Wedding Weight Loss - Disney Style

[Goldeelox9]

YAY!!!!!!! That is wonderful! I am sooo happy for you! It is pretty easy right? Just make sure you eat all your points a day or it can backfire.

We (DF & I) on the other hand did not not do very good. I gained 1.4 pounds and DF gained 3.6 pounds!!!!!!!!

We had out of town guests for 4 days and we ate out alot and had birthday cake and other bad things. We are on hardcore lock down this week though...No cheating AT ALL!

Aw, well you two will bounce back Lisa! Think of all the weight you already lost!

It is pretty easy, I thought eating ALL that food would make me fatter, I didn't get it lol. I guess that's why I felt like I gained.

Now any idea how you can go to a fondue resturant and still stick to WW?

 

[Goldeelox9]

I know... Iam not sweating it...We cheated our tails off this week. As for the Melting Pot....I would just save up your weekly points and declare it a cheat dinner eat what you want (we do this the night we weigh in...we go out for cheat night) and just count that as all of your weekly points!

 

[disneychickforever]

Thanks for the tip Lisa I appreciate it

 

[Goldeelox9]

It is how we have been doing it with great results. You can not deprive yourself of everything or you will burn out. My thoughts are if you are eating right 95% of the time then a slurge once a week isn't going to derail the rest of your hard work.

Hey all!

Well, I'm almost a year out now, so it's nearly time to try and lose a little weight and tone up a bit over the next 12 months!

My problem is, I can be a bit of a fussy eater, and I'm not especially into fruit and vegetables, I only like a limited few...

I don't really want to join Weight Watchers or Slimming World meaning I have to fork out more money every week/month, as that would cut into the wedding savings! Perhaps I could buy / get a friend to buy any relevant recipe / points books for me?

I have a Wii Fit which is a bit redundant already, but I have been dancing 4 nights a week in a summer season show, which ends this week, so I think I'll revist the Wii Fit then. How often do you girls use it?

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be the best diet plan for me? I know that different things suit different people, but to be honest I've never really tried a proper diet before, I've always just assumed I wouldn't be able to stick to it! So, where do I start??

 

[Goldeelox9]

If I were you I would sign up for atleast a month of a program to learn all the ins and outs. I know Weight Watchers has a pay as you go program so if you only want to go once a month to weigh in or whatnot you can. I wish I would have started a year out! But I am down 36 pounds in 20 weeks so I am pretty happy!

Sparkpeople has a good site that is free..

I have been able to maintain my precruise weight..not in a big push to lose the last 6lbs..as long as I stay where I am at..I am pretty happy!

 

[Goldeelox9]

Much better weigh in last night!

I lost 2.2 pounds and DF lost 4!

he always loses more then me...although he gains more on weeks we gain so it all evens out! LOL

I have lost 37.8 pounds total!

DisneyChickForever - How did you do this week???

 

[lpizzuro123]

Good for you. Tomorrow is weigh in day for me and I am not looking forward to it. We went out to eat twice (very hard to stay on plan with NS) and I keep picking at night.

Oh well - we will see.

Linda

 

[Goldeelox9]

The going out to eat is the reason we picked WW. We are able to eat all normal food and then just work out points around it.

Let us know how you did....just think that even if you cheated two nights, that is still eating good 5 nights and that is better then what you were doing (well better then what I was doing...LOL)

 

[lpizzuro123]

I have done WW before and would really work food into the program - the problem for me was I "worked" it too much. For the last two months before the wedding I need to be more focused.

I am a firm believer in WW and hope to continue that after the wedding. I am just looking for some "faster" results for now. I know this is not the best way but so far it is working.

Linda -- Good luck with WI.

As for me -- I was down .8 this week after following core religiously, exercising 7 days, including running 3 days. That makes up for the .8 I gained last week. 2 weeks = no net loss. I have resigned myself to the prospect of my gown not fitting when it comes in ~ 5 weeks from now. There is nothing I can do about it. I am working out like crazy, staying on plan and seeing no progress. Guess I'll resign myself to being fit and not thin.

Great job, everyone!

DisneyChickForever - How did you do this week???

I did well, lost 1.6 pounds, making my total 6.4 And That was with Tuesday eating at Rainforest and Melting Pot!

Congrats on the weight loss!

Cam--At least you loss! Every week is different. Some are slower than others.

hi hi, i am an avid disney freak, regretably not getting married in the world. we are disneymooning. My wedding is May 16th!!! I have the dress which is motivating.

i start WW tomorrow. FH is out of town for the long weekend and I work, so I figure I will be able to watch calories and spare an hour for working out each day.

Good luck to all and thank you so much for encouraging me to post here, Goldeelox9

I come to join my Newsie sista and my DIS friends in preparing for a wedding. It's not my wedding, but my best friend's, however that doesn't stop me from not wanting to look like a frumpy cow in all the photos.

I'm just waiting on my fat camp, er 'weight management program', directives from the doctor. (Oh, and finishing a Master's thesis and trying to find a job and somewhere to live.)

Well that is smart....I like that idea. Like boot camp! Good luck. What day is your wedding? I will be there on my honeymoon, maybe I will lurk! LOL

Fit is just as good a thin! You have done an amazing job! You were my inspiration to start this!

Thanks, Lisa & DisneyChickForever!
Lisa -- you are a sweetie!

just plugging along, doing what I know is healthy. I have to admit my shoulders are thinner. It's nice to see some newbies here. The more the merrier!

I hope everyone has a really good, on-plan (whatever it might be) weekend!

I had been a lifetime Ww member but that last time I weighed in was last November, my goal weight was 155 and I maintained it for like 3 months... I weighed in yesterday and I weighed 170 here's to losing it, again.

but a side note, my start wt was 206 so at least I have less to go this time
