    Got my new scale a day early so I am all set for Wednesday. I also told all MFP friends that I was changing my weigh in date lest they think I have become scale obsessed ...

    Jodie ... we should also make a "day after Turkey day" weigh IN LOL

    I think thats a great idea to weigh in the day after thanksgiving! I had my aunt and uncle over to dinner last friday and they brought a Chocolate-Peanutbutter pie for dessert! How dare they! Yes i couldnt help myself, i have a lil piece of it! weighed the next morning...after my workout of course...and it didnt hurt me much. Was so yummy though.... i will post my weigh in the day after turkey day.....

    Happy Monday Challengers!!!

    Yep, only 9 1/2 weeks til Thanksgiving! I just love this time of year. So many beautiful colors everywhere!

    @glasielady..... I absoluteley love Zumba!! When I go 'home' to western NY (two or three times a year) I go to the class at the Y there, but I dont like the class here where I live. I've tried the dvd's, but its so much more fun in person!

    Idea:tongue: .... since this is a Thanksgiving Challenge.... if anyone has any healthy recipes/ideas for Thanksgiving please share!!

    Hi All!

    I have had a challenging week socializing with customers nearly everyday and trying like mad not to go too overboard. I did manage to lose1lb despite eating and drinking out nightly. Thankfully, I am at home this week and able to control my meals. Now, I just have to get to the gym!

    Man!!! I completely forgot to post last Wednesday. Long day at work probably. So I am making sure I did first thing in the morning. My starting weight was 235 but I didn't take it quite seriously. So my weight for last week was 243. Something about being in the 40's again didn't set right with me so I am taking this challenge very seriously now. My current weight for this week is 238.2. I have got to reach my goal!! Have a wonderful day all.

    SW 235
    Wk 1 243
    Wk 2 238.2

    Good Morning.
    My weigh in this morning was 198.5
    Loss of 1.5 for this week.

    I cant tell you how proud I am of myself. I have been over 200lbs for SEVERAL years now and this is the first time I have really done anything about it. I am very, very short so me making the decision to lose the weight is a wise one. I am just happy to see the 100's again on the scale.
    :)
    I think everyone is doing such a good job chanllenging themselves. I know we can all keep up the good work.

    OK, so I didn't post my weigh in last week which was 158, which I normally do Mon mornings. This week the scale says I'm at 155, Wed morning! I'd like to believe that, but I don't think that's correct, so I will use 157 and see what happens on the scales next week! :wink:
