Wedding Weight Loss - Disney Style

[Goldeelox9]

Hi! Most of you will most likely be coming over from our other weight loss thread! This thread is to talk about losing weight before our Disney Weddings (or after them). Since we have been kicked off the Wedding Boards....

Lets each post how much we have lost, what method we are using & when our big day is.

Hi! I am Lisa and so far I have lost 24.4 pounds doing Weight Watchers & My DF has lost 32 pounds. We are on Week 10 and our weigh-ins are on Wednesdays. My Wedding is November 4, 2008 (ELection Day) on Castaway Cay while cruising on the Disney Wonder!

Yay! I was just about to post on the wedding thread and saw it was closed!

How is losing weight for your wedding not wedding related?

Anyway, here we are!

I've been doing Weight Watchers since February. Slow and steady...

I'm down 23 pounds--just about half way to goal!

Wedding Date ~ 01/15/09

Hi,

I brought my dress a while ago and was worried when a few months ago it wouldn't fit how i wanted it too. I cut out all crisps (chips for Americans), fatty foods and pop. I was using a lateral thigh trainer twice a week and the beginning and doing yoga as well as 20 sit ups a day.

About 6 weeks in i'd lost 12lb but that also made me feel like i could relax. When my weight stayed the same for a few weeks i kick started it again and now i do a trim and tone class once a week (thinking about doing it twice a week), yoga once a week, 25 sit ups a day and i walk two miles a day at lunch time at work.

After week 6 i could fit nicely in my dress again, but i still could do with losing another 12lb in just over 4 months. As this is what i weighed two years ago. I still allow myself treats-i'm a chocoholic.

I tell myself it will all be worth it, its going to be difficlt to keep my weigh the same inFlorida with all the all you can eat buffets . Lol

Do you like i can do 12lb in 4 months? I seems hard to keep losing weight after the first 6 weeks. What exercise is everyone else doing?

You can do it. That is less then one pound a week. Just cut out carbs, increase your water. It will be okay.

I HAVE to start exercising...I've only done diet mod, but I've still lost 15 lbs... I can only imagine if I was actually working out!! I really want to get Wii Fit... But we can't seem to find it anywhere!!

 

[Goldeelox9]

We want Wii Fit too....It is NO WHERE to be found!

My WI day is Wednesday. I definitely need to start exercising too! And yes, I said START exercising. I figure it's pretty good I've lost all my weight with just the "diet" portion of it...but I'm definitely slowing down. I know I'll need to start working out regularly to keep losing..and especially to maintain.

Any suggestions for a girl that hates to exercise??

When I lived at home right after college, I'd use my parents' treadmill. To get myself to actually USE it, I bought a DVD set of an addictive TV show (Nip/Tuck...ironic, no?). I'd only let myself watch it if I was on the treadmill. That worked GREAT...until I moved away from the treadmill.

That is a good Idea about the threadmill. My sister has one. I hate walking...Yet love WDW. Water Arobics has been great because you don't feel like you are working hard. LOL

When did you start? I think I saw in the previous thread you're doing WW??

What plan? Core or Flex?

Great idea about the treadmill!! We even HAVE one, and I'm THAT lazy!! I dunno what my deal is, but after a long day at work the last thing I want to do is work up a sweat...

I've heard water exercises are great too!! Too bad I don't belong to a pool...

Yeah - you'll get there...I was slow to start, and it seems like every other week I gain, but it's been a general downward trend so I try not to think about it... it's always -5, +3, -4, +2...it's really annoying, but I just try to think, oK, next week I'll lose!!

Hey ladies... woo hoo! We have a new home! All right, I lost 21 pounds on jenny Craig... Love it! I have 29 more pounds to lose before the wedding and then more after the wedding! I love Jenny and I have three little ones to chase after on a daily basis, so my only "excercise" is my Wii Fit! I've only tried Yoga, but looking to branch out...

This is going to be great ladies! You guys are all awesome for the weight loss, so proud!

Oh I totally understand! My apartment building has a sweet workout facility...totally free. We've lived there 9 months...I don't even have a key to get into the room!! At this point I'd be totally embarrassed to ask for an access key.
