What is W.I.S.H. ?

[travel with kids]

What is W.I.S.H. and how do I climb on board?

I love this web-site. I started off on the DCL board, then the scrapbooking page, now I found you!! I understand that this is a supportive board for weightloss. This is perfect!! I am going on a cruise (Disney, of course!), I scrapbook everything!! And I am doing Atkins. If there was a 'help my mother-in-law is coming' board I'd be in heaven!! --I'll keep looking for that one!

Any ways, back to the weight loss. What does w.i.s.h stand for? How do I climb on board? And what is the w.i.s.h. journal?

Thanks....

Welcome to the board! WISH means We're Inspired to Stay Healthy.

Hi Travel with Kids....I am gonna call you TWK for short...lol.

Nancy told you what we stand for. We are a ever growing group who are on a bunch of different weight loss and healthy lifestyle plans. We are Positive and Supportive of each other...and the only way this works...is to keep posting and answering posts.

I am sooo excited that you want to join us!!!! We really need support around here. You will find that tons of us are on Atkins...some are really BIG losers!!! and some of us are slow but determined losers!! The main thing is....we are all losers!!

Now...what you need to do to become "official" is go to the top of the boards and POST to the "wish challenge" thread. It will tell you how to get your WISH Clippie (the little banner).

We all start wish at a zero loss, no matter how much you have already lost. Once you post...you can count all of the weight you lost from that day forward...SO HURRY!!! LOL. If you have lost weight before....you can just add it underneath the banner.

I cant think of anything else at the moment...but I am sure that others will post and welcome you..and let you know if there was anything I missed.

Tracy!!

Hello and welcome! Oooh, hope you don't mind, but I like the TWK nickname too!

WISH is more than just "We're Inspired to Stay Healthy". It is a place for the most amazing people I have NEVER met to gather and support each other though some major lifestyle changes to find their own unique path towards health.

Hope to see you posting often!!! I had to laugh at your MIL comment, too cute! Mine isn't quite in that category although I can't say I'm rolling the red carpet out for her either! ha ha!

TWK, welcome to the WISH family of losers! I'm so glad you decided to join us. I am totally honest in saying I would have never be as successful with my healthy lifestyle if not for this board!

There are a few other scrappers around here, me included. And a few counting down for their first DCL as well! See, you already fit right in!! welcome welcome welcome

Hi TWK,

I just found this board as well! I signed up on the WISH challenge thread yesterday - so glad you're starting, too!

Where are you in Maine? I'm in Brownfield, which is right next to Conway, NH, if you're not familiar. It's a big state - and we're such a little town!

Anyway, welcome and hello! If you like to exercise (or even if you're like me and you don't, but you do it anyway), I'm going to try to post my exercise each day. I'd love it if you'd join in - I think seeing what everyone else is doing will keep me motivated!

Have a super day,

Daisy

Bliss4us--no way! I live in Fryeburg!! And yes, I hate to exercise! I'll check our your thread.

Enjoy the 4th -- it is hopefully going to cool off tomorrow!

<b>TWK</b> I have been away in Texas for a while. I missed your very first WISH post :-(

I'm glad you decided to take the challenge and I'm really extra glad that you are going to be part of my support group, now.

Welcome!

Thanks again for the welcome--

Funny story I'll share with you all here-- I was so excited to get a nickname!! (twk) I pulled my husband over to the computer so he could read the responses from this thread and see my new nickname. (please understand that he is normally a very smart man and he was the one who picked 'travel with kids'!!) He said "what does 'twk' stand for --twinkie" ??! please!
