Does your trip planning include getting fit for the MOUSE?

[Mousekedude]

I wonder if Mousekedude has too many Dole Whips, will he inflate and become a walking Dole Whip, like Violet Beauregard became a blueberry?

Well, I'll take my chances...

And boilerbabe could do an extra Dole Whip dance for her new walking talking friend the Dole Whip-dude!

[Mousekedude]

Heck, we're all going to do a Dole Whip dance together: us, the Boilers, NaCler and Mom, you and your mom, Mindflipper.... all of us!
Should make for some fun video!

Why do I hear the Oompa Loompa music in the background???

...and I would expect it to be posted somewhere!

Tell ya what, Mousekedude, gimme the camera! I can be the "designated videographer" and I will record the group dance for posterity!
After all, someone has to video record it - so not everyone can be in front of the camera. I am willing to make the sacrifice...

Guys... we will be at WDW... there will be one or two CM's that would gladly videotape the WHOLE group. Nice try though...

Oh, I volunteered for that a loooooooong time before "a looooooong time ago" when I was daring enough to even offer to film Boilerdude singing his Polynesian Christmas Carols that boilerbabe hates so much...(now that's sacrifice!)....

[Mousekedude]

Look, Mindflipper... you're going to be in the video, like it or not! Like NaCler says: there will be plenty of CM's available to handle the camera. You can wear a hat/wig/sunglasses if you want to maintain your "man of mystery" mystique, but you're still getting in there with the rest of us! C'mon, bro... man up!!

You know Mindflipper, you could always go for the Unknown Comic look...maybe add some Mickey ears to keep it original! Just stop by Publix on your way to the meet-up

[mindflipper]

Sorry, guys, but I best work behind the scenes...

[Mousekedude]

Okay, Mindflipper, you need to tell us why you're so skittish about appearing in pictures or video. Are you in the Witness Protection Program, or what?
What are you going to do at our meet-up... hide behind someone or something while we're all taking pictures? The more you fight this, the more I can't wait to see you in person and get a picture of you!
Of course, with all due respect, if you made it clear that you didn't want a picture or video of yourself posted, we would respect that. But you can't blame us for razzing you, can you?

[Mousekedude]

Back on topic: I weighed myself last night, and I've lost another 3.7 pounds! So that's 24.7 pounds total! Woo hoo! Only a third of pound left to reach my major goal, and I've still got almost two weeks to do it! Yeah, I'm gonna make it!
Again, I want to stress how much help everyone has been on here with their encouragement. This has been one of the major motivating factors in my being able to stick with it! Thanks and hugs to all! (well... manly handshakes for guys who may not be comfortable with hugs... )

NaCler, how are you doing, buddy? You've lost more weight than anyone, I think! Still making progress?

[Amy]

Great job M-dude!! I hope that I can kick start my fitness program walking every day at WDW and then continue the success when I get home...it has been toooooooo crazy (and with a few minor injuries as well )here the last few months to do very much but I am inspired by everyones' success

[NaCler]

NaCler, how are you doing, buddy? You've lost more weight than anyone, I think! Still making progress?

Congrats on getting close to the TOP of your goal! I am glad we could help out with this great accomplishment! Unfortunately I am still stuck on 40. The plateau is resisting my attempts to change things around. I am going to try everything I can to get to 50 by our trip. I'm still confident, although there are only 14 days left... and a Thanksgiving roadblock! haha...
