Hey ladies.....
Glad someone else loves Leslies Walk Away the Pounds. Tiff bought them for me for christmas and I bought a set myself. I love it and it gives me great results. Good workout for home and its motivational.
Cathy- Yes you are missed. Tell us how you are.
Maggie- Motivation can go down at times but we are here for you. I'm sure you will get it back
Mello- Keep up your good work!
Verda- How was your fitness this week. Love the new picture too!
Well ladies...... I hope all my sixer friends are doing well. I am resting for the evening at the late hr just like I love. I have to work tomorrow then back to work on monday. I hope to visit one more time before the weekend is over.
Ladies.... THANKSGIVING IS CLOSE.... What are the tactics you will use to counteract some extra calories. Lets get a game plan now!!!
Take care,

Emmie, great job. The first step is the most difficult.Feeling better and went for a walk this evening - only about a mile but better than nothing. 5200 steps today.

Tamm, how did your job and house searches go this week? Glad to hear of your great workouts.
My Thanksgiving plan is to: reduce some carbs (do we really need mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, dressing/stuffing AND dinner rolls?), eliminate a few pie crusts (make pumpkin custard-but I really really need a small piece of pecan pie), use spray whipped cream, eliminate the cream sauce on the veggies and have them roasted instead, reduce the amount of food I cook (fewer leftovers) and then portion control. Also, I want to make Thanksgiving ONE day, and not eat leftovers all weekend (except the turkey). One of my daughters is a vegetarian. We tried Tofurkey one year - which was totally gross. Last year is was a bean casserole, which was just okay. This year I'm going to make a veggie pot pie (with a broth sauce, and an oil crust on the top only). That will be good. This is making me hungry!

Hi girls! Just reading about Thanksgiving makes me think about all that food and how I ALWAYS feel miserable afterwards! I am going to change that this year portion- portion-portion!!! They say the first two bites are the best so throw out the rest! I am going to do my daily workout now!!! Have a good day!

Hi all ... just reading about Thanksgiving makes me glad that I'm Canadian ... ours is over and done with so that temptation is gone for me. Good luck to all my American MFPers with that. I just got back from the gym ... I love it there ... such a great atmosphere and all of the staff seem great so far. I did a Zumba class ... it was way fun. Tomorrow is my first assessment and then I'll get set up to learn how to use the equipment and balance ball and stuff. It's nice to have something new to get me back on track (although the Cora's breakfast after the workout wasn't exactly the healthiest choice ... but ... yummy). The weather here is beautiful and hopefully it will be the same tomorrow ... my friend and I will do a big hike after I'm done at my assessment if all goes as planned. Happy weekend all ... talk to you soon.

I'm hearing great things about Zumba, so I'm excited to try it this week at my gym. How many calories do you figure you burned? It isn't in the exercise database yet.0 -
I was just thinking about Thanksgiving and wondering if anyone had any healthy versions of the traditional recipes. Last year, when I was doing better at the low-carb thing, we had whipped cauliflower instead of mashed potatoes. It was really good and I did not even miss the mashed potatoes. I'll have to hunt down that recipe for this year.
Susan - Pumpkin custard sounds really good. I make pumpkin squares every year - love them, but they are not low-cal.0 -

Tony and I are going to do steak and lobster on thanksgiving. We will be by ourselves(our choice). His birthday is on this day and our football teams play against each other. So we will having a birthday instead of the feast. My daughter is trying to talk me into cooking the feast the next day. I told her I would think about it. May be something different.
Allison I currently workout to Lesllie Sansone Ultimate collection It has a 1 2 3 and4 mile workouts on it. I have been switching it off with Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. But I have been doing the walking dvds quite a while now( I have some of her early years) and I just love them especially when its cold or wet outside.
Maggie Good for you for joining the gym. I am looking forward to hearing about the classes and such. I just love all your cartoons.
To everyone else Have a great weekend

Hi Emmie, Pumpkin Squares sound good. Are they made with cream cheese? DH and I love cauliflower, but I'm not sure about everyone else (unless it's saturated with cheese sauce). They will eat roasted broccoli, however. Easy and yummy.I was just thinking about Thanksgiving and wondering if anyone had any healthy versions of the traditional recipes.

My four daughters are all very thin, so they want their favorites at Thanksgiving. So, I've asked each one of them to finish this sentence:
"Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without ___________________."
Their answers are helping me cut out those foods that people won't miss. The other menu items, I'll try to put on a low-fat diet.0 -
Kel, can I come to YOUR house for Thanksgiving? I...Tony and I are going to do steak and lobster on thanksgiving. We will be by ourselves(our choice).

Kel lobster !
One year, my sister grilled steaks for her family for Thanksgiving. I say, if it works for you, go for it!
It's also my SIL's 30th bday on 11/26. We are going to celebrate the following Saturday, though.

I've had a good week, kept on exercizing and eating within my calories I think I was 125.5 on friday so hoping to see 125 on Tues. That will be a first since the babies! Jillian's 30 day shred is getting better and I feel good-I love her stretches I feel much better since I've been doing them after the shred and running.
I'm a little scared about t-giving too. Not really cooking any of it. Parents, Bro and SIL will be at our house for T-giving day but we're doing pot roast etc and the big turkey with extended family on Friday. I'm baking rolls and pies for Friday-I think I'll do some white and some whole wheat and a rich pie and a lower fat pie (both pumpkin). The rest of it will just have to be portion controll!0 -

I've heard that with Zumba the calories vary, depending on the instructor/choreography and how much you put into it. But to give you a range it would be somewhere between 575-1000 calories per hour.0 -
Wow! I'm definitely going now. Thanks
