    Everyone please don't "guilt" yourselves this week.......

    Friday I spent the day buying holiday gifts for a group of military folks deployed in Iraq. They wanted sheets( theirs are "see through" :cry: ) socks, air fresheners, music, undershirts, soap, garbage bags :cry: coffee, tea, gloves...tons of "stuff" that they won't have if we don't send them. Of course candy and games, books, videos - comfort things. I was so humbled by the fact that I have it SOOOO good. These kids - many of them under 21 yrs old - are away from their family and friends for the first time - and will be spending the holiday trying to keep their chins up.

    If you live in the U.S., please be grateful and thoughtful for the extravagance in this country. Try to make a difference in your choices in the world.

    And, if you can't "see through" your sheets - keep these Americans in your thoughts - and try to live in gratitude to all these brave men and women, who may not believe in this war, but who are fighting for freedom. Mention them at your feasts this week.

    :heart: Cheryl

    I did the slim in 6 years ago and you will lose weight, but what you will really see is you will lose fat and gain muscle, so don't get discouraged by the scale. Make sure you do measurements. Unfortunately for me, I fell off the wagon (routine) when we moved, and am in the process of divorce, but I do still have the tapes and I have done them a few times, just not everyday! Keep up the good work-they are GREAT workouts!

    I have been watching very carefully & exercising a tad more because I know that no matter how hard I try, Thanksgiving will be a true test of willpower for me. I weighed 206 on 11/10 & today(11/21) my weight is 201.6. When I began my journey back at the beginning of September, I was 239 lbs so I am pleased with my progress. This site is WONDERFUL!!!!!!

    I hope everyone has a Blessed Thanksgiving :smooched:

    hi all, I haven't been here in awhile because I was trying out Banks's challenge of not using the scales. That was amazingly hard for me. So here goes:

    Aug 30 205
    Sept 15 200.2
    Sept 23 197.5
    Oct 1 190.8
    Oct 7 186.2
    Oct 17 185.8
    Oct 25 180.2
    Oct 29 179.4
    Nov 28 174.2

    My goal is 145-150 but I made my Thanksgiving goal of 175 and a little more. So I have dropped a little over 30 lbs with about 25 to go. I have a alot to be thankful for this Thansgiving. I will definately be thinking of my mfp friends.

    I started on 11/6/2007 @ 186 lbs
    Today on 11/10/2007 @ 183.8 lbs
    Goal weight is 130 lbs and I would love for that to be by summer, but we all know that is wishful thinking...but I feel that maybe if I set higher goals, I will push myself harder.

    I didn't exercise yesterday because like all the other ladies, my Aunt Flow has came to visit...but with or without her I intend to atleast get on the treadmill for a while this evening. I did only commit to 5 days a week, but I am scared of missing days because I am afraid I will not get back on track, so I am trying to do it 7 days a week. Thanks for everyone's support.

    Today is 11/23/07 and I weighed in at 181.8 lbs this morning.

I get a new trainer on Tuesday and she is gonna kick my rear, I think. Glad you enjoyed Mom. I had a great day, too. I'll post my results tomorrow!

    Back on that treadmill. I call it my hamster wheel.
