Sebastian's STRONG and SVELTE Under the Sea September W.I.S.H. Weight Loss Challenge - All Welcome!

[courtneybeth]

With the next day or two being birthday celebrations, I opted to weigh in today. I'm a bit fearful what the scale would say after eating at Blue Bayou... not only is the food amazing but with @JacknSally 's point, you're eating inside a ride.

Weight: 169 ... down 2.5 pounds.
Progress: 5/8 or 62.5%

I think I may indulge and reward myself with that birthday dessert. I haven't touched my weeklies this week and I should enjoy a micro-cupcake with Mickey's face on it.

QOTD - September 18

It's Friday!!! And that means it is time to start the check-ins; anytime over the weekend is fine. I'll get the list posted Sunday night.

How did the week go for everyone? Big weekend plans? Or is anyone lucky enough to get to stay home and nest?

I hope you all have a fantastic end of the week!!

Great Friday.....I am down 4 pounds for the month, so I'm at 100% of my goal! I went to the gym today. This was the joy I found there: I got a compliment on my hair. I gave a compliment to a gentleman. I talked to a new member and we compared workout programs. I got a compliment on my "pink scooter." All these little things can make you feel so good! The things you find when you are really looking is amazing!

 

[ThistleMae]

Check in! I'm at 205.2 today, which puts me down 2.4 overall or 31.5%. 3/5 workouts are complete for 60% of that goal. That gives me a grand total of 45.75%. Woohoo!!

As far as the weekend, I had intended menu planning, grocery shopping, and a hike with the pup. Until DH came out while I was drinking my tea this morning and said that he might have inadvertently invited 15 people for dinner tomorrow. The house is a mess. The pantry is bare. The freezer is bare. Several of the people are vegan. Three are gluten free (including one of the vegans). And our friends are well trained that I do not do potluck. I like to entertain. I like to come up with menus that feed everyone safely and well. I like to do the cooking myself. But it takes time. And notice. And we both have to work all day. Tentative plan is to rush clean the house tonight. DH will sterilize the kitchen to get rid of gluten particles while I shop in the morning and then we will somehow throw together a taco party. Still I'm so not happy! Grrr.

Planning to get together meal plan and groceries for the week in Sunday, meet up with a friend for lunch, and somehow get Lexi at least a short hike so she doesn't eat the house in boredom next week.

Luckily, I already have our QOTW all ready to go. Just needs to be cut and pasted into place tomorrow!

OMG! I guess you are going to be "wonder woman" this weekend!

 

[ThistleMae]

This weekend, I'm eating chili, going to see a play at Bread and Puppet and booking my FP+! I'm kinda frustrated with it already, trying to figure out which park, which day, what time...... I'll report back on Monday with particulars. Happy Weekend to All! Stay Strong...we have one more week to go!

 

[webcreatrix]

Another long day gone in the blink of an eye.... I really need two more hours in every day. Three would be nice but I will settle for two.



Welcome to you (and any other lurkers)! We would love for you to join us!!

Thank you for the welcome. I really need to join you ladies here. I find this group very encouraging and inspiring. I just shared this over on the WW chat, but will join this group as well:

Hi, everyone. I would love to join y'all. I was at my heaviest weight ever after my 10 year old son was born. Yes, I'm going back THAT FAR. When he was 6-8 weeks old and I realize the weight wasn't going to come off by itself, I joined WW and started doing Turbo Jam and went from 215 to 136 and was in the best shape of my life at almost 40 years old.

Unfortunately, I hit a very big snag when I tore some ligaments in my hip after a 5 mile hill run and spent years going through orthopedic doctors, steroid shots, PT, etc. I became depressed as I watched all my hard work slide away and slipped back into bad habits, started drinking too much wine, and now I'm right back where I started and very disappointed about it.

I NEED to get back on the wagon, but I get frustrated as I feel like I'm starting from ground zero. Because I am. My slips always end in slides. I've signed up for WW again and have used the chat feature once to get back on track, but I have yet to stick with the program since I rejoined.

One thing I think that helped the first time around was that I had a great support group of fellow WW friends on one of my Turbo Jam boards. Not only were they having successes, but they somehow convinced me my goals were achievable. Having lost so much weight before, I know they are, but I'm looking forward to having some online accountability by checking in with you ladies.

After gaining some of the weight back, I maintained for quite a long time at 175 and a size 14. I gained another 45(!!!) after I quit smoking. So, at 46 with a bum-ish hip, my goal is NOT to work out 6 hours a week and weigh 136, but first just to get back into my size 14s. Then we'll see from there!

 

[Dentam]

Sorry I've been MIA from this thread most of the month. We were in WDW from the 5th-12th and I got sick on the 10th. Been pretty sick since then but starting to get better with the help of awesome antibiotics!

Anyway, my goal for the month was to lose 6-8 lbs. I was thinking that all of the eating on our trip would set me back, but combined with all the walking we did and then being sick for so long, I've actually lost about 4lbs so far!

You are so welcomed to be here! The folks in here are a tremendous support...very positive group. We encourage one another each and every day to do our best. We set reasonable goals so we can have successes. Stick with us kiddo.....we are happy to have you!

 

[DVCFan1994]

Quick flyby for me ... I've been MIA, so I wanted to stop in and say hi!
I don't have time to chat, but I hope everyone is having a good month so far (and/or working towards having a great second half of the month)! My Wednesday weigh-in was up a lot, but I'm not surprised because I fell off the wagon a bit early this week. Hopefully tomorrow's weigh-in will be better, but we'll see.

In terms of today's QOTD ...
When running I have a pretty weird mix - some rap, some rock, some alternative ... it's a little of a lot of things. Today's run started with "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys and ended with "Run This Town" by Jay-Z ... with some pretty random stuff in between.
Otherwise it's whatever I'm in the mood for. I tend to listen to a lot of Disney music while cleaning... I guess I'm hoping that if I listen to music from Cinderella while cleaning, my fairy godmother will help me get to the ball too!

Love the Dropkick Murphys for runs. "Tessie" is on my list

I wish I could have her little birds come help me clean my house... Or even better, be able to snap like Mary Poppins and have everything jump into place! I won't lie, I have often cleaned to the happy working song from Enchanted. Haha!

If you find the little birds, send them on to my house

YES!!!!!!! You're going to keep on shrinking until your wedding date and be surprised at just how small you are. Try on your Disney clothes and see if you can return them for a smaller size?



We finished cleaning out the old apartment tonight and the keys get turned in tomorrow... on my birthday! Birthday dinner at Blue Bayou tomorrow, followed by a shopping morning with the Mother In Law to celebrate our joint-birthday and then her dinner on Sunday. Oh and I'm apparently suppose to answer two case studies (2 pages per report) and work on the MBA team projects (there are two).


One of our MBA projects is to discuss putting a Disney theme park into an assigned country. Every team in the class got a different country. It's like a dream! Our country is India so we not only have to research India but look into the launch process from start to finish, using Hong Kong and Paris as reference on what to do and not do. Our other project is comparing the strategic advantage of Regal Cinemas and AMC Theatres, so there will be a few movie trips coming up "for research"

Sounds like a buys few days! Hope you had a great birthday!

Morning all! No time to read/reply as I've gotta dash in 10 minutes...... teaching Kindergarten again today (but a different class) and then training in the afternoon (so that I can proctor tests later this month). Then I got a last minute call to work maintenance tonight, so I'll do that from 3-8..... so do NOT count on hearing from me again today.... It will be a LOOOONNNGG day, but the paycheck will be worth it! Just 26 days until I'm on my way to Bermuda and I need EVERY EXTRA CENT. I PROMISED myself that if I took this trip that it wouldn't make a negative impact on what I was able to save for tuition... so I MUST work extra. That being said, my Mom paying for the resort was a BONUS I hadn't counted on, so I should be fine.... but every penny counts, right?!

On topic..... I am down ONE POUND today and I am THRILLED!! Doesn't sound like much, but it is HUGE for me.... plus it means I have lost three weeks in a row..... love a good DOWNWARD TREND! Can't WAIT to track this on my graph!!

Off to refill my coffee and get ready for a busy day! I'll pop on tomorrow to see how everyone is doing! Happy FRIDAY y'all!!..................P

Congratulation on the one pound. I'd love to see a pound down, so I think it is fantastic.

Ugh I totally forgot to WI this morning, will set out my scale to remember tomorrow

Me too!

QOTD - September 18

It's Friday!!! And that means it is time to start the check-ins; anytime over the weekend is fine. I'll get the list posted Sunday night.

How did the week go for everyone? Big weekend plans? Or is anyone lucky enough to get to stay home and nest?

I hope you all have a fantastic end of the week!!

Well I have a busy morning tomorrow, and plans in the afternoon, but I just found out my mom wants to take the kids for the night tomorrow. So unexpected date night

My week went great nutrition and exercise wise. But at least of this morning, scale still isn't moving. Grrr. I've decided that my body is confused by a lot of changes at once and is waiting it out to see what sticks. So, I think I am getting used to the idea September is going to be my set-up month before I totally rock October.

HAPPIEST OF HAPPY FRIDAYS TO ALL MY LOSER FRIENDS!

Boy am I ever excited it's Friday. This week has been soooooo loooooonnnnggggggggggggg. But today is looking up! Got a comparatively decent amount of sleep last night, so I was up on time this morning (later than I had planned because I was hoping for an overly ambitious morning, but still plenty early enough to get ready for work without feeling frantic), was able to pull out the piko and printed yoga pants to wear today (WOOOOOO for comfy Friday!), left early enough to stop by Starbucks on my way in and use my free reward on a chai latte, and made it to work on time! Plus I did all of my work for today yesterday, so I don't have anything to do for another hour or so when the mail gets here.



Plus, I weighed in this morning at 200.6lbs! That's a loss of 4.9/5.6lbs, putting me at 88% of my September goal, with just 0.7-lbs to go.

@courtneybeth I didn't make it down to 199 yet, but I'm 1-lb closer! I'm going to weigh again this weekend (probably Sunday, after I've been able to get a full night's sleep tomorrow) and hopefully my number will be even lower. We shall see!

Great job!

Kudos to everyone for all their hard work paying off!

@courtneybeth ! Enjoy that dinner at Blue Bayou tonight.

@JacknSally you are so, so close to ONE-derland -- it's right around the riverbend.

Some place upthread folks were talking about sparkleskirts. I have been buying sparkleskirts from sparkleskirts.com for years. I love the tech skirts -- I can pack all the stuff I need for a whole half marathon, including water bottles, gels, iphone and Anker portable battery in one of those. And they last for years. I am just finally having to retire two I bought in 2011. They are made in the USA and the owner, Leah, is a very nice person.



I was down 1.8 at WW yesterday which brings me to a total of 5 pounds down out of my 5 pound goal for the month or 100%
I cannot tell you the last time I actually hit my monthly goal on one of these threads. And now I have a six week losing streak and going for seven.

Yesterday was a little crazy so happy about my weigh in and then got that call no one wants to get "Mom, I've been in an accident." Luckily everyone is okay and cars can be fixed and I had plenty of points for booze last night.

I have a 10k on Sunday. This is the race I've been training for with my running group all summer. It should be a lot of fun.

Have a great week-end all!

Great weigh in! Good luck on the 10k. That is by far my favorite distance Long enough that I feel like I accomplished something bigger than a normal run day, but shorter enough that it does not destroy me for the rest of the day. Have fun!

Check in! I'm at 205.2 today, which puts me down 2.4 overall or 31.5%. 3/5 workouts are complete for 60% of that goal. That gives me a grand total of 45.75%. Woohoo!!

Great weigh in! Congratulations. Husbands are the best aren't they Its awesome when they make huge commitments without discussing them first

Awesome! I'm going to try these out! When I have wifi I listen to Reedy Creek Radio but they tend to have cycles and I end up listening to the same thing. Not that it's bad but I'm looking for more variety. And I'll have to look into the album. I NEED MORE DISNEY! lol


I weighed this morning and it wasn't great so I'm going to behave today and hope that my official weigh in tomorrow is a little better. I'm not surprised as it's been a rough week and there has been a lot of stress and hormonal eating and bad decisions. It just always stinks to see a gain . But I know that it happens, even if you do everything perfectly so I'm trying to just let it go and see what happens tomorrow.

For weekend plans my DH, MIL and BIL have their last 10k. It was a part of a 10k series where than ran 3 in 4 weekends. I'm sitting this one out as the last one was rough and I am still not trained and afraid I might injure myself if I try it again. DH works on Saturday so I'm not sure what I'll be doing! Saturdays are so boring without him, I usually just end up sitting at home thinking about how bored I am lol.

Knowing when you need a break is an important thing to learn. I hope you think of something fun to do tomorrow!

Fingers crossed for a good WI. Maybe a bored Saturday is just what you need after a stressful week.

You are so close! Let's not count any 'official' numbers until Sunday's cutoff because I just know you're going to make it! Keep up the hard work and don't let the stress of this week get you down. Sometimes in the midst of adversity and insanity we find ourselves rising to the challenge and we do better than we originally thought. Having two good night's sleep in a row and not thinking about work things will definitely make a difference. Let's get you to that magic number.



THANK YOU! I'm going to take some pictures and share with the group so it'll feel like you guys were there with me. Even though in the last few months it has felt like you have all been there with me -- cheering me on and supporting me. I've enjoyed doing the same for all of you. This place is really a positivity bubble and pixie dust.

I also think that the weekend is going to bring a whole new scale century to someone on this board....

Looking forward to birthday pics! The pixie dust bubble here is always a highlight of my day!!

Awesome job!!!

This weekend, I'm eating chili, going to see a play at Bread and Puppet and booking my FP+! I'm kinda frustrated with it already, trying to figure out which park, which day, what time...... I'll report back on Monday with particulars. Happy Weekend to All! Stay Strong...we have one more week to go!

I'm looking forward to the FP+ report. I've stuck with DL since the switch and my upcoming trip will be my first experience and it is making my planner happy self very nervous.

Thank you for the welcome. I really need to join you ladies here. I find this group very encouraging and inspiring. I just shared this over on the WW chat, but will join this group as well:

Hi, everyone. I would love to join y'all. I was at my heaviest weight ever after my 10 year old son was born. Yes, I'm going back THAT FAR. When he was 6-8 weeks old and I realize the weight wasn't going to come off by itself, I joined WW and started doing Turbo Jam and went from 215 to 136 and was in the best shape of my life at almost 40 years old.

Unfortunately, I hit a very big snag when I tore some ligaments in my hip after a 5 mile hill run and spent years going through orthopedic doctors, steroid shots, PT, etc. I became depressed as I watched all my hard work slide away and slipped back into bad habits, started drinking too much wine, and now I'm right back where I started and very disappointed about it.

I NEED to get back on the wagon, but I get frustrated as I feel like I'm starting from ground zero. Because I am. My slips always end in slides. I've signed up for WW again and have used the chat feature once to get back on track, but I have yet to stick with the program since I rejoined.

One thing I think that helped the first time around was that I had a great support group of fellow WW friends on one of my Turbo Jam boards. Not only were they having successes, but they somehow convinced me my goals were achievable. Having lost so much weight before, I know they are, but I'm looking forward to having some online accountability by checking in with you ladies.

After gaining some of the weight back, I maintained for quite a long time at 175 and a size 14. I gained another 45(!!!) after I quit smoking. So, at 46 with a bum-ish hip, my goal is NOT to work out 6 hours a week and weigh 136, but first just to get back into my size 14s. Then we'll see from there!

We are so happy to have you with us! This group is AMAZING!! And the support is particularly great at stopping the slips before you've totally off the rails. I just rejoined WW again on Tuesday and the leader closed with a new mantra is stuck in my head - it is never too late in the day to get back on plan. Waiting until "tomorrow" is what has always caused me to fail in the past and while my past few months have definitely not been all diet roses and sunshine, it is time to make this happen and reporting here makes that happen.

Sorry I've been MIA from this thread most of the month. We were in WDW from the 5th-12th and I got sick on the 10th. Been pretty sick since then but starting to get better with the help of awesome antibiotics!

Anyway, my goal for the month was to lose 6-8 lbs. I was thinking that all of the eating on our trip would set me back, but combined with all the walking we did and then being sick for so long, I've actually lost about 4lbs so far!

Scale loss is always great! But I'm sorry that being sick was part of the means of getting there. Hope you feel much better soon and that it didn't hurt the trip too much!

 

[PTownGirls]

Hmmm. I wrote today's question and I don't even know how to answer it. Things aren't going all that well for me and I'm making some big changes as a result.

The great news is that today marks my 3 month tracking anniversary - every bite of food, every step, every biceps curl - has been logged since June 15th and I consider that both on plan and huge.

The good news is that I've regained the control I seemed to have lost in August. My eating habits have normalized. I'm not so fixated on salt and sugar.

The bad news is that while I've gotten pretty good at maintaining, I'm not really losing.

The ugly news is that I'm still not working out. Thanks to public transportation and the always up for a walk Lexi, my step count is high. But I need more. The muscles must become stronger.

So I'm not changing my goals but I am changing my plan. Enter Weight Watchers. Again. I'm not super comfortable with this decision but something needs to change. I'm going to give it my all for four months - meetings, coaching, e-tools, the works - and see what happens. The meeting I went to this morning was GREAT and alleviated at least a few of the concerns I had leftover from my last WW experience. And I am going to continue to co-track on MFP to see if that makes me feel better about the what-am-I-eating side of this.

So.... Onward!

Sounds like you are definitely focused and heading in the right direction !!! Good Luck! Stay focused.

 

[PTownGirls]

My mini goal for the week was to get over 20,000 steps Monday - Friday of this week !!!! I did it, Now to see if it shows on the scale tomorrow morning. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

 

[DisPup75]

Great [GALLERY=][/GALLERY]weigh in! Congratulations. Husbands are the best aren't they Its awesome when they make huge commitments without discussing them first

I'm so glad that it isn't just my husband! Still can't quite figure out how you accidentally invite a large group of people to dinner but after being married to the man for almost twenty years, I shouldn't be surprised.

House is now clean enough and grocery list is made so I think we can pull this off. A bad decision to emoji pizza for dinner (curse Dominos and that fun little feature) resulted in me eating a chunk of my weekly points because I was starving and ate more than planned. The good behavior was that I did track before I ate and had a plan to make it work. The bad behavior was that I didn't stop eating after I ate what I had tracked. It didn't help that the only produce left in the house is some wilted celery and a few cloves of garlic. That is of course why the weekly points exist (and I'm perfectly happy to eat both those and my activity points) but it will make the weekend a little tougher.

Hi, is it too late to join? Sounds like a great group! I don't want the monthly expense of WW right now (I need to commit to myself first.)

 

[DVCFan1994]

Weigh in was the same, 134.5. Not shocked, but still disappointing.

It's annoying, for years I was frustrated I couldn't get under 130. 122 is my goal, just a bit less than the middle of the healthy weight range for my height. Now I'd be thrilled to even make it to 130 or 133 for that matter. Instead, I'm continuing to hover between 134-136.5 day to day. I can't seem to get under 134. I was within 50 calories +\- of my daily allotment every day this week which is set to a 1.5 pound/per week deficit. I have exercised for an hour or more daily everyday but one this week. I just don't know what the hold up is???

Welcome!!! We are always happy to have new folks here! All you need is a goal for the rest of the month and a plan for how to get there. We look forward to chatting!!

Stupid scale! Any chance some of it is hormone related? When I look back at my charts, it is clear that I lose the most at certain times of the month while the rest of the month is pretty flat. Also, how are the clothes fitting? You are working out so much that you might be getting body composition changes.

 

[dsnyfn1022]

WI this morning was up 1 pound. Very frustrating because it's pretty unlikely that I'll hit goal for this month. I made some bad eating decisions last night so needless to say I'm happy that the weekend is here and to have a fresh start because I'm motivated to hit the ground running.

I know I made some poor choices this past week. I didn't work out like I had been, lots of stress, lots of bad eating...the perfect storm for a gain.

I also have been really bad with "bites, licks, and tastes" this past week. Like measuring out peanut butter for my rice cake for breakfast and then dipping the knife back in the jar to get a little extra. All these little things that seem like no big deal but can add up. So I'm going to watch that this week too.

I haven't thought of anything fun to do today other than gym. Hope everyone's WI this weekend is successful!

QOTW - September 19/20​

What are your one or two best tips for staying on plan and getting healthy? Any tried and true secrets? Special magic foods that fill you up and stop the munchies? Methods for getting out of bed and into that workout? Superheroes hidden in your closet that pave the way to success?
