Hi all!! I would love to take the WISH challenge with you and join in. I started Weight Watchers on Monday and I have a lot of weight to lose. This could take a while.

TO OUR HEALTH!!!

Well, well....almost 11 months later, to the day, I can finally say I MADE IT!!!!! I have reached my original weight goal, even though I NEVER thought I'd last this long. I would like to obtain that 75 lb clippie though, so maybe I'll tackle those 2 lbs next year.

Happy, Healthy Holidays to all the WISHers!!!!






Edited to change 10 months to 11.

Awesome Job Kim!!!!! You inspire the rest of us, especially the WW's.

I'm trying to lose 40-45lbs and stay healthy! There's a lot of diabetes and heart disease in my family that I'm hoping to prevent (or postpone) by changing my lifestyle. Wish me luck!

Okay...I'm ready! I've been working out at least four times a week for four months, found a wonderful personal trainer to coach me once per week, and am on my way. I need some encouragement from others who are struggling too, not just DH who never gains a pound!

I only want to lose 15 pounds, but I want my body fat percentage somewhere around 22%. I mostly want to get back in shape...firm up, be healthy and strong.

I started out in August at 174 lb, 33.9% body fat, size 14.
I am currently 165 lb, 28.6% body fat, but still a size 12.
I want to be 145-150 lb, 22% body fat, and a size 8-10.

Hi. I'm somewhat new..i stumbled upon this and i think this is a really great idea. In the past year I have gained weight and i like to joke around and blame my boyfriend for making me so happy..(my grandmother always told me that you gain weight when you're happy). I would love to be a part of this . My goal is to lose 30 pounds.

Sign me up!

I am Fortysomething and my couch potato junk food ways are catching up with me!
I plan to drink more water (instead of diet soda).
I plan to eat at least 5 servings of veggies every day (french fries and potato chips don't count!)
I plan to avoid processed foods (white rice, pasta, flour etc)
I get one "cheat" per week (so I don't give up completely)
I am adding at least 3 30 minute workouts to my life....since I currently do nothing anything will be better....stationary bike, walking, exercise videos...

I need to lose about 15-20 pounds...it might not sound like much but when you are self indulgent and have zero will power...it isn't going to be easy.
I started today!

I am joining in! My goal is to become more healthy and in the process lose weight so that it helps my asthma.

I had a BR back in Feb stating that was the reason I couldn't exercise.. yeah right! It's b/c I lacked the motivation. Well I am now 190 and would love to lose 60 pounds. I plan on recording what I eat, and eating at the table.

I will NOT beat myself up if I miss a meal, if I do eat something while watching tv sitting on the couch, or need some chocolate. I will just remind myself that it is not healthy, and not how I want to be.

I look forward to being succesful with everyone!

Good Luck to all and me!

I'd like to sign up. I'm starting the south beach diet at the begining of the year.

I want to lose 40 lbs by September. I am doing WW points on my own and am doing my best to stay off the scale. I am planning on weighing once a month, unless someone has a beter idea. I find myself weighing weekly which leads to several time a week and then several time a day. I seem to become obsessive. I figure once a month should be good with that in mind. I am due to weigh in on 1/26/04 whuch is the day before I cruise. I hope it will be a good one so as not to be disapponted on the cruise. I am not concerned about the cruise because I usually manage to lose weight. I assume it is becasue of all the salads they have and fish.

I appreciate any and all support. Thanks for reading

Help me shed some pounds, please! As tomorrow is the start of another year, today I promise that I must start exercising to lose weight. I sit all day at the office and come home only to sit in from of the tv or computer. I can not stand going to my closet or dresser and not finding something that fits the way it once did. I currently wear a size 14 and want to get back down to size 10 ( 6 or 8 would be wonderful, but let's not push my luck). That's what? 30 pounds?

So, who can point me in the direction of an easy, thorough workout video? I'm thinking I want to try Pilates and I like Denise Austin. I'm trying to acquire treadmill, maybe a stationary bike. Any other low-impact ideas?

 

[goldcupmom]

Count me in! I need all the motivational help I can get. Joined WW in Jan 2003 - lost 37 lbs. Then my MIL died of cancer, My mother died, my SIL died and well, the stress just got me. Haven't been able to stick to anything since. I've since 'rejoined' WW 3 times. I'm rejoining again next week and this time I have to do it. I'm 44 and my family has a history of becoming diabetic at 48, so I want to lose, need to lose.

I need to lose about 30-35 lbs to get to the goal my Dr. set, but I really want to lose about 50 lbs. My niece is getting married in Lakeland FL July 2, so we are going back to Universal. I REALLY want to be MUCH skinnier by the wedding.

I need to read through all about doing this, but I will do this!

thanks
Julie

Happy New Year, everyone! I resolve to eat better/less and exercise more. I plan on doing a modified version of the South Beach Diet. Working out will include using DH's Bowflex and walking.

I'm off to a so-so start. Did the exercise, but the eating changes will have to wait until my coffee-lovers' ice-cream birthday cake is gone. So unfair, having 12/31 birthday!

Is there anything to that stress-cortisol link they talk about in infomercials? I think so. I don't know much about how their product works, but I do know that crying at my desk, eating chocolate at 3:00 AM as I pulled yet another all-nighter certainly wasn't helping the cause. So another part of my WISH plan is to either find a new job or make drastic changes to my current position. I have applied for a new job and have made some suggestions to the VP at my current one, so maybe some progress will be made soon.

To quantify my fitness goals, I hope to lose maybe 10-15 pounds, but I'm not picky. If muscle weighs more than fat as they say, I'm OK with the weight staying and the cellulite going! My BMI, even now at my heaviest (outside of my 2 pregnancies), is within the "normal" range. But I think if the folks who designed that BMI chart ever saw me in a bikini, they would revamp their numbers immediately! I must tone, shape, and firm -- stat!

I've been lying about being 28 for years now. (Why 28? The truth is too depressing, and 29 is too suspicious.) But if things don't change, I will have to turn "32" on my next birthday. It's getting harder and harder to pass for 28...

So please WISH me luck. And good luck to all of you. I will check in soon!

Happy New year all!

Just checking in - got on the scale this morning and I'm now officially down 20 lbs! Yay!! O.A. is working out great for me ~ I guess it's just what I needed after trying everything else over the years and yo-yo-ing.

Best of luck and happiness to all!

I know how you feel. I have a 12/30 birthday and I was literally scarfing down my delicious strawberry whipped cream cake yesterday to GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE!!! God, it was good.

Anyway, good luck and don't feel bad about the cake. It only happens once a year. It's the stuff that's not worth gorging on that should make us feel bad!

 

[julia & nicks mom]

So this is going to be the year that I am in the disney pictures b/c I am not embarrassed by how much I weigh! I am going to weight watchers this week (I have been successful in the past on weight watchers) and I am going to start walking on my parents treadmill (4-5 times a week)

I hope that by posting here and adding a counter to my sig - I will stay motivated!

OK... about a month ago I got on here and said I was taking the WISH challenge starting in the New Year... well, here it is. I didn't do very well with my headstart in '04, but now I've really got to do it! Eat better, exercise, and, for my mental health, take time for ME!!!! I have zero willpower, and hate to work out... so it's going to be a tough road!!! If I can stay out of the bottom drawer of the refrigerator at work, that will be half the battle. (The 'produce' drawer is a CHOCOLATE drawer instead.) Duct tape might help (over my mouth, not over the drawer...)

"WISH" me luck! 22 lbs to go!!
