Logging on thanksgiving?

Nope. I will exercise and skip the alcohol. Enough.

Not me. I'll be celebrating my 800th day on MFP (tomorrow) by not logging. I logged the last 2 Thanksgivings, overate anyway, and still lost weight a few days later. One day doesn't seem too important in the scheme of a lifestyle change that means you wake up the next morning and get back to business!

Enjoy the day!!!

I am, just for consistency and to build a long time habit, but it won't be accurate, more of a guesstimate....i'm okay with it...i'll take the doggies for an extra long walk and do some squats

I won't. Don't care lol, I'm enjoying myself

IF I log (and that's a big if, since I haven't logged consistently in a couple years now)...it will be ONLY to see how big of a number I can rack up over the course of 24 hours.

I'm not bringing the scales with me to the relative's house where I'll be eating, and I won't be breaking out the app during the day. I've been doing this long enough that I'm not likely to forget anything I eat, and I'm not too bad at eyeballing amounts. I'll probably just sit down at the end of the day, copy the meal from the last Thanksgiving or two, make any adjustments in amounts, add anything that was new or different this year (we tend to stick with traditions, so there shouldn't be much that wasn't on previous menus), and call it a day. I know there will be at least one casserole and homemade rolls that are in my MFP recipes, because I'm making them.

So, logging, but with a fair amount of estimating. I just like to have reasonable approximations in my records for recalculating my TDEE from time to time, and so that small weight gains don't throw me for a loop. (Me, to myself at next Saturday's weigh in: "Ouch, up two pounds! Well, you did go for nearly 3,500 calories on Turkey Day, and you were at maintenance two or three other days. Probably between a quarter and half pound of that is glycogen and fat, the rest is water. Soldier on, girl."

Why would you be doing logging on thanksgiving? It's painful and no way to celebrate, and all work facilities, including lumbering companies, should be closed.

With everyone bringing food there is no way to know what is in anything so logging, for me, is pointless. But, after a few years at this, I am used to rolling with the punches and enjoying a day without it being an issue. I'll have a little of everything I like and enjoy some dessert and call it a day. We have a couple hours car ride home afterwards so I really don't want to be stuffed the whole way back. I won't be bringing home leftovers though as I don't really want several days of "I have no idea what the hell is in this" eating. Well, maybe if there's pecan pie...

Pre-logged. Hubby is cooking for the two of us.

I'm logging, mostly because I'm curious about what's going to happen.

I will pre log, here goes - 10,000 calories. Think I'm being too conservative? I can only hope that I can get that much in me. It's a Holiday for Heaven's sake. Enjoy and feast! You may gain 3-5 lbs of food weight but probably less than a lb of fat weight. 3 days from now, you will be back where you were (unless you keep feasting) IMHO.

My Thanksgiving is just about over (I have pre-logged my desserts), and I ended up staying below maintenance. I consumed around 1450 calories for the day, with about 630 allocated to dinner. I'm disappointed in myself -I used to be able to eat 2,700 calories in one meal, and I was starting to feel satisfied after maybe 150-200 calories of food (I probably had close to 3.5-4 cups of different cooked vegetables).

What I don't understand was my grandmother telling me "don't stuff myself." Woman, I just took insulin for all the food on my plate, and I have a ton of banked calories from my basal testing (fasting) days this week. Did I eat past my fullness signals? Yup (I was starting to feel satisfied 6-7 bites in, but I was locked into eating the food because of my insulin). Do I feel bloated and stuffed? Nope.

On the bright side, I have a big container of leftover turkey breast calling my name for the next few days.

I ate about all I could stand and hit about 3000 calories which is right about maintenance for me at my current weight. Now I want a lower weight but today isn't a big deal. Tomorrow is what I need to focus on to avoid any gain.

we don't have thanksgiving here . But I shall attempt to pre-log on Christmas day. I'm not sure why though, as I will be so far off the mark that logging would be pretty pointless! At least it'll keep my streak going.

I log faithfully everyday and don't plan on stopping because of a holiday. I do not plan on back sliding. If II know I am going to be over on the holiday, I would like a rough ideas of how bad. I actually am pretty proud of myself today. Went a little over but not overboard and even factored in dessert!!
