Hey everyone! I just realized that there are exactly 5 weeks until Thanksgiving. I want to try and lose 10 lbs by the time I sit down for a big Turkey dinner, which is exactly 2lbs/week until then.

We can weight in every Thursday morning, starting today if you already have (or tomorrow if you didn't weigh in today!).

Anyone with me!?!

T-Giving Goal: 176

Let's earn that Turkey dinner!

    I'm in too! I regularly weigh in on Thursdays anyway, so that works out good. I have also been at a stand still for a little while.. maybe this is the push I need, I sure hope so!

    Great! Yes, I also have been at semi plateau, and I need a shorter-term goal to keep me focused! I know we can do it! 10 by Turkey Day!

    This is day # 4 for me. I have met my daily goals, with except for going over the recommendation for carbs and proteins twice in the past 4 days. I find it hard to limit myself to 1200 to 1400 calories @ day. I am eating air popped popcorn and baby carrots mostly as a snack. Does anyone have any suggestions on filling and low everything snacks?
    I can't wait till Thursday weight in I hope for a big number!

    My go-to snack is half of an apple w/a few raw almonds. Its pretty light on the calories depending upon how many almonds you eat, and the apple gives you energy while the almonds keep you satisfied!

    nicole_a and McFatterton thanks for the snacks suggestions. Yesterday apples saved the day!

    I am looking forward to the weight in tomorrow. I have not exceeded the suggested calories intake this all week! As for exercising, i wish I would like it more! However I have been walking 5 times @ week and doing my back stretching and core strengthening exercises also 5 @ per week.

    Good luck with the weight in tomorrow!
