I am so happy to "see" our WISH family growing!

Please join in any thread or start one too. We need the support of each other as we go through our quest to be healthier.

I'm so excited that I found this forum
I'm planning a trip for late June-July and I'd like to loose a few lbs and tone up a bit so I can squeeze back into my Bathing suits

I'm 5'1 and at 120 (ahhh too many cookies & junkfood this Christmas!)
I'd like to get toned back into by 105-110 zone. So not too much to lose, but I'm always looking for new recipes and ways to stay in shape! Maybe this will be my ticket to success

I'm back!!! A prodigal child returns...I started with the 150 club thread tonight, and I need to get this lifestyle back in the forefront of my brain again, and not put it off any longer. I had to give back my weight loss clippies and then kind of disappeared into the woodwork - for a long time here - now getting the mentality back to renew my goals!!!

I'm a WW Lifetime member who has regressed after stopping going to meetings. I'm going to try this time on my own with WISHers help and see if I can make it work. If not, I'll make myself go back to WW meetings for the "expensive scale" that somehow strikes fear into my bones enough to keep me on track.

I'll make myself face the scale again tomorrow and start anew. Glad to be back!

Well Jen,

I can relate... I too am returning after several months of backsliding. I am now up to 180 lbs.... five lbs heavier than I was the last time I was attempting to take the challenge.

I have to do it this time. My dh and I took a Disney cruise last October, at which time I tried to lose 30 lbs before we left. (Didn't happen)

We have now scheduled a cruise for October 20, 2007. Guess what... Here I am again.

I would like to get down to 145-150lbs.

I see people losing 80, 100, 150 all the time and I am always so impressed with them. So, I figure if they can do it so can I.

Any tips from anyone to stay motivated would be a great help.

Good luck to everyone.

Robin

I'm joining in. I started WW online in February 2006 with the goal to loose 50 lbs. I lost 29 lbs before we went on our WDW trip the last week of September. I never really got back on the plan when we returned and then the holidays happened. I have of coursed gained some of that weight back but I have been too scared to get on a scale to see exactly how much. I have removed all the laundry hanging from the stationary bike and am back on the plan as of today.

Hey, count me in, would you? I successfully lost many pounds three years ago on WISH, but I'm back where I started from and now need to find my healthy self again!

My goal is to achieve a healthy BMI through exercise, portion control, and eating a healthy diet full of fruits, veggies, brown carbs, and lean meats. Right now my BMI is 31.

Here I go!

OK so heres the hope: I would like to get to healthy weight and feel healthy again. I am planning on exercising daily no matter how silly I look or how frightening I sound.

I am feel good aobut my insides I just want the outside to match. I would really love to WOW my husband again honestly!

ANyway my short term goal is for April ideally it is alot to tackle but would dream of losing 60 lbs by then. My long term dream would be 99 lbs to be achieved by Christmas.

I want to let go of the negative self image and feel good about what I see in the mirror!

OK so got started by a Dr check up today all good to goa nd rode my exercise bicycle for 30 minutes so off I go.........................

 

[RSoxFan]

Hi everyone, can I join?

I'd like to lose around 65-70 pounds. I've already lost 15 in the past year on LA Weightloss but I'm ready to step it up a notch. My motivation is a Disney trip in July. I really want to be able to visit the waterparks and wear shorts in the parks. Also, we always stay at the Beach Club and I've never visited the pool because I'm too embarassed to put on a bathing suit. So that's my goal!

 

[lorli]

Hey all, I'm in. I want to make positive changes to my lifestyle, to live long and be healthy for myself, husband and daughter. Over the years I have fought this battle and been riding the worst ride of my life, the YO-YO. It's time to get off that ride and on to better ones. This past December, I decided it was time to do something about my weight before I do irreversible damage (already have some, but with loses they will get better). December 30, yes before the big parties of the New Year I joined lawl, I need a lot of encouragement and to know I HAVE to face someone about it. Don't want to be embarrased you know. Two hurdles down (starting, and and working the program on New Years Eve) millions more to go. As I stated my plan is to use lawl, go one day at a time and begin a water fitness class. Leaner, meaner me, here I come.

 

[JenEeyore]

I have to laugh, I finally get myself in gear to get myself back to WISH, and I get on the scale to see what the "damage" is that needs to get fixed...wouldn't you know it, my scale's batteries are dead!!!! ROFL!

I'll have to get my goal set once I get a pack of Energizers!

 

[Dyerneeds]

Everyone must be excercising...
I've been hitting the pilates trail and using my weights. Who would have guessed that pilates could work so well. It's amazing how good you feel when you start feeling those sore muscles. I feel like I'm accomplishing something.

I was actually down 2 lbs. this morning. I'm sure it's just water, but I'll take it.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Robin

 

[Dyerneeds]

Where did everyone go?


JenEeyore,

Did you get your energizers?

 

[lorli]

Well not to brag but kudos to me, I started an exercise program today for the first time in about 8 years. It's two days a week of aquajog, but I'm doing something.

Robin - way to be motivated.

Jen - you've got the right mind set. Hope you find that bunny (energizer that is) real soon.

RSox - Welcome, and I just started LA myself.

Fidge - I'm working on my first "small" goal is 60lbs. I haven't set a date but I know I'll do it. My long term goal however is well over you 99lbs but yet to be determined.

 

[Dyerneeds]

Lorli,

Thank you for responding. I thought I was all alone.

We need to get some dialog going to keep everyone motivated and excercising.

I decided to start doing Tae-bo in addition to pilates. I used to do Tae-bo a few years ago and found my arms looking sculpted within 3 wks. It is also the only thing that seemed to get rid of my hips and saddlebags. (We all know how much we'd love that.)

I know many of you have vacations planned, so "Let's get Motivated."

I'm cruising (DCL) in Oct. of this year so I'm going to...

"Lose for the Cruise"

Let's Go!

I, too, need to do something. I am thinking about following the Body for Life program. Tried once before - I know it can work and I feel really sore after lifting dumbbells. The soreness is usually worst in the beginning but really lets me know I am making big changes in my body. I also want to walk around WDW wearing shorts. I want to go to a waterpark with my kids and think about what fun they are having rather than how fat I am. I want to lose about 60 pounds and hope I can get rid of most of the damage by the summer. I feel like I say the same thing every year, but I really need to make serious changes and need to "come through" for myself this time.

 

[hoosmi]

I want in! I signed up for the Minnie Marathon today. I have been so inspired reading about the Marathons this month. I have recently started walking/running again after having a baby (ok, he's 9 months old, but I've been really, really tired LOL). In an ideal world, I'd love to do Goofy in 2008.

Keep the stories coming.
