I'm starting the E-Z Thanksgiving challenge. Goal? 29 Days of being on-plan with your calories. A goal, not a requirement. Let's see how many on-plan days we can achieve leading up to Thanksgiving. Our consistency will be rewarded with feeling great about staying on-plan and maybe even the scale will come along with us too!

Weigh Day will be on Wednesdays staring on 10/23 for those who want to share their weight loss. Feel free to share the loss amount lost each week.

Feel free to copy/paste and use it to give your updates. See, told ya it would be easy!

    Okay, I'm in. I am in an October challenge and a Christmas challenge, so this will serve to motivate me through November.
    Now all of a sudden this brings to mind the age-old debate...gross or net calories?:noway: I just need to decide which one... it doesn't really matter I suppose. Have a great first week everyone!


    10/26: Kickoff! 74kg

    I need to re-boot my weight loss! I had been steadily losing, took a couple months off and had been fluctuating between 3lbs (173-176), but now, the scale won't go below the middle of that (174.5)! I was 173.6 mid/end of August. I weigh every day to see fluctuations, but will officially weigh-in with you guys!


    10/26: Kickoff! 176.6

    Comment: First full week without DIET SODA! It's been water, coffee, or tea only this week. Trying to change one habit a week. Next week it's logging in actual foods vs a generic calorie count.

    I made myself a goal to stay under my original calorie suggestion of 1450, regardless of exercises I do to increase that intake... My days on-plan will have 2 numbers: the first is # of days I stayed under original calorie goal; the second is # of days I stayed under calorie goal after exercise (if that makes sense)

    Comment: Second week without soda...feel good about making that choice. Had a celebration weekend at work, so my Saturday night dive off-plan was quite a dive and too close to WI day. Oh well, will have to catch up next week.

    It was a crazy week - I tried to stay under my original calorie goal, but that didn't work every day. I noticed a slight gain yesterday, but hadn't been eating too well. This morning I was at 171.6 (I tend to fluctuate). Still less thn 176.6!
