You're not going to do an extreme diet and lose a shitload of weight and have it be healthy. Eat properly and have good nutrition. And visualize your Disney trip every day and what the ideal you would look like. That vision must be the reason you keep going.1

Eat in a deficit to lose weight.
Be active to improve health /fitness and enjoy yourself.
When is your vacation?0 -
what are you going to do at Disney that you need to be thin for? there are a ton of fat people there.

Workout in the evening. Body deposits any blood fat to recover muscles rather than around your body!
Read a science paper and put this into action. Results were unbelievably better than me working out in the day!0 -
Try to imagine walking around DW.
While you count your steps.
Here is a link to others who tracked their steps and path.

I've Desperately travelled the internet for it and I can't find the darn thing! They showed it in a documentary aswel. It was used as means to turn people away from "fad dieting" because it showed if you correctly excersied and focused on the right nutrition you could loose more weight than you ever hoped to and be healthy with it. It was fascinating. They span his blood every morning after his breakfast for a month after he exercised the evening before. Then switched it to him exercising in the day and spinning his blood the same time the following day. THe only diet they said that he linked to promoting benefits for people with things such as type 2 diebeties, was the 5:2 diet. Which he voluntary chose to put himself through a following month.
In the end the result wasn't about weight loss, but more about being healthy and understanding about muscle mass weighing more than the fat we loose. Hence why people turn to fad diet in an effort to ditch weight quickly without doing the excersise.
Just wish I could find that link for you0 -

LOL, no. never heard of such a thing and a study involving one person (that you cannot find the source for) does not count as evidence.1 -
Why is your Disney trip a reason to lose weight?
why don't you lose weight because you want to get in better shape and take care of your body. Quiet frankly no one at Disney gives a rats patooey about what you look like.3 -

When walking around Disney World, it is hot and I do not want to be overweight and out of breath from walking all day. You walk over 10 miles a day at Disney World so it is like a goal to be fit before then so I am not miserable and I won't have to worry about what I am eating.0

I'd recommend prioritizing the walking. Start a walking program and get used to being on your feet. Even thin people who aren't used to all that walking can suffer a little.
Then work on losing weight as a permanent change. Set up MFP for weight loss and do what it says. And all that walking will add to your calorie allotment. Win-win!

I agree with walking, plus get some decent supportive walking shoes. If you lose weight, it seems you would worry more about what you are eating at DW so you don't regain the weight. Just a thought.0

Eat for strength first and you will have less room in your stomach for junk. This will help power you to increase movement. Together these can help you have a great time at Disney. A fad diet to loose X pounds by then could leave you feeling worse.0

Eat fewer calories than you burn before you go to Disney World?3 -
So start walking now so you get used to it. You can walk comfortably even if you're a bit heavy, if you work on fitness.kat_disney6 wrote: »When walking around Disney World, it is hot and I do not want to be overweight and out of breath from walking all day.

I'd say there are many, many tons of fat people there. I have to admit I didn't really grasp the extent of this country's obesity problem until I took my kid to Disneyland a few years ago and looked around while we stood in line. Good Lord, there was a lot of fat there.what are you going to do at Disney that you need to be thin for? there are a ton of fat people there.1 -

I know what I read and saw.
The fact this was also placed on a test group and worked So i think means there was something in it.
If I could find the link I'd happily post it, thank you! Sheesh.0 -

I can't even work out what you're talking about with spinning blood and blood fat and exercise timing. And you can't even find a vague article about what you think you saw. I'm going to go with a lot of nope.
Anyway, OP, as others said, calorie deficit for weight loss and get walking to prepare for the mileage at Disney.
I went last year and am going again in three weeks. You will fit on every ride there (unless you're pushing 400lbs) so really the issue will be the walking and heat. Get your fitness up enough and it will be all good. I think I was nearly hitting 30'000 steps on the fuller days.
If you're doing Universal they have more thrill rides which are naturally more weight and size restricted.
But either way, you'll have an awesome time and perhaps if you go again, you could plan a bit further ahead? My weight loss was never about my holidays, just a happy bonus that I didn't have to worry about anything while there size and fitness wise.
Now excuse me while I carry on dreaming of cronuts and Tonga toast.......0
