May 5th 2007 Western Magic CINCO DIS MAYO!

[kandyk]

If there is a dis diet going on I am in, I can use all the support I can get. I've lost about 20lbs so far with Jenny Craig but the holidays sure put a halt on my dieting efforts. I started back in full force on Saturady so we will see what happens. I would sure love to lose another 20+ lbs before the cruise.

hello, everyone. I haven't really been an active member of this thread...I think I subscribed and posted once last spring. anyway, instead of reading through everything to see.......does anyone have kids around my kids ages? I have a son, Reid, that is 9 and a daughter, Regan, that is 7. This will be our second disney cruise, but the last time we only did the 4 night. also, along for this cruise will be myself and my hubby, and my parents.

Just wanted to say "hi!!!!"

MBW..our second cruise too and we also did the 4 nite one our first cruise. Our dd will be 5 at time of cruise but she too likes any little girls willing to be her friend.

Thats what i want to loose about 20 lbs. I am doing the weight watchers myself and boy i am having a hard time staying at the needed points without going over. how does the jenny craig diet work?

 

[pppiglet]

Sherrie....you are scaring me. Only 17 more weeks to lose weight? That seems so much shorter than 4 months! I have to get busy!

Well sorry i've been absent but the holidays are run run run in our household and we celebrated the New Year in Toronto welcoming my best friend's baby boy born on 12/27. He was about 2 weeks early, but is healthy and adorable. I hope everyone had great holidays and Happy New Year to all!!

Thanks to all who sent Devin X-mas cards, he loved them. Kaylin's handmade card with Lightning McQueen was a big hit - he carried it around.

So I've updated the roll call to add Ilona and Kyra, saltwater taffy and crew as well as mbw12, but the roll call (POST #15 on page 1 for those who may not know about it) is a little incomplete. Saltwater and mbw12w, if you want to let me know the names of your party members, I'll add them to the list. And welcome to all of you! We are me (Kim) + DH Brian, and DS Devin (just shy of 3 at sailing) and we hail from the suburbs of Detroit. This is our first Disney cruise and DS's first cruise ever. MBW12, for a list of kids your kids ages, check out the roll call list on pg 1, post 15.

Jenny Craig is where you buy all of their foods except fruits and veggies etc... It's very good for people who have a hard time planning and/or portion control problems. It's kind of expensive but you get breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack. The food is pretty good too

My husband just joined Nutrisystem, but there is no way we can afford both of us on this. He will be paying just under $300 for 4 weeks. I have 25 years of baby fat to lose . My baby just turned 25 on the 30th! I have done nothing but gain since. And out of 5 different medicines I take, 2 make me gain weight. I am lucky though, I have not gained anything in a year, but I can't loose either. I am going to really try adding walking to maybe help some how. Oh, and I have to remember my water. I am going to work hard on this and just hope for the best.
Good luck to all!

In desperate need of pixie dust !

After having an office fire last January, I was really hoping to have a good tax season. I was doing good until my receptionist is off on medical leave indefinitely. We are only going to hold her job for a week. I don't want to train someone new in the middle of W-2 madness.

Now for the biggest reason I need the pixie dust, I applied for a more peaceful job today. I really, really, really, really want it. They are starting interviews on Friday and I e-mailed my resume/Cover letter this morning and paid over $20 to Fedex the rest of the app to their office by in the morning. I was really hoping that I would get a response to my e-mail, but nothing . I mean I like some aspects of my job, but for the large majority of the time I hate it. Please keep me in your prayers, I think a new job would be the best thing for me right now.

Thanks for letting me vent.

The gym I go to is starting a BL contest next Monday and I'm in. I'm working out ALOT!!! But I have ALOT to lose.

Hope everyone is well, Have a great week!!!

 

[sherrie]

good luck cruise bound sending some pixie dust your way

 

[Madisonznana]

Karen, maybe they were so overwhelmed by your wonderful cover and resume, they became speechless and need a day or so to catch their breath!!!

And here are a few

 

[CruiseBoundnKY]

Thanks so much girls!!! I certainly hope your right. I will keep you posted.

I hadn't received much positive encouragement about it since everyone thinks I have the greatest job now and so I haven't told but a couple of people. You girls are great!

I walked on the treadmill for 1 and 1/2 hours tonight. Somewhere between 4 and 5 miles. I had a lot of frustration built up and I put a pic of the Magic on the treadmill. I spent a lot of that time daydreaming about the cruise. It definitely cheered me up.

I'll check in tomorrow.

Cruise..Keep your chin up....will keep throwing dixie dust your way for the job.


As for all these diets... When do all of you weigh yourself? i am on a weekly weigh in with WW and weigh in on wednesdays. I weighed in last nite and was shocked i lost 3.6 lbs already
Maybe we can all post our goals and such and keep the support going to each other. So lets here what are your weight loss goals, when did you start your diet, when do you weigh in, and how much have you lost so far if you have been on the diet awhile, and what diet are you using to lose weight.?

Me i started my diet Dec, 27th, i am hoping to loos 20 lbs by time of cruise, i weigh in on weds., and after 1 week i lost 3.6 lbs using the weight watchers diet.

Hi everyone!
Welcome to the new people!

Cruisebound here's some pixie dust for you...hope it works out like you want!

Well for everyone on diets (which includes me) guess my ds has the best one. He just got all four wisdom teeth pulled and hasn't eaten more than applesauce and a few protein shakes since Tuesday!

As for me, I do NOT weigh myself...I go by how the clothes fit. I just put aside a pair of jeans that I want to get into (my "skinny" jeans) and when they fit, I know I am good. Nooooowwwww....those skinny jeans are still sitting on the shelf in my closet, soooooo...I know my diet hasn't worked yet...but hey, I have 17 weeks right? Just remember to drink LOTS of water daily, eat a protein meal with no more than 200 calories each every 2-3 hours, and exercise! This has always worked for me. Right now the only exercise I get is at work, which is usually walking dogs and lifting a lot...(I pet sit for people).

Anyway, we can do it everyone!
Has anyone gotten their final payment in yet?

Heck of a way to loose weight but if it works why not right? lol..really though i feel for Ryan as i know whats its like to have all 4 out at once. not fun but he will be back to eating everything in no time.

I am calling RCI today to have then go ahead and do the balance of our amount..woohoo

 

[Madisonznana]

I have been procrastinated with the diet. I just don't want to get on the scale. But I will tomorrow and it is officially on! I've been waiting for my husband to start his, but with work he hasn't even had time to open his box. I will start tomorrow with or without him!
For those that don't know, those are jumping jacks..

 

[CruiseBoundnKY]

Well today they rec'd my application and resume, but said they won't review them until next Tuesday and then it could be a couple of weeks before they interview. So for now I sit and wait and pray ALOT!!!

I worked out on the treadmill for an hour and 1/2 last night. Then for 20 minutes this morning. I have created a spreadsheet schedule for myself in excel. I have exceeded my workout goal everyday this week.

I wish everyone well on their diets. I put a postcard of the Magic on the treadmill where I can see it when I walk. That's my motivation.

 

[sherrie]

I have been on a low carb diet for a year and to date have lost 30lbs. being a diabetic this is a great diet for my sugar control however i have hit a plateu and think i need to incorporate some exersise, but i am so dang lazy. has anyone seen kim kirk i sent her an email but have not heard from her in ages.

hey kim if you are out there. i have to catch up on all of the posts.

talk to you all soon,
best wishes,
sherrie

 

[pppiglet]

I'll find out on Monday how much longer I have a job. I might be needing another soon! I have been there 30yrs (started when I was 16) and I think they are closing down soon. Business has been real bad the last 3 years.

Diet not going so good. Lost 2lbs so far, but need to get back to my classes this week

We got a DCL travel kit in the mail today. Anyone else get one? I am going to go through it now.

No . Have you paid off your trip?? Maybe that is why they have chosen to ignore me... I will get that last payment in in the next two weeks. Than they may deem me worthy of a travel kit!
Did anyone order the 2007 Disney Cruise Line Passporter? I pre-ordered it and they said they should be going out by Jan. 22. I have never even seen one before, but is sounds good.
I am on day two of my diet. Yesterday went well, but the evening was not my greatest. It wasn't as bad as it could have been if I wasn't dieting, but I could have made better choices AT AN ITALIAN RESTURANT!

Oh, and has anyone else seen the new section under the smilies (more section)? They have made ribbons for the W.I.S.H. group. It's for pounds lost. Maybe we could "borrow" them if we loose any wieght.
Well I hope everyone's weekend is going great. Talk to you all soon.

I just paid ours off this week. No travel kit yet but we are going thru rci so who knows when. I have been asking disney to send me a castaway club update cards and they have not yet.
haven't ordered the passporter book yet but really want to. i looked thru one of the other ones and i really like it. Kind of waiting to see if i can get one in our local store then buy may just preorder and hope its cheaper then in the local store.
I'm getting very antsy now for this cruise..even the kids are getting impatient. next month i start our pre-signups for the kids and such.
