100 pounds for Disney!

[MinaFemme]

So, we booked out trip to WDW for the week of Halloween, and my goal is to lose 100 pounds for Disney World!

I am not going to try any crazy diets or fads, just plan on eating healthier, exercise more often and keep my motivation up through this long winter.

Here's my blog about my journey,

Anyone else trying to lose 100 for Disney?

Good luck! Reading your blog and adding it to my favorites! I like that you are not going to be obsessing or stressing over this, you can do it!

Not losing 100, but I'd like to lose 15-20 before our trip in May.

Thank you so much for the support, Snow White!! I really appreciate it, and I know you can get to your goal as well!

I'm actually excited for this new start.

 

[suzysharp]

Thats a wonderful goal! Just be smart about it and I'm sure you'll be able to do it!!

We are going in November and I would like to lose 50-60 lbs by then. It seems so daunting. Good luck.

 

[MinaFemme]

Thank you for the encouragement! I know I will need it to make it to my goal, but I will have you all to thank once I do!

 

[MinaFemme]

Just curious, do any of you have a weight loss blog? I would love to read it!

 

[::Snow_White::]

I don't have a weight loss blog, but if you ever want to discuss anything (or just have a motivational friend!), feel free to PM me! I'm pretty passionate about fitness and health in general, even though I'm still learning a lot.

Also, my name is Kayla. I just commented on the recent post on your blog. So, that is me!

I just want to wish you good luck and all the best. I am also trying to lose some weight, just take it day by day. I will keep you in my thoughts.

 

[MinaFemme]

Thank you both so much for cheering me on! And thanks for your comment Kayla, you are very sweet!

Just wandered onto this board and saw your post! I would definitely love to lose 100 before our trip in July, but I am working on losing 60 (a more realistic goal for me given my time frame). I lost a total of 100 over the course of 14 months, meeting that goal in July 2009. Have since gained back A LOT of that weight But I am super motivated! Good luck to us both

Tuesday will make three weeks since I started this thread and my blog, and I feel awesome. I've lost 8.5 pounds so far, and I've been exercising every day! I've actually decided not to weigh myself again until March 1st, because I've decided to put my all into focusing on my fitness level and the size of my clothes rather than the number the scale is giving me each day. It is a huge challenge not to weigh myself each day like I have been, but I have a feeling it will be a big motivator to me.

I love all of the changes I have been making, and I want to incorporate all of them into my life for the rest of my life!

Good Luck, you can do it!

 

[Nyrina4life]

Good luck on your journey! Just read some of your entries on your battle and I have to say the scale is the hardest thing to deny. It's our biggest enemy at times because I can honestly tell you there's been days I'd weigh myself and feel utterly defeated because the number was going up. I knew inside it was probably due to muscle growth because my clothing fit looser. But still, it would totally kill my mood.

Good luck again.

 

[MinaFemme]

Ladies, thank you for the encouragement!! It's very much appreciated!

It HAS been hard to stay away from the scale. Sometimes it takes everything in me to not step on it. That is all the more reason why I need to challenge myself, because I don't want the numbers to define everything I am doing. Of course, losing this weight is one of the most important parts of this journey, but I want to focus more on how my clothes feel because that is a major indicator of my progress!

Yesterday I put on a pair of jeans what have always been snug on me. They were so much bigger on me! Woot-woot!

Great goal! I read some of your blog and I enjoyed reading what I did.

I also have a blog that I have been keeping up with since the beginning of January. www.fromcouchtofinishline.blogspot.com

Good luck in your journey, you can do it
