Losing weight for Mickey

[Terry36]

Hi all...I am not really a new DIS er, just don't post much, but I need this thread....

Here goes!


HI! I'm Judy ( all > "hi Judy")
Current weight is 261 ( I will weigh in the am and edit if necessary)
Goal is somewhere around 180
15 weeks until my 10th anniversary trip to BWV and I would like to strive for 30 pounds by then.

That would put me as I was in my avatar who thought at the time I would be hoping for 230!!

Hi disneywed...welcome to the thread! good luck on your journey to a healthier you.

GO...GO...GO... You can do it!!!
Welcome and good luck!!!
I was 2lbs shy of my goal weight for our trip...but oh well!!! I had a blast anyway!!! It was our 1st trip and we were running from opening to closing almost everyday!!! It was crazy, but so worth it!!!

Don't get caught up in the numbers game, just how you feel, what you can do, and if you can wear your clothes you like!!!

Have a mgical trip and Good Luck!!!

Thanks Sonnesolsun.
I'm up late tonight and trying not to munch. I've found that drinking water helps.

ok just did one mile on the treadmil...sounds cheesey, except I haven't touched the thing in well over a year, so it was a huge deal for me. Yay me!

Good job Disneywed! Keep it up.

I havnt been on this board in a while but Im despret and need encouragement. I cant seem to stay focused on loosing weight. So my plan is to take baby steps to get started one day at a time. Today my goal is to do floor work out(Lunges,sit ups leg lifts ect) and do 20 min walk either out side or inside. Thanks for letting me vent I will post again tomorrow with an up date and a plan.

Way to go everyone, how great is it to have so much support and encouragement while we are trying to become more healthy! I am down 5 pounds, eventually need to lose 50 more to get to my final goal by next summer. Am on South Beach, any others, PM me!

I am picking up a bicycle today, and plan on riding it daily, as well as doing pilates several times a week.

I am hoping to lose another 20 by our trip, no worries though, if I lose 15 more I will be thrilled (just padding that number as I know I will not be watching my diet as closely while I am with Mickey )

Anyway, keep up the good work all!

Hi girls! Well I have to say I am in the same boat. My first Disney experience was torture and I have to say it was mostly due to my wieght. So I started at 210, and suprisingly have lost 5 pounds rather quickly. What I am doing is cutting out sweets, and all the extra fats.. butter, sour cream.. cheese. I try to eat protien, and a light ammount of cheese. I use one yolk for three eggs. And I have started excersising every day. Whether I do 20 or 30 mins. Whether I walk, or do a video. So my goal is 150, which will look really good on me, since no one can even believe I started at 210. I think my clothes hide alot. But, for my health, for my happiness. I am doing this. I think weigh ins will be on Tuesday the one day of the week I am meeting up with friends to work out. Its just the three of us for now, with only one friend I talk to regularly about this. So here I am, lets see what I can do.
P.S. Second trip Dec 2009 7-15.

hi gang, can I join in? I've got 8lbs I'd like to get rid of, I'm small statured and most ppl give me that "oh as if you need to lose weight" glare, so I've got noone to talk with irl about how I feel. I just feel ugh and don't like it one bit. So, my goal is 2lbs a week and I'd love advice on what I should/shouldn't do to accomplish this. I'm cutting out my soda which was only about 1 a day, but I'm ditchin it. I'm not a big sweet eater, but I like my popcorn at night. I'm amping up my exercise to at least 1/2 hour a day (right now I do nothin, lazy butt I am)...
I seriously want to congratulate all of you for losing any weight at all, it is very difficult!!

Hey guys - just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I have my weight in tomorrow, and I plan to be down to about 143 or so. My ultimate goal is about 120 or so (I'm only 5'1) but I'll see how I feel as I go.
Hope everyone had a great weekend and an even better week!!!

I was down to 165 when I weighed in last, but I'm sure I'm up some since I havent been eating great the past 2 days (Lots going on). So I was down about 45lbs

Well, I've joined this thread before & I'm joining it again! A couple of years ago, I lost 40 lbs. Well, as of today 12 of them are back on me and that's too much to fit in last year's Disney clothes. So, I am on a mission to lose at least that before we go to Disney on Oct 3rd. I would really like to lose more!!!
So here are my stats.

The all time high: 232 in May 07
The low since then: 192 the day before Disney last year, & never since
Currently: 204 as of this morning
Weight at begining of this round of dieting: 209 (started 13 days ago)
Mini-Goals: 195 by the 27th, My B-Day & 180 by Oct. 3, Disney Trip!
Other Goals: To become more phisically fit. In other words, I need to excersise to get rid of the pooch on my belly.

I started walking on Monday, last week & on friday I started a little jogging. I'm trying to do the couch to 5K plan, so it will increase each week. We are kind of doing this as a family, which has been great. DH walks, no jogging. The boys ride bikes, which is good, because DS7 is finally learning to ride w/ no training wheels Okay, obviously we are not a very active family, but we are trying to change our ways & so far, so good.

Wish me luck guys, I'm gonna need it!

Hey all - well I weighted in this morning. I'm down to 141.6 from my last weight in of 149.6. Its a good loss, but not a great one - I was hoping for a little bit more (3 weeks between weight ins). My next weight in is in another 3 weeks - Aug 24th - and my goal is to be down to 139 by then. I know I can do it if I keep up my healthy eating and exercising, though I think I need to do more/different exercises other than just running every morning for 30-40 minutes.

I'm open to any suggestions!!!

 

[SharpMomOfTwo]

Hello? Where has everyone gone? Is everyone busy exercising - I HOPE SO! Anyway, today is Friday - Hope everyone has a great weekend, and try not to over do it!!!

I have now lost 30.6 pounds in 15 weeks. I have 4 more to go to be at my goal weight. Unfortunately it seems the last 5 pounds are going to be my hardest. I know I can do it! Sounds like a lot of you are doing great! Just remember the hardest thing to do is actually get started.

Hi all!

I am back again to lose weight. My last attempt went great and I lost 45 pounds and got very close to my goal weight. But! then I got pregnant! I gained about 35-40 pounds during the pregnancy. It has been 6 weeks since she has been born and I have about 20-25 pounds still left to lose.

So here I go again!

 

[Queenof5]

Same situation...our little girl is 5 weeks, and I am already getting back into it. 7 lbs to go to lose the baby weight, then I want to lose 40 more..so I am excited for this thread!!

Congrats to all of you for doing so well

 

[Dismom55]

OK, now I have about 8 months until our next Disney trip, I am back with my efforts to lose weight. I would be thrilled just to get under the 200 mark. So, I need all the motivation I can get.

Good news is a friend game me a stationary recumbant bike,, doing lots of biking, no weight loss yet, but lots of perspiring going on here.

I am bored to death of healthy recipes that I already have. Any good healthy recipes out there? Please post some ideas.

Thanks.

 

[basketballmom]

congrats on your commitment! we just got back last month from disneyland and i am sad to say i was at my heaviest weight ever, over 200 lbs. i wish you strength and determination and success! i really hated avoiding the camera this trip.

 

[Disneymommy2006]

Well I joined this thread a long time ago...I have lost about 25 pounds doing South Beach Diet. I had lost more but this summer we went on a couple of vacations and I gained about 5 pounds. I still need to lose 40lbs to be at where I want to be. Our next Disney trip is in about 3 months, I am striving to lose 20 lbs by then. I plan to stay on South Beach and add in exercise at least 5x a week. The exercise is what I have not been doing!
