*THANKSGIVING WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE*
Replies

I have not weighed in this week and think I have not lost anything but haven't gained. I will check in on Wednesday. I have been so sidetracked. I have not been exercising like I was initially when I signed on to this sight. My daughter was sick last week. I have got to get on it. Where does the motivation go?
Hey Nikki... unfortunately, it's very easy to get sidetracked. For me, I must keep my weight loss and health goals in the forefront of my thoughts constantly. Whenever life gets busy and hectic my thoughts get diverted away from myself. I'm a food addict, so if I'm not paying attention, I grab a cookie! I've also learned that it takes a lot more than motivation..... it takes commitment. No weight loss program will work if you aren't committed to it. When I first heard that statement, I literally took several days to think about what it meant to be committed. When I found my answer, my outlook changed. I've been far from the perfect 'dieter' since then, but I am still committed.0 -
Hello! I'm new and I really want to be involved in the challenge :happy:

Ugh. I missed Wednesday too. So sorry Jodie!
Start Weight 190
Goal Weight 150
Wednesday Weight 188 (I actually weigh in on Sundays so I'm good on the weekends)
Thanksgiving Weight loss goal 15 pounds.... 13 to go.
I haven't had a great week this week. How quickly I lose that newbie oomph!
Thanks for being out there all of you. I am determined to lose this weight because it actually hurts my feet to carry this much of me around and I feel so ugly. Eating even a little better I feel better about myself already.

Sorry I am 3 days late on posting my weight guys
my weight is 238.60 -
Sorry I'm late. It's been a week full of medical tests and reality checks for me. I realized I am pretty much a compulsive overeater. I acually admitted it to a doctor who is now working with me. Just weighed today and am down to 262.2. I'm just thrilled the scale moved..........guess it will when you actually stay on plan!

My current weight is 162.4! I've lost a few pounds. Yay for me! Hopefully I can keep it up!0

Ack thank you for reminding me! I have been having some scale issues. I had to return the WW basic scale I got from BBB yesterday. When I weighed in last week the scale gave me different weights every time I stepped on it ... grrrr. I got an old fashioned Analog scale.
I haven't lost any more weight ... stuck at 175. Hopefully this week will prove different!0 -
I totally forgot to put a post on Wed... I lost 2lbs since last week, current wt 198.2, almost to my sept goal.....0

okay- newbie here too
Start Weight: 285
Current Weight: 284 (official weigh-in until Tuesday)
Goal Weight for Thanksgiving: 2600 -
As an aside: I will also be getting another digital scale in addition to the analog one I bought (in order to find out the ounces I have lost if the case may be). At lest this way I have both as a proof source for me. That comes in on Tuesday so I will have it on Wednesday. I am going to change my weigh in's from Thursday to Wednesday for this challenge0

Hi all!
It's been kind of crazy here this past week. Besides getting the baby's room ready for him and rearranging the rooms upstairs, our refrigerator decided to go! So, food the past 3 or 4 days has not been the best as we have had to use up what we had and haven't bought any fresh foods. Got a new(er) one yesterday and I can't wait to get to the store for some fresh fruits and veggies!
I sure hope the foods from the past few days weren't too bad--there were quite a few things that the others buy that I don't normally eat. I kept portions in control but I am sure the sodium was sky-high! Lots and lots of water for me! (New fridge has water and ice in the door--should make the water part easier!)
Everyone seems to be doing well and not giving up. That's the key--to have a bad meal, day, or even a few days and still get right back to your healthy eating habits.
Have a wonderful day, everyone!0 -
I saw that you wanted us to post on Wednesdays, so disregard my post that I'll post on Fridays. I'll post Wednesday. I hope everyone has a great week and lots of losses!!!0
-
Here is my missed post for last wednesday; 157( i gained 0.8lbs). That was due to a few bad eating choices, however this week is much better and i will be posting this coming wednesday. Good luck to everyone and keep up the good work!!0

The weekend started out pretty good, yesterday there was a Zumba party on the downtown square with zumba instructors from the YMCA and 2 or 3 fitness centers in town. I zumba for about 2 hours so I had a great workout yesterday. Todat started out OK but it went down hill from there. First I had 5 Snickerdoodle cookies which I didn't realize that there was 120 calories per cookie so that was a 600 calorie snack. After I had the cookies I was invited out to a Japanese Steak House for lunch, I should have declined the invitation since I've already consumed 600 empty calories, but nope not me. There isn't to many things at a Japanese Steak House that's low cal. After I got through with lunch (yes I had the fried rice instead of steamed) I came home and figured out how many calories I did consume at the restaurant, well just let me say I'm 500+ over my calories for the day. Needless to say I shouldn't have dinner; however, I can't see I won't have something, maybe some rabbit food LOL. If I don't say any weight lost on Wed I'll know why. I hope everyone had a great weekend.0

So what are we down to. . .9 1/2 weeks until Thanksgiving?? That just seems too close - this year has flown by. Just wanted to let everyone know that I hope it has been a good week so far and weigh-in is looming just a few days away! Best of luck to you all!0
-
I missed weigh in last week, but I think the scale was off, it said I lost 7 pounds (!) I did not log that weight, because as much as I want it to be true, the mirror and jeans did not agree! It was just not possible, so I am going to see what this Wednesday has to say!0

Happy Monday Challengers!!!
Yep, only 9 1/2 weeks til Thanksgiving! I just love this time of year. So many beautiful colors everywhere!
@glasielady..... I absoluteley love Zumba!! When I go 'home' to western NY (two or three times a year) I go to the class at the Y there, but I dont like the class here where I live. I've tried the dvd's, but its so much more fun in person!

Got my new scale a day early so I am all set for Wednesday. I also told all MFP friends that I was changing my weigh in date lest they think I have become scale obsessed ...
Jodie ... we should also make a "day after Turkey day" weigh IN LOL0 -

Hi All!
I have had a challenging week socializing with customers nearly everyday and trying like mad not to go too overboard. I did manage to lose1lb despite eating and drinking out nightly. Thankfully, I am at home this week and able to control my meals. Now, I just have to get to the gym!

Man!!! I completely forgot to post last Wednesday. Long day at work probably. So I am making sure I did first thing in the morning. My starting weight was 235 but I didn't take it quite seriously. So my weight for last week was 243. Something about being in the 40's again didn't set right with me so I am taking this challenge very seriously now. My current weight for this week is 238.2. I have got to reach my goal!! Have a wonderful day all.
