DG - Thanksgiving Countdown (CLOSED GROUP)

Good Morning!! I had a good day yesterday I reached each of my goals and I even did more excercise than I planned and wound up buring over 500 calories yesterday!! That put my calroies for the day at 810 so I am not sure that is good but I did not get that until late in the day so I did not want to eat at that point. I am wondering if I am eating too little. I am eating around 1100-1300 a day but when I exercise that is putting me at around 850 a day. what do you all think? I know on some of the message boards they say you should eat your exercise calories but that seems counter productive to me. However, I have never really tried to lose weight that is how I got to this point.
Ok enough babbling
Daily goals for 8-25
Diet: to increase calories for breakfast and lunch so maybe to get enough calories.
Excercise: walk 20 mins bike 10 mins
On a side note Hi Leslie! Hawaii sounds so great I am jealous!! Welcome!
I hope everyone has a wonderful day!0 -
Yesterday..
Fitness: 40 minute walk -- done!!
Diet: 2 c fruits, 2 1/2 c veggies -- I got in the fruits, and close to the number of veggies
Today...
Fitness: 60 minute walk
Diet: don't eat after 10 p.m.
Challenges I anticipate: I've been having trouble with eating late at night for awhile now. I get hungry, and feel like I can't go to sleep with the hungry feeling.
Try drinking big glass of water (I like to munch on ice, but your dentist would hate me for this suggestion). Also instead of something loaded with calories and carbs try celery. Low calorie and carbs.0 -
@Rachel - OK, some say that you will go into "starvation mode" if your calories go below the magical number somewhere around 1200. In fact, MFP will not allow you to set a goal below 1200. What the so-called "starvation mode" is a point that many say your metabolism will slow and you are at risk of not getting enough nutrients. Here is what I think. Whenever you change your eating and exercise your body says, "Whoa, need to slow down the burning of the energy (calories, carbs, and ultimately your body fat). This will happen regardless of the number of calories. I have reduced my caloric intake to a goal of 600 - 1000. I do replace 1/2 of my exercise calories with PROTEIN. I did this when I found that I was loosing, but my body fat loss was decreasing. Meaning I was loosing lean muscle. Once I did this I found that my muscle was increasing and my fat loss % stayed steady. I have found that with the exception of during my monthly visitor I can stay within my calorie goal without much effort by making lean protein choices as often as possible. When I started by weight loss journey I kept track not only of what I ate, but also how hungry I was before and after eating. I found that my smaller portions were enough because I was satisfied. It was truly a revelation for me.
@Leslie - I have 2 weeks planned in Hawaii in June. I can't wait! MMMMM . . . . Any chance you had Lappert's Ice Cream? They have this pineapple - coconut ice cream in a chocolate dipped macadamian nut waffle cone. It is amazing. I love those pricey chocolate macadamian nuts that you mentioned. Have you ever tried the ones that have the layer of toffe between the nut and the chocolate. MMMMM . . . . I did want to point out that often when you have a little bit of a food party and you get back to it your metabolism has kicked up a bit and you can loose the gained weight and some extra with more ease. I am taking the kids to Disney for Labor Day weekend and I plan to enjoy that food! It is a kind reward that I am giving myself. I will be back to it as soon as I return home though!
Yesterday's Goals: I ate only what I logged in the AM for my meals. Somehow this made me a little more accountable. My husband has to adjust the treadmill track as it is sticking so I swam laps with my boy. We race for 30 minutes so I burned a far amount of calories. All and all a good day!
My Fitness Goal: No time to do the gym so I am trying to build my own little gym at home. Going to hunt on Craigslist for some weight training equipment. I notice that my swimming has begun to sculpt my arms a bit. Once all the fat is gone they have a nice shape started. Need to start on the rest of my body. I am also going to start doing sit ups today. 2 c-sections later my lower ab muscles are pitiful and I need to start doing something about that. Of course, I am going to do some cardio. And depend on my hubby what that will be.
My Diet Goal: Stick with my plan to log my meals early in the day and stick those items only. Need to get to the store as my protein is really low at home.
Challenges I anticipate: Nathan has a summer project that is due on Friday and he has a couple of things to complete. This will take more time than a normal homework evening. Need to try to let Dad contribute more today so I can get my fitness goals in.
Have a great day everyone!
Oh, tomorrow is a weigh in day for me! I look forward to it and dread it in equal parts!

Good Morning Ladies!
Yesterday's Goals: Went a little over in calories (about 150 over), but made up for it by meeting (and exceeding!) my exercise goals. Ran 2 miles (without stopping), and then alternated running/walking until I'd reached about 4 miles. Burned 600 calories. Woohoo!
My Fitness Goal: Some kind of cardio -- perhaps not as intense as yesterday so as to give my legs a break. 180 sit-ups (90 at lunchtime, 90 before bed).
My Diet Goal: Stick to calorie goal
Challenges I anticipate: Thursdays are generally "happy hour" days... we'll see if I can stick to the plan and stay away from alcohol.
Good luck, and Happy Thursday everyone!0 -
So yesterday I did some stairs and some walking, not much, but as much as I had hoped to. With my eating, I did pretty good about my portion control, although after dinner I got hungry so had a half serving of Wheat Thins and that seemed to do the trick. It sounds silly, but I feel guilty because I probably could have stopped at a quarter serving, but kept going just because I enjoy them. I do enjoy food so much, and that makes it so much more difficult to curb my eating, but trying and getting better.
Goals for 8/25/2011:
Fitness: Do at least 1 hour cardio today, including running, stairs, and maybe a video.
Food: Eat when hungry, only! I have a tendency to eat for the sake of "it's time to eat" including my daily snacks, so I am going to really pay attention to my stomach today and only eat when hungry and eat just enough to satisfy the hunger.0 -

I LOVE FOOD! You aren't alone! Suggestion: almonds have a few more calories, but waaay fewer carbs. Might be a better choice and I find that they take care of my crunchy salt cravings. I weigh out an ounce and put the rest away.

@Shannon-Thanks! I have a 3 year old & a 22 month old. There is a Just Dane 2 challenge starting on Monday. Maybe this will help you get your dancing in. Here is the link if you’re interested: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/324677-just-dance-2-challenge
Also, what do you put in your veggie/fruit smoothie? Im looking for one that tastes good
@Leslie-Welcome! Glad you enjoyed your time in Hawaii. I know its hard to get back on track after vacation so just take a couple of days to get back into your normal routine (this is what im doing now after a 3 week vacation and I have 10lbs to knock off from this vacation *sighs*)

CHALLENGES YOU ANTICIPATE: Feeling lazy today so I need to push myself to get my exercise in0 -
@Leslie – Your vacation sounds wonderful!! I think getting plenty of sleep is a great goal! It’s supposed to help speed up metabolism.
@tryingeveryday – congrats on reaching your goals!! I’ve read that if you go to low on calories, it slows down your metabolism. I’ve had the same problems on days that I do long hikes.
@Wendy – great job on the swimming. That’s great exercise!!
@Krebsea – super job on the exercise!!
@Jennifergayfield – I totally appreciate the issue of eating b/c you enjoy it. Sometimes, I’m not hungry and don’t eat when I should. Other times, I just want to eat everything.
@loveme445 – congrats on getting exercise in with the kids!!
RESULTS FROM YESTERDAY (WED):
FITNESS: 40 minutes walking done—actually, I got in 70 minutes!!
DIET: not eating after 10 p.m. – I ate 15 almonds at 10 p.m., but was still hungry. After that, I had gum and some cereal. Today, I’m going to get some 100 cal microwave popcorn.
MY DAILY GOALS FOR TODAY (THURS):
FITNESS: 60 mnts exercise
DIET: not eating after 10 p.m.
CHALLENGES YOU ANTICIPATE: I have a lot to do after work b/c I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow AM.0 -
Jackie - I have trouble with that 2 tblsp of dressing. I'm willing to count 4 tblsp - at least it gets me eating my veggies. I hate naked veggies.
Shannon - Good idea on putting the "2 TBLSP" of dressing on and then shaking it up. I usually put my salad in a tuperware dish for lunch. I'm going to try it . . .here in just a little bit. It does make sense though.
Wendy - I almost bought that Newman dressing yesterday. I'll have to try it. I bet it is hard to dedicate time to working out when you're doing all you do. Glad it's not me, lol. I've got the same goal as you today - make a diet plan for the day and then STICK TO IT!!!
Jackie - I like your idea for the steamed veggies. I just have a hard time making veggies for one at night. Guess I'd best get over it. I still like to steam my veggies with a steamer and a pot on the stove. The bags leave them a little spongy - don't you think?
GOALS:
I did meet yesterdays goals, today -
DIET: Have steamed veggies for dinner. Need to keep getting them in, even if I don't love 'em.
Drink water.
FITNESS: Long morning walk
Gym for pilates and stretching (I've been skipping this and my back needs it)0 -
Morning friends! It seems like everyone got off to a really great start and met their goals. I loved reading the different goals to get ideas for things I can work on as well.
@wendyc122005 - No I haven't tried that ice cream but it sounds heavenly! Next time...
RESULTS FROM YESTERDAY (WED):
FITNESS: Sleep goal to go to bed by 1030 - met! Didn't sleep so good with my lingering cough/cold, but still feeling better and less travel tired.
DIET: Stopped eating by 8:00 and stayed under goal!
MY DAILY GOALS FOR TODAY (THURS):
FITNESS: 15 minutes of swimming at least when I take my kids to the pool, 15 minute walk outside or on treadmill later, minimum 5 minutes weights.
DIET: 10 cups of water, stop eating by 8:00 and stay under food goal.
CHALLENGES ANTICIPATED: Feeling sluggish still and craving sugar. Gotta fight it!0 -
@Leslie - Yay! So glad you're joining us And it sounds like you had a blast w/your family in Hawaii! Ask your hubby to hide all the treats you got for friends - haha, at least that's what I'd have to do :P And we're still at abt the same weight like we were a mo or two ago, so don't feel bad. And ps for the sugar - try having some fruit...mangos, bananas, apples, mmmmmm
@Rachel - If your not feeling too hungry I woudln't worry too much. Just the foods you eat need to have lots of nutrition. If I were you eat like you are if your comfortable with it and see after a couple weeks if it's helping you lose weight. If not then you can up your calories a little and play around with the numbers to see what works.
@Wendy - I can only wish I was a swimmer - it's such a good workout! And I think it's great that you race your teenage son
@Elizabeth - Nice burn yesterday! I want to add in more walking/jogging after my runs too, I just do about 1/4 mile cool-down usually. And staying away from the drinking tnight, you can do it!
@Jennifer - I've noticed it helps me to not plan my snacks so much, only meals, and then eat a snack when/if I'm hungry.
@Renee - Thanks for the link, I'll have to check it out. As far as smoothies - I actually don't really make them, lol, just thought it might help with your goals. I love veggies, and have fruit sometimes depending on if I feel low on sugar. (sorry) Great job getting your workout in! And hey, you burned more calories pushing them too!
@Lana - Are you going to visit family or friends or have special plans for your vk? And I love my 100 cal popcorn You feel like your pigging out, but it's so few calories!
@Poppy - It might be a little tough in the tupperware - I usually do it in a large bowl w/lid, but I hope it works well for you! If not a large plastic bag, closed with the air in it could do the trick too I think.
Yesterday:
Fitness: Jog 2 miles and 20 min Just Dance - Did it! Had to fit the Just Dance in right before my daughters bedtime, but it was fun!
Diet: Drink 12 cups of water again - Check! With a good workout, this is very doable for me I've noticed.
Today:
Fitness: 30 min walk with kids, and 30 min Just Dance
Diet: Drink 10 glasses of water
Challenges I anticipate: Very tired today, slept in and it's making me feel groggy, :P So, taking a day off from running. AND I want to get to bed by 10:45, so I can wake up by 6:30. Need to get back on track here.0 -
NAME: Change_happens
HEIGHT: 5'7"
CW: 166
GOAL WEIGHT FOR THANKSGIVING: 150
FAVORITE WORKOUTS: Jillian Michaels, Bob Harper, Jackie Warner and Leslie Sansone
OTHER: I love to knit, crochet, sew, craft... and some other stuff I love being around my fam and my children are little blessings that I love tremendously. I love MFP and the nice people who are on their own lifestyle journey. I love this challenge 0 -
@Shannon - I race my 6 year old! He can't really beat me, but he is a skinny little fish and in a few years he will give me a run for my money. Of course, I let him win 1/2 the time to keep him interested.0
-
I will be away from the computer for several days. I will still be able to log via iPhone, but probably won't be able to get on here. I'm going to visit family. So...
Today's fitness goal: I did not get any exercise other than laundry and packing.
Today's diet goal: I ate regular meals despite running around, so that was good.
This weekend's fitness goal: at least 40 minutes of exercise each day (including walking on the beach) :-)
This weekend's diet goal: Keep on target with MFP calories and log each day even though on vacation!!
Challenges: I will probably be tempted to splurge due to being on vacation. I can't afford to splurge, b/c we have another vacation next weekend!! I will have to make sure I eat good things like grilled fish and plenty of veggies.0 -
lol, my bad :P Still a great thing to do w/your son though@Shannon - I race my 6 year old! He can't really beat me, but he is a skinny little fish and in a few years he will give me a run for my money. Of course, I let him win 1/2 the time to keep him interested.
k, so obviously I'm not getting to bed on time like I'd said I wanted to, oh well. It's easier for me to check in at night most days, so I'll set my goals for tmorrow now.
Tday was a rough day...
Fitness: Walk 30 min - it rained, and didn't have time w/kids, Just Dance - did not happen either, but I did end up walking 1.5 miles on the treadmill after I put the kiddos to bed.
Diet: Drink 10 cups of water - check
Tomorrow's Goals:
Fitness: Any kind of cardio 30 min
Diet: Eat all my protein
Challenges I anticipate - have a lot of things we want to get done around the house before my husband's crazy busy semester starts next Monday. And if I don't conciously try to eat lots of protein, that can slip some like it did tday, so re-focus on that tmorrow0 -
RESULTS FROM TODAY (THURS):
FITNESS: 3 miles of exercise, try a new DVD & do 50 crunches
~Walked 5.76 miles, did 50 crunches & I did Jillian Michaels 6 Week Six Pack DVD for the 1st time

MY DAILY GOALS FOR TOMORROW (FRI):
FITNESS: 4.25 miles of exercise & Strength Training
DIET: STAY UNDER CALS
CHALLENGES YOU ANTICIPATE: Well, weekends are always tough for me and I tend to be over cals the majority of the time. I have several events to attend and hope I dont overeat0 -
Hey! Sorry for my absence yesterday - I was travelling to clients all day. I didn't really make goals other than to NOT stop for fast food while on the road (got a turkey sandwhich at the deli instead) and to meet my trainer even though I was feeling a little under the weather (we just did weights not cardio).
Goals today...
Exercise: Go to yoga after work! Last week I skipped out cause of the rain but that should be no excuse.
Diet: Stay under my calories, don't eat any fries and hot dogs at the Peruvian chicken place tonight.
Challenges: 1. It's Friday and I'm lazy, haven't had a day off since last Sunday but yoga is low-key and I know Sunday will be a day off with the hurricaine coming. 2. The Peruvian chicken place is amazing and the dinner comes with french fries fried with hot dogs - I just need to concentrate on how good the chicken is.
Will read over the posts from yesterday a bit later and comment!0 -
Good Morning everyone!
I met all my goals yesterday except I did not do 10 mins on the bike I only did 5.
Goals for 8-26
Diet: Stay within my calories even though it is Friday and for some reason that makes me want to eat out!! But I did already set out pork chops so I am cooking!
Exercise: ?? I think I should go on a walk??
Challenges: I am really down today I got the new scale and I weighed on it and according to it I have gained .2 pounds and I have really been working hard at it this week so I am just really wanting to sit here. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I am not going to give up I know that is what it sounds like but I am not. My hubby is doing this with me and he has lost 7.2 lbs this week which is crazy and I am thrilled for him just disappointed for me!
Ok enough whining I hope you all have a blessed day and good luck with your goals!!0 -
@Rachel - 1. New scale you may get a slightly different read. Try weighing in on the old scale and see what it reads. 2. Keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat. If you increased your muscle mass that will effect your weight as well. 3. I retain water at least 2 weeks a month . . . that is why I stopped weighing more than 3 to 4 times a month. Bu the way, tried this new pork chop recipe last night. It was fantastic and easy. Found this parmesan, cracked pepper, and onion. It was a Kraft mix in the dry section with the marinades and the mixes. Low in calories, carbs, and you brush it with olive oil so you are getting good fat. They were FABULOUS! One suggestion if you try it. It says bake for 30 minutes on the package. I baked for 45 because they were a little tough at 30.
Weigh in this AM . . . 4 more lbs! Didn't get that push down into the 180's, but I wll next week! I may even break my rule and weigh in again on Monday to see that number change.
Made all of my goals yesterday!
Todays Goals:
Fitness: Swim laps minimum 30 minutes. Hoping since it is Friday I can put more time in. Treadmill has been moved in, but the track is sticking and hubby couldn't get it fixed. He is calling customer service today to get some direction.
Diet: Working out really well to log meals in the AM. This will be my ongoing goal. I do need to try to eat back some of my exercise in protein.
Challenge: Have tons of stuff to do this weekend and I tend to miss meals. So I am going to try to be really conscience of meals while out and about.
Have a great day!
Wendy0 -
Morning all.
I did okay yesterday - stayed under my calorie limit and recorded everything (both good things) but I didn't eat a healthy dinner - ate crap and I want to get away from that.
Didn't get my water drank yesterday either.
Going to try to do better today:
Diet goal: stay under calories and not eat any sugar
Exercise goal: go to gym - walk (check)
I'm starting to really like my morning walk now that it's part of my routine and it no longer hurts, lol.
My Diet Tip for the day: I've found that protien smoothies in the morning really help me eat better for the entire day. Alot of breakfast foods just make me want to eat more. I need more protien than I usually eat and I don't like to eat that much animal protien. I've found that a good whey protien smoothie, made with fruit and Silk Light Vanilla soy milk - sets me up for the day.0 -
Morning All!
Yesterday's Goals: Went home and took a (much-needed) nap. Didn't do any cardio, but will make up for it today. Was able to stick to my calorie goal (and stayed a little under), though went a little overboard on the carb count. Also, stayed away from wine yesterday, which is HUGE for me.
My Fitness Goal: At least 3.1 miles (5K) on the treadmill; 180 sit-ups (90 at lunchtime, 90 before bed).
My Diet Goal: Stick to calorie goal; NO wine; no eating/snacking after 9pm.
Challenges I anticipate: Not snacking after 10pm, and avoiding wine.
TGIF! Happy Friday everyone!!! 0 -
@Wendy Thank you for the almond suggestion, I'll have to try and see if it helps curb my hunger and lower my carbs...I think I'm a bit addicted to carbs, and it's definitely a struggle to stay under my daily goal there. Also, great job on your weight loss, you're rocking it!
@Lana Enjoy your vacation, we'll miss you this weekend, but have fun and don't forget your fitness/food goals.
@Shannon It can be hard to eat back the protein. Lean meats are so essential for building muscle and losing fat. Also, good luck to you and your husband as he starts his new semester. I think school is stressful on the spouse as well...my husband definitely helped get me through my Master's classes.
@Renee Great job meeting and exceeding your goals yesterday! Inspirational!
@Jackie Good luck resisting temptation...stay focused on the prize, your goals!
@Rachel Virtual hug sent your way for encouragement. Remember, new scales can be a bit different, so don't be discouraged, be proud of the work you are doing!
@Poppy Morning walks sound like a great way to start the day!
@Elisabeth Good job staying away from wine, and also great that you do sit-ups at lunchtime, great way to incorporate fitness into your day.
I did some cardio yesterday, didn't meet the 60 minutes though...Did good with my food goals though, ate some light popcorn when I got hungry after dinner and didn't even finish the package.
Today's 8/26/11 Goals:
Fitness: 40 minutes cardio
Food: Not too much snacking during movie night...also resist temptation to buy ice cream at the mall...
Challenges: Busy day, easy to just buy something at the mall when hungry, need to plan accordingly!
Hope everyone is having a great Friday, and if we'll miss you over the weekend, have a great one!
Jenni0 -
@swillis21- thanks for the encouraging words! Great workout yesterday! The JustDance especially sounds fun. We have that for our Wii and I’ve tried it a couple of times with my kids and it’s definitely a good calorie burn!
@change_happens – I love to knit, too! And sew and craft though I haven’t done those very much this summer. Are you a member of Ravelry.com? If you are, my username there is also CurlyLeslie though I need to update my page soon.
@launawe – Good luck on your vacation! I know how hard that can be to stay on track so just take it one meal at a time and try and log everything.
RESULTS FROM YESTERDAY (THURS):
FITNESS: 15 minutes of swimming – done!, 15 minute walk on treadmill - done!, minimum 5 minutes weights-done! I have so say that though it wasn’t much of a workout yesterday, the fact that I completed the goal was a big deal since I felt wiped out yesterday but I knew I had posted the goal here and had to do it!
DIET: Stop eating by 8, stay under food goal, drink 10 cups water – done!
MY DAILY GOALS FOR TODAY (FRI):
FITNESS: Walk at least 30 minutes, lift weights at least 5 minutes, 10 minutes on elliptical

Thanks to you all for your support and kind words yesterday I really needed it. I did not quit yesterday with my diet I ate under calories I think I came out around 1300 which I was ok with. I did not walk until the evening but I still walked! I did not ride the bike.
Goals for 8-27
Diet: Stay under my calorie intake and choose good foods
Exercise: Walk and clean house
Challenges: I don't know why but I feel like the weekend is a calorie free zone and I tend to eat whatever I want so I am trying to change that mindset.
Hope everyone has a blessed day!!
Rachel0 -
Hello everyone!!
busy day ahead for me, so here it goes
yesterday:
fitness: 30 min cardio - unless grocery shopping counts, lol, did not fit it in yesterday
diet: ate more protein, but had some empty cals at lunch, so did not get all of it
today (is a new day):
fitness: 30 min walk w/family to park this afternoon
diet: drink 10 glasses of water
challenges I anticipate: being busy w/projects, (incl organizing our storage :P), etc it'll be harder to fit in a walk, and tday we're going to a bbq, so I'll do my best to est my calories. Also, when I don't put some focus on my water intake, it doesn't happen too

Good Morning!!
Yesterday was a great day I did not do the exercise I had planned but I did go swimming for 30 mins which burned way more calories then I thought it would and it was amazing to run in the pool and my feet did not hurt once!! I hardly ever go swimming though because it is a pool at our apartment complex so I am always nervous someone will make fun of me. But going yesterday was so great my hubby and I had the pool to our selves. I also met my calorie goals yesterday which was great!
Today Goals 8-28
Diet: stay under calories
Exercise: Rest day we will go to church and I prepared food yesterday so I don't even have to cook!! And we dont have to go out to eat!
Have a blessed day everyone!0 -
@Renee - me too! I didn't get my goals done so I will try for the same thing again tday. Let's both jump back on again!
@Rachel - that's great that you went swimming! I hope that your neighbors are not like that, but if they are they are very shallow and they are not the kind of neighbors you would want to be friends with anyhow
And you are doing such a great thing every day by waking up and doing your best to be healthier, you should be proud! P.S. We're heading off to church now too! Enjoy your sabbath

Exercise: Walk and bike (back to what I was doing last week!)
