Losing weight for WDW?

[Not so Dumbo]

Does anyone else feel like they're addicted to food? Say like in the same way one would be addicted to smoking. I hope I'm not alone. Everytime I see a commercial for something good it bugs me that they play those commercials but they would never, and are not allowed to play a cigarette commercial. I know I'm ranting

So okay, I haven't made any progress that I've been able to hold on to, but I have a new motivation. I got my DH to agree that since I LOVE to eat out, for every week that I loose at least 3 lbs and keep it off, we can go out to eat on either Friday or Saturday. I figure why not try to use my "addiction" to achieve something. Fight fire with fire. It's at least worth a shot.

I am working a straight second shift while my wife is in nursing school. After I drop the kids at school, I meet a buddy of mine at the YMCA and we get our workout in. It really helps if you've got someone to do the workouts with you. We work out 5 days a week, M - F. We'll do 30 mins of cardio, which equals about 2.6 miles on the cross trainer, and then lift weights for another 45 mins. My wife says she can really see a difference in my appearance

I like to work out with people too...that is why I like Curves...the ladies at the one I go to are all very nice and we have nice conversations while we work out.

In a few minutes, I will be working out with DFi for the first time...he will be on the treadmill...me on the bike...

I have lost a few pounds and inches and hopefully will be down another 15 for my Dec trip...

Good luck to all!

Can I join too? We are going to May 2007 sadly I need to lose much more then even 50 pounds. My friend and I have started to walk 3 miles a night. Our complex has killer hills which are great.

I have done WW many many times. By week 3 I give up and just start eating everthing in site. This time I am eating really good during the week and when the weekend comes I am giving myself permission to eat what I want. Yesterday we went to a birthday party. The food was amazing. I ate what I wanted even cake. I surprised myself when I only had one plate instead of 3 or more. I was happy with what I had. Huge huge improvement. I didn't feel deprived at all. Yeah me!!!


I also am not setting a weight goal. Instead I want to yes lose weight but also become stronger by working out.

Have a great day!

Just joining everyone here, hoping to get some encouragement and motivation, and perhaps give some as well I've gained 25# since starting nursing school and I was already needing to lose 30 So I'd love to lose 50# or more by our trip May 23, 2007 (or even better, by graduation May 6, 2007!!) I want to be a healthy nurse and mom.

Good luck everyone.

Well, I'm happy to report that this morning I met my first WW goal!!! My BMI is no longer in the "overweight" category. YEAH! My next goal is 10 more pounds, but I somehow doubt I'll lose that before our WDW trip (in 21 days).

I have a bikini I'm planning on wearing to the pool. It won't look sexy on me (lol), but at least I'll feel good in it.

Does anyone else feel that that WW's weight goals are rather low? They say I should weigh something ridiculous like 104 pounds!!! I don't ever remember weighing that low at 12 or 13 years old! My personal goal is MUCH MUCH more than that.
