What is your goal to reach before Thanksgiving?? I know it's only three weeks away, but I am hoping to lose 5lbs before then!

Also, I would like to have major self control this Thanksgiving and not pig out like I usually do.

    I will take what I can get!! Although, I look forward to enjoying Thanksgiving grub!! It's when the sun goes away I start to feel down & eat more. Best of luck with your goals!!

    I love it when people post their goals on MFP. It helps get me motivated. I'm going to aim for 5lbs as well. Happy Thanksgiving all.

    My true goal is to be faithful to "write what I bite" and to make wiser choices about what I bite.. I have a long way to go and I know I will only get there by being faithful and making right choices. It would be wonderful to lose 8 pounds by Thanksgiving...

    I've put on a few pounds over the last couple of weeks and would like to take them off. I always start Thanksgiving with a 10K run (turkey trot), so that usually keeps me from going over. :smile:

    I just started my "Thanksgiving Challenge" today with the help of a friend. My goal is to lose as much as I can. I will be seeing my boyfriends family for the first time since I started to lose weight and want to look even better! I just started exercising this morning too so I am hoping to see a good weight loss. Keep your fingers crossed.

    I wouldn't mind dropping another 5lbs too. But I am training to run a 1/2 marathon in Jan, Right now I'm up to about 6 miles, so I'd like to get up to 8 miles by Thanksgiving!

    I love the phrase "write what I bite". I have a BA in English and this was a nice little phrase to read today, so thank you.

    Now as far as what my goal is to reach by Thanksgiving... I too would like to lose about 5 pounds. Hoping for 6 but I will take 5.

    I'm trying to drop below 150 by then. I'm at 151.6 so it should be doable, but I've only been losing about 1 lb a month for the past few months so I guess I'm going to have to kick it up a notch to meet it. Especially after this past weekend. I haven't weighed but I probably put a pound back on.

    My goals to reach before thanksgiving.
    1. Do not steal kids candy of of candy boxes. I do not need or even really want it exept late at night.
    2. Stay dedicated to my workout schedule - No sleeping in!!!! when I should be working out
    3. Loose 4 or 5 pounds. This will put me around 155. Even with normal weight fluxes I will never see 160 again.

    Really needed this today because I got up got ready to work out, actually started and then decided not to and went back to bed. How terrible is that.

    Will not happen again tomorrow.

    I'm currently 165 as of today.

    Would be amazing to be around 162 lbs, so I guess 3 lbs by Thanksgiving? Do-able!

    I have the exact same goals!!! My family always makes an amazing Thanksgiving meal. With soooo much food. It is next to impossible to stay "healthy" but this year I am going to take control and see how well I can do. Also down by five pounds would be amazing. I would finally get under 120 after fighting it for the past year and be that much closer to my goal!!!!

    I would like to loose 8 lbs, but in reality, I say 6 lbs. because I try to loose 2 lbs. a week. Here's wishing everyone success!

    I would really like to be under 200lbs by then, but i'm currently 207 and the scale isn't budging so I dunno if that's going to happen. My 25th birthday is the day before thanksgiving, i really want to reach this goal!
