Take the DIS WISH challenge here

[StitchGirl]

Hi everyone--

I'm a semi-lurker here on the DIS boards, and have yet to post on the WISH board!

I am on Weight Watchers-- the Core plan has worked so far (1 week, at least ).

I am also training to run the half marathon at Disney in January!!

Hope to be able to post often!

I'm rejoining! I joined this thread two years ago and lost 27 pounds. I've kept 15 off so this time I'd like to lose 20 by next summer's cruise. I look forward to joining with all of you again. For me, it will be Weight Watchers.....wish me luck and success!

Welcome jlawall and Good Luck!!!!

I'm another Melissa and I just joined the DIS yesterday after lurking for many months. I'd like to try and lose twenty pounds in the next year in time for graduation. I recently joined a gym and I hope that going there combined with eating less sweets will help me.

Hi Gang long time no see! I hope you are all doing well. I have been better that is for sure. I am trying to start my Atkins over again today. Wish me luck. I am desperately hoping to make it to Disney World in December but financially it is not looking too good but I wanna pretend that I am and have that trip as my weight loss goal. I wanna try to lose between 40-45 pounds by then. I know that if I stick to the Atkins induction I can do it. I lost 30-35lbs in the first 2.5 months when I did Atkins last time and that was with cheats so I am going for the gusto this time.

I hope everyone is doing well and I will visiting here more frequently now!

Have A Disney Day!!!!!!!

I would like to join the WISH boards as well. I am 25 years old and a mother 3. I joined Curves about 2 months ago and expected that to be enough to lose the weight. I ended up using the exercise as an excuse to indulge in sweets (my biggest weakness). Anyway, in the last 2 months instead of losing weight, I gained 10 lbs. When I got on the scale at 189 lbs on Tuesday I knew something had to be done. I am only 11 lbs away from my weight when I was 9 months pregnant with my second child. I went out and bought the SBD book and today is Day 1. I would like to be about 145lbs for our trip in Jan.
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
Here's to new friendships and new beginnings...and to taking off these extra 44 lbs!!!!

Welcome mrsschelp!!!

Good Luck with the weight loss and getting those extra pounds off before your trip. At least your "baby" is still a baby. Mine is almost 10 years old and I'm finally getting around to getting rid of this extra weight... better late than never

HI

I joined WW at work program this week and will be trying the flex program first. Really help having those meetings in the office.

Will be adding 30 minutes of exercising 4 days a week at first.

Would like to be 25 pounds lighter by Thanksgiving - next trip to "the WORLD". Lofty goal but I have to aim high.

Excited to find this board.

Welcome Erin!!! Good luck with your goal and I think you'll love weight watchers. I've been doing it for almost 3 weeks so far and I love it!

Okay. I have been watching my weight for the last 30 years. Yes, I'm only 42. It's been a long haul. I think if I would put it down it might help, so here I go. I would love to lose 20 pounds from now till next June/ July and keep it off. What do I think I could realistically lose?

I think I would like to lose 8-10 lbs before my cruise.

Now, I have a bad thyroid and am on meds. I would like to go to the gym at least 3 times a week, and walk at least 3 times a week.

I really think if I had you guys out there to chat with I may stay more on track.

So there it is. Wish me luck.

Michelle

Hello fellow DISWISHers. Weighed in this past Friday and lost 2.2lbs. That put me back on the right track, as the week before I had gained 1.6lbs. Still doing the WW Flex Points, also trying to add some more walking. Here's hoping everyone else here has a good week next week.

I just changed over to the WW Core plan last week. I lost 3.8 pounds over the Labor Day holiday. I'm very pleased with the program so far. I'll let you all know next week if the trend downward continues!

Take care,
T

With 395 days until our Eastern Cruise - I would like to be a few sizes smaller - Im not looking to be the size of Jennifer Aniston, that is definately not in the cards for me - just a few healther sizes smaller.

Especially because we would like to start our family next year I want to be healthy for me, my hubby and our child (ren).

Im not sure if I plan on following any one plan in particular - I do have a supply of the Dr.Phil Shape Up Supplements that I think I will use along with eating smaller portions, exercise and the support of the other WISHers.

So if anyone has some helpful words of encouragement - please send them my way - Sunday Sept 19th is the beginning of my healthy lifestyle - WISH me luck.

Thanks for letting me be a WISHer!! :

Good luck to you, I hope that we both have the staying power to succeed (we will!) I would like to lose 45 pounds by the end of April. A big goal, I know, but possible. I am just starting (again) WW.

Hi all you Wishers!!
My goal is to lose 20 pounds, but more importantly getting healthy. I am a carb addict and am probably in danger of adult onset diabetes if i don't change my eating habits. I am ready for a lifestyle change, not a diet. I plan to seriously cut back on carbs using a modified Atkins plan, more like South Beach Diet, incorporating only good carbs like whole wheat flour products, organic items and good carb fruits like raspberries and blueberries. I have an extremely fancy black tie wedding to go to in one month at The Beverly Hills Hotel and I have a beautiful dress that does fit, but would look even better if I was 10 pounds thinner.

My exercise plan consists of 6 days a week of walking and 4 days a week of Pilates and exercise band type training. I have already joined the new YMCA in my area but it will not be built until January. When it opens i will go there 4 days a week and do Step aerobics which I LOVE!

I really think this thread and board can help me because I really need some motivation to help me get through. I am an emotional eater and I go through phases of just not caring about what I look like.

It is time for a change and I am ready!!

I am 150 pounds. I would like to be 130 by the time I go to Disney world in Dec 2004.
I am a lifetime member of Jenny Craig. I have not been involved with it for about a year and have gained a few pounds. The lowest I got at Jenny Craig the first time was around 140. I'm going to try it again.
I would love to fit into my clothes better. I started on the treadmill today and Joined the YMCA this week. "WISH" me luck!!!

 

[My2PrincessesMom]

Been on WW for about 12 weeks and have lost 24.6 and am only 5.4 from my trip goal. I have more to lose but that is my goal for right now. I can not wait. DH, FIREPOWER and I are doing it together with Mom. We are helping each other. Love it. Can't wait to say I met my disney goal..... I will achieve.

Hi all,

I have been lurking around for the last few weeks and have finally decided it's time to join WISH. I joined WW (again) last Monday and lost 7 pounds my first week. I have 70 more pounds to go, but I know I can do it this time.

I have been walking about 2.5 miles three to four times a week for the last 6 weeks and intend to add another mile each day next week. I also plan on starting some resistance training within the next couple of weeks.

I am excited about joining a great group of people for encouragement and hope to be able to encourage others.

Good luck everyone!!!
