I'd like to join in.

I just joined Curves and am going to either walk, do Jazzercise or a work out video at home on the days that I am not at Curves.

I'm also following the diabetic diet that my Doctor recommended to see if that helps any!

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.

Starting over again. I posted in late February and lost 10 pounds but since gained it back. I guess it is a matter of dealing with my past (job related) that keeps haunting me. I am envious of others who live life effortlessly. Yeah, I know life is unfair. Reading all of these posts have kind of boosted me.

With that being said, my goal has been to get my weight down to 225(losing 60 pounds). I am pretty good at walking at least 1/2 hour a day, but my eating is out of control. Once I kick the fast food habit (and it feels like a habit), I should be ok. Thanks for the vine.

It isn't fair I know!! Everyone has their cross to bear. Mine are overeating, thin straight hair, bad complextion and small ****s!!LOL
Don't I sound dreamy?

It's easy to get caught up in looking at what others have that we don't. I do that all the time. Just remember you have to work with what you are given. Try to stay positive!! Just think how good you will feel once you start losing the weight!!

I am on Jenny Craig in my second week and have lost 5 pounds already!! It's expensive but it's worth every penny!! I highly recomend it.

Hope this helps!! GOOD LUCK!!! We are all here for one another!

I'm ready to take the challenge. We just got back from WL last week, and now I'm ready to lose my extra pounds! I want to start eating sensibly and eat smart carbs rather than simple carbs. I plan to exercise for 1 hour 5 days a week. I want to lose 75 pounds by the time we visit WDW next year. Wanna be unafraid to wear a bathing suit! Wish me luck!!!! If anything can get me motivated, it's looking forward to a trip to WDW!

cstraub,

After reading your posts I looked into Jenny Craig today and proud to say I am a new Platinum Member. Had my first meal tonight, and it was surprisingly really good. Can't wait to see how it goes. Thanks for the recommendation!

 

[cstraub]

I'm so excited for you!!! You are going to love JC. It takes most of the headache out of dieting (eating better for life). I love the support and how everything is planned for you. The money you spend on the program is a big motivator (it is for me)! The first few days can be tough but you get through it.

Over all I have been with JC for around 2 years. I am also a platinum memeber. I started with JC at 171, dropped to 144 in 6 months or so. I have been away for a year and a half and never went above 154. I think that is pretty good. JC taught me alot about portion size and to think about what I was eating. I have now beenon JC for 1 week and 2 days and have lost 6 pounds. I am down to 148!! This time I want to drop down to 135 which was my original goal. You can't do JC forever but it's nice to know it's there when you need it.

I send DH to pick up my food if I don't feel I need the the pep talk from JC. Just an option when you get farther along.

Good lUCK!!!!!!!

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!
-Melissa

Okay, this was on 9/4/04 --I weighed 131lbs. (I'm only 4'11"). I've lost 6lbs and my BMI is 25.1. I have a slimfast meal bar in the a.m. with my coffee (I never use to eat anything in the morning) and lean cuisine for lunch and Early dinner. I'm satisfied. Evening snacking was my problem. Huge bowls of ice cream late at night. I'm going to bed when the kids go to bed, so it takes care of that. I'm exercising (painting my house), but not back at curves yet. I was wearing a size 14 shorts when I first posted. Last night they almost slipped off me, so I dug out some old ones I kept and they fit good--size 9!!!
I'm really pleased with my progress!

Well one month into my diet and I have lost a total of 8 pounds. I thought I could have lost more but I am on the path to my goal of 199. Only 20 more pounds to go. One point of info, two weeks into my diet I was getting three different readings from my dial type scale(always using the lowest weight, of course) then I bought a Taylor digital scale from Costco. I can say that the dial scale was NOT giving me the correct weight and that is what may have given me false readings the first two weeks. I am trying to only weigh myself once a week so that any spikes in my weight from fluids do not discourage me.

I am a newbie to the DISboards and was wondering what the wish icons were for. This is a great idea. I think this kind of method (putting yourself out there) will make me more accountable.
My goal is to eat healthier (more fruits and veggies), exercise at least 3 days a week and lose 45 lbs.--most, if not all of it, by our trip next May (which would roughly be losing 1.5 lbs. a week). My two downfalls are M&M's (which we are using to reward my daughter during her potty training, so I need some extra willpower!) and fresh baked bread.
Thanks for this great idea of a health forum...I look forward to hearing everyone's progress, as I know that will help to be a motivator for me.
Good luck to all!

Well, I haven't checked in for a while. I started on Aug 26th, so it has been a little over 4 weeks. I wasn't exactly "good" for a while there and gained a pound back from my "prewish" weight. On Sept 19th (one week ago) I went back to low carb. I have been good and have lost 8lbs on top of the 7 prewish lbs....so my grand total, so far, is 15lbs!!!

So this is my first post with my new 5lb wish ribbon!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

 

[Disneygrl36]

I want to be a part of the Wish Challenge. I am doing Weight Watchers & have already lost 8 lbs. I am excercising too!!

Hey everyone, I'm starting again, taking the challenge. I did this last Oct. and did Atkins and I went fron 212 to 168 by December. Then on Dec. 28th, the day my dd turned 7 months old, I found out I was PG with my new baby boy who just turned 1 month old on tuesday. Sooooo, after all the baby weight I'm back to 198 and ready to start again. Although this time I'm not doing atkins. It worked, but I'm nursing, so gotta have carbs

This time I'm doing a strict diet of mostly fruits, veggies, and meat (except pork). I'm staying away from all sodas and junk food and going on a strict exercise routine. I hope to lose 10-15 lbs by mid November, as I am going to a Wedding. And by my dd 2nd birthday in May, I hope I have lost atleast 50-60 lbs. I just hope to be able to wear a size 10 again like I did in Highschool. (But I do have 3 kids, so I'm not expecting mircales )

 

[janets]

I have been on WW for almost 8 weeks now (5 on my own and 3 through the program) and have already lost 13 lbs. We are going to WDW the first week of December and I hope to have lost about 10 more lbs by then. Trying out my new clipart signature as well.

 

[goofy!]

Me too, me too,

I want to join WISH too. I did Atkins last year and lost 40lbs in 4 months, but didn't really make it a lifetime habit. Consequently, the weight came back as I started adding more and more carbs (I am a certified carb-a-holic). So, starting today, I am doing a modified Atkins, with some healthy/smart carbs thrown in.

Hopefully, I will be posting soon with good results

Update: 1 week, 5 lbs down. Only 45 to go. I get my first 5lb clippie. Love that Atkins diet

 

[capthooksmom]

After reading many of the posts on the WISH forum, I'm inspired to join. I need to lose 100-120 pounds and lower my cholesterol.
I don't know exactly how I'm going to do it. Joining a gym is probably not an option for me for the next few months, although I do intend to walk every day. I'm also going between trying South Beach or doing the diabetic diet (which I did when I was pregnant).
I don't know anyone who needs to lose as much weight as I do, but would love to hear from others who have done it or are doing it now.

Thanks,
Dawn

 

[KimRaye]

Dawn, I don't know off-hand if anyone is currently trying to lose that amount, but I know 2 WISHers that HAVE!!! Check the threads, and turn your clippies on, you'll see TWO that I know of!

Stay inspired, visit WISH often!!!

Onward & Downward, and WELCOME to ALL!!!!
