Mike' Make Over Madness!

[jennz]

Soooooo glad to hear from you...I hope things get better! Although we've never met I still consider you a friend and a great person. Be proud that you're exercising - what a lifestyle change! You have come so far with your weight loss and it's because you've made major changes in your life. If you can make changes like that you are obviously a Strong Person. You can make it through these latest challenges...I (and many many people on the DIS) have faith in you!

p.s. please don't go away again...you have so many friends here who are always ready to listen...

Hi, Mike! How great to hear from you. I have missed you terribly and was hoping everything was okay. Winters are so hard anyway, and I am so sorry yours was particularly difficult. I hope things get easier for you -- just think, soon you will be in WDW!!! BTW, I am doing my first solo trip, leaving Thursday. Really wish you were going to be there at the same time. Take good care of yourself.

 

[goldcupmom]

Mike! Yeah, you're Back!!!

I've been wondering about you and praying that things are ok with you.

Lifestyle changes are more than weight loss, and you are moving...that in itself is a HUGE change!!

Believe me, I totally understand how life's demands and challenges can interrupt your best laid plans.

Take it easy, check in often(I hope). I miss you terribly! You were the sunshine of many of our days.

We're behind you! Don't feel bad about not working at losing weight. Healthy changes, whether they are weight loss or not is what we ALL are working for!

Have a good one!

I'm SO jealous you are almost back at WDW!

 

[Mykelogan]

Thanks Jenn & Cam!!! You guys rock!!

Cam - Oh, if I could add another trip I would so be there with ya thursday!! I can barely stand to wait the next 27 days!

Mike

 

[jennz]

That's me - I'm a rocker!

Cam - We'll be there Saturday!! I'm getting so excited! Mike I was hoping you'd be there then too to set up another meet but you were just born too late I guess. Where are you staying? We're at Pop Saturday night and then onto SSR...I can't wait to be in some HOT weather! (Sorry to hijack your journal Mike!)

Mike!!!

It's so great to see you! I'm sorry times have been challenging, but it sounds like you're dealing.

Just remember that no one here likes you because of your focus on weight loss and outstanding successes. We're happy for you, but we like you for YOU.

Don't be a stranger...

Oh now you got me jealous!!! You're gonna be at my home base Saturday!!! Tell the staff I said hello and that I will be home in a few weeks! hehe Oh and hijack whenever you like Jenn!

Thanks, I needed that! And I will try not to be!

 

[goldcupmom]

Glad you're still popping in , Mike! I"m glad this morning wasn't a fluke.

Hope today has been a good one.

 

[jennz]

I'll pass your message along! I was hoping we'd be there at the same time so you could arrange another meet - that would be fun. Sigh - I guess we'll just have to have a good time without this trip...BTW, Christie/Dopey4Disney just returned and lost 7 pounds down there while eating a Mickey bar every day! Sign me up for that!

Back to you, Mike - just remember this is a journey and reread your own posts for inspiration. You have come a long way and it sounds like you're 1/2way through. Set backs/detours happen, don't get down about it. I know it's hard not to and I'm so glad you're posting again. It seems like when we (I'm including myself and many others here) need the WISH boards the most we go away. Gaining weight isn't defeat - just a temporary setback! I have "temporarily" set myself back 20#s but that's okay, I've reached my limit and am getting back to a healthier me. Hey - you made it through WDW on your own legs last time right?! Awesome!!

 

[keenercam]

Mike -- So glad to see you visited again yesterday! I have really, really missed you. I forgot to mention that I am excited for you that you are exercising. That is such an awesome lifestyle change to have made and stuck to. Are you swimming at all? Is your friend still helping you with weight training? I thought of you when I started incorporating strength training into my weekly routine.

BTW, Jenn, I am sending you a PM.

 

[goldcupmom]

Bumpin' you back up, my friend. I don't want to see you disappear to page 2!

Out of sight is NOT out of mind, tho!!

Almost the weekend. Hope it's going well.

Hey buddy, I'm still lurking around here too from time to time. I sympathize with the tough times this winter, and its been lingering, one of the snowiest March's that I ever remember. Have fun on your birthday trip! Will you be trying out the big E:E?! I'm jealous, I think the lingering effect of my trip was to just make me want to come back again and again! Plus I'm totally freaked because I'm seeing Interline rates for the disney resorts at almost 50% off, for airline employees and their families. POP for $39 a night?! great googly moogly!

Hey, we need some more of your awesome trip reports!!

 

[toystoryduo]

Yeah Mike!!! You're back!!! I am so glad to see that you are posting again.

I'm sorry that this winter has been difficult for you. You have been in my thoughts and prayers.

So, you're going back to the World in a few days??? That's great! We just booked the fall package with free dining!!! I am so excited about it. And guess where we are staying for the very first time???? POP CENTURY!!!

Please post when you can. We all missed you!

P.S. I am sending you a PM.....

[jennz]

Hey Mike - we're back and the CMs at Pop say your room is ready and waiting for ya... What a fun hotel that is! I can see why you like it. I think they have my DH's leisure suit up on the wall but he swears the glitter platform shoes weren't his

 

[goldcupmom]

Hope you're off to a good start to this week, Mike!

SO CLOSE TO WDW!!!

Have a good one!

Hi Cam! Glad to hear you incorporated some strength training, I still do love doing mine. I am still doing both the weights and swimming. Hope that you are having a good week!

Hey Tracy! Just wanted to say how jealous I am of you getting to book a free dining trip!!! The promo is for the busiest time of the year here, I actually asked my boss if I could take a few days off and she laughed at me. LOL
