Just wanted to know what others opinions were concerning the Thanksgiving Holiday. I have decided to bump up my workouts a little bit and be more watchful around the Holidays so that I won't gain. What are your plans?

    It's exciting. This is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. Holidays are a part of life. If you can't deal with holidays then you're not on a plan you can live with.

    I'm excited because this year the bf and I will be able to be with his mom and bros and other family. Last year we were in a different state and couldn't afford the trip. The food I'm always meh about - I don't like to sit all day, and I sure as heck won't eat all day. But cutting up and having fun with his family - wouldn't miss it for the world, they are sweet and silly and a pleasure to be around. :)

    I'm excited! I never diet on holidays. this year I will exercise a lot more to try and make up for some of the eating though.

    I have a small family and we all just kind of decided to only have our favorite things and not a ton of food like usual. I asked my mom to make a small pan of cornbread dressing this year instead of a lot because that's my BIGGEST Thanksgiving weakness, haha. I could probably sit down with the whole pan and a spoon. I wish I was joking. >.>

    Pretty psyched. I am going to punish some turkey and mashed potatoes. Believe that.

    My plan is to plan on getting less time to work out, so being more mindful of calories Im eating, try to be more active around the house since I won't be at the gym as frequently, and come food consumption time - eat sensibly, watch portions and pass on seconds unless its a really good wine! :drinker:

    Same itinerary for Christmas!

    I'm pretty excited, but holidays are 'break' days for me. I just try to not go overboard with the portions and remember to enjoy myself :)

    I am leaving town to avoid overeating with my parents :P Mom's cooking is to-die-for and I can't resist. All my willpower evaporates when I walk into her home. BUT I am thankful for my family and I will take the time to show them!

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

    Dreading. I'm very streaky. When I'm on my game, I can't be stopped. But let me at one treat and I end up waking up two days later from a sugar-induced coma :)

    One day doth not a diet make or break. Therefore I throw it out as a free day and enjoy it and just get right back on track the next day. I don't weight myself for a couple days after either and work out hard.

    thanksgiving night... I'm gonna stuff myself silly, then keep doing that until the leftovers are gone. Then go back to my normal eating habits.

    Exactly.
    Can't wait!
