Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[My2PrincessesMom]

Well, week one with the Wish and I am happy to say , I have lost 4 pounds with WW this week. 22.2 total but 4 with WISH. This was a tough one but only 7.8 until our disney trip in October. 30 is my and DH goal. He has about 5 I think. Will be tough the next couple of weeks so I may need some help, DD first b-day, family visiting for 2 weeks and lots and lots of stress. It is nice to have people finally say something that I look like I have lost some. 20+ is hard work and even though that is just a bit of what I plan to lose, it is nice to be recognized. I think I will stick with FLex plan and try out the new Core later. To all who are trying, keep trying, keep believing, and remember we all have a little Disney Magic inside us all.

Have a Magical Day.......

Great job Mytwoprincessesmom, 22.2 pounds is an awesome accomplishment!! You should be very proud of yourself. It's always rewarding to see someone take notice of your loss. Good luck in the next couple of weeks - just take it one day at a time.

Congrats to your DH too!!

I totally agree with Tera. The fat free puddings are great, and you can add fat free cool whip for 0 points and 15 calories for 2 tablespoons. If you mix it a little it is sooooo yummy It's basically the only 'dessert' I have had in almost 2 months and I am a dessert freak too. Haven't touched a piece of cake, a cookie, pie ...nothing. Check out this link for a thread that I started. It has some good ideas for things you can eat that taste good!

P.S. I'm a night time snacker too and I have been able to lose 30 pounds in the past 2 months. Just be smart about it. Some good suggestions that I have found:

*Smart Pop Popcorn
*Shortcake Cups, Strawberries & fat free cool whip- Total of 130 calories and 2 1/2 WW points- SOO GOOD! and less than the 300 you are eating now
*The Fat Free Pudding mentioned- some flavors are soo good too- Devils Food is my favorite
*Quakes popcorn cake snacks- I've tried ranch and cheese flavored. both are about 60-70 calories for 10 of them. They're actually pretty good.

Was at the Doctor today for an update of the blood work, and I
Got on the scale,
I let out a whoop, it's another 15 lbs, and I'm 15 lbs away from high school a long long time ago.
I have 85 more to go, but I'm finally, after all these years, losing the weight. I should have moved to Florida years ago, if I knew it would help in the weight loss.
Just have to get my picture updated. This is me, 65lbs ago.
WhooHooo.

Congratulations Moosysmom!! Way to go - it's an uphill climb, but your gonna make it!! All the best with the rest.

 

[Tera]

Congratulations Moosysmom!!! That's great!!!! Keep up the good work.

Karen - Thanks for the link and the ideas. Never even though of putting fat free cool whip on my pudding

Hi everyone! I'm back for the 3rd time! I rejoined WW last Thursday and have been doing ok so far. As we all know, there is no good time to start! And my current obstacles are having to deal with my DGM who is dying from cancer. She hasn't been able to eat or drink anything since last Friday, so she will pass within the week. I'm just praying that I can overcome the food challenges that I will meet when I go out-of-town for the funeral and everything.

But, I'm VERY happy to be back on the WISH board! Several months ago, I resigned my 20 lb. clippie, but I know that I will see it again!

 

[My2PrincessesMom]

To disneyfan, sorry for what is going to be coming. Keep it all in perspective and know each moment is going to pass and take one meal at a time. Don't forget you mints and gum to make the snacks and stress easier.

Ready to take the challenge starting September. I want to push through and drop another 10% of my body weight from 222 to 199. I think that is about as low as I should go, although the US Govt seems to think I should weigh 170 lbs

I weighed 270lbs in Jan 2002 and have lost almost 50lbs through exercise and small eating changes. I think that it is time to really start eating healthier and keep up the exercise. Hopefully this will help keep me motivated.

Well tomorrow morning is my first weekly weigh-in!!! I have not cheated at all in the past 8 days and feel better( and a little hungry!). Wish me luck !

 

[Tera]

Good Luck Tonyspad! I hope your weight in goes well

 

[Tonyspad]

Three pounds lost, not bad for 9 days. 26 more to go.

 

[Firepower]

1st weigh in on WISH. Gained 1.6 lbs this past week, not very happy I really felt that I lost that much or more this past week. Oh well, still have lost 19 lbs overall, and tomorrow begins a new week on WW. Good luck to everyone in thier weight loss ventures.

Weighed in this week and had a little set back. Gained .8 but I am not concerned. I will regroup next week and make it all up and more. I know it. We, DH and mom had a tough week too, but we will all get back to it and meet our personal goals. More exercise this week and better counting of points.

I am just counting my days... WDW here we come.

I'd Like to join!
I need to lose 20lbs. and get a healthier BMI (26.9 now).
I was doing Curves pretty religiously from Jan.-June, but then school let out and I have all 5 kids all the time--just couldn't find the 'me time'. School's back in and I'd like to start working toward a healthier me!
