in a good way...only 20 bucks at target.
I wanted to get a jump start on preparing for our 100 day mark!! 
) The funniest part was that no one really told anyone they were thinking about going and getting them until they already had them! I think we were all thinking the same thing! "Must get PCMH's before they are gone!!" 
I just found the bag of them in my room the other day and it really took me back to the funny stories we all shared., but not soon enough. 
Like what in the world am I going to wear to WDW!! 
When you lose weight consistantly like I have you have no wardrobe......like. at. all. 
No one wants to see that!! No matter how skinny I get!! ). Now that I say this I'll probably have something to come here and report everyday from here on out. Good things of course. 
Hi Camille -
I keep waiting for an update. I hope you had a wonderful holiday season and I am sure you are in full trip planning mode for your upcoming trip - you must be getting so excited. 4 months! Yeah!
And yes!! I'm getting really excited!! We had a wonderful holiday season this year! How about you?we got one of those jumbo fitness balls with DVD workouts man those they hurt you.
Besides! It helps with building core muscle, the ball stays under my back just below my shoulders and then of course I have my feet on the floor. I don't get as good a range when doing my flys like I can on a bench, eh oh well, works well enough for me!
The countdown calendar is a lot of fun to make, I get excited seeing all the pictures from our last trip and I get excited at the idea of Mackie taking down the Mickey heads to reveal what we did or where we were. 
We texted back and forth some when he was in Southern Calif., for Christmas with his family. I miss him so much, he brought a lot of laughter to these boards. I think I forget about reporting things here because I think it will bore everyone to death, silly me.
Good for you, Dan!! Do you like it? What does Candi think of it?
Since I have limited room in our upstairs living area/makeshift-gym I use that same kind of ball for my weight bench. Since I only do one type of exercise that I'd need a bench for (flys for the chest) I didn't think it was a good idea to try and squeeze in a weight lifting bench.
4 months ba-by!!!
Okay, it's actually a day shy of being 4 months, but we won't tell anyone.
YAY!! Before you know it, you'll be here!
Nice calendar. I didn't know the Mickey heads were gone until it was too late. You have quite a stash there!
Not having anything to wear because you are losing weight is a good thing! Definative sign that you are doing something right.
i remember the mickey head heist...i still have over 400 in my posession just can not decide which color i like best for our walls.
she really enjoys the work out it gives, i have just messed around on it, i used noelle as my free weights, makes for harder bench press as she likes to giggle and wiggle as i lift her...so makes you work that core not to drop her.
I bet that giggly and wiggly weight is the best workout ever. There are classes out there that teach mom's and dad's to use their babies as their weights during a workout. The kids love the attention and the mama's get toned! I remember the Home Depot Mickey head fiasco!!!
Jordan was ahead of his time... my Home Depot actually just got rid of their Disney paint section recently.
Good idea for a countdown calendar!
That was a lot of fun! Oooh, they removed the Mickey heads?!? I guess we all got them when the gettin was still good. Thanks Jordy!! 4 months ba-by!!!

I know!!

Thank you Michelle, I didn't realize they actually did remove them from the stores.It's a sad, sad day Disers.

It's a really good sign!I can't even get away with wearing what I had from last summer!!
Oh, the Mickey Paint Chip Heist, I remember it well!
Too funny, I actually thought of it just yesterday when Eric decided on his own to make himself a countdown calendar for his room. Poor thing it's 359 days long! It was a lot of little boxes to say the least.
Awww, that is so sweet, bless his little heart. He's such a good boy.
It's a good problem to have, the lack of wardrobe and you are smart to wait. It will be worth it, is already I am sure!
Although I didn't really have a choice on the waiting! I did take a guess as to where I'd be for this next summer with some cotton capri's (that I pretty much live in most days and tour WDW in when it's hot), but I only got a couple pair since that's all they had, hoping I'll fit into the medium's I took a chance getting. I was looking in my closet and found four pair of the large I still have with tags on from last year, I don't know why I bought so many , I really tried to buy and wear as few things as possible so I didn't spend needlessly. Guess I missed the boat on that one. Hoping I can get away with taking them back and trading them for the med. instead. Hmm....
a naked Disney World trip? Now that would be a whole other kind of story!
Sorry, I had to go there.
Hi!
Remember me?
I took a little DIS hiatus, and I'm back. Glad to see you're still here, still losing, still planning. I've got some catching up to do but just had to chuckle a little at your last post. I've lost some weight myself and have been doing a big ole closet purge recently. Talk about not having anything to wear! When the clothes are too big and make you look bigger than you are, it's time for them to go! How sad that we need new things...
I've been wondering how your solor trip went, how your shoes held up. You loved the tennies you got before you left, where they the one's you ended up touring in? You'll have to tell me what one's they are again. And yes, I thought someone would get a kick out of me possibly going to WDW nakers. 
Like you and Cynthia said....good problem to have/darn I have to buy new things.
KAT!! Of course I remember you!! Good to have you back!
You just KNOW I was dyin to use that smilie!!
I know aaallll about the closet purge. Ever since I started losing weight I pretty much average a purge about every four months, it's a good problem to have, but really hard to plan for anything coming up since you don't know what size you'll be and wether or not you can buy something now not knowing how it will fit in a couple of months. I'm glad to hear you are getting rid of any clothes that are too big for you, it's a sure fire way to help you stay on track and keep the weight off. I knew when I started this journey I would not be keeping ANY of the clothes I "grew out of". I didn't want anything to fall back on, I wanted this to be the final time I saw any of the clothes I had from before, no matter how cute or expensive they were. I sorta wish I kept a couple pair of something to look back on so I could see how big I was and how much smaller I am compared to it. Oh well!
If you're worried about the impact on your wallet, have you thought about updating your wardrobe from a thrift store until you've reached your goal weight (then you can splash out on clothes you know you'll have until they actually wear out)?
I love that smilie!
I had an amazing solo trip, thank you for asking.
Hoping while you are laid up from surgery you'll give us all a little TR about your solo trip.
As it turns out, I'll be having knee surgery a week from tomorrow. I have a meniscus tear in my right knee and I'm in pain pretty much every day, all day. I can't wait to get it fixed. Short orthoscopic surgery, 2-3 days on crutches, and then I should feel like brand new, apparently.
Ooooh I'm so sorry. I didn't realize you were having an issue, was this a problem before you left on your trip?
Thank God at the last minute on my solo trip, I decided to take my sneakers. Because I wore them all the time, and they were the only thing I could wear. Also, they are all I wear right now. New Balance sneaks, or Orthaheel (shoes that are made with a built in orthotic) Mary Janes.
Hmmm, for some reason I remember you talking about a bright pair of asics that seemed to feel like a cloud when you wore them. I don't remember you liking a pair of New Balance, man was I off! I'll have to go back and look. Shoes are important! Comfy, cute one's that is.
I have become officially boring with my footwear. Lord help me. I hope that the surgery fixes me enough that might, just might be able to wear a pretty pair of sandals this summer.
And I apologize, that was much more than I planned to say about that!
Oh my goodness! Don't you even worry about going on too much, this is the thread to talk all you want. I like reading it.
It is a good plan to get rid of the clothes so you don't have them to "fall back on." I did so well shopping at Kohl's before the holiday. Their clearance was further marked down, and I had a 20% off coupon, so I ended up buying summer shirts for $2 or less per shirt. AWESOME. Some were even .97.
I think you are smart about not depriving yourself on your trip, I also plan on eating some of the things I eat when I'm there. However I'm not sure I'll be hitting the gym, I decided I'm not sure I can get up for rope drop and do the gym too. Well, see though, as time get's closer I may feel guilty enough that I'll rethink it. I've been tormenting myself about that topic over the last few months, I think it will be strange not to workout that long. We'll see! And yes you are so right it's all about your thinking when approaching the weight issue. Again, welcome and thank you for following along! I love the countdown calendar. Very nice! And I noticed the mickey heads were not in Home Depot anymore. Bummer. But you certainly do have a lifetime supply, so you are good.
Thank you, Mary Ellen.
I agree - hit up Kohls for left over summer clothes. You might be able to find some really inexpensive shirts and stuff. And having no wardrobe because you're skinny is actually pretty cool.
Love the countdown calendar - what a great idea! Alas, in Australia we have no Mickey paint chips
I have a few extra's, Lana.
Great to hear you're still doing well with your weight loss. Shrinking out of your old clothes is definitely a good problem to have
"Splash out on"...I love that saying! It's fun to see what different says people have from different areas, even within your own country!
Feel free to post updates on your weight loss journey - I'd definitely be interested to read about how that's going
Turns out December is too hard of a holiday month to get through and try to lose weight. Who knew?!? I found trying to deprive myself during Christmas made me feel resentful so I gave in when I wanted something every so often. I'm about a pound a half away from hitting my next short term goal though so hopefully it won't be too much longer. I'm still hitting my workouts pretty hot and heavy, although the other day I had this sharp shooting pain from my hand into my forearm while trying to do some bi-cep curls, it looks as though I've injured something so I'll have to either go see the doc about it if it doesn't heal up in a week. Or I'll just have to do hammer curls for the biceps until my forearm/hand heals. 
I finished it the night before but ran out of time to post about it and then the Dis was down before I could get it posted, yes I was up that late. I ended up going and getting another poster frame to make a new one and I'm taking the older one and putting it upstairs into my other living area where I exercise. Now I'll be reminded all the time about our awesome trips! 
- you can never say I do anything hastily -now you know why I'm a bit concerned about buying an entire wardrobe just a few months before a trip) It took me three flippin years just to find a comforter for our bedroom, ooooh bother. But I digress!
Well, it's safe to say I didn't make my 75 lb. goal over the month of Dec.
I'm sure you'll make it there in no time! Hope you haven't done anything too serious to your arm
