Losing weight for Mickey

[TeamTinkerbell]

I think I posted recently, but here's my issue. I have about 30 pounds to start off with, with a total goal of about 35-40 pounds. I rarely get the opportunity to walk or do much of anything else with my DD in 3 sports and 3 (yes 3) basketball teams this past season. She's getting great exercise and I'm just running everywhere with her and eating horrible food b/c that's what is quick and easy. I enjoy being with her and seeing her play, but my body is not so happy. So, I've started by cutting down to two pops a day and drinking a lot of water. I also have forced myself not to eat breakfast until I feel hungry. If I eat before I leave home, I am hungry by 9:30, so I just don't eat until I feel the need.

I also don't go to lunch at my regular lunch time anymore, which was 11:30 whether I was hungry or not. I go when I feel hungry. My employer requires me to go before 2:00 p.m. and I'm usually hungry by then. I feel that these little changes will help, but I've got to figure out a way to get my butt walking.

I am doing my fitness pal and counting my calories, sodium and sugar. i am joined the gym and am doing zumba and cardio as well as lifting. I am down 9 lbs. in 3 months which is very slow BUT I have lost over 20 inches which apparently is considered excellent. So here we go:

Thought I would join in here! Our next trip is right after my 30th birthday so I set it as my goal. I started on January 1st, cliche I know, but had lost around 23 pounds as of a couple of weeks ago. I fell off the wagon a little and have probably gained back a few pounds. Today I'm restarting so it's perfect that I found this! Here's my info -

I'm in! I started using MyFitnessPal this year, and it has helped me tremendously. I am stacy347 on there if anyone wants to add me. I have to watch my calories very carefully, because I can't do any high-impact exercise due to severe Fibromyalgia and Degenerative Disc Disease. My daughter bought me a mini trampoline for Christmas and it is perfect! I still can't do it everyday, but I am getting at least 3-4 days of exercise/week now.
Hoping to hit my goal weight before we head to FL in June.

Just saw this thread, wanted to say what a great job you're all doing!! Thanks for sharing.

I started trying to lose 40lbs by our trip at the end of July. I started 5 weeks ago, so that gave me 20 weeks or 2lbs/week. To date, I've lost 15 lbs using nothing but myfitnesspal to count calories and doing some walking.

I survived Easter weekend without gaining back anything. I've been eating a lot of Healthy Choice meals for dinner since I eat dinner at work M-F.

I want to lose weight for MICKEY!!! We will celebrating the holidays with Mickey and the gang so I have to look my best.


We got this TEAM MICKEY!!! LET'S DO THIS. We can get this thread going again. Do you all want to weigh in days? And maybe we can go a celebration every month. The one to lose the most will receive a small disney treat. How does that sound.
