    I plan on going to the gym Thursday morning. I will log that in. Everything else will have to be an estimate since I don't know the ingredients in the food/places where I am going to eat. I will probably pick the highest calorie food item I can find that matches what I ate and estimate the portion since I won't have scales, meauring cups or spoons. I do plan on trying small amounts of everything except desserts.(I will not be eating any). I also may increase veggies and cut back on carbohydrates/starches. I want the discipline and I want to see my reality so I am logging it in! Happy Thanksgiving!:drinker:

    I'll log at the end of the day, but I won't be doing all of the cooking, and I won't be measuring, so it will be more of an estimate than usual. I'm not going to worry about going over my daily calorie target, or even over maintenance (I've only been slightly over maintenance two days since August, so I'm OK with going over by 500 or even 1000 calories for the day for Thanksgiving). Still, I want to log so I'll have my best estimate of just how much over I am. I haven't been in the habit of eating until I'm uncomfortably full on the holidays, and I generally only have seconds on a few dishes that I really want, but I will have dessert, and probably some alcohol, which are sources of extra calories I don't have on a daily basis.

    I am definitely logging in everything on Thanksgiving. Holidays always break me! Not this time! I'm fighting for what I truly want, which is to lose weight!

    I'm going to log everything just to see how much damage I've caused than hit the Gym first thing Friday morning. Well basically I will have to live in the Gym next week because I know the scale is not going to be friendly to me:ohwell:

    There is no point, lol. Just put down a quick add of 2,000 calories and don't worry about it. :P

    2,000?!?! don't forget to eat dinner!

    I will definitely be logging. I will also try to work out in advance so I can still be at my set calories for the day.

    Not logging a blasted thing. I will work out that morning, but thanksgiving is my reward. I've lost almost 50 pounds since August 1, so I'm going to enjoy the day and the food and just not worry about the calories.

    Try to focus on the compliments you will get when family and friends notice the weight you lost!
