Hello!

I am starting a weight loss plan with some pretty lofty goals tomorrow!!! I am very excited and I am just hoping this works. We are going to Disney World in May and I do not want to be a fatty mcfatty when we go. I figure if I write on here every day then I will stick to this!! Wish me luck!!

May is only 2 1/2 months away. Time enough for you to lose some weight. How much are you planning to lose?

Be sure pick a realistic goal. Or even break your goal up into smaller goals of 1 or 2 weeks at a time.

10 weeks away so say if you lost the recommended weight loss of 2 pounds a week that would be 20lbs.

good luck! And Disney is FUN! FUN! FUN! LOL!

What a fun thing to look forward to--I've been to Disney World and you will definitely enjoy it more if you are in shape---so be sure to get some exercise too, as you'll be doing a LOT of walking--good luck!

Good luck....it always helps to have something to look forward to. Coming here everyday will keep you motivated and inspired.

Congrats on taking the first step. Coming here has given me motivation and I'm sure most others here too. You can do this!! Good luck!!

Wow, congratulations need2bme! It's great to start with strong goals!!

Why are you waiting until tomorrow?

Do something good for yourself today!

4m4mygirls---I really like what you posted here!!

I'm glad that you are taking that first step and I look forward to getting to know more about you

need2bme- What is your plan? I've found that planning my meals with the flexibility of changing as long as I stay within my calorie range works best for me.

Scarlet- Thanks! I'm recovering from starting over on Mondays!

Hello All!

Thanks for all the encouragement! This message board is a blessing!

A little about me.... I am 29 and a mother of 2. I used to be a collegiate runner and then I got pregnant!!! I was unable to run but I still ate like I ran 60 miles a week. I have never been able to loose all the weight. My little one has also been sick off and on and it is hard to stick to anything. As soon as I get my bearings back after one of her diagnoses something else happens to her. Bless her heart.

So, here I am. We leave on my daughter's make a wish to Disney World in May and I want to be able to enjoy myself, and just run around with her and do what ever she wants!!!!

My goal is to loose about 25 pounds by then. I will still be heavier then I was in school but I will be alot closer.

Today was a good day. I did the elliptical trainer for an hour total and then did Barry's Bootcamp. I ate really well, about 1200 calories, and I feel hungry but good. I will probably have some tea and then go to bed!!!

Thanks for all the support!! I hope I can keep this up for as long as I am going to need to!!

Great job! What a wonderful start!

Day #2 has come and gone!!! I did really well today. Still starving!!! I did the elliptical for 35 min in the morning and then another 25 min before I did Barry's Boot Camp in the afternoon. I ate salad and soy protien..... all healthy stuff. I am really missing my chocolate!! I think this weekend I might have to have a little bit.

I just need to stay motivated and stick to this. During the day I need to remember why I am trying to loose weight. For myself and my family. So I can look like the person I think I am!!! Boy, sometimes it is scary to look in the mirror and see someone else looking back at you!

Thanks for the support!
Bye!
