  • Going in October. :)
    I'm going to celebrate a birthday and my weight loss. (only 15 pounds so far, but hey!)
    I'm so excited to be back in the magic! Also, I plan on walking/running my butt off so I can enjoy my favorite restaurants.

    Hi all,
    Leaving in five days for Disney and Universal (have two Harry Potter fanatics in the house). Will be our third trip and we are really looking forward to it. I had posted an original goal of 34 pounds of weight loss but that has not happened. I have been yoyoing up and down for the past three months - am down net 2 pounds but its not enough to post. Going to try to do a lot of walking and water drinking but will have to stay away as much as possible from some of the treats.

    What I'm finding most amazing is all of the other people who like my family and I, are crazy for Disney! Good luck to you all on your weight loss journey and have a great time on your trips!:happy:

    We are going at the same exact time as you Andrea!!! I have started my second 5k No Boundaries training and Atkins at the same time. I think I need to go back to low fat for a bit because I am missing a lot of the things I need to keep my run intervals (like potatssium for leg cramps). Would like to be down another 15 lbs or so before we leave in 80 days!!!

    Is that it, 80 days? EEK!

    Have a blast! I can't wait to do Universal, but I know I need to get some weight off before I do that. I love rides (DH doesn't), so I want to be able to fit into the snug ride seats!

    I'm cleaning up the groups I belong to since no one else has posted here in months...I'm signing out from this group.
    I do wish you all wonderful and memorable Disney vacations as well as a life of health and fitness! Take care! :flowerforyou:
  • Hi I'm new here - anyone still around??
    I got a trip planned for June - can't wait
    but like others have said - pictures, pictures & more pics
    I'm scrapbooker so I take lots (last trip for 8 days - over 5,000)
  • Hi -- I'm new, too. Seems like this group isn't the most active, in terms of posts. I'll probably stay for a while, anyway, just in case. How great that you're planning ahead to get a bit healthier before you go. I'm not going until later in the year, but have a lot of work to do (it's an ongoing process. I've lost 100 pounds and kept it off, now trying to lose another 20). Taking care of yourself, eating right, sleeping and exercising made such a big difference to my last trip that I'm committed to preparing ahead for the next! What are you most looking forward to doing? I find that motivating, reminding myself of what I'm looking forward to doing, picturing myself doing it and enjoying it.

    We are going to Disney World in May - it will be my husband and my 5 year old's first time - I want to look good in pictures and to be able to walk all day without getting winded or feeling like I am the one "holding everyone up" - also to be able to slip into any ride I want and not worry about fitting!
  • Hi everyone! We are going to Disney in September 2013 staying at WL. We are very excited! My goal is to lose enough weight to wear shorts and tank tops and possibly a few sundresses! I am so tired of looking frumpy in all my Disney pics! This will be our 6th trip and each time I hate my pictures to the point that I started to not take as many because I didn't want to "ruin" the ones my kids were in.

    I am headed back to California to visit family and friends at the beginning of September of this year. I used to live there so I have been to Disneyland many times. But this time I want to healthier so I can enjoy the day more; I don't want to get winded having to walk around all day. And I plan on taking tons of pictures, with my skinny self, with as many characters as I can. This time it will be different and I am taking control of my health and my life.

    Welcome! I'd love to hear more about DisneyLand- we're going in June!

    Disneyland is exactly like Magic Kingdom in Orlando. It has just about the same rides and it's just about the same size. The only difference now is that Magic Kingdom now has the new Fantasyland and Disneyland does not. The other park is California Adventure, and that is awesome. They just finished Cars Land so there are a lot more rides as well as fun to be had. At night they have the Colors show which I hear is awesome (I have never actually seen it). I hope you have an awesome time.
