2 cup mozzarella
1 tsp olive oil
17 Hormel turkey pepperoni (60% less fat than regular peppperoni)
1 tbsp Parmesan cheese

Rub olive oil into the top of each pita. Add sauce, cheese, pepperoni, olives & Parmesan. Bake at 425 degrees for 7-12 minutes (oven times vary). Makes 2 pizzas


And here is the recipe for just one pizza:

1 whole-wheat pita
1/8 cup pasta sauce
1 tbsp black olives
¼ cup mozzarella
½ tsp olive oil
8 turkey pepperoni
1 tsp Parmesan cheese


Enjoy!
