If it wasn't great enough that I can find like minded people who Love Disney and don't roll their eyes when I get a 'glow on' talking about an upcoming trip........I was finding some solice in the dis after the kids left for school. I have weight watchers tonight and I've gained. I'm a lifer who has lost her way and gained 10lb. over goal and now I'm trying to lose. I admit I haven't been very motivated. I like 'living', a glass of beer on the porch with dh, sharing fries with dd. I've tried to re-incorporate exercise, I walk to and from work and take a nightly walk with my neighbour. It's not working though. My first success with weight watchers I lost almost 50lb., but I was VERY strict, fries would never have passed these lips.
I would LOVE to run the 1/2 marathon in 2005. When we were at WDW this past Jan. the runners were coming back from the marathon looking exhausted, wrapped in their silver blankets and I said to dh, I would love to run in the marathon some day. His response? "Well, why don't you?" I just rolled my eyes.

I AM GOING TO DO IT!!!!!!

Yay, Melinda!!

Yes, please join us. Go to this thread to sign up as an official WISHer, and get clipart instructions.

I'm also a WW lifer who got lost, but I got a lot more lost than you did (55 lbs over WW goal, 70 lbs over my personal goal!) I think it's great that you've caught yourself before you strayed so far.

I haven't committed to actually participating in the 1/2 marathon, but I do plan to be there. I'll be a cheerleader for the athletes. But a thinner and fitter cheerleader! It's gonna be one great big, happy party!

MelindaandRob, could we be long lost sisters?!?! I, too, love a beer with DH (although on the back patio). I, too, love to steal fries. I, too, did Weight Watchers last year and gained 9 lbs. back (although I hadn't made it to goal before I quit). And, of course, I LOVE planning WDW vacations almost as much as I like taking them.

I'm following the WW plan on my own. I've lost 5 lbs. in 4 weeks. Slow and steady wins the race is my motto (okay, it would be much nicer if I regularly lost 2 lbs. a week).

Welcome to WISH. There are a great group of people here.

You are going to love WISH, it's inspirational and motivational but most of all it's <i>fun</i>. I have made so many caring and thoughtful friends, here on WISH and now I've a new friend, <i> you</i>.
