    plus it would take me about 30 minutes to weigh out one plate of my meal as I tend to load up ...

    I'm going to try to get a killer work out in in the AM. Then I'm going to eat my weight in Thanksgiving food. Then I'll go for a walk. Then I'll eat my weight in pie. Then I"ll take a nap. And kill it again on Friday. Thanksgiving is my favorite.

    Logging, but not limiting.

    Neither. I can't be bothered on holidays. One day will not derail my progress.

    Let's be honest. I will not log probably for most of the weekend. MFP will still be here on Monday when the holidays are over.

    Calories. I plan on doing a nice long run in the morning so I'll have plenty in the bank. But also agree with RushBabe_214.

    Although having read all of this, maybe I will?

    I probably won't log into MFP but I am going to limit myself and try not to over-indulge but I will still have a little bit of dessert and what not.

    I don't think I'm tracking mostly because no one in my family is actually going to be *making* food because everyone is busy. So one day isn't going to kill me, especially if I'm going straight back to myfitnesspal on Friday, so...

    I would so do that, but having been ill since Thursday now I'm not sure it would be wise. Stupid malfunctioning intestines. :cry:

    I did, just so I knew what I had consumed.

    I would like to log but I'm invited (not wanting to look over the hostess' shoulder and quiz her about her cooking) and could only guess at the ingredients and measures anyway, so I'll just try to eat a not-too-huge portion and call it a day. :smile:

    I'm trying to figure out my plan of action for Thanksgiving. Fortunately, I am off this week so I have an opportunity to work out twice tomorrow and Wednesday, to prepare for the big day! I don't think I'm going to stress myself out counting the calories. I already know I'm going to overeat. I'm going to try to be very strict with healthy eating the next few days. No extra snacking. Hopefully the extra exercise and healthy choices leading up to Thanksgiving, will balance the week out in the end for me. Happy Holidays!

    I'm definitely in for the 6000 challenge!

    unfortunately, I won't be able to log; my sister has this "no cell phones at the table" rule, so I'm just going to have to give it my all, and hope for the best.

    Are we talking 6000 calories just for Thanksgiving dinner? Or for the whole day?
