Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[TinkerBelle_325]

Count me in!

I'm heading to WDW in 22 days and have proudly lost 10 lbs since January. I'll be starting the south beach diet on May 7th in hopes of dropping some weigh before going. Though I will not be following any diet once I get to WDW I will be going back on South Beach once I return home.

What a great thread!

I am using Herbalife, and I have lost 18 pounds since starting March 1!

I just got back from WDW and didn't use my products while I was there, but only gained a pound on the scale and have already lost it since!

I am looking forward to participating with everyone!

Well, here I am and here's my story.
I have been on the Blood Type Diet since February but haven't been too strict since Easter. Am having trouble getting back on the 'horse'. Don't know what I weighed before I started and still don't know. I wish (no pun) I would remember to get on a scale!
Since being a gestational surrogate in 2001, the twins put on all sorts of weight on me. I haven't really tried to get the weight off until recently.
I'm going to WDW in November and am hoping to have lost atleast 60 pounds.
I am very excited to thave the support of my fellow DIS'ers!
Thanks!!

Hello,
I turned 50 last May and have put on 9 pounds in the past year. Needless to say I'm not pleased, this is not an attractive weight for me. I can't seem to "Just say No" to food these days. I'm constantly eating, never full, the proverbial bottomless pit. My only saving grace is that I exercise regularly, usually walking and/or biking (I'm the outdoorsy type). I seem to do well with the support group concept. I tried to do it with my sister and my best friend, but neither of them wanted to keep up with the daily check-in. Guess that's more my style. I'm hoping to gain inspiration from my fellow DISers and lose those 9 lbs.

I joined TOPS in January, but finally decided to get serious last week. I've got a long way to go, but I'm tired of being tired. I've failed on lots of diets in the past but I am determined to do it right this time. I'm trying to look at my long term goals and make changes in my lifestyle that I will be able to maintain. I guess it's all about developing healthy habits. Wish me luck!

Thinking I would like to start the WISH challenge, I am doing the south beach diet and tomorrow will start the second week of phase 1, I lost 5.5 pounds in the last week, for a total of 15 lbs. since March 1. Though I will be starting at zero with the challenge.

I've been putting off and putting off for the longest time, but finally rejoined Weight Watchers yesterday.

Stepping on that scale was a DEPRESSING experience...I'm determined to do something about it, even though I know it's going to take a long, long time.

I'd like to sign up for the challenge as of today.

I'm 43 years old, with about 60 lbs to lose! I started South Beach last week and joined their thread tonight.

Time to dust off my Curves membership for the exercise component!

Recently restarted Atkins, joined a group at our church called Weigh to Go.....we are reading Dr. Phils book and supporting each other. Our goal is to be a slimmer church congregation by the end of June. My goal is 15 pounds by July 31st. I have lost 3.5 since restarting Atkins.

So here I am girls....45 years old, 148.5 pounds......and ready to roll.
Thanks to all of you for the support system you have started here.

May I join too? I started SBD on Monday 5/3. What do I have to do now?

Can someone let me know when I'm officially part of the group?

Hi everyone - I haven't read through all the posts - just a few, and wonder if there are other men on here - surely I'm not the only guy that needs to lose! Anyway, my wife, son (2 1/2 yr old) and I are Disney Vets and love to go. We're going the middle of September again for our next trip and reading the post has motivated me. I lost 55 pounds last year doing SugarBusters. It's a great diet that helps you eat healthy without much exercise. I'm a United Methodist Minister and don't have an awful lot of time for exercise. Anyway, I was at 280 last year and lost to 225. I'm still right at the 228.5 mark but want to get down below 200 before September. It's amazing how much easier it is to walk around the parks without the extra 55 pounds! The ideal weight for my height is around 180 so who knows, maybe I'll get there too! I'll keep you posted - keep me in your prayers - everybody in churches thinks the preacher has just got to eat their fried chicken! Let me know and I'll pray for y'all through this too! Thanks.

Hi!

Well I started today with Atkins and working out everyday at least 20 minutes. I had lost a lot of weight for my wedding (Sept. 03) but have become a chubby wifey since. I would like to lose 35 lbs.

Thanks for letting me join in!

I'm starting a new day today and began Weight Watchers online. I have done WW before (in my early 20's) and was successful with it. It's 10 years later, and I need to lose about 30-35 pounds, and plan on celebrating with each pound lost! If can lose more than that, great, but mostly I just want to be comfortable in my own skin again. I plan on following WW's point plan and stepping up my exercise. I'm hoping by my trip to Disney that I will have lost the majority of the weight I intend to lose! What a motivator!

 

[jcemom]

I'm back! (I haven't been over here since I fell off the Atkins wagon last June, lol.) Luckily over all that time I only gained back 4 of the 10 pounds I lost last time. It could have been much worse!

I started Atkins again on Monday and hopefully can stay with it this time. I have missed how good I felt last time!

I need to stop jumping on the scale everytime I walk past it though, lol. I do know weight varies from day to day and even from one time of day to another, but I can't help myself! ugh! Starting today I am planning on Monday weigh-ins, making it weekly, and otherwise I'm staying off the scale! lol

(Looking to lose about 30 ponds, but would be happy with 20.)

Hi everyone. I've finally had enough and am dedicated to losing 30 pounds. Thanks for letting me join with you. Atkins, here I come!

 

[Cinderellafifi]

I started the SBD a week ago and I hope to lose 20 pounds. I've lost 5 so far...but it's tough! I have a petite frame so every pound counts.

I am also a scale addict. I also cannot walk by without hoping on - and I know I not learning anything as weight fluctuates.

Good luck to us!!!

I started about 8 weeks ago, and have lost 15 pounds as of today. I'm seriously restricting my calorie intake, and doing 30 minutes on my Gazelle elliptical machine 4-5 mornings a week. My goal is to lose another 30-40 pounds. 40 pounds would be where I was in high school - that would be quite a feat for a 35-year-old who has had two children, LOL!

I started WW online yesterday. I plan to exercise and follow the WW plan. I hope to lose 25 pounds. After having 4 children within 5 years, I am ready to look thin and trim again!

I need the motivation now. I was doing good about 2 years ago, going to the gym before work, weights, elliptical. People were noticing and I got down to my goal weight! I vowed I would never again slip into my bad habits, but I did....I stopped going to the gym, workouts got harder and now I haven't seriously worked out for over a year. I need to get back into my good habits! I can't go back to the gym because it's just too early for me to work out so I'll have to do it at home after work. Cardio: maybe go for walks around the neighborhood...I'd prefer to jog, but I haven't been able to for awhile due to bursitis symptoms in my hips. I also have a Nordic Track, but I hate it, it's boring. Of course there are my dumbbells looking at me now....

I think I'll start with brown bagging a healthy lunch for work tomorrow. Let's see...it's 8:30...might have time for a few sets before bed...see, you guys are helping me already!

My goal is to get back to 135-140 lbs. by my 45th birthday in September. I'm probably somewhere around 160 now.

Thanks. I'll check in again later.
