Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[BethanyF]

I like the way you phrased your goal! I am close to a size that starts with a 1, but unfortunately a ways away from a weight that starts with a 1 *sigh* I'm fairly tall, so I think that's why I'm so much closer to the size than the weight.

I really like that too!!! I didn't phrase it like that -- but one of my goals is to get to a size 18 - so I guess I have that same goal too

How about I start a 1 Goal thread?

Hi. I would like to join WISH. My Goal is 25 more pounds. In the last 3 weeks I have lost about 8lbs doing the South Beach start up diet. I have been walking for the last 3 nights .7mile. I went cold turkey on sugar & the first week was very hard. I quite smoking 4 years ago & this is harder.

I have osteoarthritis. My right hip & left knee are a weak spot for me. My dr told me not to do repetitive things to ware them out. I have been using that as an excuse to not exercise.

I am 44 years old & for the first time in my life I like myself most of the time. This is the next step for me.

* I need to stop drinking soda (my main beverage throughout the day)
* stop snacking in the night time
* play with the kids= walking, excercising
I really feel ready to make a life change, regarding my health.

I would like to join W.I.S.H. too. I need to loose 15 pounds. A little background, I started WW online in February 2005 at 234.5 pounds, by February 2006 I was down to 157. My goal is 145, and right now I am at 160, I have been fighting with 10 pounds for the alst year, my low was 151 which was right before our first Disney cruise in September So, now I really want to get to my goal of 145, especially before we cruise again this September.

I would very much like to join.

I’ve been overweight my whole life. Right now I’m at 327 pounds. I need to lose about 200 pounds. I’m breaking that down into 4 50-pound goals. I’m hoping to lose the first 50 by the end of September.

I’ve already lost 12 pounds using my current plan.

I do cardio 4-6 a week for 40 minutes.

I enter all my food into fitday. It a great way to keep track of what your eating. I try to stay under 1800 calories. I have a free day on Saturday.

I’m eating more fruits and high fiber foods.

I also try to drink about 12 glasses of water per day.

 

[is_it_october_yet2?]

ok, it's time to really get down to business. my ultimate goal is to lose 100-115 pounds, that would put me to 150-135. for a girl that is only 5 foot that is reasonable(could probably stand to lose even more then that but as i am turning 30 this year, i can never remember being less then 135. my dd just turned 7 and it seems that instead of losing weight after having dd, i have gained 50 pound on top of highest pregnancy weight ....go figure.

So this is the question....by watching calories and walking 4-5 times a week do ya'll think it's possible to lose 70 pounds by our Oct. WDW trip? is this wishfull thinking? or a real possibility.

Assuming your vacation is at the end of October that gives you 32 weeks to reach your goal of 70 pounds.

The recommended safe weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. Which means you should be able to lose 32-64 pounds safely. 70 may be a little out of reach, but you know your body best.

Thanks for the info..... i'll be sure to keep you posted of the progress. i think realistically 50 pounds would be ideal, and very doable. considering i am in this for the long haul. time to get healthy for the rest of my life

 

[FigmentsBiggestFan]

Hi, all! I'd really, really like to join in! I am really ready to get healthy. I probably need to lose around 80 pounds, so I am going to take it one small goal at a time.

First goal (since I am just starting): lose 3 pounds by next Friday morning.

I am going to WDW Sun-Wed. with just my 6-year-old son and I have decided that we are NOT doing huge dinners like we always do. Since this is a "Mommy and Me" trip (DH will be at a sales meeting all week-awwwwww), we are going to eat when HE is hungry! And lots of walking. I am going to try and re-train myself to eat when I am hungry, not just because "it's time."

And I am also starting today to drink my water!

(I am shouting so everyone can hear )
I AM GOING TO DO THIS AND I AM GOING TO WALK THE 5K NEXT YEAR WHEN DH DOES THE MARATHON!!! See-now I HAVE to!

 

[is_it_october_yet2?]

WE CAN do this!!! If we just stick to our goals, and support each other i know it can be done.

Stood on the scale to get my weight this am......appears that DD is getting the scale wet when she gets in the shower, as there is a ton of water inside ......DH thinks it will be fine once the water evaporates out. Lucky for me, we live in GA and it is already getting warm, so i should be able to try again tomorrow am

 

[zweihund]

I would definately like to join WISH.

I don't have a goal for weight loss, just a goal to be healthier. Since this hasn't worked too well for me in the past, I signed up for the Minnie Marathon 15k.......I figure I HAVE to train which means I HAVE to run more than 2 miles twice a week which means I HAVE to burn more calories, and of course I HAVE to eat better foods and drink more water in order to survive my training.

I have a schedule from my running guru at work and am about to step out for my first 3-miler. My goal is to continue racing and eventually do the marathon.

This community is such a great idea, and I would be proud to be a member.

I would like to join WISH i have around 20lbs to lose

 

[mabenoab]

What a terrific forum...and just what I need! Thank you, thank you. I'm trying to lose a total of 28 lbs before my family Disney trip in July, AND I need to get in shape for the 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk this summer. So psyched, but so out of shape!

I'm looking forward to being a part of the forum! Best to Everyone!!

 

[Along4theRide]

I totally agree, this is much needed! I need to regain my stamina and would love to find my body!!
So far I've:
1. Limited myself to 1 Dr.Pepper a week (my pop of choice)!
2. Started back to the gym at least 3 times a week (more if time allows)
3. Drink a lot of water. (85-110 oz a day)
4. Limited the amount of fat content into my diet, for example: if I want french fries I get a small/kid size fries, a salad (w/low fat salad dressing) and water for lunch. That way I don't deprive myself, but still stay on track too.

 

[tbstein]

Ok, I haven't really posted a goal on here, so I am going to.

I want to be under 200 by my next birthday. I will be 46. My DH said he would throw me a party (with healthy food of course) if I hit that goal. I can do it. I just need to put it down and commit to it.

Thanks everyone!

Wendy

W.I.S.H. = We’re Inspired to Stay Healthy​

What is the WISH challenge? The challenge was created by Kelsie and it is a way to help motivate us to become and stay more healthy.

Who can take the challenge? Anyone who is determined to become more healthy. Whether you are working to lose weight, gain weight, exercising your way to better health, trying to get your lipids into a safe range, having a healthy pregnancy, anyone can take the WISH challenge. The only requirement is the desire for better physical health.

How do you take the challenge? All you need to do is post your intention to take the challenge here on this thread. That’s all there is to it. You don’t have to tell us your size or weight but I would appreciate it if you would tell us your plan for achieving better health.

Keep us informed of your progress Try to visit WISH often and participate as much as you can.

WISH clipart You may add the WISH member clipart to your signature if you want. What we do is begin with a zero loss no matter how much weight we may have lost before taking the challenge and then every time we lose 5 pounds we get to "trade up" to a new clipart. It's lots of fun and quite motivating.

There is an sticky post containg the official WISH clipart and excellent instructions right here

There are also cliparts for our fun challenges to help keep you motivated.

Remember The WISH challenge is not restricted to those who want to lose weight. There is more to being healthy than that–good health has a lot of components and our weight is just one.

I hope you will decide to take the WISH challenge and join the wonderful support group here. WISH is a helpful and friendly place.

Hidy ho good neighbor! Texan by relocation here! I'm one of those people who couldn't get to Texas fast enough. I live in Dallas. Where do you live? I'm taking the W.I.S.H. challenge. I need to lose weight and get in better shape for my health and well-being. I plan on eating right with more fruit, vegetables, and lots of water. I also plan on exercizing. Good luck to all. Let's all help each other stay motivated!

Hi everyone, I have been keeping a journal regularly on WISH for a year now but I don't believe I have ever taken the WISH challenge! I have lost a bit over 30 pounds and have at least 80 to go. My challenge is to keep up my good work and continue to eat right, exercise and lose weight. I would very much like to be under 200 (14 pounds to go) by my Disneyland trip in June.

 

[3js13]

Hi! I would like to join WISH. My goal is to lose 15 pounds. I have been through alot in the past year and I figure that getting healthy is agreat way to start fresh.

 

[Dyerneeds]

Hi to everyone...

Wow,

It's been quite a while since I've posted on here. I kinda fell off the wagon when it came to my eating habits. I am now back on track and have lost 11 lbs. and 8 inches, so I'm finally in the zone.

I currently am doing 30 min. on the elliptical, tae-bo, floor excercises, and weights for my arms. I'm really tired of that waddle under my arms. (We all know how wonderful that looks.)

I started a new job in January and have started a weight loss challenge at work. It's a great support system. We weigh in every Friday.

I plan on posting every evening Mon-Fri. and several times on the weekend. Looking forward to talking to all of you.

Robin
