    thanksgiving 186

    I know that is not much to lose but I want to lose it slow like i have been so I don't gain it back

    I think I made it!!!!! I used the scales here at work and they say 186!!!! I don't usually go by this scale, I use the one at the dr. I don't see him till next week and I think these scales are very close to the dr's.

    I made it with 3 days to spare but I will keep looking at the scale till Turkey day!!!!

    Hi everyone!

    Sorry i've been MIA for a week. last week, on monday, i found out that i was not only laid off from my job, but that my dad has cancer. so, needless to say i took last week "off". did ok mon. thru thurs. but then fri, sat, sun i went WAY overboard. i ate too much, drank like a fish, and didn't exercise. as of sat. i didn't gain anything. but then this morning that darn scale said i gained 5lbs. so i'm guessing (hoping) it's a little water weight from all the beer and salt.

    But i'm glad to say that today is a new day, new week, whatever and i'm excited to get back on the wagon. i think i really needed a break, especially since i haven't lost anything. that gets frustrating when you work out so hard and don't lose anything for months. but i think it had to do w/ my cal. intake...i upped it, hoping that that will change things.

    So my thanksgiving challenge was a bust, not for the effort of trying, but i soooo ready for the xmas challenge! I can't wait.

    Congrats to everyone that made or is even close to their goal! Way to keep with it!

    WHOA-OKAY!


    OMGosh!!! So, I know I didn't make my goal (lbs-wise) lol. BUT!

    I dropped a pants size!!! Since I started a weight training class about a month ago, I'm assuming the weight didn't come off but uhm...re-proportioned itself!

    WHOO!

    I just got a pair of pants that are a size EIGHT!!!!!!!!!

    That is so great congratulations! I know you were kind of doubtful about making it but if I remember correctly it was 146 your goal and you surpassed that. You are doing so good keep up the hard work. I am gonna weigh in on Thursday morning to see if I made it or not. I don't think I am quite there. I looked back though to when I started the challenge and my goal was 143 so that was 10lbs. So far since I started the challenge I am down 7lbs so even if I don't make it to 10lbs by Thursday I am actually very proud of myself so far. I'm sorry to hear your not feeling well I hope you get better. Did you join the Christmas Challenge? It's called Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge.

    Tomorrow's the BIG DAY!

    Okay, so my original goal was to lose 11 lbs to hit 162 by Turkey day. Sadly, this did not happen as planned. BUT! I did hit 169 (the last time I was in the 160's was about 5 years ago OR MORE)... AND I dropped a pants size to hit a size 8 :noway: (the last time I was a size 8 was in 8th grade. Literally.)

    SO. I'm realizing that at this stage in my weight loss I need to have more realistic (slower) goals. For the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge I am going to try to hit 165 by Christmas, maintain it through New Year's, and set the last 10 lbs as my New Year's Resolution!

    New Long Term Goal: Be Beach Body-licious by June 1, so that I can feel comfortable in a bikini for the first time since I was 12! :laugh:

    Good Job everybody! Keep up the good work!
    :heart: ,

    I'm in! My parents will be sooo surprised!:wink:

    That would put me almost at my first goal weight... "the high-end of normal weight".

    Height: 5'2"
    Start weight: 156.3
    Thanksgiving goal 138ish
    Mid Goal is 135
    Ultimate goal is: 125
    :brokenheart: I didn't make my goal I thought I'd be about 138 realistically (but hoped for 135) This morning I weigh 140 even.:brokenheart:

    I,too, have been mia. Too much going on, but all good things. laurabelle, I am so sorry to hear about all your bad news. No wonder you were mia. I hope all improves for you and your dad.
    This is the first time I've logged onto mfp in days so I need to find out if anyone started a Chrtistmas challenge. Needless to say, after the reckless abandon of the past several days, I need help. I did not make my Thanksgiving challenge and didn't even bother to get on the scale. I had come close and then my youngest son came home from college and all willpower went out the window.
    Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, and hope to see you all on a Christmas challenge.
