Wedding Weight Loss - Disney Style

[Tink_Kel]

Tink Kel -- I was just in Lane Bryant the other day (returning some items that I ordered on line that were too big!! ) and I saw some gorgeous, gorgeous bras there. I think the brand is Cacique and they are so feminine and pretty. You might want to look there.

As for me, I had my biggest loss at my WW weigh in yesterday since the 2nd week of December 2006. 2.8 pounds down. I was so excited until I realized that my net loss since July 31 was some negligible amount. UGH! I think down 1.8 since that date, but I guess down is better than up.

Thanks Keenercam! I'll definitely check them out. I can fit into some VS, but they have humongeous straps on them!

CONGRATULATIONS on the weight loss...you deserve a dancing banana! Anytime that needle is down instead of up is a reason to celebrate!!

gained .6 pounds this week! Boo Hiss! DF lost 1.6 so I am cheering for him!

Hang in there Goldeelox9, there's always time when no matter how good we are, something creeps up on us! You'll probably lose that plus some next week!!

I lost 3.2 pounds this week! Making me at 9.4 total.

My biggest issue is eating all my points though. Lately it'd be 8pm and I'd still have 13-20 points to eat...

CONGRATULATIONS!! I can't imagine having all those points left at the end of the day! I do some creative math as it is to stretch my points out as far as I can as I do! Not cheating though!

ETA - For the newbies..I am Betsy 5'7" and in April 2007 I was 226 and a size 22W. I have had a lot of abdominal surgery (5 in 7 years) and gained due to lack of exercise and love of cooking. I joined WW first to lose weight for a Disney trip in June 2007 and continued it to lose for our DCL VR that was on July 25, 2008. I managed to buy the size 16 dress and then had to have it taken in 2" on each side..
Today I am 156 and a size 12! People who haven't seen me in months tell me it has taken years off my face too. That is my biggest motivation..more than all the clothes I get to buy in the regular section now..that my face looks thinner!
I don't log into WW everyday and maybe I should drop my membership because it HAS taught me how to cut my portions and eat better.
I have 6lbs to my goal if 150 (which is my pre pregnancy weight from 1998) but I have managed to remain the same since we got back from the cruise, so I am very happy!

Thanks for the intro Disneydmbnut! It's nice hearing your history, you are truely an inspiration!

I lost 4.2 pounds this week. I learned that the more what I drink the more I lose

Wow, we are a bunch of losers! Congratulations!!

Do y'all mind if a man joins in on your weight loss thread.

Welcome KingLouie! I'm sure with your motivation, you'll make your goal!



As for me...I lost 5 Pounds this week!! I know it will go a lot slower, I always lose quickly at the beginning of a weight loss regiment, and then as the pounds get harder to get off, I start slipping I need to keep focused this time. I really want to be a beautiful bride, and have a fun honeymoon, not trying to dodge having my pic taken. I HATE PICTURES!! I think I have the opposite of anorexia, I see a thin person in the mirror, but when I see pictures of myself, I'm in denial...THAT. IS. NOT. ME.

Here's to us, keeping strength this week, and reaching our goals...and to looking fabulous on our wedding day!!

Good luck girls (and guy!)

LOL! That was me..when i saw pictures of myself I was all "who is THAT!"

My VR was actually the first time in years I have enjoyed having my picture taken!

Glad to hear feedback from everyone. I am still plugging away with NutriSystems. My first 4 weeks were great and then it slowed down a bit after that. I also started running out of the food I really like and it was a struggle not to eat other things (along with the fact that there were just too many end of summer parties).

I just got a new shipment of NS food that I love (well at least like) so I am back on track. Only 4 more weeks to my first fitting. Hopefully I will lose a few more between now and then. I am not looking for miracles in 4 week just alittle less water weight so my face loses that bloated look.

Congrats to everyone. DisneyDmbNut - I saw some of your before and after photos and I will say you look amazing.

Linda, I hate the bloated face look. I would rather lose the weight in my face then my behind....LOL

You are doing good and I can't wait to see the pictures from your fitting!

I weigh in tonight. I have been really good this week minus Sunday...LOL So hopefully I have lost that pesky weight from last week and then a few more pounds!

I just wanted to let you know that I am very sore from two days of weights and on day of spin. Why does beauty have to be so painful

On the bright side tomorrow I get a break from the gym.

Linda, have you thought of seeing if your doctor will perscribe you some water pills? I have them, and boy do I notice a difference in my face if I don't take them religiously! Water retention in a B**ch!!

Way to go! What is that saying? No pain, no gain? Don't you feel like causing pain to the people that say that?

Keep up the great work, you'll see results before you know it!

no..no breaks!!
you told us to make sure you went!

 

[kingLouiethe1]

no..no breaks!!

Yes yes I know, but tomorrow is not a prescribed gym day. All I have to do tomorrow is go on a walk.

 

[Goldeelox9]

Weigh in went well.....I lost 1.8 pounds and DF lost .8 Which is great cause he ate his tail of this past weekend!

I have lost 39 pounds even and DF is down 49.8 pounds!!!!!

 

[lpizzuro123]

I'm back again - it was a tuff week and a half but I am actually down .4 - I didn't weigh in last Friday so I am not sure what happened in between but there you have it. Only 3 more weeks to my first fitting and then 2 more after that till I am supposed to pick up the dress. Not sure how much I can accomplish in the amount of time but would love another 5 pounds.

Thanks for all the support.

Linda

Well, it's my first weigh-in today and I lost 1 lb, only 22 to go

 

[disneychickforever]

So I weighed in yesterday (yes I know it's suppose to be Wednesday, but I didn't get there that day..) and I gained .4 pounds. I felt so gross lol. I know it's not a big deal, but it took a lot of willpower not to slip into my old ways.

So now I'm working on getting that off, plus more! That plus school is going to kill me! (How I LOATHE Macroeconomics! Lol)

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

bump!

Still hovering around 155..it isn't going anywhere but it isn't going up so I should be happy..it would just be nice to get the 5lbs off and make my goal!

 

[PrincessNewsie]

I'm hovering at 166 and i don't know why... i need to commit better to working out, i think i have to join a gym other than my one at work. it's 30 miles away so it only works when i work a 12.5 hour shift and it's SO hard to have a quality exercise after working allllll night and being pooped and just wanting to go home.

i was thinking of switching to nutrisystems in march for two months to lose the last few pounds. any opinions?

 

[Goldeelox9]

DF and I BOTH gained this week. I gained 3 pounds. It is my pMS week but 3 pounds! OMG We did cheat and have lots of shower cake. We were expecting some gain. Next week we hope for better! Hey you only have ashower once in a lifetime!
