Hi everyone!

I am a longtime lurker, and I can never seem to get the hang to posting on message boards for the first time (I always feel like I am intruding on someone else's private conversations!!!)

But, I love Disney, and I have a ton of weight to lose, so I thought that this would be a good place to start if I'm going to start! I'm on Weight Watchers, and I just got back from Florida (finished the 1/2 marathon, albeit, at a pretty long time!), and I think I gained more weight than lost from the race!

I'm about to head to the gym now to have an easy 3 mile run/walk, and I weigh in on Fridays or Saturdays (haven't been in a week, though!!)

You guys seem like so much fun, and I look forward to chatting with you!

Hi there,
Glad your not going to LURK anymore!! Just jump right in, there is no feeling like your intruding around here!

Glad you got to experience the Marathon last week! It doesn't matter what your time was. The fact that you got out there and started it is such an accomplishment! It was honestly the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Welcome!!! I'm on WW's too so if you have any questions just ask!

I am glad you decided not to lurk anymore. This is a great place for motivation and inspiration. You won't intrude on personal conversations, we are all in this together. I look forward to getting to know you better.

DisneyGirl - Welcome!!! I have to say that WISH has to be one of the friendliest boards around. All are welcome!!! A good place to start (if you have not already) is by reading some journals. There are some truly amazing people that have accomplished major weight loss! Feel free tojump into any of the threads and let us know if you have any questions.

Hi
Welcome to WISH

 

[DisneyGirl]

Thanks for the great welcome everyone!!

I should be returning to Weight Watchers this week-- I actually lost about 50 pounds a few years back, and gained it back because of stress and all of the other excuses that come back to haunt ... I figure, if I can finish a half marathon, it can't be as hard to lose weight!! My goal is to be able to wear my two-piece bathing suit at my trip to Disney in August!! (Probably means losing about 45-50 pounds; that's about 5-6 pounds a month, which I think is doable if I actually stick with it!!)

Thanks again-- I hope to find some extra time to get posting-- I'm jealous of all you guys with thousands of posts!!

DisneyGirl-
Welcome! You can definitely do that 2 piecer if you put your mind to it Think of what you've already accomplished!

Oh & I wouldn't worry about the number of posts. (I secretly wonder what is up with people who post a separate answer to every question-must want to see their count go up lol! (and not talking about anyone here!) ) it is the fact that you post at all that matters!

Glad to have you here!
