    @19shmoo69 - thank you for making me laugh out loud!!! I needed that in this moment!!!

    @19shmoo69 That is to funny, love it 😂😂

    Hey y'all! I've been a very busy gal today, and tomorrow most of my family will be here. It's gonna be crazy & chaotic and I can't wait. I've seen a couple of you wishing your "American" friends a happy holiday. That has really peaked my interest. Where is everyone from? I'm was born in Bremerton, Wa but, I'm a military brat so, I have spent time in a lot of southern states. When I was 16, I made my way back to Bremerton, Wa and I've been here ever since. I'm 57 now.

    Thanksgiving Challenge:
    1) 10,000 steps everyday ✔️
    2) Track my food everyday ✔️ (except Thanksgiving day)

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL 🦃🦃


    Day 23, I'm thankful for all of you 🙂

    @Katmary71 Right! Oh gosh, I'm sorry about the incident in the restaurant. That must have been awful. That's nice that Bill was able to get off early. I left work early, too, I was supposed to get off at 11:30 but I left at 10:30 because I was feeling anxious about all the prep for today. Happy Thanksgiving!

    @shaunarlr83 You too! Hugs!

    @19shmoo69 HAHAHA!

    @DrewsAnna I'm from Southern California. Actually, originally from Ohio but have been out here since 1994/5. Have a great chaotic fun day today! :)

    Hi all. Again, Happy Thanksgiving! My husband and I did most of the prep work yesterday so we have very little to do today to get ready, just bake some things we prepped yesterday as well as bake the turkey. Have a great day!

    Thanksgiving Challenge (11/4-11/24) Goals:
    - track 90% of what I eat ❌
    - drink 50 oz of water each day ✅

    I’m in (Northern) Virginia, getting ready for a very low key, no frills Thanksgiving, with only the 4 foods the 3 of us voted for 😂😂

    Happy Thanksgiving (or Thursday) to all!

    ETA- @vegan4lyfe2012 - in the name of my state I apologize for the + in the 12h+ drive, which is always our I95 (think of 10 teenagers on TOM in the same room).

    Hello my friends, once again a quick check in. I am tracking this week and have been staying on course. Definitely not on track as far as activity goes. This cold is definitely lingering. Any physical exertion and it sends me into fits of coughing, even talking too much will get me coughing. Today was a better day though and i have high hopes for tomorrow:). Many people have told me that this cough lingers for 4-6 weeks, it’s going around. My daughter and son in law are moving this weekend, so i will have my grandkids for the full weekend, I’m looking forward to it! They haven’t been here in a month, due to illnesses, things are looking up:)

    I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! I'm beat and my feet hurt so bad the pain is going all the way up my legs. Totally worth it though. I was surrounded by all my kids and a few that have called me "Mom" for years. All of my grand beauty's were here. It was loud, crazy and a bit chaotic and so much fun.

    Day 24, I'm so very thankful for my family more than they will ever know.

    Hi!

    I've been floundering a bit- not sticking to the habits that make me successful. Christmas is exactly a month away and I am determined not to procrastinate getting back to good habits. I want to make this time count!

    @GabiV125 Nice and simple! I like that!

    @laurelfit57 Oh gosh, I'm sorry that cold is still lingering. :( I still have my cough from my flu or cold, too, and it's been 3 weeks. Have fun with the grandkiddos!

    @DrewsAnna That sounds like a lot of love and a lot of fun! I'm glad it went well.

    @davidji82 Hi. I congratulate you on a loss on the day after Thanksgiving. I don't know how people that lose after the big day do it. Of course, maybe you aren't in the US or don't celebrate. Either way, congrats!

    @Cornanda I, too, had a gain (a very large one though). I'm also jelly of those losers! :D I also have to buckle down or I'm going to slide into a very bad place.

    Hi all. I had a great day yesterday. I didn't have a second plate of that delicious food but we brought leftovers home for about 2 meals if I don't give some of it away. I had a huge gain this week but I think it's mostly Thanksgiving fluff as @Cornanda says. Enjoy your Friday and if you shop on Black Friday, good luck!

    I can no longer not do anything. I ve had enough of being stagnant. I stumbled across some free plan advice. it's supposed to be customized for me. I read it and it's not customized. I went over all of my notes through the years and it may not be pro but it's definitely SHMOO!!!

    Great job placing 2nd last week!! I'm still stalled but I've slacked the past week. Nothing crazy at all but just said 'eff it' till Sunday. It is super frustrating but kinda letting it fall back has let me enjoy these few days.

    We did our big meal today and tomorrow is the Ohio State be game so they'll be leftovers and snacks.

    @shaunarlr83 Happy Thanksgiving, hope you had a great time with your family!

    @DrewsAnna I'm in the Sacramento area, CA. Love the Thanksgiving poem! I always say after family things I'm physically exhausted but my heart and soul are filled with love from being with them. I feel the same about my family, I'd be lost without them.

    @laurelfit57 That cold is being stubborm about leaving you! Enjoy the grandkids!

    @Cornanda You can do this, maybe it's time to start thinking of the next challenge with some doable goals?

    @trooworld Glad you had a wonderful day!

    @19shmoo69 What are you up to next?

    @bethanie0825 So Monday it's on? You got this, enjoy your weekend then let's make our next month amazing!

    Hi team, had a great Thanksgiving with my family and Bill, he survived hanging out with all of us and meeting the folks. I didn't have seconds either, fun to hear how we're all getting better with time at this! I woke up today with a cold and went back to bed after having coffee but did do a short workout plus we're doing a yoga challenge while Bill's here and we did that while dinner was cooking. Feeling better than this morning thank goodness! Have a great Saturday team!

    Hi everyone, pretty okay with staying the same this week. In my mind I have sort of backed off a little - after hitting my first goal I’ve felt a bit like just seeing if I could maintain it I guess. Of course i’d like to keep losing, but have also started thinking about how to realistically manage myself over the holiday period. While my overarching goal is to continue losing weight, I think I will be satisfied if I can maintain below the 75kg mark until Feb 1st. I’m assuming there will be some weeks in this window that I gain but if I can alternate them with losses, I’m thinking my overall should more or less hold steady.

    There is more to be said on what’s going on in my mind lately but that’s all time will allow for now. Apologies for not being more active. Hope everyone is having a great time 😊

    It was a stressful week at work .i feel so dizzy and lightheaded .i ate so much junk food .i was hoping a gain of 2-3 lbs .feel grateful for only 0.6lb.
    i have seen one thing in weight loss process sometimes we work really hard ,exercised,made good food choices then the scale shows gain ,this happened to me some months ago and i was so frustated that i thought what is the benefit of doing all this hard work .i should eat whatever i want .i was craving for spicy deep fried snacks and binge watching my favourite series instead of exercising.the next time i checked my weight the result was i gained more lbs.i joined this group that time then i know about it happens with everyone sometimes you lose sometimes you gains .the scale dont always shows the right result.So i dont pay attention to what the number is on the scale and keep focusing on the right choices i could make to lose weight and be a healthy person.i give treats to myself once-twice in a week and eat whatever i want but in small portions and a lazy day with no extra exercise only household works.

    @davors19 Bravo for a loss after Thanksgiving! Well done!

    @19shmoo69 Hugs, Darren. You can do this! We are here to support you, so please speak up if you need some help/advice/support! You've got this.

    @Katmary71 Thank you, yes it was! I'm glad you had a good day, too. I'm sorry you have a cold. I'm glad you are feeling better.

    @Tamevv Staying the same is practice for maintenance, so that's not bad!

    @Ftofit Sorry about your stressful week. That's great you were anticipating a big gain but only had a small one. That's really frustrating when you do all the right things and then a gain.

    Hi all. I had a pretty lazy day yesterday, I got groceries and came home and crafted and then decorated some for Christmas. I bought Daisy this dress. Have a great Saturday!

    I'm so sorry I didn't weigh in yesterday. We went on a little get away to Florida for the holiday and I completely forgot about it. Hubby is still on the mend but not 100 percent. Hope everyone had an awesome Thanksgiving. Blessings!!

    PS.. I will get on that scale next week for I'm afraid I ate like I was on vacation. B)
