My name is Nicki and I am from Pennsylvania. I am a 32 year old mother of 3 (4 if you count my hubby). I am excited to start this challenge with fellow DAs! I have started MyFitnessPal before when it was recommended by my doctor that uses it daily. I really did enjoy using it but I really need the motivation to stick with it. Hoping for a Great start to the New Year 2014!0

Greetings fellow Disnerds
Happy to receive any and all FRs.
My wife and I have been to WDW 8 times in 12 years and Paris once, it's not the same.
We will be back in WDW on May 6th with our 2yr old daughter for her first visit0 -
I am looking forward to going through this journey with all of you. The accountability to each other will be wonderful and a great motivator to keep us on track. I am looking forward to being thinner in 2014!0

Hello all! I am excited to join you all. I am a Disney lover and we have gone three times in the past 3 years. I am heading down to the world next week for marathon weekend. It's my first solo trip as we felt that taking the kids out of school right when it started back wasn't a good idea. And since I am heading down for multiple races, my park time is quite limited. But I would love to hear any tips about traveling solo!0

I need some suggestions. I am looking for some high protein low calorie ideas for breakfast. I am diabetic so protein would be best for me. My only problem is I am not crazy about plain eggs. I also cannot do a cheese egg combo. Just the thought of that gives me the willies. I like cheese but just not with eggs. Anyone have any low calorie ideas how I can dress the eggs up so that they aren't just plain eggs with that eggie taste?0

Is anyone on Tumblr?
I have a Disney blog and would love more followers0 -
I like Egg whites and turkey sausage for breakfast
Chicken Salad for lunch and I might be a little weird I love cereal for dinner. (frosted mini wheats)0 -
You are not weird. We eat breakfast for dinner on occasion here also. It breaks up the rut of eating the same things all the time. :happy:0

I was diagnosed with diabetes type II , a1c of 7.00, this summer. Recently had a1c checked again and it was 5.62, so not taking meds yet. Stopped drinking soda and started exercising. Sometimes for breakfast, I eat two rice cakes with 28 almonds or two slices of Sara Lee 45 calorie bread with 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. Not an egg lover either.0

I have decided to do the Tower of Terror 10-mile run in October. Not only will I be working to drop some pound, and by some I mean a lot, but I have to get my heart and lungs ready for a 10 mile run! I'm hoping to do my first 5k run in April or May. Should be "fun".0

I stick with the egg whites. I add salsa (homemade is best) and turkey sausage. Very low cal. and high in protein.0 -
You will love it. I did several Disney races and did the marathon there last year and it was amazing because they do such a good job. I have a half marathon there in feb and then the 10 miler TOT as well before the Dopey next year0

Hi Everyone! I just wanted to jump in and introduce myself!
My name is Shannon, I am 29, and live near Buffalo, NY. I have two children, a son who is 3 and a daughter who just turned 5 at WDW! They have both been to Disney World 4 times. My husband and I have been married since October 11, 2012, but we have been together since August 2003! I was able to lose 30 pounds for our wedding and then gained about 45 pounds after our wedding. :mad:
My weight issue started AFTER I had our daughter and became a stay at home mom. I am not nearly as active as I used to be. So one of the biggest things that I need to change is my activity level. Also, I need to cut out soda and start drinking more water.
Some things that are motivating me to change:
My kids! I need to be healthy for them! I need to be here to watch them grow up and have children of their own! I need to be a good example for them!
My Father In Law. He recently passed away due to a major heart attack at the age of 58. It was shocking and terrifying because I know if I don't change my ways, I will be headed down that same path.
DISNEY! We are planning another Disney cruise in October and I don't want to be fat and uncomfortable. We went on the Dream in May and I just knew I would have enjoyed it so much more if I was comfortable in my own body. So next cruise IS going to be different!!
Some of my goals:
To improve my overall health
Stop hiding from the camera and actually be in some of our vacation photos
To participate in a RunDisney event. (Hopefully starting with a Castaway 5k in October!)
As far as a number on the scale, I think losing 80 pounds would put me back in my comfort zone. Yikes! That's a lot! :noway:
I am looking forward to joining you all on this journey! Maybe we could all do a RunDisney event together someday!! I wish you all the best of luck!!!0 -
Hi! My name is Vicki. I live in North Carolina. I am 55 yrs old. I have 1 son and 2 grandchildren.
I started walking in May of 2013. I had gotten up to 8 miles a day and was beginning to use the "Couch to 5k" app to train to run a 5k. On July 7th, while out doing my daily walked, I was attacked by 2 bulldogs. I spent 3.5 hrs in surgery. 5 days in the hospital & missed 7 weeks of work. I have 80 staples in my legs, arms and head and 75 stitches in my face. 3 months after the attack, I got infection in one of the wounds and had to have the area lanced 5 times.
Please, please, please be careful if you walk or run. If you can, get a partner. Be aware of the area where you are walking/running. I had walked past these dogs for 3 months. I have no idea why they attacked me. I was ignorant to what a dog could do to a adult. A few minutes more and I would have been dead. Thanks be to God, someone came by and saved me. I have not been able to walk outside yet, ( More dogs in my neighborhood) but I have started walking in the warehouse where I work and have joined a gym. I refuse to let this stop me. I will run a 5k!!!0
