Ive been trying to get this going again for a few weeks. On the weekends Ive been failing terribly and starting again on Mondays. No real diet here, just trying to cut out the junk; increase the fruits & vegs. Ice cream seems to stick to my butt. I find when I take DS on daytrips (zoo, farm, aquarium) I buy him & myself ice cream - I should be getting something less fattening. Started walking again, usually do about 14miles a week. Ready to up that to 21miles/week. I did it last Sept-Nov and felt great. Summer is coming and I want to be able to put those skorts, shorts and bathing suits back on.
Can I join in with you guys?

Boy, do I hear that! I know I have felt the same way in the past

So you're ready to get healthy, I think that's great. That's the best thing about WISH, we all have the same basic goal of getting healthy and boy, do we understand how it feels to try to lose weight

Good luck with this. Get ready to be successful because I have no doubt that you will be very successful.

Grab a positive outlook and join right in, we are as positive as possible on WISH, it keeps us motivated and determined I'm kind of the silver lining/positive attitude cop around here (along with a bunch of others ) Oh, you'll see....I think you're going to enjoy WISH, we are always looking on the bright side here, because we are all <b>losers</b>, very successful losers. And that's a good thing You are going to be successful too. We will help you.

Welcome to WISH, Barb!

There is a post at the top of the board with 'clipart instructions'

Welcome Barb!!
I'm a newbie on this board and I've found nothing but wonderful ladies (errr...and men!) I don't get a chance to post as often as I'd like, but it's wonderful to come and read that others are going through what I'm going through.

Yesterday was esp hard for me as we packed for the cruise (leaving Friday) One set of shorts was just too big, the others just snug enough to be uncomfortable. So I'm here to get support and hopefully GIVE support!

My tip re: ice cream at the zoo, etc....don't buy your own. I am the "official royal tester" in our family. You want candy? Mom has to take a small bite to make sure it's not poisoned! The kids are onto my scheme now and laugh about it and offer a bite to me to test. Or I let them get ice cream but I KNOW that they'll need me to help lick it back into shape to keep it from dripping. MOST times just these small bites are enough to get it out of my system and make myself not feel "deprived" of the good stuff. And the upside is also that I take in a FRACTION of the calories that I would have had I gotten my own. Needless to say it costs less to buy snacks if I'm not buying them for myself.

Hope this helps!! Don't commit yourself.....just commit to hang out here!

P.S. congrats on paying off DVC!!! That'll free up some money so you can buy smaller clothes!

p.s.s. edited for really lousy grammar!

Barb,
I was wondering when we'd hear from you hear at the WISH board! (something about going on a cruise really gets the inspiration juices flowing, whether you have 5 or 105 pounds to lose!) Welcome! You will find this a much friendlier board than a few of the others.

Glad to have you!

Keep the Faith!

Tracy - It really helped me diet last Sept-Nov when we were planning our Nov cruise. Now I get to loose even more weight - wait till I do step onboard that ship! Maybe I'll be wearing a bikini/tankini! Hey, thats a great way to look at this.

Yes, you can join! Welcome! The more the merrier at WISH! You have a cruise coming up, and that should serve as a great motivator. As one who has been on a DCL cruise, I can assure you there will be many stunning women who look like knockouts in their swimsuits, so why not ensure one of those knockouts is YOU! You have plenty of time to get into that bikini or tankini before you sail away, and I know you can do it!
