Losing weight for Mickey

[Dismom55]

That recipe sounds great, also would be great for slumber parties if you have kids still in the slumber party stage.

I think I am going to have to give it a try this week end.

Do you know what the calorie count is? If not don't worry I can go to sparkpeople and figure it out.

 

[GoofyBaby]

I don't know the actual calorie count, but I do know that it is 7 WW points per pizza. 1 WW point equals approximately 50 calories, so it is around 350 calories for each pizza. . .not sure about the fat content, though.

You should try them! The pita gets crispy in the oven, so it's like having a double thin-crust pizza. I love it!

I wanted to add that I have been using tap and track for my iPhone and iPod and it is a fantastic app. It has been very helpful.

Hey all - OP here. I just wanted to say that I ran in my first 5K this morning. It was tough since I hadn't ran in about 2+ weeks (family issues, etc) but I did it. I had to walk a bit of it, but finished strong, and finished at the same time that I do at home running the entire time.

This thread has been very quiet - I hope we are all to busy exercising to type!!

Anyway, I have GREAT news - Were going back to Disney!!!!! My parents are renting a house just 3 miles outside of Disney for 12/27 - 1/3 (I'm not so happy about going in cold and flu season, but anyway....). This gives me 28 weeks to lose 25-30 pounds. I have a goal weight of at least 125 and I've already made a dent in that, so I'm on my way! I'm just so happy to have a big goal to work towards - I think it really helps me be more focused.

I've been running every day - always before work 2 miles, and sometimes after work as well. I'm sticking to a low cal healthy diet, but I really need to get off the processed foods like canned soup, and Smart Ones frozen meals.

Anyway, I really hope you guys will help me along, and join me! Lets see how much we can lose this summer!!!!

Hello ...

I'm jumping in at this late date as an attempt to make myself a little more accountable in working toward my goals. In general, I want to lose some weight and get more fit so I feel better. I also hope to be thinner before the trip we hope to take to WDW in early November.

Name: Amy Age: 41 Location: IL

Type of diet: Burning More Calories Than I take in and add a few more veggies & fruits to my diet just because it's healthier
Excercise: Walking .... work w/ show horses/around the barn ... light weight lifting

Start date of diet: 6/6/08
Goal: Approximately 30 lbs
Weight at start of diet: yeah ... I can't quite put that out there in public. Let's just say I can't believe I got to that point!

Weight loss to date: 4 lbs

Good luck to everyone!

After reading for months how everyone is doing so great with losing weight, I finally can post I have managed to lose 7lbs in the past 4 weeks. I find I have more trouble with not eating enough. I guess after 30+ years of trying to starve myself and still not lose, well I am having trouble keeping those cals above 1,000 per day, but doing much better about that. So the scales have finally started moving in the right directions.

I also have a pedometer that I decided to start actually using and I keep reading that your goals should be 10,000 steps per day. I have only been able to meet that once, but have done much more walking since wearing the pedometer. Good tool for me. Besides, all this walking is getting me ready for all the walking I will be doing when at WDW!

Just thought I would share what has been making the difference for me.

I just started back at Weight Watchers yesterday. I love the support threads on here...definately gives accountability!

Here we go:

Name: Stacy
Age: 33
Location: MA
Type of diet: Weight Watchers
Excercise: Limited due to ankle injury in 12/08, working my way back with PT
Start date of diet: 6/13/09
Goal: first goal 10 lbs. Final goal 70 lbs.
Weight loss to date: 0

I'm going to disney for my birthday in October. I would love to run/walk in TOT 5k, but it all depends on my ankle. But I am shooting for this event, unless dr tells me otherwise!

 

[GoofyBaby]

Well, darn it, I fell off the wagon two weeks ago when I was on vacation (not to Disney ), so I am posting here to get myself accountable again. I've gained about 5 pounds back, so I am starting fresh in the morning with a one-day juice fast. . .then back to healthy eating!

I'm right there with ya, girlfriend! <------ this says "yay" but looks like the jumping jacks I need to be doing regularly!

To get myself motivated again I'm going to set this up right.

Name: Tracey
Age: 38 (39 in August)
Location: MA
Type of diet: My own plan-salads, count calories, water, etc.
Exercise: walking, elliptical, Wii, Wii Fit, EA Sports Active
Start of diet: Part 1 was 12/25/08 lost 26 as of today(back and forth between 25 and 30) Part 2: June 15, 2009
Goal: 150
Weight start of diet: Part 1- 200 Part 2- 174
Weight loss so far: Part 1- 26 Part 2- TBD

Hope to start again tomorrow! Stress and other issues hopefully won't get in my way. I hope to be at 150 by my birthday on August 13th! I was able to lose 30 for our trip in April and have been back and forth between 25 and 30 pound weight loss since then. Went from size 16 to some 10s, some 12s. The way I motivate myself is to find a pair of pants that don't fit and try them on everyday. This has helped me. I just got a bunch of clothes from my mother that she can't wear right now though she is 10 pounds behind me.

Good luck everyone! I have been stuck for 2 months so hope to jump start again tomorrow!

Trying not to obsessively weigh myself daily. Have done okay getting started w/ exercising again. Have started both walking and some minor weight lifting. My activity level has increased over the last couple of weeks because it is horse show season so I'm on the go a little more around the barn in addition to the planned exercise. I **THINK** I've managed to keep my calories between 600-900 LOWER than what I estimate I burned most days. Only had one day in the last week that I missed on but I think I was still just under. Hopefully most of my calculations are fairly accurate so that my weigh-in is good.

Tomorrow is my day to check the scale. Am a bit anxious. I seem to have better luck sticking to these things when I see some actual results.

Good luck to everyone.

Tigger 813...
Good luck getting back on track. It's great you've been mostly able to maintain what you lost before.

Dismom55...
Thanks for the pedometer info and # of steps. Good job on those 7 lbs.

I'm so encouraged to read about everybody's weight loss. It sounds like everybody is on the right track.
I haven't posted since the begining of May. I'm down 10.5 lbs now. (Quite thrilled to get into the next size down)
WeightWatchers is a winner for me. I can stick to it since there are no taboo foods.
Best wishes for everybody We can do it

Start date of diet: 6/6/08
Goal: Approximately 30 lbs


So my results this a.m. were mixed. Overall, I am down 6 & 1/2 pounds. I know that's pretty good so far. However, I am a touch disappointed because I was hoping to be down a full 7 lbs. On the plus side, I am a little more motivated today!

I guess some of this is about losing weight for our 15th Anniversary trip to Disney next June, but some of it is about getting healthy as well. I have been attending the gym since January and have lost close to 30 pounds but I would like to lose another 50 or so and I'm losing my willpower bigtime. I think that's why I'm so happy to find this thread. There are more people who are working toward what I am. No one at my gym seems to struggle with this and I live with a man who lost 124 pounds so at my home, there are no excuses.

So here's my new plan:

Name: Margee
Age: 34
Diet Plan: a modified Weight Watchers plan
Exercise Plan: 30-60 minutes of run/walk and weight lifting at the gym 6 days a week
Goal Weight: 130 since I am five foot 2
Currrent Weight: 200 (I started at 230)

BTW, I didn't read back that far but wondered if anyone had talked about Gina's Weight Watcher's Recipes? It's a really great site for healthy recipes, whether you are counting points or not.

 

[aspcamhreditor2]

Margee....

I am in your corner! I hope to see you here and doing well. Your story is similar to mine. I am concerned about it getting harder once I lose a few more pounds! So, I'm rooting for you! We are going to Disney this fall, but I hope my husband and I can find a way to get back to FL in late December or early January to celebrate our 15th anniversary!

 

[mickeyluvr004]

Hi All total newbie here I was reading some of all your posts and this is a great site I also want to lose weight before my Sept visit, I have been walking 2 miles a day (well ok I stopped for a week or 2) need to start back and my biggest issue on my body is that AWEFUL Muffintop (big roll of fat dead center of the body) How in the world do you make that thing go away farrrrr away and never come back????? I am limited in alot of activity I have a ruptured disk in my neck and another disk ready to burst so I can't do the normal sit ups ect.. Any suggestions please I have tried WW, Atkins, just watching what i eat but get bored real fast and the weight doesn't come off fast enough for me I know it won't but wishing it would Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks Deb

 

[Drewsmommybear]

I'm in your corner too, Amy! It gets harder and harder when you have more weight to lose. Keep working at it though. I think your plan of eating less and working out moreis a really good one. It's nice to know that I'm not the only person who is fighting to lose weight!

Keep up the hard work and maybe you can talk your husband into a 15th Anniversary Disney Trip as a reward.
