Hey everyone! I just realized that there are exactly 5 weeks until Thanksgiving. I want to try and lose 10 lbs by the time I sit down for a big Turkey dinner, which is exactly 2lbs/week until then.
We can weight in every Thursday morning, starting today if you already have (or tomorrow if you didn't weigh in today!).
Anyone with me!?!

I'm in too! I regularly weigh in on Thursdays anyway, so that works out good. I have also been at a stand still for a little while.. maybe this is the push I need, I sure hope so!

Hey everyone! I hope your weeks are off to a great start. We have 3 more days till our first of 5 Thursday weigh ins! Let's work hard and see a two pound loss!0

This is day # 4 for me. I have met my daily goals, with except for going over the recommendation for carbs and proteins twice in the past 4 days. I find it hard to limit myself to 1200 to 1400 calories @ day. I am eating air popped popcorn and baby carrots mostly as a snack. Does anyone have any suggestions on filling and low everything snacks?
I can't wait till Thursday weight in I hope for a big number!0 -

My go-to snack is half of an apple w/a few raw almonds. Its pretty light on the calories depending upon how many almonds you eat, and the apple gives you energy while the almonds keep you satisfied!0 -
OK sw 225
by turkey day goal 2250 -
nicole_a and McFatterton thanks for the snacks suggestions. Yesterday apples saved the day!
I am looking forward to the weight in tomorrow. I have not exceeded the suggested calories intake this all week! As for exercising, i wish I would like it more! However I have been walking 5 times @ week and doing my back stretching and core strengthening exercises also 5 @ per week.
Good luck with the weight in tomorrow!0 -
Weigh in tomorrow morning if possible guys! Post your results here, even if it isn't the whole 2 pounds, we still have 4 weeks to go!0

Hey all! I just weighed in and the results are as follows:
10 by TD SW: 186
Thanksgiving goal: 176
CW: 184.5
1.5 lbs lost this week!
Pounds to lose in next 4 weeks: 8.5
I didn't lose the goal of 2, but I'll take 1.5 any day! This past weekend I wasn't as strict as I should have been with my diet. I think I'll be able to pull it together this week and have a bigger number (goal: 2.5) @ next Thursday's weigh in.
Good luck everyone!0 -
