Hi, I am Sarah, 28yr old SAHM mommy. I weighed 215 but have lost since last May. I am now hovering in the upper 160's (around 166) and need some more motivation. We leave in 51 days for our disney vac & I would like be in the low 150's by then. I am joining the challenge with watching my calories & exercising more to make it to my ulitimate goal of 125. Glad to be here!!!

I am ready to take the Dis wish challenge. I have been doing ww for a while and have 50-60 pounds to go but it is coming off slow. The wonderful support here will help me to stick with it.
I want to lose 30 pounds before my WDW trip in November. 5 pounds a month should be doable.
I am pledging to walk after work every day the weather permits.
I will keep my ww journal every day, because when I do that, I always eat much healthier.
Lastly, after my son goes to bed I will only have one snack per night, instead of snacking all night long.
Thanks to all for the support.

I am looking for some motivation. I took this challenge in may, and just read my post, and want to recommit myself to it. I have been journalling almost everyday, and have been good about walking after work. I have not been only having one snack at night once my son goes to bed, and I want to do pledge to try harder on that one. I also want to increase my water intake. My goal before my WDW trip was and is to lose 30 pounds more. In the past 2 months, I have lost 8.4, not quite 5 pounds a month. Here's to today and the next four months!!! Thanks for all the motivation!!! Good luck to all of you!!!

Hi All -
I am also new here too. For medical rand personal reasons I need to lose weight. I am about 190 right now and need to get down to 150. I have in the past had good sucess with weight watchers and I am going to try it again. We have a very hectic lifestyle so I just need to be more motivated to cook our own meals in stead of going out !!
WISH me luck !!

 

[ChubbyHubby]

I went from 270 to 225!!! Another 25 to go!.

Keep da Faith

I've been visiting the WISH board for awhile now but didn't realize until today that I never "took the WISH challenge" officially by posting in this thread! SO, here I am.

Started WW on January 10th and have lost just over 46 pounds since then. I am hoping it will be 50 when I weigh in next Tuesday (that would be a two week loss, I had surgery this week and missed WW weigh-in). We'll see though, I have been eating too much the past two days to get to that milestone this week I think. If not this week, it will be the next!

One of my goals is that when I return to the Poly concierge they won't recognize me! LOL! I have many goals actually, my dream goal is to lose 50 more pounds, but I have more realistic goals too, lol. My immediate goal right now is to lose 10 pounds in August.

I lost 30 lbs 2 years ago by exercising and cutting back on portions. Well, I've gained every pound back. No more, just the 30lbs LOL! I'm 5'4" and currently weigh 147. I honestly don't think I can maintain 117 but am shooting for 125 in reality. I go to the gym 3 times a week while my son takes karate. I do spin and body sculpting classes. Tomorrow I'm going to start my new eating and positive thinking. I have a lot of negative thoughts about myself that run through my head. I'm going to try to silent my inner critic and quit eating "just because". My son also has karate so I'll be at the body sculpting class. That's one good thing about his class being at the gym, I'm there anyway so I might as well work out. I've booked an October 27, 2007 Disney cruise with just my DS and I. I'm a single mom, in case I haven't mentioned that. I want to be able to walk around the deck and snorkel without wearing shorts with my bathing suit. I won't be wearing a thong, but I just want to feel confident and good in whatever I wear. I look forward to meeting you and us encouraging each other through this rough period in our lives. But, this too shall pass!

 

[Tensixmom]

I am new here. Actually I have been lurking around the boards for a couple of weeks so thought I would take the plunge. Need to lose weight to stay healthy for my kids and myself.

 

[OKWMom]

I would love to join. My goal is to lose 70-80 pounds. I am trying to eat healthy and I have joined my local Curves. I hope to lose at least 20 pounds before our December trip.

 

[hjd0411]

I'm new here too - and I guess I need to lose about 15kgs (about 35lbs). Got to start somewhere. I think I will be joining a local gym soon. Walking the dog is just not enough for me. Good luck to everyone else. I aim to be looking good for my Nov 07 trip to WDW.

 

[mistaroo]

I started the WISH challenge on Monday, July 31st (I thought I posted that day but apparently I did not). I am following the WW points plan but not attending meetings so I am thrilled to find this board. My plan is to lose up to 2 lbs per week, by following WW points and exercising, with a goal of losing 40 lbs by my trip to the Poly in December of this year. I have more weight than that to lose but that is my first goal. Good luck to all of us

 

[momto4obkids]

I am joining again :O

So, this time i am trying the six week mody makeover.


wish me luck!! lol

After what seemed like a very long time I finally lost another 5 lbs! for a total of 10 lbs since joining WISH (15 from before), so I'm gonna be grabbing a new clippie!

 

[Fitswimmer]

I finally wandered off the Theme Park and DVC sections and found this thread. How cool!
I had surgery back in January to remove a benign tumor the size of a volleyball from my abdomen. It's been 7 months now, and I need to lose the weight I gained during my recovery. I did a lot of "comfort eating"-oh, I can have ice cream, I just had major surgery, oh, I can have cookies, I just had major surgery, Oh, I don't have to exercise, I just had major surgery.
Well, you see my problem. I could afford to lose about 20 lbs, but I really don't want to focus on the numbers. I want to concentrate on getting to the Y every day, riding my bike on the weekends, doing some skating and if I lose weight by doing those things-great, if not, that's ok too because if I'm doing that I'll be healthier anyway. I don't believe in depravation diets, because I know that whatever I try to completely eliminate will cause a binge sooner or later.
So, here's the plan. Mon, Wed-jog/walk on treadmill, circuit weight training
Tues,Thurs, Fri-swim fast for 30 min A.M., elliptical and
weights P.M.
Saturday/Sunday-biking, skating, b-ball-depends on
weather

For July, I worked out 22 out of 31 days, which is ok-but it could have been better.
So far this month, I'm 6 for 8. Again, ok, but not really where I want to be.
I'm joining WISH to help me stay motivated, get suggestions from others and to be a cheerleader for all the other members who are working so hard. If my love for Disney has taught me nothing else, it has taught me that we can achieve any dream with determination and courage and the help of trusted friends.

 

[AlaskaMOM]

Just checking in with another 5 lb loss, 15 pound clippie here I come!

Thanks so much for W.I.S.H. I can't believe how encouraging it is to come to this board!

 

[englishteacha]

I'm joining the WISH challenge! I've lost about 20-25 pounds in the past year. My next goal is to lose 15 more. Then I'll determine my next step towards being healthy! I've been walking, and watching what I eat. I'm a teacher, so this summer has been challenging my eating--I tend to eat or bake when I have nothing to do! When school starts again, I'll be able to use the fitness center there, which I plan to use at least once a week in addition to my walks. Wish me luck!

 

[TinkNH]

Oh glad I found this...I have been trying to eat better..and get my butt on the treadmill at minimum 4 times a week.

 

[oxfordcircus]

Okay, I'll join. I'm at 200 lbs right now. I want to lose about 25 lbs by cycling 4-5 times a week. A pound every week or two would make me happy. So we'll see.

 

[Taylorbell]

I'm signing up!

I love the idea of WISH and am really excited to sign up for it! I have been a long-time lurker and am looking forward to posting more and becoming part of the WISH group.

I want/will lose 60 by April 1st of next year. That's my goal! Lots of little goals along the way, starting with 15 by the end of September. So, we'll see what happens. Hopefully, GREAT things will happen.

I'm starting out with the 6 Week Body Makeover to get me going.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and posting lots and lots and lots!!
