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:)

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!

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!!!

@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!

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.

The November Week 5 Group Challenge is open and ready to begin tomorrow, Sunday, November 27th! Join us as we spend a little time taking care of ourselves with Self-Care Bingo and prepare for a fun holiday season (which usually contains a little stress). Enjoy!

At least it’s a tiny step in the right direction.

Im not bragging but my Fitbit said i got 150 active minutes during church service this morning.

@Tamevv Maintaining is definitely worthwhile this time of year, it's not an easy one to lose weight or even maintain during this time. I'm going to try and do the same as you I think! And I'm still doing my side sit-ups btw, thank you for the inspiration.

Ftofit Glad you didn't have much of a gain after the last week. Sounds like you've figured out what works best for you, I agree about the scale not always telling the whole story.

@trooworld I absolutely love Daisy's outfit! Have a wonderful time at the zoo!

@Vegan4lyfe2012 @laurelfit57 @davidji82 Way to go awesome losers! I always feel a little bad saying losers but you all know what I mean! You're winners to us!

@19shmoo69 Woohoo, that's some serious worshipping! Or you did a lot of standing in kneeling during the service! I remember complaining when I was little going to a Catholic church that every time you get comfortable you have to change positions and kneel or stand. Of course it was easier then than it would be now!

@askewcr I'm glad you went away for a holiday, so glad to hear your husband is getting better.

Hi team, hope everyone had a great holiday! I've eaten more than I have in awhile with first going out for a sundae, then Thanksgiving, then Bill was here and we didn't eat the best but it was fun and I don't regret anything. I have an OB/GYN appointment tomorrow so I may have regrets after being weighed! I'm not feeling the best after the way I've been eating, I'm looking forward to how I'm going to feel after a day of eating healthy again. I got a cute rosemary tree as a mini Christmas tree, I'd read pines aren't good for cats and Asher eats leaves before hairballs so I didn't want to risk anything. I have a bunch of rosemary bushes though they're supposed to be replaced every 7 years or so and they're about 20 years old so perhaps I'll replace it with this one. We did a yoga challenge the last 5 days, it was pretty fun plus Bill just joined MFP so now he has a challenge under his belt, he was a good sport. OK gang, have a wonderful Monday, let's do this!

Hey y'all!

I got real busy yesterday and was super tired last night. I packed up everything on my bookshelves, sofa table, etc.... moved everything that I could move and dusted & vacuumed. Helped hubby get Christmas decor., down from the attic. Now, I'm getting ready to decorate. Book shelves are almost done, then I'll start the village. It usually takes about a week for me to get everything done.

Y'all have a good one!!

@trooworld - Daisy's outfit is adorable.

@Tamevv - Well? Did you do the side crunches? Is the chocolate out of sight? I'm sitting on the couch and quite sleepy. Stayed up late to watch the Packers lose, and now it's time to start the work week. I have to put in OT from now until further notice and everyone is grumpy about it, so not looking forward to it. Would like to sit here and doze a bit. Ask me if I got up and did my exercise.
