May Weight Loss Challenge: Who's in?

[tinkamom]

Hey Lisa, I'm back and ready to join in again! I'm going to start out easy and go for a 4 lbs this month.

 

[bonna girl]

I hope you're kidding. You did fine. You're making me feel like a Mama. I'm a tad sarcastic bonna girl. It's a Canadian thing.

OH NO... a Canadian!!!

Actually I am married to a Canadian... DH is from Calgary.

Hey!

Did you have fun? Let me know. Nice weather I hear. I was watching a live cam from the BWV BW view all week. It was wild - sound and all. Illuminations. Some DISers hooked it up from their suite. Maybe I saw you!

I was about to say RUN. But hey that wouldn't be productive in your situation. You lucky girl, you!

Good Luck everyone

I too am shaping up for my disney trip

Thanks Mom2Lindsey. That's sweet of you to pop in. When are you going?

I gave you a very special posting for your 4.

OMG we love love love the Boardwalk! The kids had a ball there....dancing and hula hooping and DD5 was picked by the magician for a hilarous skit. It was great! I want to stay there next time!

I had a surprising 1lb loss this week! I've maintained for several weeks and thought this was looking the same so....1/5

I start working as a nanny full-time on Monday so I'm really trying to wrap my mind around what I need to do to stay on track. Making sure exercise is written into my schedule, meal planning, etc. Wish me luck!

Lost 3 lbs. this week. . Guess my 3mi. nightly workouts are finally working. Even though I'm on WW, I also cut back on carbs, increased protien and started eating a few more pts. this week. Good luck to all!

Well.... I was trying to find my post from last Friday and it appears that I didn't make it here. Too bad, because it was a great weight loss. And sadly, I come here today to post a small gain. But overall I am down this month, so no complaining.

-3/7 for me so far this month. Gotta kick my behind into gear if I am going to make my goal this month!........................P

The most lovely thing about the webcam was that you could almost continuously hear children's laughter at night. Only a DISer could get so much out a webcam. One DISer said her husband walked by and said shaking his head, "Are you REALLY watching Illuminations on a webcam?". Why yes, I say!

Glad you had a good time Debi. Surprisingly enough I'm going back soon. One of my friends got a Value room on her TA rate, ie. very low, and said, "Come! Come! Come! and only pay for air and food". So I got a great rate on air. And well no park tickets and I'll be eating children's meals at CS. But lucky me. I've done lots of non-park trips with DVC so that's fine. I feel rich to be going again. It's for five days in June. I'll be hanging at the BW while they are at the parks.

And to add to lucky, lucky me. One of our DVC contracts is at BWV. We've owned DVC for three years and I have never once used a priority booking window. Finally I did and what a catch. I got BWV BW guaranteed view for NY's week!!!! Who knows if we'll have money for park tickets or food but I'll be watching those BW crowds from my balcony. (We paid for DVC outright after ten years of wishing; but I"m hardly well off) I love hanging out. I'm so psyched.

Now I can't fail!

I thought it was cute. I wanted to put "hard" beside my 4. I've been pretty well maintaining since BL4. Down a little. Back up. But really maintaining for awhile is okay. I'm trying to only go on the scale once or twice a month.

That's great Tia. Glad someone is breaking through a plateau. Have fun at your new position. How many kids?

Gotcha wezee. Great. Hey.... WOW! You're 75% already.

I had a rough week. Communion party, death in family. So eating right and exercising was hard but I still managed a loss. I'm 0.3/5.0.

Thanks.

Thanks. It was my elderly, sick Uncle (who we loved). It's very hard to eat right when your schedule gets suddenly changed. But everything is back to normal now and I'll try to be "good".

I thought sure I wouldn't, but I actually lost weight this past week!! So. . .
I'm down 2/5!!

 

[bettyann29]

Can I join in??

I kind of feel like Im cheating cause I had lapband surgery a few months ago but I have the same struggles you guys do losing the weight.. the band only helps so I dont eat as much.. I still have to make good food decisions and exercise..

If I can join you guys, Id love too.. My goal would be to lose 5 pounds by the end of the month..

 

[bonna girl]

I weighed in today and am at 6/8 for the month.

I hope everyone else is doing well.
