Losing weight for Mickey

[diamondpixienc]

42lbs total lost as of this morning. But as I write this I just had an oatmeal pie and man it was good! Must stay out of the kids lunch stockpile. I'm just glad I can only eat one and get back on track though. BTW I have an evening walk planned with the kiddos after our homework and vegan dinner. This will be a bonus workout as I work out every morning at 5am so I wont beat myself up too bad. BTW those evening walks with the kiddos are great practice for their Disney touring gotta build that stamina.

Congrats!

I'm waiting until Monday for my "official" loss this week. I walk at lunch (same reason - gotta practice!) and we now have "family dance time" after dinner (using Wii Dance). My 3 year old LOVES it and we feel better after.

Baby steps....

I was talking to a guy at my gym this week. He was going into the sauna wearing a plastic sweat suit. I asked him how much weight he lost using it. He said that while sitting in the sauna for 1/2 hr, he'd shed up to 8 lbs. Now I know that once he showers and has a cup of water, 5-6 lbs come right back.

So, what's your opinion of plastic sweat suits in the sauna?

A fake, misleading cheat?

or

A head start to try to build off of?

I was stuck at 157 lbs for 3 years . Eating clean and exercise was not enough . My friend April started me on a shake and after first 2 weeks I lost 9 lbs ! I don't lose weight because of my thyroid ! No more wellbutrin or celexa and my cholesterol levels are normal ! Never been happier ! Well on my way to getting myself back ! Now to get used to wearing shorts again in public.

Hi there,

Anyone here using Xenical?
I used to take Xenical in 2011 on generic-meds-store.com but now their prices are much higher. Can anyone recommend a cheaper but safe net source?

I'm really late to the game, but I'd love to join in!

I booked our Disney trip in January (going November of this year) and then signed up for Weight Watchers the same week. The WDW trip is just one of my motivators

I'm just joining too.

Here's my background: I am hoping to go back to WDW in August of 2013. It will be the summer before my daughter starts her senior year of high school so I think it may be our last family trip there. That is one of my motivators. The other is I just don't like the way I look or feel.

I joined Weight Watchers with one of my girlfriend so that we can help each other succeed.

Hi everyone,

This is one game, I hate playing

My stats:

Name: Linda
State: NJ
Current weight: 151
Goal weight: 130
Diet type: Eating healthier and PORTION CONTROL and exercise (probably just from house cleaning since I work full time and have 3 children)


I have a question for everyone: Do any of you not swim because of your weight? I have not put on a bathing suit in years. I just think my body looks horrendous and bathing suits are the worst. I just feel like I am missing out on swimming activities with my children.

I have avoided suits lately, but this year we are getting season passes to a waterpark and Im gonna "just do it" and not worry about what other people think and work hard at getting in shape! I will be using the wave pool as a workout too! Going out in the deep end of wave pool and fighting the waves is a great workout!

Good luck!
