Okay people so I am going to be totally honest. I have not worked out since tuesday and I did not give anyhting I ate on Thursday (and today, leftovers are GOOD) a second thought. I know I am probably going to pay for it on Monday but I can live with myself if that is the case. I am going to workout tonight after my kiddos go to sleep and hopefully I will find the motivation to continue with it over the weekend. Well there is my confession

You're funny ... good for you for enjoying your holiday!!! I wish you all the best for your Monday weight in. Sweat it out this weekend ... it's worth it to enjoy Thanksgiving.

I did not work out on Thursday but I did weigh myself today to see if I put on anything and I did not I am exactly the same so Don't worry too much you never know what the scale will say

I ordered the Zumba game for Wii earlier this week from Amazon ... IT GOT HERE TODAY!!!! YAY YAY YAY. I only had the chance to try out some of the tutorial because we rented a few movies and the hubby wants to watch them ... but what I did so far seems like fun. I've got a bit of a sweat going on already. I'll let you know how it is as I use it more. I can't believe how fast it got here ... thank you Amazon!!!

Sweet, I ordered mine and it should be here on Dec. 1st. yay!

Cant believe another week has flown by and weigh in (for me) is in 2 days!! :grumble: . Ive just had half a pizza and chips for tea as i couldnt be bothered to make anything more demanding (and hubby being a pain!) but now i feel awfull that i ate it :frown:.

Doesnt always make it easy in my household when one of us is trying to watch our cal intake and the other can eat what he wants and not put a pound on.

Fingers crossed all goes well with the weigh-in :flowerforyou:

I feel your pain here! It is exactly the same way in my household. And while my husband doesn't outright try to sabatoge my plans, he tells me constantly that I don't need to lose weight, I don't need to worry about calories, I don't need to workout so much, etc, etc. A little encouragement would be nice, or even just no negativity. I put on 60 pounds with my pregnancy, and need to lose 50 pounds of it still...50 pounds that he claims I don't need to worry about! I make him stop at subway if he wants to eat out...he had chinese and I have a 6in sub for dinner today. Hope your weigh-in goes well!

Thankyou for your reply ~ im glad im not alone! My hubby says the same with that i dont have to lose weight and i look fine as i am, but they just dont seem to understand our mentality that we want to become healther and look better for ourselves :grumble: .

If ive lost a lb then ill be happy - will report in tomorrow ~ all the best! x

raindancer

I am glad the food is gone. I reduced the calories as much as I could without a rebellion but still it was there haunting me daily.
I don't think I did too much damage but I will be surprised if I have a loss on the scale in the morning.

Bk2011: Tell hubby people are dying younger and younger from obesity related problems. Tell him how much you love him and you want to watch your children grow up with him.

Hello All,

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and enjoyed all the Black Friday sales. I had a difficult 2 weeks but am back on track. I'm kicking up my workouts in hopes of not having to get any alterations to my dress for my husband's Christmas party. Wish me luck.

I'm still the same this week, but that's a godsend after the week I had *blush*

Sugar_Apple

I lost 1 lbs this week....

I worked so hard and only lost one measely pound.....i just have to keep pressing on

bk2011

I'm down 4.4lbs this week!!! Skipping dessert and mainly eating turkey on Thanksgiving really paid off, and so worth it for that loss! I have a horribly sprained ankle and am on some serious restrictions as far as any working out...as in I'm not allowed to do anything since I have to be on my feet for 9-10 hours a day for my job so I have to really watch what I put into my body right now.

Great job to everyone so far this week! Even to stay the same is great with the holiday!

Down 3 pounds this week. I am very pleased that I escaped "Thanksgiving" with only a slight and temporary bump up.

aprildauer

Well didnt lose much this week but for all the food I ate thursday and again yesterday at mother-in-laws thanksgiving, a loss is a loss. Im at 193.3. Now to start back up with the workouts since going across Kansas this week didnt make much time for workouts. Hoping next week will be better. I so want to break out of these 190s. I keep getting out of them and back into them and I want out of them for good.

Sbozek123

Grrr - gained 2.5 bringing me back to 186, but I know it's from my holiday weekend with my best friend - ate all sorts of yummy bad food, and drank a ton of wine/beer (and a few shots). I never drink (almost never) and I way indulged. But I know it won't happen again until late January, so it's ok for a little gain this week. Back on track today!!!

raindancer

Reading thru I was starting to believe I was the only one here with a gain. I am up 1lb but since my rings and shoes are fitting tight I pray it is water and I will be down tomorrow.

You guys that lost really rock!!:flowerforyou:

alibur85

down 3lbs!! Wasn't expecting that at all!! But honestly I haven't had an appetite lately. I get hungry but no desire to eat. and I haven't worked out since Tuesday last week because I've been so exhausted! I've raked leaves, but that's all the "workout' i've been getting in. Hoping to get out of the lack of energy and desire to eat some time this week.

just 3 more pounds until I reach my year end goal of 15lbs by new year!!

Jessifer123

Gained 2 pounds this week...back at 199 :grumble:

Too much good Thanksgiving food, and not enough exercise or water...back to the game plan today!!!

Great job to all of you who were still able to lose this week:flowerforyou:

299 down from 301... I did not gain any weight Thanksgiving weekend!

Ok so I did my weigh in this morning and it was not pretty. I was 260.2 which is up 1.8 from three weeks ago. I had really just given up for a while because I just didn't think that I could do this. I think I am back on track now so hopefully this week and the following weeks will be much better.

On another note I am needing some advice from you guys. I do alright at counting my calories, could be better but I know what to do. I am having a really hard time fitting in exercise. I leave my house between 7:30 and 7:45 in the morning and I don't get home until 8:30 or 9:00 at night. I get one 30 min lunch break during the day so I have a hard time getting a walk in then along with eating lunch. By the time I get home at night I just want to eat dinner, do some studying and go to sleep. Any suggestions on what I can do to get in some more exercise? Thanks!

That is a really late day... you could try to get up 45 minutes earlier and workout before work... I leave my house at 5:40 every morning so AM exercising is not for me... I just go directly to the gym after I pick up the kids from afterschool at 5:30pm.

billybed

I am also not getting in a ton of exercise and am still dropping. Diet is an important part of this and if you stay on it you will lose (just slower than those people that are doing both). Find the happy medium that works for you and stay with it, you can succeed!

NotAllWhoWanderAreLost

not sure what your day consists of, but is there ways to incorporate my activity into your daily routines? Walking to a colleague's office instead of sending an email? Parking at the far end of the parking lots so you have further to talk to get to stores, etc., taking stairs, not elevators?? It looks like you may be a weekend warrior Just keep your eyes on the food journal and sneak in bits of activity where you can!

JulieTX86

Well I am only down .3 this week. I weighed in at 179.6. I guess I should be happy with even a tiny loss because I honestly thought I would have a gain this week.

Good job everybody!
