A Weight Loss Update
With the stress of the end of the school year, I ended up not being able to lose that much weight - in fact, I put a little bit of weight back on. My trainer came to my rescue, and modified a diet that previously did not work for me (I love her, she is all about using what works best for each individual), even though she is not currently training me. Since the last day of school, I've managed to take off about 7.5 lbs. I'm at my lowest weight since college. Right now, I'm roughly at 213 lbs. If I can get down to 200 lbs before our trip, I'd be amazingly happy.
I bought several pairs of jean/khaki shorts (ok, more than several) in a size smaller than I was able to wear. As of today, I have 6 pair that fit comfortably, 2 additional pair that semi-comfortably (they're way shorter than I'm used to and I think that's the issue right now), and 2 pair that I don't think I'll be able to wear. Additionally, I have 4 pair of cotton shorts and 2 pair of running shorts, along with 3 or 4 pair in a bigger size that I could wear with a belt as a last resort. I know I'll have to do laundry at least once on our trip.
I'm also proud to say that NONE of my shirts for this trip are plus-sized (although it was a challenge with my bust size
). I bought a ton of $3.88 tank tops at Walmart, and they fit comfortably. I think I just have to let go and not worry about how I look - hard for me to do, especially since my husband purchased PhotoPass and wants to upgrade to PhotoPass+.
Joining in!
And congrats on the weight loss, too. I know it is hard, I'm struggling myself, but keep working at it and you will get there. 
I would love to one day spend 2 weeks at WDW & do everything!!!
I just got the go ahead 2 days ago to start planning our Disney trip, which will take place in November. My husband only agreed to it if I promised to "get in shape" before we go. I'm sad to say that I'm at my highest weight and just sick about it. So starting on monday I'm starting my diet. 
My goal is to loose 40 lbs before November 10th. **Minimum** I have twice that amount to loose, but 40 lbs off my joints is going to feel AMAZING!!! I'm not doing it for vanity reasons, I just want to become healthier AND I want to walk the parks ALL day and NOT feel like dying when I get back to the hotel room because I'm so sore. 
Hope you have a wonderful time!
I'm already trying to convince J that we should plan another trip, and this one hasn't even happened yet! My biggest headache with loosing weight has been exercise. The diet itself was surprisingly easy (except for changing the amount of carbs I consume). If you ever want to talk, feel free to PM me. Starting is the hardest part. 
One of my reasons for wanting to lose some weight was this trip, and my asthma. Even though I'm not where I'd hoped to be, it's still better than where I was.
The park opens at 8am, so well be allowed to enter at 7am
and well be walking from our hotel
so well probably leave our hotel by 6am! OUCH! I purchased Universal Express passes for us, so the plan is to go to WWoHP, ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (worried about this due to my weight, and Js broad shoulders), ride Dragon Challenge (again, hoping we both can ride it even though Im TERRIFIED of this coaster 
), ride Flight of the Hippogriff, and then go to Ollivanders. Depending on what time it is, we may visit more of the shops. We have a 9:30 breakfast reservation at Three Broomsticks. J wants to try Butterbeer, and I want to try Pumpkin Juice. I also have a feeling that well be coming away with quite a few souvenirs from WWoHP, including some treats from Honeydukes (although we probably wont stop here until the end of the day). I know I also want a Pygmy Puff from Zonkos. Oh, and well have to send ourselves a letter from the owl post.
Hes horrible at keeping secrets. That is the only reservation we have on that day, and its a late dinner (7:45pm, I think), so meals will be as we feel hungry.
We don't have kids, so they're my babies. I'm also a huge worrywart (doubly so when it's that time of the month), and I'm terrified of something happening to them while we're gone. I'm excited to go and be at Disney and Universal, but I'm dreading leaving in a few hours, especially since the kitten meows sadly 
whenever we shut the door, and the other two have been giving me hell in the form of meows and chirps since we brought the luggage downstairs a few days ago. I know I'll be fine once we're into the drive. It's safe to say I'll call my MIL at least once a day to check in on my girls.
