Losing weight for Mickey

[NOLAdisneymom]

Hi Disneymike! I'm also using myfitness pal, I've lost 10 lbs in the last 5 weeks, so I'm pretty much on track. My goal is a 50lb loss.

Good luck!

I FEEL healthy - but i sure would like some nice family pictures with me included - instead of always volunteering to take the picture!

My husband has lost 75+ lbs over the past year by eating well & exercise...me, on the other hand, is holding this extra 25 lbs steady. Our 1st WDW family vacay was in June, and while I love the pics of DH & kids -- the pics of me just look blah. I just look unhealthy and it shows. I'm graduating college in May and hoping I can pull off another WDW vacation but I'd LOVE to have lost 26 lbs by then. Fast-food is my downfall and with a bad gallbladder, that's no good at all. I have been eating more fruits & veggies, drinking more water and watching my fat gram intake. Drinking water is the hardest one for me I think.

Name: Ashley
Age: 34
Location: Near Nashville, TN
Type of diet: low calorie diet
Start date of diet: August 11, 2011
Goal: size 8
Goal weight: 130 lbs
Weight at start of diet: 156 lbs
Weight loss to date: zero

Thinking of starting a food log to help me "see" what I'm eating/drinking. It's been great reading everyone's posts, gives me motivation!

Hi guys! Good luck to both of y'all!!

Ashlye, I'm using myfitnesspal online and on my phone, you put your food in, and it tells you what percent of fats, grains, etc you are using, in addition to calorie counting... It's a really neat site.

I love the use of the websites (myfitnesspal, livestrong etc.) they are so helpful. Never realized exactly how many calories I would intake. I have dieted before and lost 75 but gained 40 back. I have started several times but would stop because it would irritate my wife at how fast and easy I could lose the weight. But she said its ok as it will help her and we are doing it for Mickey

I have never been to Disney, and will be spending one day at MK in early November. I'm terrified of trying to ride anything because of my size. Any loss would make me feel better, but considering it is 90 days out, I'm not holding out for much.

I just joined myfitnesspal.com, and hope to really get a groove on. I have needed motivation for a while now. Hopefully this will help me to focus!

Hi NOLAdisneymom, congrats on your 10 lost keep it up.

AmandaRG, the myfitnesspal is great. Stick with it and you'll be suprised what 3 months can bring.

I have lost 32 pounds since January on weight watchers online. I am hoping to loose 3 more pounds before our trip in September as my next mini goal. After that I have another 20 to go.

 

[DisneyMike78]

I would love to swap names but I am on livestrong :-(.
Tarabelle way to go on the 32. I hope I can get to mine

I'm using Xenical from www.generic-meds-store.com for half an year and lost 20 kg so far
I'm so proud of myself

 

[DisneyMike78]

I'm super excited, I am down 10lbs. using the online websites for tracking food intake and exercise is a really great tool. I am now on fitness pal and its easier to use, specially with the app for my smartphone. Now I just have to keep it going.

 

[EvieBug]

Oooh, I will have to watch this thread! I'm also on My Fitness Pal and am down about 3 pounds so far -- but now that our reservations are made I'm ready to kick it into gear and drop some more before our trip!

I have about 55 days to do it!

 

[DisneyMike78]

You can do it Eviebug. Just stay strong and stick with it (says the guy who went 400cals over his food intake yesterdaay)

I feel your pain. The buffet at Sicily's got me Wednesday night.

Just jumping back on the bandwagon tho! 15 lbs gone as of today!

 

[judypriv]

Good job, everyone. so far 9 for me and 14 for Hubby. He hit our first goal of 10 lbs. and I am next. After that's it's 10 %, 19 for me and 24 for him. Then it's 25 for me by Disney and 35 for him.

Hey one cheat meal wont hurt us once in a while, right . I try and give myself one cheat snack and one meal a week never on the same day or back to back days.

As of this morning I am down 10 after only doing it for 11days. I know its not healthy but I can't help it.

Hello there!

We are going to WDW Nov. 3-12, staying at CSR and I've set a goal of losing 25 lbs before we leave.

I started on July 7th and have lost 17 lbs to date. I feel like I'm off to a great start but that's never my problem...it's sticking with it!
