Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[lovesgrumpy]

This is the first time I've seen this site--what a wonderful idea!! I certainly do want to join. I had started the Dr. Phil eating plan and lost 22 pounds, but I have slipped off the "successs wagon" and gained back 4 of those hard lost pounds. I really need to climb back on that wagon and get back to the business of losing those totally unwanted pounds! I would like to lose about 105 pounds.

Thanks for this great opportunity! Has anyone else followed tghe Dr. Phil eating plan?

Tomorrow, I will start being good for the health of it!!!

Hi! I'd like to join in!

I've been following the Atkins plan for the past 15 months and have lost 100 lbs so far. I love it! I have been slowing down as I get closer to goal though and am getting discouraged. I'd still like to lose another 20 lbs, originally hoped to do it by my Disney trip Dec 3rd, but I realize that's not happening now. But, closer would be nice.

I plan to drink 90 oz of water a day
exercise 3 times a week
and follow Atkins induction for another full week then move up a bit to the OWL section.

Great idea, I look forward to getting to know the rest of you well. Thanks!

I'm in! I used to go the gym and run 4 miles everday and I have slacked off over the last few months and eaten awful food. Now I'm looking to get back into going to the gym at least 5 times a week averaging about 22 miles of running and watching calories so I can drop these annoying 10 extra lbs I have hanging around on my body!

I'm a gal of large proportions and I'm a gonna take this challenge! I've already started and I can say I've lost 5 whopping pounds so far!
I resolve to eat healthier and to get my family to eat healthier!

I am so glad I looked to she what this WISH board was all about.

I had been doing pretty well with Atikins and Cruves and then I broke my ankle -- nothing too big just enough too keep me down for a time...

But now I have gotten the AOK to go back and I am ready to hit it full guns (is that how the saying goes?)

So tomorrow's plan is back on induction and workout at Curves 7:00 AM - (and yes DR I will take it easy on the recovery boards)

I am looking forward to checking in with others and seeing how you support one another --

The DIS boards are such a magical place!!!

I went to my circuit training class last night! A great feat since I was exhausted from my Disneyland trip. I logged in my walking minutes from the parks on the YMCA computer too. I will take all the exercise credits I can get. So far so good today.

I gained 8 lbs on my cruise last week and need to lose that. I want to lose 70lbs by my next cruise. I am doing WW points

Being fairly new to the DISboards, for the last couple of weeks I've seen the W.I.S.H. clipart in many many members posts, and was incredibly curious. I could tell it was a type of weight-loss support group located somewhere upon these multitudes of boards and threads and topics, and I was dying to get involved.

Well, tonight I finally managed to navigate my way here, so of course I would like to join up!

My name is Billie, I'm a 23-almost-24-year-old gal living in Savannah, GA. My SO and I have been on-and-off of WW FlexPoints for some time now, and are bound and determined that this week, we are going to get serious about it again. I know you said it's not necessary to post specifics, but for me it's somewhat liberating to openly admit to the challenge before me.

I'm a large-framed woman standing 6-foot-tall exactly. My weight at this current time is 330 pounds. According to my research, a healthy weight for me is 190 pounds... So that's what I'm shooting for my final goal. My overall goal is to lose a total of 140 pounds.

Also, in preparation of our upcoming WDW trip, my SO and I both are trying to make strides at exercising more. Tonight, we purchased DanceDanceRevolution for our Playstation 2, and the dance floor pad to play it. Tonight, in a matter of 30 minutes of playing (and I do mean playing... it's so much fun!) that dancing game on "Workout Mode," she did an exercise routine equivalent to jogging almost an entire mile. It's wonderful!

I, however, am the most rhythm-impaired person on the face of this earth, and tonight the game more discouraged me than anything else. However, we both plan to get us some really good walking/running shoes, and getting our butts outside every evening and walking towards getting in better shape as well.

Okay, well there's my story. I can't wait to get to know all of the wonderful folks here at W.I.S.H!!

Additionally, I don't know if anybody has noticed, but there are QUITE a-many broken links for the clip art. LOL I'm actually quite eager to see what they all look like, and what I have to look forward to.

Also, I'm proud to say that I'm rather quite fond of Photoshop and image editing. While I'm sure you rarely get folks who need clip art for more than 125 pounds of weight-loss, I would be delighted to make more clipart for 125 pounds up through 150 (or more if you'd like!). Just say the word, and I'll get right on it!

 

[mom3princesses]

I would love to join this challenge. I will be doing Weight Watchers starting today. My goal is to lose 50 lbs and be healthy for the first time in my life!

 

[mom23boys]

Hi, new to this board.

I am doing Atkins, did it last year and gained it all back. But this time I am totally motivated, I am exercising 4 times a week and doing the Introduction Phase of Atkins.

Thanks for a great board.

Please count me in..

To tell you a little about myself.. I am 34 years old and my current weight is 220.. I cant believe I am at that weight!! I once weighed 250 and lost down to 200.. About 3 years ago I was at 190, but my weight has fluctuated between 190 and 220 ever since then.. I yo yo so much that I am getting discouraged!! I have been seeing alot of the wish clipart on the different boards lately and decided to make my way over here tonight.. I had already planned on starting my Atkins induction tomorrow. So that is how I plan to start out.. I will exercise each day and drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water every day!.. I have vacation in March and would love to lose some of this weight by then..

Ok enough of my ranting on.... I hope to be able to add my 5 pound loss to my clipart soon.. I hope to be a loser!!

 

[eeyore kelly]

I plan on cutting way back on all sweets, eating smaller portions, and with my new job, I will be getting more exercise. On my days off, I plan on walking for 1/2 hour.

 

[cindym]

I'm joining up too! I've been going to Curves and have lost seven pounds. I'm determined to lose the additional forty pounds I have gained over the past ten years.

 

[kikipug]

I'm new to the DIS boards, and it took me a few days to find the whole 'wish challenge' thing... so here's my wish...

By the time that clock on the bottom reaches ZERO, I want to be able to comfortably wear a 2 pc bathing suit (not a tankini)... despite the fact that I'll be 38 by then!!! Last time I wore one was on my first trip to WDW in 1988...

You have to understand- I have NO willpower, and HATE to exercise- but now that I have posted it in public, I am going to have to do SOMETHING!

It will take about 20 lbs... and I think there are abs in there somewhere.... WISH me luck!!

OK- here's the disclaimer... I can't start til after Thanksgiving... I have til Dec 1 to psych myself into this one!!!

 

[way2manykids]

I think this is so neat. I am doing weight watchers old exchange program. I started 2 weeks ago. I had 130lbs to lose and I have lost the 1st 10lbs. I would like to be able to walk in the WDW marathon next year. I am walking regularly now to get ready for my Dec 19th WDW trip. I figured why stop there?
I am having trouble with the banner. I followed the directions, but it doesn't come up. It just shows text. Help.

 

[way2manykids]

having trouble getting member clippy. followed directions. did not see "update profile." saw "edit profile" and "edit signature." tried "edit signature" and it stayed in text, no banner. Help please.

 

[jay-nee]

I have officially weighed myself and I am ready to join. I have 37 lbs to my goal of 155 lbs. God, I can't believe that I actually weigh 192 lbs, wow!

I gained this all since summer '03, scary how fast I gained that much weight. I was told that I had a severe bone bruise on my left knee and to stop walking the 3-5 miles a day that I was logging in back then and to start biking. Too bad that I had fallen in love with walking by then.

I am trying to start falling in love with biking again (what I did in college constantly). Too bad that I didn't start earlier but...better to start now rather than never.

Hope to "meet" and get to know some of you during our journeys to health again...

 

[barbarabee]

Add me to the WISH list! I started Weight Watchers two months ago, and when the holidays hit I stopped losing. I really need extra motivation, because I've got close to...well...I do have 30 pounds to lose! There's a trip to WDW in May, and it would be great if I could have the weight gone by then. So, now I can't weight (wait) to get started, and the DISers are so supportive how can I not be successful?!

 

[Scoootch]

Just checking in

Been in O.A. now for about 6 weeks and as of this past Sunday I'm now down 15lbs!! Yay!! Wish I could get my clippie to change - new boards are having signature issues. But...at least I can up it to 15lbs now!! Whoo-hoo!

 

[sunkissed212]

I need a "10 lb" clip art! Just got on the scale this morning before work and was ecstatic to see I had lost 10lbs!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

nevermind....I scrolled down a little on the thread page and found it!
