10 by Turkey Day!

nicole_a

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!

Hey everyone! I hope your weeks are off to a great start. We have 3 more days till our first of 5 Thursday weigh ins! Let's work hard and see a two pound loss!

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!

OK sw 225

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!

nicole_a

Weigh in tomorrow morning if possible guys! Post your results here, even if it isn't the whole 2 pounds, we still have 4 weeks to go!

nicole_a

Hey all! I just weighed in and the results are as follows:

10 by TD SW: 186
Thanksgiving goal: 176

CW: 184.5
1.5 lbs lost this week!
Pounds to lose in next 4 weeks: 8.5

I didn't lose the goal of 2, but I'll take 1.5 any day! This past weekend I wasn't as strict as I should have been with my diet. I think I'll be able to pull it together this week and have a bigger number (goal: 2.5) @ next Thursday's weigh in.

Good luck everyone!

So did my weigh in today 1.5lb down from last week woohoo...

So here is my 10 by turkey goals
sw 302.3
gw 292.3

Current weight today .......297.9

That is a 5.4 lbs this week...I am not sure how i did this....i am soo shocked, i have been gettin on the scale each day and it kept going down and down...i am not complaining by no means. I did start exerciing more this week, I bought an elliptical at a garage sale and have been doing that some..

So that leaves me with 5.6 lbs over the next 4 weeks.
