So Looking forward to 2014. My friend and I are starting Ferrells body shaping Jan 11. 1st Challenge - committing to 10 weeks of getting up at 5:30 am.

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!

HI all. I appreciate all the support that can be gain from fellow DAs. I've tried before,but I really want it this time and with your support I KNOW I can accomplish anything.

I am trying to add everyone but I am now getting confused because I am going from two lists. I am unsure who I have messaged and who I have not. If I have not messaged you please message me. My username is karriealex. Thanks!

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?

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.

I stick with the egg whites. I add salsa (homemade is best) and turkey sausage. Very low cal. and high in protein.

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!!!

Hi! My name is Tracy and I am so looking forward to this. We all need just a tad of motivation and I think this will help us in our accountability. I love all things Disney - try to go at least twice a year. Maybe if we all can post recipes/foods that are working for us, we won't get bored eating the same things. Here's to losing in 2014!!

Hi, I am Cindy (username auntiecr63...please add me to your friend list), and am looking forward to getting support for losing weight. I want to be 50-fit-fabulous, instead of 50-fat-fatigued, which is my present state of being!! I make terrible food choices and now my cholesterol is high and I've put on too much weight over the past years. The doctor told me today that he wants me to lose 10lbs by next month's visit, so I am giving it my best shot. My big goals are to change my eating habits and lose 50lbs.

My sister and I walked this past summer and I dropped 20lbs. As soon as school started (I am a teacher) I gained 19 of it back in 3 months. Very unhealthy! Of course I am a Disney addict. I have lost count of how many times I've been to WDW, but have only been to DL 2 times. In 1 1/2 years, my husband and I are celebrating our 30th anniversary by spending two weeks traveling. One stop is Disneyland so I want to be fit in order to endure the walking. In the past 3 years we have visited WDW 2 times and we had to go back to the resort to rest and return later.

Please add me as your friend.

Thanks!

My name is Melissa and I'm a Disney Addict! I live in the Jacksonville, Florida area and go to Disney 1-2 times a month. I started my MFP in August. In November I had lost 9 pounds, but during the holidays I stopped logging and stopped exercising and gained another 5 back I do like MFP because I've realized it's about making healthy lifestyle choices and not dieting.

Hey all! This is Rebekah Guzzi from the DA facebook group! I'm excited to join you all. I've done Weight Watchers for years but haven't used MyFitnessPal in a while. But, now that we have a group, I'm happy to get back into this! Can't think of a better group of people to join on the journey to better health!

My id is "rguzzi" - please feel free to add me to your list!

Hi! I am Sandi (thinktink272). I live in Newport News, Va and joined this to have some support other than family. I love Disney, especially Tinker Bell. I am 45 and am starting the journey to lose about 25 lbs. My first goal is to go from an obese BMI to overweight.
