CC Thanksgiving Challenge

KDM322 · 11-25-2009, 12:08 AM

Well, I had a gain this week. Up back up to 193.0, but don't know why. I'm wondering if my 191 was water weight or something because ever since last monday I've slowly crept back up...but it's been 193 for 3 days now. The only day I went over my calories was Thursday night when I had popcorn while watching New Moon at 1AM! lol I've ridden my recumbent bike anywhere from 5-15miles PER DAY (AM ride & PM ride)...so I dunno...I was really hoping to actually meet my goal of 189...doesn't look like it's gonna happen in the next 2 days! oh well...I'll get there eventually...

CONGRATS to all you losers!!

Ok on 11-14 when I picked my goal, I did not realize I would get TOM 2 days before Thanksgiving. GRRRR. I was 176.0 on that day. So I will have to make 174. Since I am only 175 right now, I think I can make it, but I might not see the weight drop until after Thanksgiving! Go figure.

Well, I didn't meet my goal AGAIN! But atleast the scale is moving back in the right direction LoL...as today was official weigh in for the challenge....I'm at 191.0...back to where I was last week...if I would've lost the 2lbs I did this week last week, then I woulda met my goal!! BLAH! OH well! Maybe I can reach goal by the time I go home to WV on 12/9...2lbs in 2wks - DOABLE ...it would be really nice for my mom to notice a 10-15lbs loss since she saw me last

I think I want to make a New Year's goal to be 185.......not too agressive so maybe I can actually meet one goal I set! haha OH WAIT, I met my November Exercise Goal of atleast 3x/week...I've actually been doin 4-6x per week SO THAT'S A PLUS!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and didn't overstuff yourselves with turkey!!!

I'm having TOM right now so I don't know if I dropped that last pound I needed or not to reach this goal. I think I did, but won't know for sure until Sunday. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

I weighed in this morning at 189 again. Considering I have been away and eating out for the past two weekends, I'm just happy that it wasn't up any! Tomorrow morning might be a different story though

LOL

didn't make my thanksgiving goal...didn't even budge a single pound. I definitely ate too much today but I'm okay with it.

Hi. Just a quick question for someone to answer. Will you be starting a new challenge now that Thanksgiving is over? Thanks.

emileigh · 11-27-2009, 10:39 AM

I am thankful for this challenge because it gave me something to work toward before Thanksgiving. It was a small goal but I reached it

This morning after one day off plan the scale is up a pound.

Now I am right back on plan and I am giving myself three days of dieting to get back to where I was. It is a sobering thought to realize how much ground has to be made up after even a one-day break from my normal diet plan.

Still I am not complaining. I planned to allow myself this indulgence so now I will just plan to get back on track. I heard the author of "Eat This, Not That" say that the average weight gain during the holiday season is 6 pounds! I don't know if that is true or not. But now I am seriously considering my next goal. Will I just try to maintain the weight I was before I started, or will I try to actually lose weight over the holidays?

If the 6 pounds average gain is true, then it would be an accomplishment to just break even, wouldn't it?

I am hoping that everyone on the challenge will post to let us know how you did over Thanksgiving and what your plans are now.

I'm just happy to be at 200.5 pounds today. I do so want to be in Onederland by the end of the year!
Congratulations to those who lost this month. To those who stayed the same or gained, love yourselves and keep trying.

Well I weighed in at 172.4 on Thanksgiving morning, so I only was up .2 since my weigh in the week before. Now I know I gained some water weight from thanksgiving food the past 2 days, so I'm going to eat good today and tomorrow and drink plenty of water and hopefully I'll be back to my original weight for the week. Se ya'll in the Christmas Challenge!

heidiruth · 11-30-2009, 11:52 PM
