    Hello all, TGIF!!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! My kids are ready to start the Christmas season, going to decorate this weekend. I am curious to see how the puppy reacts to the tree. He is just too cute, I bought him a Christmas hat & stocking.

    Thanksgiving was nice, food was good. I got up, had a cup of tea & toast, then did not eat until we got to my cousin's for Thanksgiving dinner. I do not feel like I ate too much, I tried to have a small taste of everything and I had a small piece of pumpkin pie, but I did feel too full at the end of the night. The scale was up again this morning, not good. I weigh the most I have weighed in a while, I am hoping it is temporary, but we will see at tomorrow's weigh-in. I am going to go to the gym after work and get a workout in tomorrow morning, I am hoping that will help on the scale. I am eating well today, really trying to be good.

    Sounds like you all had a lovely holiday! Have a great Friday & weekend! I will check-in later or tomorrow. :smile:

    @cafelelia nice loss!!! congrats
    Thanks for the compliments all.
    @hope002 nice loss as well. I bet your excited to be back into the 190's soon.
    @phoebe112476 fun NSV! love the bright smile.
    @ljdanny in the 180's!!!! Yes ma'am! Great job!
    @kirsten11872 sounds like you had a great plan. It's such a challenge particularly this time of year.
    @cyndiesstuff a maintain is good for T-day.
    @pacsnc6 lol...I know how you feel. I didn't think I ate too much yesterday either. We had our meal at 1:30. Pie about 3:30. Other than 1/2 a bagel after the race it was the only time I ate yesterday. But I still went to bed feeling full.
    I drank a little more than I usually do. I started feeling a headache coming on when I was getting ready for bed. But thankfully it was gone by morning. Molly made the most delicious apple cider mimosas. Just apple cider with champagne. It was sure festive and tasty. I had a glass of that, then a small whiskey on the rocks after our meal and the tiniest splash of almond Baileys in my Vanilla Nut tea with my pies. It wasn't all that much but I can't drink very much...not that I ever could. I can't wait to go home and eat leftovers. There's lots of yummy veggies left but what I really want is my daughters mashed potatoes and gravy and a yeast roll. And a side of mashed rutabagas. Oh well I might as well add cranberry sauce and my super delicious candy yams. There is just way too much food for one meal.
    I really want to change the tradition. I loved having Wednesday off work so I can cook. But in future I would love to eat one kind of pie and some of the sides on Wednesday. Don't you think it would be better to split all that goodness and variety to 2 days instead of one? Plus those pies just kept taunting me. I so much wanted to eat one the day before when it was still warm from the oven.

    @tryingagain5 it's amazing how quickly those calories add up. Good for you for going to the gym!
    @pacsnc6 did you love Frozen 2? We have been listening to the soundtrack. We loved it!
    @nstephenson01 your dinner sounds lovely. Was it tasty?
    @sleepymom5 woohoo...your counting down your challenge days! wedding and T-day done! I bet you enjoyed all of it but it's nice to be on the other side.
    @lennoncpa yummy turkey! That's my kind of turkey dinner!!!
    @GingerPwr you have been so consistent. I hope your not too discouraged. I am so impressed that you have been able to stay the same weight for so long. My weight just doesn't stay put. It bounces all over the place.
    Can you believe it is the weekend already??? And December too!!!
    It can be such a stressful time of year but a blessed time as well. We had a house full of old folks yesterday and so grateful no one ended up in the hospital!
    We will do our Christmas decorating on Sunday. Going to lunch tomorrow about 2 hours away with Molly's siblings. Her family is really grieving the loss of her mom.
    Have a great weekend everyone!!!

    @Mrsbell8well yes we liked Frozen2 especially the music!

    I it is a good story although I was surprised if didn't pick up where the first movie ended but it reviewed the story from the beginning so no biggie.

    Yes, they sure do! That's why I made sure to get to the gym before my day started.

    Friday 11/29 check in
    Food: logged and quite a bit under
    Water: 64 oz
    Exercise: 20 minutes speed intervals on the treadmill and a 45 minute class at the gym

    I wasn't very hungry today, I'm sure because I overate yesterday.☺️ Even though I still have 300 calories to eat if I want to, I ate quite a lot today. Mostly fruits and veggies, which helps me a lot with staying within my calorie limit.

    I didn't think I was overly tired today but took a nap this afternoon. I set my alarm for 4 hours later, never thinking I would actually sleep that long. Apparently my body needed that much sleep since I didn't wake up until my alarm went off. I still feel kind of tired so I"ll probably go to bed early tonight. I might as well get as much sleep as I can while I'm off work.

    Hello, checking in again. I left work a little early, got home and was deciding if I was going to go to the gym. I was feeling tired and it’s cold out, I was so tempted to put my pj’s on and relax on the couch with my blanket, but I got changed and headed to the gym. I did my hour on the elliptical, burned almost 700 calories and I feel great.

    I picked up dinner for the boys one way home. I decided to skip dinner, I made myself a cup of green tea. Now, I’m on my couch with a cup of tea, watching one of my favorite holiday movies, “The Holiday.”

    I’m enjoying my Friday evening! Hope you are all having a good night! I’ll check in with you tomorrow!😊🤗

    Check in for Friday
    Food not logged not sure if over...
    Water 64 oz
    Exercise none and low steps

    I will start with Thanksgiving. I think it was the funnest Thanksgiving I ever had. My husband is very funny and so is his family. Shannon, William and Mary Kate also inherited it. They were just all in rare form this year. I did great with exercise, I did get it all in however I didn't do as well as I wanted eating but I didn't do horrible either. I ate too much while preparing. I did ok at dinner, I took a little of everything and left a lot on my plate. The same with dessert but I guess I did overeat and felt full. I did drink more than I wanted to also. Friday I was exhausted and did nothing all day. I should have at least worked out but I didn't. I didn't track my food but didn't eat too bad. I did have dessert again, which I planned but now I am getting rid of the rest. No one would take it home and I am the only one who will eat it here.

    Today, I am going to eat lunch and then go workout. I am hoping to decorate this weekend but I have no one home to help me get stuff out of the attic. I will at least start taking the fall things down. I am interested to see how my weight shakes out too, I don't think I gained during this time with the wedding and Thanksgiving. I wasn't perfect with my plan but stuck to it for the most part. I can still tell I am retaining fluid so I am going to wait to see where I am when I get that off. Today I am hoping for a more active day with a lot of water. I am going to get right back to the basics!

    Hope everyone is having a nice weekend! xoxo

    @GingerPwr I am glad that you are part of our group. I hope things are getting better.
    @nstephenson01 Sounds like you had a nice, relaxing Thanksgiving.
    @lennoncpa Lol! I loved that vegan "turkey" . People are so creative!
    @Mrsbell8well What beautiful pics! You look so cute in your cheetah outfit too! It looks and sounds like you had a lovely Thanksgiving. If anyone needs a cruise control month of December it is you. You are always so busy! I am glad you will be able to enjoy the holiday season! And yes! I am so happy to be on the other side of my challenging time :) Thinking of Molly too....the holidays will be difficult for her, especially this year. A virtual hug to her from Philly...
    @pacsnc6 Sounds like a perfect Thanksgiving! I love that you were able to enjoy without stuffing yourself! I have said it before but you have really made this a lifestyle. I wouldn't worry about the scale. I bet that weight will come right off. I am sure you ate a lot more sodium than usual plus if you had alcohol, that would effect your weight too.
    @tryingagain5 What an awesome Thanksgiving workout! I am glad that you had a nice Thanksgiving! Awesome job hitting all your goals this week! When you get a chance, I am curious how you do the intervals on the treadmill. I can't do the treadmill yet as walking aggravates my hip and knee the worst but maybe I can do the same on the stationary bike.
    @ljdanny Sounds like you had a busy Thanksgiving! I bet you would have had a ton of steps if you didn't forget to put your fitbit on. I hate when that happens Lol! Christmas is my favorite time of the year too. I am hoping to start decorating today but I need help getting everything from the attic with this hip and knee.
    @phoebe112476 What an awesome NSV! You are so fun! This pic and then the old ET pic when you were away just makes me think that you just get out and enjoy life! I actually went on your page but you only have your current pic. I wanted to compare your pictures from the beginning. I think not only are you smaller but you look way younger. Glad you enjoyed Thanksgiving even with the long ride. I am curious since you had such a long trip to visit with family, if they noticed a difference in you? Or do you see them a lot so they have seen your progress as you go.
    @Cafelelia Hopefully you have a little break with the hockey. This was a busy week for you. Nice loss especially with everything you have going on. Thanks again for everything. I am back now. My company is gone and I can make a point to get on here every day.
    @lennoncpa I think it is amazing that you are still committed to your no sweets. Maybe you should journal and see why you are so committed to that and how you can take that energy and also put it in other areas where you struggle. I was told with journaling just start off but writing whatever goes into you head and just keep writing it down, don't try to organize your thoughts. Just an idea. Don't focus on how badly you think you did on Thanksgiving, just get up and move on. I know you got your exercise in this week as usual so that is awesome. Enjoy the new little puppy this weekend!
    @cyndiesstuff Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving! You have really made this a lifestyle change, and that is evident how you handled Thanksgiving! You should be proud. Good idea getting the left overs out. I am doing that today. I don't think I mentioned, I love your profile pic! I like how you have been working on one thing at a time. Good luck with the OA I hope works out and will be a source of support for you.
    @kirsten1121991 Nice loss, especially for a weigh in 2 days after Thanksgiving! It sounds like you had such a nice Thanksgiving! I felt the same way with Thanksgiving. I thought I did ok but felt too full so I did overeat. I love how you were able to make yourself go to the gym Friday and still were able to have the relaxing night you envisioned AFTER the gym. I am sure you enjoyed it more not feeling guilty from skipping the gym. :)
    @hope002 Nice loss! Guess that means things are going well?
    @timibotkin Nice loss! No problem changing your weigh in day. The only thing with Saturday is you have no buffer day if you don't weigh in. I can imagine how much you don't like black friday! I think those early hours are crazy. I did it a few years when the kids were little but it started getting out of hand.
    @Zumba_Luvah You will be in the 180s before you know it! You are almost there!

    Friday check in

    Food - logged & on target
    Exercise - 7 k steps
    Water - 1l

    The tournament took up my entire day and evening yesterday. My son’s team did not do so well and he had a bad game at the end of the day. It is so hard as a parent when that happens and all you can do is support them as best as you know how. Sometimes I wonder if it all worth it. Being in a sport has a lot of positives like fitness, teamwork, personal discipline etc. But there is the stress the kids and on us, and in the bad moments, I question it all. The tournament continues and it is going much better this morning for all of us. My husband is covering today to give me a “break”, which involves work and housework! Oh, and I had Doritos for supper last night at the rink as there were no healthy options, and I did not bring all meals for all day (I will remember for next time). The chips were actually within my calorie limit, which was fine, but honestly, after so much time without junk food, they made me feel kind of sick, which is a good lesson! On the positive side, I am moving into different clothing sizes, so I have been editing my closet this morning, and did some online shopping for transitional clothes, particularly jeans.

    @kirsten11872 - Nice loss! Great job sticking to your plan going to the gym, and these small decisions each day are the ones that lead you to your goals. What I a great Friday night you had!

    @sleepymom5 - So happy that you had a great Thanksgiving and are now moving back into your routine. Have fun decorating!

    @Zumba_Luvah - You have been kicking butt, and my guess is that you have built muscle, accounting for a small uptick. Great attitude and you will absolutely get there in December!

    @tryingagain5 - Fantastic that you met your goals this week! Also, it is just great that you are catching up on sleep and I hope that you are feeling well rested by the end of you mini break from work!

    @cyndiesstuff - Great day yesterday! I think that your decision to go the Overeaters Anonymous shows your strength and determination. I understand the shame part. I have mentioned it before on the team, but I got a doctor’s help a few years back regarding my eating patterns. The shame is in the secret of doing it, and once it is out in the open, you fell a whole lot better, trust me.

    @Timibotkin - Fantastic loss! Sorry that Black Friday made work so stressful. It does seem to have gotten out of control in recent years. Here in Canada, our Thanksgiving is in October, so there is really no reason to have Black Friday, yet we do and it has now started to be the entire week before, plus Cyber Monday.

    Hey team, please remember that we move over to the December thread tomorrow! Yes, that is right, it is December tomorrow! You can go on now and introduce yourself. If you feel like it, tell us about your 2019 (it does not have to be about just the numbers on the scale), and also about what you think your goals and plan will be for 2020. See you there!

    @pacsnc6 - at the bottom of the “discussions” section, you should see an “all discussions” link. Click on that and you will see the team Weight No More December thread about 14 down a long list. There are so many threads in our community open right now, so they don’t all show on the Discussions landing. If that does not work, let me know.
