Thanks for setting up the group space.
I will try to get 180 by 11/24/2015. I'll post results on Tuesdays again.
Starting weight 7/7/15 is 201.80 -
You guys have been very inspiring for me.
Although I am at goal weight, I need accountability to not gain any back.
Still love this group. Hope you don't mind if I tag along.0 -
Ok. That's great. That is my next "bathroom" project. That's the only time I get 30 seconds to myself to think

Thank you for doing this!!!!!!!!0

You are very welcome. I just hope I don't fall flat on my face with this. I will try my best. And yet for some reason I feel like Bulkwinkle J. Moose right now

I joined because I saw this in the message boards, but it seems like you all know each other already. Is it ok that I joined even though I'm a stranger?0

Hi, I would love to join this group. I'm a Mom to 5 kids, ages 2-16. I really need to get back in shape now that I'm done having babies. I want to lose 30 - 35lbs total. Losing 20 by Thanksgiving seems totally doable....I hope!! I could really use motivational friends. I'm starting my challenge today! Good luck to everyone!!

@danifo0811 I know, I know...it's so close I can...feeeeeeel it. I saw 200.2 the other day, but I haven't yet dipped into the onderland number, not even early morning nekkid and evacuated....but it's coming. I've waited 25 years to break 200. I want to hit it and stick it, then move right on by.
I have every intention of getting to 180 next. Thanks so much for your support! Without these groups I would bump right off the wagon during the journey like I have so many other times.0 -
Hello @Pie319, @susiederkins21 and @MammaxFive welcome to the Thanksgiving Challenge! Some of us met on the 4th of July Challenge, others at Easter, some fell off the train, some came back, some never do.
All we ask is that you give it a chance. Gain, Lose, or Maintain. Everyone in the group is sincere. Best of luck to you and all the members here in the upcoming stretch!0 -

*snerk* Nekkid and evacuated. . . . That one's going to make me giggle for a while.0 -
I came by to chat again. I pick up Woman's world mag. at walmart this morning and it was telling how older woman could lose weight Which I am having that problem. It said to go gluten free and sugar free. I am already on gluten free diet , so I am going to read labels and be sure I am not getting one spec of sugar this coming week it said pound a week loss. I have been eating the instant pkg. of oatmeal and it has real sugar in it. I remember at WW way back in the days no sugar allowed at all Had to read all labels to be sure.So that my mission this week Cut sugar out completely ever last drop I can have natural sugar in fruits and will remained on the Plant diet too. He did recommend Stevia So back to the old fashion oatmeal
marie
PS I do need a sugar free dressing, Any recommendations
Marie0 -
Marie, get the real oatmeal and then you won't have added sugar.0
-
Marie, I'm not sure if there's any sugar in Balsamic Vinegar, but you can make a wonderful, easy dressing with that, a little olive oil and some herbs and spices.0

Yes Barbie I know that but I love the ease of making the package But I did make Some this morning using the same method as I do on the instant pkg. Work out pretty good. I need to find some small bags and measures out my 1/3 cup ahead of time. This is a work in progress.
Thanks Angelfire I will try that , however at lunch today I just sprinkle some sea salt and garlic mix on my salad and was pretty tasty for me. I am going into this with an open mind
There is got to be a way for an old lady to get a flat belly. Will keep you guys informed of my progress.

Marie.......I read on a blog thing on MFP about measuring quick oatmeal into mason jars with your cinnamon or sugar/substitute and stash on your shelf. When you were ready to eat them just add hot water wait a few and dig in. I thought it was kinda cool. It said you could use ziplock baggies too but I like the idea of just adding water and not wasting the bags. I'm sure you could also use the small glass bowls with kids I see sold at Walmart. A little boy I used to babysit would come with those every day with his homemade baby food in them. I think I am going to try doing that when school starts. Hat way the girls will have a quick breakfast that will last a little longer than cold cereal.
Esther0 -
you know Esther I was going to buy me some gluten Free cereal but the oatmeal seems to keep me fuller longer than cold cereal. , I think I will fix me a jar tonight and put it in the fridge till morning. If I don't like the texture I can take the lid off and microwave a few seconds Thanks I too read that but it has not enter my head
Thanks breakfast is on the way

If you just mix the dry stuffs together. Add your sweetener and raisins if you like those and then in the morning just heat the water and add it then. At least that was the instructions in the blog

Hi all. I'm still in Las Vegas with DD at dance nationals. We saw Zarkana tonight and it was so good. I'll try to post photos.
Marie- try olive oil and red wine vinegar with some Italian or Greek spices for salad dressing. Also, I cook oat meal for the week and put it in the fridge, then measure/ microwave when I'm ready to eat it. This way I only have to clean the pot once, saves time too. My kids are all teens so they can have oatmeal without having to wait for it to cook.
Easily getting in my 10 k steps and then some the last 3 days so hopefully that will offset food choices while out of town. Hoping to lose 20 lbs by Thanksgiving! Woot woo here we go.
