September 2011 - The Planning Has Started!!!

[ThereYouSeeHer]

Hmm, some say to start a new thread and some say to just leave it here. Now I'm not sure. lol We can leave it here for a week or two and see how it goes. If it doesn't go well, then I can start a new thread. How does that sound?

Question: What are your top 3-5 favorite healthy snacks?

Anything I can load with lemon or vinegar!

1. Steamed broccoli w/ lemon and vinegar
2. Chick peas w/ vinegar
3. Chobani Greek Yogurt (just had a peach one)

My goal is to lose 15 pounds before our cruise in September. It will be our 7th wedding anniversary and I want to get back to my wedding weight by then. We honeymooned in the Bahamas and will be returning to the Bahamas for our cruise. I want to make sure I look the way I did when we first got married and went to the islands 7 years ago! So exciting to be taking our children back to the area where it all began!

Are those better than regular yogurt?

Yay! I have at least 1 person who's with me! I'm not sure we should really take over this thread with a lot of weight loss posts though. Should I start a new thread? I know there is another weight loss thread on here, but I feel its a bit intimidating since its already so big. If that even makes sense...

Don't worry my youngest just turned 3 and I finally back in a 4 as of last month. It seem like I was stuck in a 8 forever. I can wear some 2's but I happy with what it is now. I'm going on 36 and just figure it is what it is and after having 2 c-sections that I'm never going to be stick thin again.

I'll support you all in your weight loss!!!

DH and I started a WW last September and I've lost 35lbs. I started with a 20lb goal and that came off pretty quickly, so I went to 30lbs. I was at that for about 4 months and then, just this week, I lost another 5lbs. Of course, that was probably due to being sick, but I haven't added it back yet.

I have really changed my ideas of food since we started. I find that I crave food that is healthier because I want "fresh". I still have my Mickey D's every once in a while and we eat out 1-2 times a week, but I haven't felt like this program has been difficult.

DH has lost about 20lbs, but he still has more to go. He's a little discouraged because I'm not as hardcore as I was at the beginning. I'm able to be a little more flexible because I have been maintaining my weight for the past few months.

Way better, but here they are way more expensive too.

1. raw carrots
2. dry cheerios or chex
3. dried cherries

Do you like yogurt? I was thinking of doing the Yoplait 2 week tune up.

I haven't heard of it. Googling now... I actually kind of hate yogurt. It's a pure texture thing, but I need to start liking it.

That's exactly how I am! Yoplait has a few flavors that I actually like... surprisingly!

They are thicker, so more filling. I like the Chobani brand the best. I feel like it's worth the extra price increase because I can eat less, yet feel more satisfied. I also eat Dannon All Natural Vanilla yogurt in the big tub.

I'm getting ready to head out for a long walk with my boys. It is currently really sunny and 50 degrees. I better go out now since its supposed to rain in a little bit.

I have an ADR question, I hope someone can help me out.

How much do I have to pay for CRT? Is it a deposit or the entire amount? Also, I am on the dining plan so how will that work?

And.. I can make BBB and Pirate's League reservations at the same time? Do I pay up front for those or when we get there?

TIA!!


4 days till ADRs!!!

Count me in with all you Dis Dietors. I have started one diet after another it seems since last year. Being on insulin for my diabeties works against me , I had quit smokeing and lost 20 lbs then the Dr switched me from oral meds to insulin and it has just been one constant struggle, was at the Dr last week and weighed in at 14 pounds heavier than when I lost the 20 lbs

I also found out I am lactose intolerant so had to give up my yogurt snack.

If I could just lose 30-40 lbs I would feel so much better and maybe my back would not hurt when I am out and standing/walking for any length of tme.

It is a nice day here too L Harper, I just came in from walking the dog.

Right now my 3 snacks are

Baby carrots
String Cheese
Cucumber slices in vinegar

I made my ADR's last week and for CRT, if you are on the dining plan, you will have to give them a credit card # for a guarantee but they won't charge your card unless you don't show up for the meal.

Actually, it would be best if you had an breakfast ADR in MK and then made sure you got in line BEFORE rope drop. It what we did, and we were 3rd in line. By rope drop the line was all ready long. If you want your kids to partake in the "show" ( check my TR, I'll have details soon) you must be in the first 20 kids so. All others in line only get pics until next show. The line Never dies down either. We walked past later in the day and the line for the next show ( 2 1/2 hours later) was up to the castle!



I wouldn't suggest having one person stand while the rest go off. The CM's count with a clicker, and I've seen others get mad when addtional people pop into the cue. A whole family popped in behind us, with the fam behind us, and we heard complaints.

Go towards the castle, and veer right at the path just before the castle. It's right at the end of the path. It's taken the place of Belle's story time.

Ok, I remember where Belle's storytime was located. I didn't know Rapunzel and Flynn were doing a show.....just figured they were there for autographs and pics!

Thanks for the idea on the ADR before RD. So you had enough time to eat and still get in line for Rapunzel before RD?

After my experience with booking CRT online the last couple years, I CALLED them to make my ADR this year so I could just give them my credit card info for a guarantee. We are always on the dining plan too, but the last 2 times I tried to make the CRT ADR online, it made me pay for it with my credit card even though I'm on the dining plan and then I had to tell them about it when we got there so it could be switched to dining plan credits, and then wait a couple weeks for them to reimburse my cc. Pain in the butt!! So....last week I called them to make the ADR for this trip so I wouldn't have to go to all that trouble again. lol.

I made my BBB ressie at the same time as when I called for CRT. You just need a cc guarantee for that too. You can pay for it when you get there and you can choose any package you want when you get there as well.

I'm going on 36 and just figure it is what it is and after having 2 c-sections that I'm never going to be stick thin again.

I'm with ya on that!! I've delivered 3 kids....2 were c-sections. It wasn't until after my 3rd child that I didn't go back to a size 0-2. I don't know what it is exactly, but it sucks getting old (going on 35, lol). I'd love to lose about 15 lbs before our trip. I've never really tried to lose weight. It will probably be a challenge for me since I'm used to eating whatever junk I want. lol

 

[dizziedupbaby0127]

OMG I'm in too! After highschool I gained almost 60lbs (freshman 60 I call it)
Lost 10 when I first got preggers (morning sickness the ENTIRE pregancy) and gained another 35 lbs being pregnant once the dr got my morning sickness under control (Thank you Zofran) Now 1 year later I have lost 10 lbs of baby weight and still have like 80 to go! Realistically tho, I would like 60lbs! So I am in!

I love Chocolate! I can't eat yogart (makes my tummy sick) I like the slim-fast chocolate protein shakes, honey-nut cheerios but hate those rice-cake snack things! I reciently started eating a lot of fruit for lunch too, hate veggies! but try to get them in with dinner

Oooh, I LOVE all of those snacks too! You're making me hungry! lol.

I'm sure losing weight while on insulin is quite the challenge. Here's some pixie dust for you!

My dh loves cucumbers and onions in vinegar! We fight for the cucumbers from the garden because I like them plain and he wants to smother them with vinegar.
