Trim for Turkey Day October page!

No change for me this week but STILL happy about 158.4!!

Have a great day everyone!!

Up .4 this week. So I am ok with that number especially since I was out of town for 10 days and didn't eat that great or workout. I hope everyone else had a good week. Only 4 weeks till Thanksgiving. 5.2 pounds left to lose!

TD GOAL -148

I'm down 0.4 of a pound to 195.6 (yesterday was 195.2!!), and I'll take it! My revised goal for Thanksgiving is 192. We'll see!

Oops, forgot to check in. So busy lately!
Still stuck at 170!

Any suggestions? I'm working out 5 x 50 min a week (circuit and jogging). I'm drinking water and keeping to my calories. I just changed MFP setting to 2 lbs a week (although it only lets me go to 1.5 lbs a week really). How can I amp things up for the next two weeks (or is it not realistic?)?

Keep your eating the most nutritious possible (no sugar, junk food, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners. processed food) , log every bite you eat, look for every possible opportunity to burn calories, and keep your stress level low.

Good luck, I know you'll look fabulous. :bigsmile:

:sad: :sad: :sad: I GAVE INTO ALL THE HALLOWEEN TREATS, DRINKS AND FOOD.... O BOY!!! i hope working hard this week burns off all those calories i ate yesterday!!!

It is a new week. I try really hard not to beat myself up when this happens and immediately start thinking forward. Otherwise, I can get into a 'shame spiral.' Oh, and I've had some legendary shame spirals :laugh:

How is everyone else doing? Just a few weeks until TD!

I did great over the weekend with the exercising: I burned 670 calories running/walking about 4 miles on Sat and I did 45 minutes of pilates on Sun (I was too sore from the running to do any cardio on Sun) but the eating wasn't the best :blushing:

I made some chili and eat about 1 cup of it on the first night (good) but then made it into a nacho/dip on the second night with chips and sour cream! It was really good but that was over 400 calories and I already had lunch and I didn't cut back on dinner and I had a small dessert! :blushing:

On the good news: I had to wear a belt with my regular pair of jeans on Sat and my hubbie said my stomach is getting smaller AND a co worker stopped me this morning to ask if I've been losing weight! It's so awesome when someone notices!!!

I'm with TAMMIETIFANIE, I would love to continue with this group for a Christmas goal. This group is the most accountable group I am a part of it! The others are good but I really appreciate the support and openness of this group! With you guys, I know I will lose the rest of my 13 lbs!!!

I hope everyone had a good Halloween. I did not do to well with eating or exercising for the last couple of days and I know the scale is sure to show on Thursday. I would love to keep up with the challenge through Christmas. It's so hard to keep up the motivation through the holidays.

I say we Make a goal to be 10lbs less by 2010 and on Jan 1st we weigh in and celebrate how far we have all come.. Jan 1st is my sons birthday and he turns 10 so i want to lose 10 lbs by 2010 and by the time my son turns 10.... WHO'S WANT TO JOIN ME!!!!!

I think we should keep going with different challenge to help us get to a 10 lbs lost by jan 1 and yes without the weigh ins i wouldn't be able to make it.... i need to do my weigh ins :bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I like the weekly weigh in and the challenges.......I'm still floundering with the crunches but I'm glad to be doing them. The water seems to be natural to me and not so much of a challenge. I don't remember what our other challenges were.

Maybe we could start a new challenge on Thursday when we weigh in. :laugh:

I wasn't sure if anyone else besides my self deals with going over their sugar intake due to sweets so i was thinking if others have the same issue maybe we can do a challenge where you don't eat any sugar for three days out of the week unless it's natural sugar from fruits and veggies but no processes sugars at all for three days.. Just a thought..


I really don't wanna weigh in tomorrow i haven't been eating healthy at all and i know it's going to show!!! Im drinking plenty of water today and working out hoping for a good number on the scale tomorrow

I am sure you will do fine at the weigh in. Try to be positive. :bigsmile: I am nervous though too. :ohwell: I wish I would hurry up and get into the 140's it's driving me crazy but I know it's my own fault that I am not there yet. I think weekends are the worst for me. About the no sugar sounds like a good idea to me. I'm always over on my sugar. I think for me it would be easier to do no sweets for a week though. I'm not to picky though what's everyone else thinking?

-1 lb. Not very dramatic, as I had hoped, but I have TOM and it is a steady weight loss. 3 weeks left and 5 lbs to my goal weight. I doubt I'll make it, but I still hope to get close. Bummer. I really wanted to make this goal.

Good luck everyone!
