Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[snoopy_mom]

I have been floating around WW for about a year, and while I have been in and out my SIL lost over 50 pounds! OK, time to get serious. I was able to lose 15 and keep 10 off, time for the rest. I am hoping to lose 30 pounds by my November cruise. I am attending WW meetings at work, and am concentrating on drinking alot of water! I also hope to fit my treadmill into my schedule on a regular basis......

I'm in! I am starting NutriSystem tomorrow and want to lose approx. 65 lbs. I have jogged on and off and want to do the 1/2 marathon in 2007. I look forward to participating in the challenges with you all!!

Count me in!!! I need to lose about 90 pounds long term. I would like to get in much better shape before going to WDW in Sept. The last baby just turned 3 and it's time to get this weight off! I know I won't be able to lose all that weight before we go on our trip, but I would like to lose enough by April, 2007 when my driver's license expires, that the current weight listed on it is actually true I'm going with WW points because I can kinda do that on my own. I do ok for the 1st month and then I always seem to get of track and gain back what I've lost. Hopefully, you can all help keep me going!!!

I have officially started my weightloss journey to a healthier me. I joined slim fast's website which has a great nutrition log and give suggestions on calorie counts and fat intake and plan on staying within those guidelines, and a place to chart weight loss.

I will continue to exercise every week with a goal of 3x/week.

I will work on eating healthy snacks, especially if I feel the urge to binge.

I will go to the library to take a look at the book Life is Hard, Food is Easy

I will visit these boards regularly to get inspiration and to seek help

I will use my journal to vent frustrations, tribulations and successes

My first goal is to lose 10 by Disney trip April 24.


Here I go. I CAN do it. One moment at a time.

I'm in.....again. Need to lose 30 pounds. Would like to lose at least 20 before our trip to FL in July.

Hello!! First time WISHER long(ish) time Dis'er!! I'm looking to get healthy and keep that way!

 

[jillyjoey]

Sign me up. I need to lose alot of weight that I still carrying from pregnancy. And I am working towards running a 5k. This sounds like a great place for support.

 

[stacy2197]

I would like to lose 75 lbs to get to 150. I've started watching portion sizes.
I think thats my main problem.

 

[Dyerneeds]

I'm in! I am currently at 175 lbs., a size 12 and getting tight. I would like to lose 30 lbs. My biggest concern is getting healthy. I am recently an empty nester and now have that middle age spread. As you get older, it gets harder to take off.

Smaller portions and excercise are key for me. As long as I excercise I can maintain with no problem. The trick is getting there. (persistence!)

This support may be just what I need. We're planning a WDW trip in October and a cruise in April 2007. It's time to get it together.

Looking forward to losing together.

It's time. I have GOT to lose weight. I am so sick and tired of being heavier than I should be. I keep looking at this weight and thinking, "I don't need this. What's it doing here." I want to lose 70 pounds. So, count me in!

 

[DannyDisneyFreak]

I want to lose about 30 pounds. Right now I am about 200.

 

[Maherae]

Finally!!! I get to update my clippie!! Slowly, but steadily, the weight is coming OFF!!!

 

[Mariposa]

Well, time to sign me up. Before I had my daughter (about 8.5 years ago) I was at about 150 lbs. I'm short, but large framed, and my doctor thought I was pretty great at that weight (normal fat percentage, great heart). I never lost any weight after I had DD, and I've gained on top of what I put on when I was pregnant. So, realistically, I could lose almost 100 lbs.

Well, we decided to change our late Oct WDW trip to mid-Sept for the free dining. I know there are only 3 ways for me to survive the trip:

1. Remain submerged in hotel pool, call family frequently to hear about all the fun they're having in parks.

2. Rent ECV or convince DFiance (and friends) to carry me on litter (Cleopatra style).

3. Lose weight, start walking so I'm prepared.


Now, I'd get bored with #1, and while #2 sounds like it could be fun ECVs cost more than I want to pay and I doubt DFiance wants to tote me about. So, #3 it is.

Help me people, I love ice cream and sitting on my butt. This will be HARD!

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but how do I put my ticker in my signature.

I have tried it, but it won't go on. It just shows the html code. I did notice that the html code is "off". I can't seem to find how to turn it back on. I'm guessing, that's the problem.

Any suggestion?
Help!

 

[Dyerneeds]

Dah, nevermind everyone. I figured it out.

 

[Nevergrow'nup]

Okay, here I go. I WANT to lose weight, get in shape and be able to keep up with my family!! I lost 35 pdsss 2 years ago, had major upheavals and have gained all but 5 pds back. I want to lose 25 pds by June 20th and another 25 pds by September 1st. That way I can buy a whole new wardrobe for fall!!
I'm ready to W.I.S.H. my way there!!

 

[Suzi Q]

Count me in, too. I'm starting today. I need to lose 70 pounds. Plan to exercise everyday, do WW on my own, and weigh in with 3 other friends each week to keep me on track. We're going to WDW in November and on a cruise in January. Would like to be well on my way by then.

 

[Dyerneeds]

I have to say, it sure is tough getting started. The first 3 days are the worst. I could be doing better about the excercise.

(My hisband has lost about 11 lbs. It took him about 3 months. When I look at him, I figure I can do it too.)

From my past experience as a yo yo dieter, i have found that tai bo kicks seem to be the best excercise for my stomach and hips. The trick is to do them consistently. In the past I saw a difference in just 3 weeks. I did them 5 times a week.

I am only going to weigh in once a week to start. It can be very discouraging when you don't see those lbs. go down.

I just needed to vent a little and check out the thread to remind myself I'm not the only one struggling.

Good luck to everyone.
keep those vacations in mind and keep plugging away.
