You know what stinks? I am having a big Thanksgiving dinner later today. I know that it will be relatively healthy - me and my two sisters will do our best to make lighter versions of the family favorites. I will will TRY to make good choices - only sampling the things I love and don't have very often. But even so, with a couple of drinks, the dinner, and pie for dessert, I'll probably be up two pounds tomorrow. :sad:
I am the biggest advocate of "you gotta live", so I am going to go and enjoy every minute of it, and I am not going to lose control and binge, but still....it IS frustrating. :grumble: Know what I mean????
Don't worry about it, it wont hurt for one day
Good Luck for weigh in everyone x0 -
Hey everyone, I won't be weighing in until tomorrow because I need to buy a new scale
I hope you all did well with your weigh ins I have no idea what to expect tomorrow?
Have a fantastic weekend :bigsmile:0 -
Hey guys hope you all had a great week... How was everyone's weigh in?0

I actually forgot it was Friday, and I forgot to weigh myself! The holiday yesterday really screwed me up lol so I will have to weigh myself tomorrow. :laugh:0

I AM A FATMAN!!!!10

Thanks for the encouraging words - I ate a lot but not as much as in past years....I will be fine within a couple of days. :blushing:
I did the same thing... I think it would be worse depriving ourselves of the holiday celebration. We'll just have to jump back on track and do a few more exercises in the next week, that's all. I can't wait for these leftovers to be gone now, though. I don't want any more temptation ha ha ha0 -

Lost 3lb this week so happy finally feel back on track after a bad month :-D
Going to be as good as i can over the weekend it's given me my determination back!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend 0 -
Awesome Challenge as usual :happy: I didn't do the best this past week with the food part but I am really going to put a plan together this week when grocery shopping...my problem being that we are in and out busy busy busy!!! So I grab what is easy trying to add something healthy to it...this week I am going to be ready for it. Good luck to everyone...I am happy to say that I managed to mainitain this week and I was shocked but I want to see the scales go down next weigh in.
Take Care0 -
Ugh... a gain this week of 1.6 pounds. First gain since I've started back on MFP this time. No one to blame but myself (and the Thanksgiving holiday eating I guess).
Gotta look forward and get back on track. Was gonna put the treadmill in the basement for the winter, but now there's NO way I'm going to do that... it would be way too easy to ignore it. LOL
Hope everyone hangs in there with this week's challenge... we don't have much time left before Christmas... it's going to be here before we know it!!0 -
I am still in but not sure again where to put my weight. I am the same though but really will be focusing on my tracking for the next 4 weeks....I want to be 4 more lbs down.0

Hi everyone! I missed you all I'm up 2 lbs this week - we walked a lot, but we were constantly eating out at these coffee places and restaurants, so i definitely kinda let myself go... A lot will probably fall off since I'll be shifting from just eating whatever to eating well, drinking water, and running again.
Love the challenge this week! I'll log in everyday, and do low-carb most of the week. A little less than a month!! Where has time gone? :noway:
Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! We've made it over that hill - now there's nothing stopping us from the prize!0 -

hey all,
how we all doing this monday?
xxx0 -
Mini challenge completed !! ...except I already closed out my food/exercise diary so I didn't log it all under my exercises. Oh well, at least I did them... haven't been able to complete a full mini-challenge in awhile (kidney stones have been kicking my butt)... but it did feel good to finally complete it ALL today! Now I have to start working on my water instead of the lemonade I've had to keep drinking!
Hope everyone had a great Monday... Christmas is right around the corner!!0 -
Glad everyone is sounding so motivation. YAY! My computer has been really slow lately, and I actually couldn't get on this site earlier, so I am slacking a bit with my comments, BUT I am still here. Hope to stay on track for the rest of this week. Hope everyone else does too. 0

Hi everyone! Sorry I haven't been around for the past week but I was -kinda- having a week off and set myself to maintain in hope it kick starts my weight loss again after not losing for 5 weeks. Also had the weekend off as it was my birthday and ate way too much to track!! :P :P
The good news is I didn't put any weight on... I didn't lose either but I hope I can get it going again this week!!
Hope everyone else is doing well! xxx0 -
It is quiet...well I had a nice run yesterday and did the challenge, and I've added some carbs back in my diet because I found that when I was just eating protein and veggies/fruits, no carbs, I was eating WAY too little and starving my body. I'm going to start doing 30DS next week...did you guys see weight loss with it, or just inches? I'm looking to lose weight 0
-
Just realized that I did Wednesday's mini challenge today (Tuesday)!! oh well... Was there a Tuesday list?
I did all of it, except for the lunges... my knees are killing me tonite. I also did some belly dancing tonite for the first time in many years... it kicked my butt! LOL but in a good way!!:happy:
Hope everyone's week is off to a good start! Can you believe it will be December in TWO days!? crazy!!0 -
Countdown is getting closer! Hope all is well with everyone! We can do this! :drinker: DRINK UP!!!0

Congratulations on no gain for your birthday week!0 -
How is everyone doing??? I thought I was going to die today while doing the pulse lunges...I had my butt kicked at boot camp this morning! Oh well exercise is done for the day...until tomorrow 0

I am going to admit - this challenge has lost some of its luster for me....not that it is anything that any YOU have done, or could have done differently. But "where I am at" right now is wavering between just trying to maintain my weight and trying to lose an additional 5 pounds or so. So it has been hard for me to get REALLY motivated. I am not giving up though - at least not yet. :laugh:0

No more excuses for me...I am going to push myslef harder this month then I have the last 3 months I have been on MFP & that means I will push myslef harder while exercising and be more mindful at what I am eating & snacking on. Well that is my plan....Does anyone have a plan for the month of December?
