Just wanted to post my progress....Tuesday is my weigh in day for Weight Watchers. I was down 1.6 this week for a total of 5.2 lbs lost in 3 weeks. I'm pretty happy!

Let's hope I can keep it up! I did my High School Musical Dance game yesterday for almost 2 hours and was sweating it up

Congrats on the weight loss. I feel like I have been going up and down for the past few weeks losing the same few pounds. I lost last week so if I lose at my weigh in on Saturday I will have broken the cycle. Does that make sense? Anyway...I have been so good with tracking my food and exercise this week that if I don't lose it wont be because of anything I did wrong!

I just finished working out and let me tell you guys, I was not in the mood to do it. I woke up tired and just felt lazy but I forced myself to do it and now I feel great. I am so happy I did not give in to those lazy feelings. Some days are easier than others and we just have to push through it.

Have a great day.

Just checking in. I haven't been on much but I'm still plugging away on the weight loss. I am doing great on the eating part, but the exercise part is lacking. That is my focus this month. My diet is going great I just need to move more. Good luck everyone and it's great seeing people getting closer to their goals.

Hi there. Can I join? I'm actually leaving 2 weeks from Friday and driving to DW, arrivingon May 16. Going with a couple of friends. I've been "thinking" I've needed to lose weight for several years. But, I'm also a "foodie." I love the tastes and textures of food! And I'm not one of those that likes to chew and then spit out. I train horses part time and have realized I really need to drop the extra 30 pounds if I want to keep my knees and back in decent shape. A few months ago, I had a couple of things cause some extra stress in my life. I have plenty of stress factors (like we all do) to begin with, these just kicked it over the edge. Apparently, the kick I needed - while I am still a foodie, I've just lost the desire to taste or try all those wonderful sounding things. Basically, I completely lost my appetite. It's back now, but at a more controllable level.

So,
weight when I started around 165
I don't have a scale, but at my parents house helping out one day, jumped on their scale (about 2 weeks ago) and was down to 153.
height 5'4"
goal weight 130

I'm aiming to just keep an eye on my caloric intake per day. I'm a little afraid of the trip, though. First night there, dinner at Cinderella's Castle, next day, lunch with Pooh!

Welcome! We will be there on the 16th too. My goal was to be much slimmer then but looks like I am not going to make it Oh, well, I have lost some and will keep on plugging away at it. Maybe I will make my goal before the next trip. I generally do fine at WDW because I do so much walking and swimming that it offsets my eating. Even though I don't eat everything healthy, I do much better than I used to and since my stomach has shrunk so much, it take much less to fill me up. On the dining plan, I try to use my snacks to nibble on healthier choices rather than eat big meals many hours apart and I have our ADRS scheduled early so we are not eating late at night.
Good luck to you.

Hi All!
Well my excerising has been going well but I still have not lost any weight, maybe b/c I could do better on the food front....
The past two days I have been waking up early before work and going for a 1 mile walk and I have been going to the gym twice a week. I know it is a long way up hill (it seems) to get to my goal but at least I have started climbing rather than just looking at the hill and thinking there is no way I can do it.
Today when I was walking I didn't feel so out of breath- so it is getting easier.

If there are any english teachers out there reading this I know there are a lot of run on sentences in this message - LOL

Have a good night!

We would make the perfect dieter. You have the exercise and I have become calorie counting machine. If we were the wonder twins I'd say, let our powers combine.

Maybe we'll run into each other sometime during the stay! I'm not sure that I'll make my goal weight - that's a lot to drop in just the next 2.5 weeks, but, I'm gonna keep plugging away after I get back!

Didn't think about the walking and swimming. I think I tend to plateau in weight loss because I stay more physically active, but my eating can go off - depending on times of the month, etc, how much physical work I've done on fencing, etc. I spend my weekends fixing paddocks at home, generally, so sometimes, there's a lot of work involved. But, good point! I'm hoping to continue watching what I eat for the week I'm there! Taking LOTS of water to drink. Keeps me from wanting to munch all the time!

Not an English teacher, but I did major in it... I have a tendency to write run ons when I'm not paying attention all the time! Too much to say, not enough time!

HOLY COW!!!!!

OK, first, as a concussion queen, OW! I had a dance partner drop me and I landed smack on my head on concrete. Only one of my very many concussions. I am so sorry girl! Good Night Nurse! Bless your heart! And then you find out you have to eat 1300 cal a day no matter what. Gracious. Keep yourself with plenty of protein and hydration, and get some rest. My goodness. My heart just goes out to you! I really hope you feel better soon! And your hubby! Man, ya'll had a day!

 

[loralie]

Lisa - All I can say is you do not lead a boring life! I feel like I am watching a soap opera over here. Glad everyone is alright now. Get plenty of rest and take care of yourself.

What a great visualization idea! I'll be following your lead!

It seems you have the determination to succeed! Sorry to hear about all your health concerns. I'm sure losing weight will be good for your health!

Thanks. I turned 41 this year, although I have lost weight before in my life, but this time I am ready to drop the weight and work at keeping it off. I also see what my future could be like and I don't want more health problems as I get older. I look at my kids and I want to be around to see them grow up and be around when they are young adults too. It really is the best gift I can give my kids - I don't want to rely on them to take care of me.

I also know I got derailed in my 30s due to having kids and taking care of them - I put others before myself and last year was a wake up call. I think just about everyone can relate to that, it's tough to get caught up in it all.

You're not alone. I am constantly working on watching how much food I eat.

[disneydreamertoo]

Lisa I'm glad both you and your husband are o.k. Wow, that sounded scary! Was your faint from lack of calories/eating? Maybe you need to start eating lots of mini meals within the range of calories your dr. recommends. Do you like rice cakes? They are great low-cal eat anytime snacks. They come in lots of great new flavors! Girl keep safe--Take care! Putting you on my prayer list!

You can keep your title don't like concussions .... Do you still dance ?... Thanks for the love

Well, when I'm cast in a show, yes. But I don't do it as much. I've had a few.. injuries.. with the horses. Concussion Queen speaking here. Gotten some damage to a knee as well as a shattered vertebrae in the spine (car, not horse, thank the Lord). So, it tends to hurt more. That specific drop was when I was in college. I don't even want to know how many years ago now.

On a lighter note, I'm excited. I can't remember last time I stopped at my parents house, but I dropped by after work today, and took a quick turn on the scale. For the first time in YEARS I'm under 150 pounds. I flat out can't believe it. I don't even remember how long it's been since that's happened. I had just eaten a big sandwich, so probably not the best time to weight, but I currently am at 148 pounds.

That being said, I thought about changing my goal weight to 125. Then, I thought about the clothes that are already loose on my and I refuse to purchase new clothes b/c they are in good condition, if a little baggy, and I'm cheap and stingy. So then, I wasn't sure about whether to go to 125. Odd reason to not drop the extra 5 pounds? I just can't decide. Already have to go buy a belt. I'm beginning to wonder if I should try to stop at 135. I just hate shopping period. Unless it has something to do with my horses, and then I can handle it for about 45 minutes.

 

[KarBear]

Lisa:
OMG I can't believe all that happened to you and your husband!
Seriously, you poor thing. I hope you both will be ok.
On the bright side, you are really lucky you did not do more damage hitting pavement. But still it sounds like you are one hurting lady.
I am thinking and praying for you. Oh and sending you some good vibes......

And Happy Anniversary!

Well, I got up early and walked three times this week before work and got to the gym twice.
And you are right ladies and gents...it does seem to get a little easier everyday.
I also have cut way back on my snacks and I don't feel quite as hungry anymore..now if I can just keep it up for the weekend.

On a side note, I have been having some (female) issues and have had to make a decision to go back on the pill. We've been trying to have a second child for about 3 years now, so it was not a decision I could make easily and breaks my heart a bit, but I am hoping that it will only be for about 5 months and then I can go off and start trying again.
But of course that means I am going to have to work even harder now as some of you may know how easy it is to gain weight when on the pill.
On the bright side (you always have to find a bright side - right?) I won't have my "friend" when we are in Disney. That is a plus.....

Sorry to all the guys on this thread....I hope you have wives and can at least somewhat understand all this without gagging....for those of you who are single and now really gagging...really I do apologize...
