I ran a 5K in the morning with my 9 year old son. I proceeded to eat what I wanted afterwards, dessert, and even have a couple of drinks, and still came in under my calorie goal.0

My biggest success was my bourbon pecan pie. OMG. Epic is the only proper way to describe it.
Aside from that, I easily pulled a 230-lb deadlift on Friday, which was a 5-lb PR for me. I was pretty excited about that.
I was about 4 lbs lighter on Saturday than I was the day before Thanksgiving, which is cool but doesn't mean much. H2O and all.0 -
I ate some of everything and fit in a great work out after dinner (830+ calories burned). Between Thanksgiving and the weekend I lost 1.5 pounds - WIN!
Oh yeah and I lost over the week also, 1.8 lb.0 -
I hit the gym for over an hour of hard cardio Thanksgiving morning then I watched my portions while still eating at least some of everything I wanted. I was able to lose 1.6 pounds last week.0

Ran a Turkey Trot 5K road race with my wife in the morning...at a pace I could barely hold for one mile 6 months/55 lbs ago.
Just the two of us for the day, so we had planned a menu of generally healthy food (she's a vegetarian). Turkey (for me) stuffing, roasted brussels sprouts, cranberry sauce, and my wife's pumpkin pie made with tofu.
I knew I would go over my calories for the day...went over by almost 1000. Made it up over the next three days without too much effort.
Weighed in this morning...down a half-pound from last week. Life is good.0 -

I worked Thanksgiving. When I got home, me and the doggie went for a 30 minute walk. Then, I fed her and cooked up a delcious dinner for one. Chicken breasts with a homemade clementine/cranberry sauce, mashed red potatoes, steamed green beans, a roll, veggie saute (onions, peppers, mushrooms, garlic, herbs), orange carrots, and a glass of wine and mango jello with fat-free Cool Whip and pineapple chunks for dessert. All of it was yummy. I didn't feel deprived at all and I stayed under my calorie goal for the day, still having breakfast and a light lunch too!0

While grocery shopping for Thanksgiving supplies, I discovered Gone Nutty Peanut Butter Pop Tarts. I ate the whole box. Success.0

I've been working on losing weight since February this year. A couple of times I stopped logging, once because I was ill and once because I wanted to see if I could lose without logging all the time. Long story short, the answer is NO I cannot! So back to MyFitnessPal I came. I started back right at the beginning of November. On a positive note, I didn't gain back too much, but I did gain back. The victory came with Thanksgiving dinner. I lost those pounds I had gained by Thanksgiving and then to my surprise, I lost even more after Thanksgiving! Thanks to keeping track, this is the first holiday I didn't eat myself sick and managed to lose weight to boot! Looking forward to reaching my first mini goal of 200 lbs with my ultimate goal of 140 in the future.0

I was a guest at my friend's house for Thanksgiving. I brought a huge salad, which they always request. At dinner I had 2 slices of turkey, brussel sprouts, green beans and a tiny bit of stuffing/dressing. No desserts, but sweets are never my problem. Only bad was the couple of glasses of Proseco. I turned down bringing home any leftovers, so I think I was extremely successful!!!0

I got on the scale mentally prepared to gain weight and still lost .4lbs. My MIL said she noticed I had nice small portions at Thanksgiving dinner Though it was a family fest Wednesday-Sunday so several days without tracking! I suppose skating with family once and all the sales shopping throughout the week balanced it out0
-
I made sure not to eat too much throughout the day, saving up for dinner. I ate the breast part of the turkey (it was deep fried, =O). Had roasted veggies and other healthy veggie sides, a tiny bite of pie, and that's it. I really felt the weight in my tummy the next morning though since it was heavier than my normal meals, and worked out for an hour.
I'd say that was a success!0
