Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[Marshmelo]

I will be going to WDW again in early December 2007 and my goal is to lose around 80 lbs by then. I have lost that much before (for my wedding in Oct. 2004) but gained it all back The good news is that I know I can do it. I actually started last Thursday, so my first weekly weigh in will be tomorrow. I'm doing the Weight Watchers points program. I'm not attending meetings, just doing it on my own with some help from my Momma (susiejane) and Granny who are the ones going to WDW with me. I'm also trying to talk my husband into doing a 7 night cruise in September. We did the 4 night in September 2003 and loved it....it's actually where he proposed, after we ate at Palo's. So, I have a lot of motivation to lose for those two trips. If that isn't enough, I want to get pregnant and want to (need to) be healthy first.

I have just satrted my diet today. I am 154 and my goal weight is 130 although my secret goal weight is 120 or a bit less. I am doing a mix between atkins/southbeach both are very similar during first phase so
NO CARBS and will take a vitamin and walk on tredmill as often as I can.

Hi ladies. Joining in the WISH challenge. I also joined the Easter challenge. My goal is 15 pounds, starting today at 155. I will challenge myself to get back on the wagon with eating better and going to the gym to walk on the treadmill. I really enjoy the treadmill and am so proud of myself when I do it, so why do I not make myself go??? I was doing really well before Thanksgiving, going 2-3 evenings a week, right after work having my babysitter keep my daughter an extra hour. I guess it is just tough establishing new habits but I really need to do this for me!! I think I will go try to call the sitter right now and get it set up for Monday and Tuesday...already have other things going on the other nights of the week. Gotta start somewhere!!

Okay so I'm signing on! I started "dieting" on Jan 6th when I signed up for "biggest loser" at work. I've lost 7lbs as of the 20th. And I've been a gym member for a week. I'm exercising 4times/week. 30min of cardio on the treadmill/bike and some machines to help firm the unfirmable! I've a LOOOONG way to go but this is the start.

 

[Sk8Leigh]

Ok, I'm joining WISH. I got back on my WW points a few weeks ago, since I had gained back almost all of the weight I had lost a couple of years ago. I've lost a few pounds since then, but my goal from now is going to be 10 pounds. I want to be able to wear all my thin pants again! And I think putting the clip art in my signature will be a good motivator.

(I know that's not a lot that I need to lose, but I'm only 5', so on me that's a lot!)

 

[PrincessAuroraInPA]

I'm joining again! I need to lose at least 100 pounds. I did WATP 2 miles today. I plan on doing the WW plan from home, not the online version, just completely on my own, so we'll see how that goes. I'm hoping that losing weight will also make my acid reflux go away. Good luck to everyone else taking the WISH challenge!

I HEAR YA, Leigh!!! Welcome to WISH! (I'm trying to RE-earn my clippie! ) Onward and Downward!!!

 

[Julianna07]

I just found this area on the boards only because I saw the Clips in the smilies when i was checking them out. I had to find out what WISH was. After reading a few posts, I decided that I would also like to join. I have needed to lose weight for most of my life and have tried many times.

I am making a stand now! I will reafirm my commitment to Nutrisystem and now WISH. I will take out the tread mill and walk to my favorite Disney movies and dance to my own beat. I will Wiggle Jiggle and Giggle at least twice a week to remember how fun working out can be.

My short term goal: DH is going away on monday for 2 months for work so my goal will be to lose 20 pounds and fit into my size 20s again!

 

[CaroleD]

Please include me in this. I accidently put my request to join in the clip art section. I need to fit into a dress for my son's wedding that is a bit tight. But just before the wedding I'm going to disney and have the dining plan. Yikes! I'de like to lose 10 pounds.
Thanks

[TiggerandTink]

Ok, count me in.

I would like to lose about 60 pounds and here is my plan:
use the South Beach plan,
drink water each day (I usually forget to do this),
add exercise to my week with my first goal being to exercise at least 3x a week and increase from there,
have patience with myself and not expect instant results but to make steady progress.

 

[SnowWhite33]

I want to join. My goal is to lose 60 lbs, well 55 now. I belong to Curves and am now actually using my membership as well as going to one of their classes on weight management. I'm also drinking my water.

So far I have lost 5 lbs and that's been in 2 weeks Hmmm, wish I would have joined here 2 weeks ago so I could have a 5 pound clippie


Best of luck to everyone in their healthy goals

 

[birdie9]

Count me in. I can't believe I stumbled across this thread. I started back on Jan 1, 2007 and started the treadmill 30 minutes then upped it to 40 minutes and WOW I'm up to 50 minutes in 4 weeks. We all need to be active in our lives health. Going on a 7 day Western next week. Will I be able to stay within reason?? WISH me luck.

 

[HawkinsCrew]

I'm in!

I just booked a Disney Cruise for 5/2008 and I don't want a reapeat performance of our 8/2006 cruise: sitting in the water of Castaway Cay (so noone will see me), huffing and puffing on our family bike ride (and bowing out early with my daughter because I was spent, what kind of example was that?), and finishing the day with six desserts for the three of us!

I'll participate here, go to the gym as many days as possible, and do South Beach, no, the leftover nutrisystem in the guest room closet, no, the Biggest Loser Diet from the three books on my shelf ...

Obviously, I can't decide on a healthy eating plan, but I'm a work in progress.

 

[angietuck2]

I guess this is where I "officially" sign up. I have been lurking around these boards while I was preparing for the Disney 1/2.

I guess I am joining these boards more with a maintaining goal and to get and stay healthier.

I started out 3 years a go to lose 30 lbs and I did. Many long hours at the gym, and many forsaken hot fudge sundays later. I practically lived on salads for a long time. Back then my motivation, I will admit was vanity, now my motivation is to avoid all of the horrible health problems that ALL of the women in my family are plagued with.

My husband and I have gotten into running in the past year and signing up for the various races has kept me motivated to exercise. Just a month out of my first 1/2 Marathon (of course at Disney) I can honestly say there is NOTHING like the feeling of personal accomplishment of setting a goal and then accomplishing it, no matter how big or small it may be.

I love what I see on your boards and would love to be a part of it.

Ages ago I think I signed up but like most things with me I either forget or give up but not this TIME!!

I just got a gym membership yesturday and I plan on going 7 days a week to at least walk a mile on the treadmill (with my enrollment I get a personal trainer twice a week for 8 weeks) I'm cutting back what I eat and trying to do some portion control.

My goal 65 pounds! I don't own a scale yet but in 2 weeks I'm going to buy one (I'm waiting for my next pay period) then I'm going to see if I've made any progress towards my goal!

I've decided this is the year I'm going to change my life and get healthy and a few new hobbies (I'm taking a class in rock climbing something ive always wanted to try)

I'm so stoked!!! Good Luck EveryOne!!!

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I'm in! I was 125 lbs before having my second child. In fact the lowest I did go after pregnancy was 141 and unfortunately I've put on a couple of pounds since then. My goal: 125 of course.
