I want to lose weight...

Because my Mom is constantly dealing with a bad back and we all know if she weighed a little less, she'd be in less pain.

Because my Grandma knew I could do it and although she passed away in March, I know she'd be proud of me, no matter what.

Because I want to be able to go-go-go instead of slowing down the family in September.

Because I want to live as long as possible and not die from clogged arteries or whatever other health concerns surround fat people.

Because yes, I'd like to wear nice clothes again. My body shape is right 'there' on the verge of being able to wear the (albeit HUGE) largest sizes of the 'normal' clothes and HAVING to wear the 'plus' size clothes. A little frustrating when I KNOW it's all MY FAULT!

I was really tired getting up today- my scale shows a slight gain (Yes, I'm bad- I watch the scale daily- bad habit, but I do it). This thread is just what I need to get my booty in gear and get on my elliptical machine. Thanks!

Today's a new day for all of us !!

One day down ... and 4 more to go until our first official weigh in day !!

*******************************************ZSzeb001_ZSYYYYYYYYUS Come On Girls !!

Here is our Question of the Day today ......

Why would you like to lose weight ?

Morning all..

My reasons for loosing..

I want to fit in a plane seat comfortably

The heat in September would be more bareable with less of me

I want to skinny dip, not CHUNKY DUNK with my husband

 

[scrappinmom]

Good Morning so far

oatmeal for bfast
took dog (also a fattie) on 4 mile walk...he's now panting under the desk as I dis

Going to go throw in the laundry & go mow the lawn !!!

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

WOO HOO- 4 miles??? WOW!

I'm done with my working out- I did it. LOL. That's all. I'm actually rather proud that I've worked out for two weeks now without making any excuses (and goodness I've got a lot of excuses!!!).

Usually during the last 20 minutes, I close my eyes and think of walking around the World Showcase (if I ever use incorrect terms- let me know- I've only been ONCE, poor me!) and what I'm going to eat at Epcot

 

[Msslaydbug]

My DH is joining too. I have to get him a screen name. Lori, I will PM you his info tomorrow.

I can't wait to have him join us !!

Everyone is doing great and like we said on the other thread- what matters here is the fact that- you're conditioning your body to be healthier! Whether you lose 1 pound or 10- getting out there, eating right, and exercising will help ALL OF US during our stay at WDW!

WOO HOO! Keep it up, guys and gals!

I got in a second work-out today. That's the only reason I like working out in the morning- it gives me the OPTION of getting in a second one at night. Otherwise, I tend to procrastinate and not even get ONE workout in there! (I have a cheap elliptical machine from Walmart- so that's what I usually use).

Wow !! I can't believe you got in TWO diffrent workouts !! Good for you !!!

You're right too !! Even if we dont lose anything but keep up walking and conditioning ourselves we won't be so worn out for the parks !

I'm trying to find myself a cute pair of May Jane Crocs for our trip - maybe I will save them as incentive to lose my first 15 lbs or so !!

Way to go ladies!
I did not have a good day today. I ate everything wrong and did no exercise. What in the heck is wrong with me??????? Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. I was just not in the mood for some reason.
CONGRATS to those of you who actually stuck to your plan, whatever that might be! I am so proud of every one of you!!!!

You will do better today Tia !! Just keep remembering how cute you'll look !!

Tia...I'm right there with you. I felt like I ate everything wrong and I also missed/skipped out on my exercise

Let's see a recap of meals....hmmm b-fast cup of coffee, mid day snack...slice of angle food cake with a blob of lite whip cream (strawberries went bad )...late lunch turkey sand with lite mayo/mustard and a slice of cheese ...then dinner...a hamburger Now it's 11:30 and I'm wanting something

Where are my visual reminders when I need them. Oh that's right I didn't go out an get any

You can do it too Today is a new day !!

QOTD: I would like to lose weight for lots of Lori's reasons, but here's my addition: So my shorts stop riding up between my legs! I HATE that!!!! It is so annoying and not to mention uncomfortable!

Oh I hate that !!

there is a weigh in day ?? when is that ?? shoot i better not eat this last sunny side up

Timmy -
The girls had established we were going to weigh in on Friday's !! Only a few more days to go be fore Friday.

He said it really didn't matter to him. He just doesn't want to be referred to as MrAnnie1995 forever . I guess we have to get him his own screen name then! I'll PM you the info later today!

I think I am going to change it to Mojittos People or something since we now have two DH's joining us.

oh that's easy!

1) I want to LIVE long enough to see grandchildren
2) I want to live long enough to travel the world
3) I want to FIT into the rides at WDW comfortably!
4) More energy & less fatigue!
5) I want to look good!!!!!!

I did ok yesterday - exercised for 60 min (walk) ate pretty good, until last night...took dh to see Billy Joel for his bday...& the glowing margarita glasses were too much for me to resist! So I had 3! - that's my biggest downfall! drinking! How awful is THAT? I mean I don't drink a lot! but every weekend it seems I end up having 5 or 6 drinks spread out by 2 days & that's A lot of calories!!!! Need to find a drink I like.....with fewer calories in there....

Sometimes it is just to hard to pass up yummy drinks !! At least you got your excersize in - that's great !!

truly knows what you mean... I dont do it every nite but when I have some downtime it is really nice to unwind with something Ice chilled in your hands...

Summertime is perfect for after work cold drinks !!

Mr Annie1995 will now be forever known as nightghost! He'll get on here later today and say hi!

I can't wait to "meet" him !!

You've got some great reasons !!

I am also a chronic scale hopper. I have been known to be on it a few times a day !! I need to cut it out !!

I want to skinny dip, not CHUNKY DUNK with my husband

OMG !! My DH wouldn't mind even if I did CHUNKY DUNK with him But there is NO WAY I am going there !!

You crack me up !!

Good Morning so far

oatmeal for bfast
took dog (also a fattie) on 4 mile walk...he's now panting under the desk as I dis

Going to go throw in the laundry & go mow the lawn !!!

A 4 mile walk I would be just like your poor dog !! Wow do you have serious motivation

GOOD JOB !!!

WOO HOO- 4 miles??? WOW!

I'm done with my working out- I did it. LOL. That's all. I'm actually rather proud that I've worked out for two weeks now without making any excuses (and goodness I've got a lot of excuses!!!).

Two weeks is excellent !!

I should picture myself walking aound the World Showcase - that might get me a little more motivated to walk. Thanks for the tip

Today I exercised!!! My day 1 of my 9 week Couch to 5k program. UGH! I did it on my gazelle because I am embarassed to run in public, but I did it! Going to go have my protein shake now!

:
Why would you like to lose weight ?

Sooooo many reasons.
I want to KNOCK my hubby's socks off when he gets home.
I would like to be able to go outside with my son and run and play ball or jump on the trampoline without being winded after a few minutes.
I want to wear whatever I want. I don't want to be restricted to shirts that go past my butt and mu-mu's.
I want to feel better and live longer!

GREAT question Lori

 

[dreamergirl78]

So, how is everyone doing today?
I have done SO much better today. I had a protien shake for breakfast, organic carrots with a bit of Organic dressing for a snack and I am going to have a stuffed mushroom for lunch. It is HUGE so I will split it in half. For dinner, organic chicken (see a theme) with veggies and mixed berries for dessert!
I might even do Pilates later, we'll see!

Let's finish off the day with a BANG ladies!!! We can do this!

 

[Msslaydbug]

In case when Friday rolls around there are any questions about the correct way to weigh yourself .....

I thought I would offer you a demonstration on the way I will do it this coming Friday .....

 

[keliblue]

OMG ... that is to funny

 

[scrappinmom]

Now THERE'S a scale I might actually LIKE!!

 

[dreamergirl78]

Now that's the way to do it!!!!

Just got back from an afternoon walk. I decided to get Ryan and I out of the house so we took Molly for a walk. He asked if next time we can leave her home! I explained to him the only way she is going to get better is if we keep at it. Yeah by the time we were walking up our street she was tuckered out, went in the back yard got some water and crashed in the shade!

Anyway, remmeber, let's make HEALTHY choices for dinner!
Way to go ladies! We are off to a good start!

 

[DisneyAprilFool]

We're having crockpot chicken breasts with salsa on top- and rice on the side. So a good, healthy dish Worked out a second time tonight- ugh. My legs are killing me. But I've been promised that I'll see the results in inches before weight, so I've even taken tape measurements of my arms, bust, waist and hips (my hips are FRIGHTENING!). So we'll see!

This afternoon I worked on the spreadsheet I will be using to enter everyone's information into and keep track of it.

I decided it might be useful for all of us to use individually as well. You can keep your weight weekly or for those of us who weigh daily

It doesn't matter as long as we watch those numbers go down.

To be able to use this spreadsheet you will need to have Microsoft Excel or a similar program.

When you follow the link, click on Save and pick the file you want it saved to. If you aren't familiar on how to do this - it is easiest to save it to your desktop and then move it to the folder you want it in.

Hope those who want to use it will find it useful !!

I will host it on my website until everyone that needs it has downloaded it !

 

[ANTSS2001]

QOTD: I want to loose the weight so I don't have to go through any heart surgery!

 

[dreamergirl78]

Oh lord, here goes Lori with her flipping spreadsheets!
You are so funny. Thank you though for taking the time to do this!!!

OMGosh I have to say that your own personal website is so amazing. I love the baby sitting up and the newborn in the mesh. Very nice photos. Any chance on wanting to do a photo session with Kendyll in Disney???

Put me down. I've lost 18 pounds since the beginning of Feb but need to lose another 20..well maybe more but I'll settle for 20.

Amazing anyone can do 1 workout I can't even imagine 2. The only excersise I'm doing is running up 2 flights of stairs at work, once a day. I really need to start doing something.

My reason besides health..As I was walking up the stairs ahead of DH he says "honey your starting to look like your mother from the back. Let's just say mom is a pear shape.

So good luck to all of us.
