    So we only have 1 week now till Thanksgiving. I hope everyone is doing good with their goals. As for me I am not. I got on the scale this week and I am up .4:sad: I don't know what is wrong with me lately I can't seem to lose and for some reason I keep gaining. It's driving me crazy. I do really good all week and pretty good on the weekends but I am still exercising when I'm cheating. I don't know. The only good thing I can say is that when I weighed in this time and went up I didn't cry and didn't binge like I usually do. I just kind of shrugged it off and still exercised and I am staying within my calories. So that is at least positive. Good luck to everyone I hope it is better than mine. Stay focused only one week to go.

    Hi all! The last week or so has been a roller coaster ride on calories! I was up a couple of pounds, but they came off at the end of the week. ??? - who knows, probably water weight. So I weigh in tomorrow, but have no cal's left for a snack tonight. I am gonna try to be strong! Talk to you all tomorrow! :smile:
    Good luck to everyone - keep up the good work! We only have a week.

    That is great that you lost Jill. Congrats. I hate when I am not losing it is hard to stay positive sometimes. I think I have been in such a good mood lately because of the holidays approaching. I love this time of year even though I know it is going to be hard on my weight loss. Keep up the good work.

    Hang in there usmcwifeb15 - .4 is hardly anything. You are hovering and will probably tip into the lose side today or tomorrow. Just stay strong and remind yourself you CAN do this. You are so close to losing more weight.
    Anyway, this is what I will be telling myself to help me maybe meet my Thanksgiving goal. Today is my weigh-in and I lost .2 .:smile: I'm happy because I am under 134 and I doubted I would get this close to my goal. It will be a real huge struggle now that my substitute teaching assignment is over not to gain anything let alone lose that last pound and a half to get to my Thanksgiving goal. It has already taken me almost 3 months just to lose 7 pounds.
    I will be checking back here over the week-end (my toughest time). I hope to see success stories and get some encouragement to stay within those darn calories.:grumble:
    have a good day all. I'm heading to the gym.

    Zaza .2 is still a loss so that is great! Weekends are the hardest for me as well. During the week is a piece of cake and I always stay within my calories but the weekends are like my downfall to doing good all week. Not this weekend though I am staying within my calories no doubt about that especially since Thanksgiving is on Thursday. Good luck to everyone. I am all up for the Christmas Challange. Good thinking Kristina!:wink:

    Christmas challenge! I'm definately in!! I think we should do weekly goals or a fun little challenge each week??? I don't know, what do you all think? This is just going to be a really hard time to lose weight, so the more fun we have doing it, the better! Talk to you all soon. Final weigh-in for me will be Monday or Tuesday!
    Good luck to everyone... We can do it!

    Okay I'm in...with Halloween candy and fall pies and treats coming, I'm going to need some accountability to keep me on track.

    Current weight :flowerforyou: (first time I am actually posting this number) 303 :grumble:
    Thanksgiving goal weight :flowerforyou: 288 (15 pounds lost)
    Stretch Thanksgiving goal weight :flowerforyou: 283 (20 pounds lost)

    Just weighed in...and I'm at 287 that means I have met (and exceeded!) my Thanksgiving goal weight and have 4 pounds to lose to reach my stretch goal...not sure I can lose 4 pounds by Thursday, but it definitely motivates me to stay on track 100% until then!

    Awww thanks so much...I'm proud of small accomplishments, but when I get on that scale and it reads 150...that's when I'll consider myself successful. Although it is awesome to see that for the first time my goal weight is MORE than I have to lose. It was so discouraging to see that I still had 190 pounds to lose when I wanted to get to 150...but now that my goal weight is the higher number, I'm really feeling good.

    Congrats to everyone who has been on this journey and is continuing it through Christmas...it's not so much reaching the goal that is important as is making changes and working toward it.

    By my birthday (Dec 6) I want to be 285, by Christmas I want to be 277 and by New Years I want to be 275.

    I think this is a great idea. I know that once Thanksgiving comes it's going to be hard to stay on track. Does everyone want to keep the Christmas Challange off of the Thanksgiving one or start a new thread? Just wondering if someone should start a new one.

    Let's start a new thread the day after Thanksgiving. We can give ourselves a break for the holiday. Also, there may be new people who want to join the Christmas challenge.
