Oh...but I am doing a turkey trot in the morning to help balance those calories. Maybe you can go for a walk or fit a quick workout in.

The thing that works best for me is to calculate how many calories I would be eating. Always surprised to see how many calories are in some of my favorites! Good Luck tomorrow! I will be in the same boat as you!

Enjoy the two minutes brought to you from Ohio! :)

This is the best suggestion yet! LOL Meet me at my mom's at 1:00. :)

I truly am sorry. I don't know how this thread got so out of control. This is suppose to be the Motivation and Support thread....not the Bash and Bruise one. I am actually jealous of you that you have a family that supports you enough to not mind at all if you eat a Lean Cuisine or the entire turkey! That is the whole…

Sorry I can not comment on everyone's post but I do appreciate all of the wonderful advise! I am going to read through all of them this evening...throw the negative ones out...and take everything else that everyone said to heart. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT! Happy Thanksgiving!!
-
Well said! Thank you!
-
For those of you that offered constructive advice or left me personal messages...thank you! I really appreciate it! Hoping everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!
-
Another great point...maybe even having the conversation is a bad idea. And I couldn't agree more that it is a pact I've made with my body. Just worried about hurting my mom's feelings.
-
Don't leave me in suspense! :)

I am not ignoring everyone. I just haven't been at my computer to respond. There has been some wonderful advice on here. Especially being more concerned about what you eat from Christmas to Thanksgiving. I really appreciate everyone's feedback because this is a real issue for me. I certainly don't think that one day will…

This is exactly what I told my husband I was going to do!! Just put it on my plate and toss it when no one is looking! LOL I think our mother's do talk! Every Christmas I get a big box of chocolate that I just let the kids poke their fingers in (which half the fun is seeing what is in the inside!) and then we toss them. I…

This is great advice. Thanks! I do need to come up with a standard response so that I don't have to over thinking it and possibly say something to hurt her feelings.
-
You bring up a great point about eating and talking. I need to make sure that I am not hanging out around the kitchen table on Thanksgiving.

You are off to a great start! You are going to love this site! YOU. CAN. DO. THIS!!!

I'm an Ohio Person!! suburb outside of Cleveland. Grew up on the westside...now live on the eastside.

pictures of myself...absolutely was this. In my mind, I am a lot cuter and smaller than what I look like in pictures! lol It was a real eye opener.
-
Slightly off topic...I just love your profile pic!

A bagel with cream cheese is over 400 calories. YOU DONT NEED THEM! You have worked so hard. Why waste it on a bagel?
-
Me, too! You can totally add me. But consider yourself warned....I read diaries!! And comment!! :)

Bump!!

I know this is what we have always been told but I have been reading a lot on this that says otherwise. I don't think it matters when you eat your calories. Of course there are all other issues with eating late like not being able to sleep or not having the right amount of energy during the day. But for weight loss, I read…
-
The first few weeks are the hardest. YOU CAN DO THIS! Just reach down deep and think about why you wanted to lose weight in the first place. Write it down and read it often. What put me over the edge and wanted me to make a change was that someone took a picture of me and I was shocked to see what I looked like. It was an…

Request sent!! And Support you will get! We can do this!!!

Request sent! But I am warning you...I check diaries!! ;)

I have totally felt nauseous after an intense workout and felt "off" all day long. It helped me to eat about 30-45 minutes something small and not exercise on an empty stomach.
-
Mine really doesn't do anything. He has never complained about my weight gain nor has he made a big deal about me trying to get in shape. At first this made me sad when I thought about the lack of encouragement. But then I realized that I haven't been supporting him either. I do make healthy meals for us but I never…

Yay! Love new (and old) friends!! Thanks everyone for your friend requests!
