Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[smwf71]

I am taking the WISH challenge! I am a WW lifetimer, but still have to lose to get back to my personal goal since I had a baby seven months ago. I have about 18-20 pounds to go to be where I'd like. I walk 30 minutes in the am and I'm starting this new year really trying to keep track of my points. I am not going to the WW meetings because I have so much else to do - I know that's bad, but I got my scale out and I'm weighing once a week - Mon at 8 AM- I have a trip to WDW on 4-1 - would love to be in a size ten by then - I'm sure 8 is just a dream - I am a 12 or 14 now I'm 5'11" and about 175 - would like to be 155 - we'll see! Once I figure this WISH board out I will check in regularly! Best of luck to all!

wow this is great. I dont mind telling my weight, it will be a thing of the past soon!!! i weigh 158 I am 5'1" so my body mass index is a bit above average. I did participate in weight watchers , which worked but i'd rather excercise then count points. my goal is 120-125 ( and a brazillian bikini for my next disney vaca!!) this looks loke a fun way to motivate yourself. although while on vacation i steer away from my diet!!!

thanks for the chance to make friends and lose weight in a healthy way.

I posted an introduction to myself, but am officially putting my name on the list here.

I've already lost almost 90 lbs in 2002-3, but am ready to finish up the journey by adding another 50.

I'm ready to take the WISH Challenge! Hopefully this extra support will give me the motivation I need! I want to lose 50 pounds and follow the WW program. I actually need to lose more than that but I thought I would concentrate on an amount that seems manageable. I can't wait to start reading all the helpful info on this board. My first new rule: No more snacking while using the computer!!!

 

[deanna2426]

I am officially joining the challenge.

cavecricket - we are in the same boat...I am 5'1" and 158. My goal is drop 30-35 lbs. by our June Disney trip. You are a little more daring than me..not sure about the brazilian wax thing...although if I get to my goal, you never know...lol!

I've always found so much support on the other boards, I am sure this will help keep me going. I will just stay on-line (my computer is far away from the kitchen) to stop eating!!!

Seriously, I am going to try WW again, but I know I just need to stay focused and get moving. Exercise is definately going to be a part of my efforts this time around.

I can't wait to have my first sig!!!

I promised myself that after the holidays I would get back to trying to lose weight and get healthy. I had been doing the Weight Watchers program until I found out I was pregnant. My baby daughter is 5 months old now, so it's time for me to get back to the business of trying to lose weight. I can't fit the WW meetings into my schedule, but I do have a weight loss buddy at work, so we can support and encourage each other.

I never seem to find time to exercise (or do much else for myself for that matter) before or after work, so I am looking into joining a gym and working out on my lunch breaks. I need to get in shape for new DD's first trip to WDW (not yet scheduled).

I look forward to giving and receiving support and encouragement here on the DIS WISH board!

I would like to offically join WISH. I need to lose 20 to 25 pounds. I plan on alternating between cardio and weight training and I changed my diet to eat much healthier. No more junk food for me. My goal is to be in shape by the time we go to Disney in May. My husband is doing this with me. It is much easier when you have someone to support you.

 

[3DisneyNUTS]

I just started Weight watchers to get in better shape for my Cruise and to keep it off this time (I lost 50 before gained back 45 because of laziness of not watching what I ate and a back injury).

So I wish to be 45 lbs lighter. I will work on it till I hit goal. I weigh in on Mondays.

 

[mimidedoodah]

I have a goal to lose 50 pounds this year. I am counting calories and fat calories. I am walking everyday. I am going to WDW and on a 4 day cruise on the Wonder in June and I want to be in much better shape than I am now.

Hi!
I am about 90 pounds overweight and I am short so I know this is not healthy. I have a five year old so I need to get healthy to make sure I am around to raise him properly : )
I tried Adkins last year for about 2 months and lost about 10 pounds and started to feel better but once I got off the induction part I seemed to gradually add all the foods I shouldn't. I can say that I felt better than I have in ages while I was practicing the Adkins Induction diet, slept well, no back aches, etc. However, I love milk and it is something I tend to get thirsty for... I can give up sodas and I can drink water and decaf coffee (but OI like cream in the coffee) Anyhow, I HATE FISH of all kinds....so I was wondering if I would be better trying weight watchers.....Does anyone out there have a suggestion for me. I have not tried weight watchers so I do not know if their program would work better for my tastes but I am willing to try and stick with whichever I pick and exercise. Once I start losing that should be the incentive to keep me going. Any and all suggestions gratefully appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, count me in! I've started working on my weight loss this week. I want to lose 30 pounds (roughly) to get back to a size 10 and feel better. I'm not following a certain plan...just counting calories and eating low fat. I'm exercising...cruches and other toning exercises as well as walking. I'm currently walking two miles a day while using 2lb. weights for upper body. I plan to get up to 5 miles per day.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone here. I weigh in on Fridays.

 

[cra-z-4-dizney]

I need to lose 50lbs to be at my ideal weight, but I would like to lose about 55-60 lbs. For my May trip, I would like to be down at least 20lbs. I am going to start walking, and doing some exercises at home...wish me luck PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
I will weigh in on Fridays as well.

My current weight is 200lbs.
My goal weight is 140lbs.

I am so happy to have found WISH! I am officially committing myself to this!

With all of these great people, I know I'm gonna do it this time!

I want to lose 50 - 60 pounds, hoping to have some of that accomplished before our trip in May.

I'm doing Weight Watchers and I weigh in on Mondays.


Thymed - I've been doing Weight Watchers off and on for about 2 years and I can tell you that it definitely works! I tried Atkins too and it just wasn't for me. I know people who have lost tons of weight on Atkins and I'm soo jealous. Not every program works the same for every person. So for me, Weight Watchers has been the way to go. You can eat whatever you want (within reason) as long as you have the points for it. If you ever have any questions or need a buddy along the way...feel free to PM me anytime!

I just started 'officially' trying (for real) this week... lost 2 lbs... 20 to go. Walked 2 miles every day, and ate right 98% of the time. There's a "Lose 5 lbs in Jan." thread on here that will keep me motivated, as I need to post my weigh in once a week. I'm not one to do WW ot Atkins, or SBD, but just having that accountability will help me stay on track (I hope)... my next cruise is in 504 days... I'd love to be able to get back into a 2-pc bathing suit for the first time in 15 years... my plan is to concentrate on losing the extra weight first, with not so much focus on the exercise part, then work on the more serious exercise later. If I can walk and eat right to get to my goal weight, then I can firm up the flabby parts.

 

[bdink921]

I'll take the challenge. I am 5'4" and weigh about 158lbs. I had lost 42 lbs on weight watcher's a few years back, stopped following the plan and gained back 23 lbs . I would love to lose at least 15 of those pounds before our April trip to WDW. Been reading posts on here for quite a while and decided the time is definitely right to officially take the challenge. I am going to try ww new core plan.

 

[athenna]

Not sure if it's too late to post this but I just discovered this thread.
I have been in Weight Watchers for just about a year now.
I have lost 56.4 pounds so far.
I weight in on Tuesdays, so I'll let you all how I did tomorrow.
If anyone wants to share their success stories, feel free!
Good luck, all!

I am taking the challenge. DH and I started WW almost a week ago. We weigh in on Wednesday. I want to lose 30 pounds to be at my ideal weight. I also walk on the treadmill 30 minutes a day.

 

[pettyone]

[Dory's Twin]

I will take the challenge, I will lose 5 in January....then lose 35 more pounds (go from 198-158), and live a long and healthy life with my kids and DH...

No more excuses for overeating...I already exercise 4 days a week...I just loved to eat...my addiction!!!
