Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[airtime247]

Count me in as well. I joined Team #8 a few weeks ago but I'd like to make it official here! I've lost 4 pounds since joining Jessica's Rabbits. They are a great group and very inspirational.

My goal was initially to run the Disneyland Half-Marathon next year. I've been progressing pretty well so I'm making a newer goal - a local half-marathon in October.

Having never run in my life, I took it up in March of this year. I struggled through a 2-mile race shortly after. I've made good progress since then and just competed in a 7-mile race last weekend. I've lost 12 pounds so far since I've been running.

My short-term weight loss goal is to lose another 8 pounds, which will get me down to my high-school weight.

My long-term goal is to lose another 30. It's hard to say how that weight will feel as I don't know the last time I've been there. I may have another goal after that!

Best of luck everyone with your goals!

Hello W.I.S.H'ers!

My name is Melissa.

This is my first time over on this side of the boards but I am really ready to commit to some re-energizing. I've had a great time posting and reading all about DL and WDW for the last year or so and thought this would be a great place to turn to try and keep myself motivated about weight loss and fitness. I sure have been motivated about TR's and touring (of course when I say motivated I mean addicted! )!

Anyway, I hope to meet some of you, share in, and contribute to your community. I'm gonna go read up on the sticky's EDIT: Ok.. so WISH challenge.. COOL! I can do that.

OK: I just read the WISH CHALLENGE STICKY:

My plan is to
1) remove deep fried foods entirely (rec'd by my Dr. due to pre-stomach ulcers)
2) eat healthier desserts (fruit-based only treats during the week and MODERATE real treats on weekend)
3) the kicker! EXERCISE at our Gym... starting goal: twice a week aerobic/weights, once a week swim, once a week home video yoga tape.

I plan to begin my work-out TOMORROW. I take my girls to dance from 4-5 and I believe we can go to the open swim after that.

I've got my new ticker all reved up and raring to go!

Future goal: Go back to points (WW) system and calorie counting... right now I am not ready for that kind of discipline.

Obstacle: Carpal tunnel and thumb pain is bothering me A LOT lately and limiting my time on the boards I won't be around nearly as much as I'd like to be. Stupid OLD AGE!

I hope that is what I was supposed to write! More to come ...

I want to join this. I have recently joined a family game of weight loss. Whoever loses the most by January wins $2000. This started nearly a month ago. I haven't changed my diet, but I have become more active. I began only doing 30 minutes a day and now up to an hour. I guess my goal isn't the quick fix. I want to lose without ever feeling I am on a diet. Usually the moment I feel I am on a diet I want out. So in order to lose and not regain the moment I step off the diet this is what I have found. I drink more water, and limit my portions. So far I have lost 10 pounds. What I eat hasn't changed much, only how much. So I wanna be in this challenge.

Congratulations! I wish I had the opportunity to compete for two-grand!

I'm new, also... but welcome, anyway.

Hello, My name is Kathy and I am a FAT WOMAN !!

I am going to join in and with the help of fellow "Dis-ers" Get my weight back on track.

2 kids 22 years of marriage, a c-section, knee and shoulder surgery have greatly added to my life and my waistline.

I am over weight by 100 pounds but otherwise in good health. No high bloodpressure or Diabetes.I have got a stomach muscle that has seperated from where it should be and I have a LUMP that protrudes and is very visable when I do sit up. ( Maybe that explains some of why I can not get that goold old Stomach muscle ache from doing situps or crunches.

I am starting at 251 pounds. There .. I said it.

THat was June 6.. As of today, August 13.... I have lost 22 pounds.

 

[shane&jakesmom]

I would like to join. I need to lose around 40 pounds give or take. I am fed up with my weight, and think having a place to talk about my weight will be helpful.

Great job Kathy, keep it up!!!!!

 

[khmbug]

I want to accept the challenge,
I used to be a runner and I know that I need to incorporate exercise in my life to feel whole. I have had four wonderful kids and four c sections, the death of my sister and both parents in ten years. In ten years I have gained 40 pounds..... there I admitted it.
My challenge is to regain myself! I have registered for the Princess half marathon in March. I am so excited about this race! I am a DVC member so I can use my points....... great excuse for a trip to WDW!
Any advise on training programs for this event?

Hi everyone! I'd love to join the W.I.S.H. Challenge! Congrats to all the successes so far!

My goal is to get my BMI down from 26.3 to a normal range (18.5-24.9). To do that I'd have to lose 8 lbs. My weight goal overall is to lose 18 lbs so that I can be at a more comfortable weight/clothing size.

I am planning on achieving my goal with the help of Weight Watchers at Home (Flex Plan) and I'll soon be getting a trainer to help me stick with an exercise plan. And of course with all the wonderfurl support from the WISH board!

So there it is. I've been at goal before, I know I can do it again!

 

[jenniferolt]

I'm up for the challenge! I will be following the Weight Watchers regime and exercising 5 days a week to a healthier and better me!!!

 

[TigerKat]

Good luck to everyone!

I want to join. Im 125ish pounds and want to be down to 110. I also want to be able to run 1 mile in 7 minutes without looking like a ripe red tomato. My main problem is I live with my sister and her fieance which lead me to a buttload of stress. He's a gormet cook and has to eat meat at every meal. This means I am forced to eat alot more meat than I used to.
Steps to my goals:
Moving out (soon, very very soon)
Joining you'll
