in Introduce Yourself
Heading for my third trip to Disney next year. Although Disney is very "fat friendly" - I would like to have lost some more weight before my third trip. My first trip I weighed around 330 pounds. My second trip was only 7 months later, and I was down to 315 pounds. I am now under 300 pounds for the first time in over a decade - and I would like to be around 250 before my next trip (approximately 1 year from now). This is totally attainable IF I hold myself accountable. Looking for friends to help keep me motivated. I CAN DO THIS!!

    Hi Kewpie!

    I am also going to Disney! Our trip is in February and I signed up for the disney princess half marathon (oh, dear!).

    We should motivate each other for our trips!!!

    I'm planning on going next year as well, and want to be 50 pounds lighter than I was when I went in June.

    You CAN do this!

    I just came back from Disney World Last month. Great Time. While i was there I did workouts in the morning. They do offer good food to eat while there. Intense cardio and lift! WATER WATER WATER

    My daughters run the Disney Princess marathon each year. They sign up for as many marathons as they can but they are getting so expensive! Good luck on your goal. I am content to watch from the side lines and cheer everyone on. I've had both my knees replaced so running is out for me but I love walking!!

    My Disney pass blackout dates end at the end of this month (cheap pass, most of the summer is off limits) and I'm looking forward to going back almost 20 lbs lighter than last time I went (which was the day I got married, lol.)

    Looks like there are few other Disney runners/walkers here. I'm signed up for the Tower of Terror 10 miler in eight weeks (eight weeks!) and I am completely terrified of getting swept. Oh well, I'm trying, which most people aren't, and even if I get swept, I am still at Disney World.

    Yet another Disney freak. Would love to do the half marathon next year. This seems like a good place to start.
