Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[disneygoof]

I'm in! I've lost 15 pounds since November; lost 10, gained 5, lost 10 gained 5, lost 5. I still have at least 10 to lose. I have a 7 month old son and need to rebound. As a Disney addict, I expect this will be a new motivator!

Weight Watchers is my metheod, and recommended by my Doc.

I've actually been on Wish for a few weeks now but I just realized that I never signed in here so here goes.

I've now lost 10 pounds! When I started I was at my heaviest and I hated the way my body looked. I've tried to get into Wish twice before, but my motivation waned. A couple of years ago I lost 23 pounds but then I went way off and gained it all back, plus a few for good measure. I'm upset with myself because I was under 10 pounds from my goal and now I'm back at the beginning. Oh well! My goal is to lose 30 to 35 pounds total so that means I want to lose 20 to 25 more.

The thing that bothers me is the clothing issue. I'm built rather top heavy to begin with so finding shirts and dresses has never been the easiest but with the extra weight it's even more difficult. While I'm thrilled that I have dropped 10 pounds I find that lots and lots of clothing still does not fit me.

I'm doing Weight Watchers with my husband. He is a great support to me. He has much better will power than I do, but I am really trying to be "good."

Count me in (about time I quit lurking). I've lost 5 lbs. on Atkins already and have 12.5 to go. I always get inspiration and motivation from visiting this board and hope I can give some back!

Hi Everyone!

I'm so glad to find this site! I've been working on weight loss for over 2 years now - and at about 85 lbs lost I'm at my second major plateau. So I'm hoping signing up to this challenge will help me kick things into gear again.

I'm starting Bob Greene's online program today, and after Easter I'm doing the Body for Life program for the first time. It scares me a bit because it's very regimented, but I seems to thrive with that type of challenge - and I'm really at a point where I need to change my body - no just lose more weight.

I haven't read through any of the postings yet so I need to catch myself up.

I started my weight loss at my heaviest ever: 271 lbs. I'm now 187 (lowest so far 183). My reward to myself at the end of my "ftiness year" is to do the WDW half marathon in 2005 - I'm already signed up! I can't wait, it will be my first trip to WDW.

Bye for now,
Sandra

Count me and my dh in. We have done atkins off and on since February and plan to kick it into high gear and add excercise starting on Sunday. It looks like disers are great supporters.

 

[Mishetta]

Okay...count me in too!! I am doing the Weight Watcher's program (on my own) & joined Curves & went for the first work out tonight.

I had to buy myself a "work out" outfit. It has fish on it & it reminded me of "Finding Nemo" only this outfit is going to be used to "Finding Rose!" I know I'm in there somewhere!!

Now I have to figure out how to do that Wish Clippie thingy....

 

[decaff38]

I started at 214 and have dropped 11# since Feb. 20. My goal now is to get to Onerland! only 3# and walk/run everyother day. My ultimate goal is 160 (-43#s) I will take it a month at a time. to get there. By my calculations I should close in on it by mid August. Really excited to get moving . Need to seriously train and get in shape . Thanks for the support!!

 

[acename]

count me in! i'm getting married in august and want to lose the 20 lbs i've gained in college before i get fitted for my dress. and i also want to make all my jeans fit as well as they used to the main thing i plan to do is eat better. i've been slacking in that area. i'm also going to make it my goal to do some form of excercise everyday. even if it's just for a few minutes i'll feel better knowing i did SOMETHING!

 

[Reginat]

Hi!

I want to join, too! I already have a good exercise program, but need to eat in moderation to show results!

Motivation: I just got my first [adult] bicycle and want to wear cute bike clothes & other summer clothes. Currently it looks like Chip N Dale & a couple of their friends have squeezed in the bicycle shorts with me! I think I can suceed by being able to post online and earn WISH clip-art. Those little Minnie Mouses are cute!

Have a great weekend!

Starting Monday 4/5 ..ordered Seattle Sutton for 5 weeks and signed up for curves.

I hope to reach my goal by my 50th bday 05/31/05

Lots of weight to lose but with faith and prayers I know God will see me through and also help me maintain for life.

The first thing I am going to do when I reach my goal is to buy a swimsuit and swim with my kids. They have been asking me for years but I have always been too embarrased.

 

[CheapMom]

4/5- This is it- no more excuses- I am starting today.
I have a 14 month old baby and I gained 65 pounds with him. 4 weeks after his birth I was on the treadmill almost every day, eating right, doing great. I had lost 25 lbs by my 8 week psotpartum checkup- Then (a week later) I broke my pinky toe and my whole regimen came to a standstill.
(see what I mean- I am full of excuses- baby, broken toe, wah, wah, wah...)
TODAY- I will dust off that treadmill- I will walk for 25 minutes. And I will stop snacking, and I will drink lots of water.
Also- I am going to start a WISH journal and it will include pictures of me today and then every 2 weeks after-
Thanks for reading,
Mary

I'm a bit shy about these things, but I'm going to join you all. I want to lose at least 10 pounds (hopefully 15). I joined Weight Watchers online today. I was going to join after Easter, but I bit the bullet and did it today.

 

[disnutt]

Count me in. I'm on my second week of WW meetings. Lost 5 pounds so far. I'm looking to lose 20 more pounds of post-baby weight.

I am highly motivated by everything Disney so I think this will be the perfect place for support.

 

[GoofItUp]

I'm joining up. I have a cruise scheduled for the latter part of June and there's a dress that I really want to get in to for formal night! I need to lose 10 - 15 lbs to get there and also feel better about myself. I plan to eat healthier (reasonable portions and not like a horse at the trough!) and exercise regularly. There is a walking track across from the building I work in which I can use at lunch and I'm also a member at the Family Y. I've never been good at sticking with these things, but this time WILL be different!

 

[christinadei]

Hi, I want to sign up too. I was 110 before I got pregnant and gained 50 lbs when I gained a huge appetite that never went away. I joined weight watchers a while back and lost 15 lbs, but now I've gained back the 15 plus 5 more. I now weigh 158 on a 5'3" frame. My ultimate goal is 125lbs. I started the program again yesterday and tonight I'll start exercising. I plan on exercising for an hour at least 3 times a week and 30 minutes 2 other days.

I also want to add that I have a family reunion in July and an anniversary cruise in August that I'd like to be able to get into a bikini and a little black dress for!

Ok, I just posted a thread with my sad saga of weight coming back on! I am 41 years old, 5'3" tall, and currently weigh 212. I weighed 232 last summer and got down to 198 by the end of 2003. I held it there for a while, but then I "fell off the wagon" in March and 14 pounds came back in three weeks -- yes, 14 pounds in 3 weeks!

I'm determined to try again. My goal is to be at 175 pounds by the time I start teaching this fall (September 8th.) That would make me the same weight I was when I was 18 years old!

The diet I'm following is reduced carbohydrate and vegetarian. That's what I used to lose the 34 pounds in 2003.

 

[Joyciemc]

Hi! I've popped in here a few times, and love how supportive everyone is of each other. It's about time I became serious about getting healthy, so count me in!

I put on weight sloooowly through college and have managed to lose some of it, always gaining it back. I'm hoping to lose 30 lbs (ambitious!). I haven't found what works for me yet, but I'm starting with the basics- talking long walks and eating healthy. What I want most is for my energy level to come back up (and being able to wear a bathing suit for a change would be nice).

I hope I can follow the good example set on the board!

 

[2bemarried]

My name is Kristy. I joined WISH back in Nov. of '02 when I started planning our wedding...and then fell off the wagon and since the wedding in 5/03 I've gained an extra 10 pds. I'm 5'2" and up over 225 pds currently. I just hate the way my stomach and rear end looks and I feel so drained at the end of the day. I would love to be back at 180 where I was in high school. I really want to lose the extra pounds and be healthy. I joined Weight Watchers on Wednesday and my husband is goine to do the program with me.

 

[Disney4me04]

I am going on WW and working out...starting today April 11Th

I have 100 pounds to do. I have not completly figured out our DisneyLand 2005 trip. But I should be at my goal weight by then. We are going August or October of 2005!

Looking forward to losing it and rewarding my pounds lost with Disney Dollars!
