I will continue my attempt to help us catch up to Donald tomorrow.
Good night!
(I'm not that competitive. Am I?)
Thread hopping again, trying to keep up with both. This caught my eye and you might have already left, but I was curious and googled (well, yahooed) it and came up with the following:
Mickey Mouse Bar (choc covered ice cream bar 2.5 oz)
cal 131, fat 9.6, carbs 11.03, pro 1.27
Rather sure it has no fiber, comes to 4 points for my WW - not too bad!
Dole Whip, 1/2 cup
80 cal, 0 fat, 18 carbs, 0 pro
I was not aware it was not a Disney original, or that it was ff soft serve, so not much too it, but still came up as 2 points - not a big pineapple fan, so have never tried it
Will have to enter the MMB in my WW for my next trip - although honestly, tracking while at the amusement parks will probably not happen. And I always end up maintaining or losing anyway since it is non-stop for us!

1 pound in a week is a GOOD & HEALTHY weight loss. I lost close to 2 pounds and I don't want to lose more than that in a week because I will just gain it back. I know my body, I know if I lose weight fast, I'm just going to put it back on even faster than I lost it!
But, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start over!! Make losing 1 pound your goal for this upcoming week and then anything over that is just bonus!!
Will be cleaning and shopping this weekend. Preparing meals as much as possible on Sunday for the work week. Sounds like fun huh?
My healthy choices will be shopping the perimeter of the grocery aisles only. No junk food makes it into my house unless the Mr. sneaks it in. Yeah, I know he has a stash, but he doesn't know I know.

.QOTD: what are you doing this weekend? and how will you incorporate healthy choices into that activity?
The only planned activity we have is a concert. DS16 is playing in All District Band this afternoon
I will get a walk in before or after the concert. I've got pork chops thawed for dinner and I am heading to the kitchen to makes soup for lunch. Maybe tomorrow we can go somewhere and walk...we have some great parks and walking trails!
And... I'm going to drink my water. I've had a terrible time with that.
This is a CHALLENGE and Donald is beating the snot out of Mickey right now!!
As you can see by my post count, not many posts for all the years I've been a member. I'm always the lurker with nothing to say, but I'm trying.
Let's start posting and supporting each other!!

Hey everyone, I am new to this thread, just joined and was chosen to be on team Mickey! I am excited, and nervous as heck, because I feel like I have to be even more accountable for my choices more than ever!
I am currently 166 lbs, but was 178 when I started my lifestyle change (hate the word diet) in October.
What got me going was a) a mom that I do not get a long well with asking me when I was due and b) seeing how I looked in my September 2011 WDW pictures. Also, how nasty i felt while in WDW.
Previous to Christmas I was 164, but put on 2lbs over a 3 week span
I use the app my fitness pal and try very hard to not only stick to my calorie goal, but incorporate more fresh fruits and veggies.
I try to get to the gym 5 days a week, but life gets crazy sometimes and I make sure to go at a minimum of 3!
My favorite exercise classes are Zumba, spinning and a circuit training. I am not a fan of tread mills, free weights, or anything that doesn't involve other people lol! I seem to push harder when a teacher is eyeballing me!
I have a fantastically supportive boyfriend, who is tiny, but has also started the new lifestyle change with me, and has lost 22lbs so far(think he put 3 back on over holidays though)! To be fair, although he is small to me, he has put on 45 lbs since we started dating 2 years ago.. he was emaciated then though lol!
He is my rock, and never pushes me beyond my limits but also doesn't let me get out of work outs or healthy eating! God bless him, because I can be a total whiny baby!
I have 2 awesome children 11 and 5! I nanny but tonight is my last night. With that said, I have been working for my friends pet sitting/walking business and that will be my new full time job! Which is great, because it keep me active!
My goal is to be 130 lbs, which I don't believe I have been since I was about 9 or 10...no really...
My biggest weight was 208 in December 2009. In January 2010 my sons father cheated on me with a close friend and left me. I went down to 168 from not eating and just overall depression.
In February 2010, I started dating my best friend of 13 yearsI had always secretly been in love with him, so I was and still am smitten!
We will be going on 2 years this February, and I couldn't be happier!
I am not sure how this all works, so any pm's with advice, and encouragement will be greatly appreciated!
To answers todays QOTD- I am taking the little boy I nanny to a roller rink party, so I will be roller skating for exercise today, and also taking my kids for a walk to our little town
Our next (in our minds) planned WDW vacation is for Feb 2013. By then I would like to love pictures of myself!
Pics of my heaviest and as of Yesterday
and now
We love Disney on Ice! We didn't go this year and the kids were
I posted the recipe for the low carb White Chicken Chili I made yesterday on the Recipe board.
PACKING, PACKING, PACKING! Which makes me feel like this:
We're also celebrating my brother's birthday tonight, and while I'm not sure what the actual meal will consist of, I know he's requested strawberry cheesecake. I will have a slice, and journal it.
That is fantastic! What a great opportunity!yes, i'm moving there for four months to do the college program!
Hello everyone,
It's your friendly weight-keeper here
Weigh-ins have been coming in like crazy, so I don't have much time to post and read replies, but I will respond to a PM if you need me.
My goal is to post on here, so it's easier for some to just click the send a private message link in my name to send your weigh-ins.
People have been doing great and we're off to a wonderful start. Some people have inspired me to kick my butt even more next week, so it's great for me as well.
Right now, Team Donald is in the lead, but not by much. I am still missing weigh-ins from 33 Team Mickey participants and 30 Team Donald participants, so please keep them coming
You have until Monday night at 7 PM EST to send them to me before I post the week's results.
Have a great Sunday everyone
But he ate it all anyway. 
ah, TOM. always there when you (don't) need it! how was lunch?
TOM wasn't too bad today. Well, except for my mood. I thought that was why the gyn prescribed BC.
There was actually nothing GF available, except for stuff like chocolate. I ended up eating at my sister's and having an egg, a slice of cheese, and a few slices of GF ham from the deli.
their post count is up but they have also had some drama and snarkiness. i'd rather have less posts and more shiny happy people on our team! just sayin'

Good Afternoon Everyone!
I'm with you... I played volleyball in HS and was a Flag Twirler for our Citywide marching band. I like you remember thinking I could have been thinner back then, and well now I wish I could look like that. I know it seems so hard to go back... but that person is still inside. I realized that this week when I started goes to them gym, I was so sore but it felt so good! It was how I felt during practice and I was like yeah I remember this! So yes use those pictures as motivation!
BTW, someone posted about how cool it was for you to be Mickey... I agree, like the pp I know that there are people in those costumes but sometimes I forget...So the first time I saw that picture I was like where is she? Then I realized you were Mickey... amazing!
On a completely different note, have any of you done Weight Watchers in the past? Well, if you're not familiar with it, in a nutshell, you have an allotted amount of points each day. Foods you eat are assigned a number of points based on the number of carbs, proteins, fiber and fat they have. So in a day, I get 27 points. I went to Skyline Chili and got a deluxe black bean burrito. It has no meat (black beans only), and I really the only thing "bad" about it was the shell and the cheese they put on top. So I'm thinking I'm doing "okay." I really thought I'd walk out (skipping the crackers) for about 11 or 12 points. So I get home, go to Skyline's website, pull the nutritional info and plug it in to get the point value. Guess how many points my one burrito at lunch cost me? EIGHTEEN POINTS!Moral to the story? PRE-PLAN!
. Oh well, it could be worse, right?
I only lost .4 of a lb this week, but I know I've been eating much better, has to be due to a little muscle increase, 9 straight days of 20 min exercise...right??
