Thanksgiving Challenge weekly chat, menu and exercise thread 10/24-10/30
Good morning ladies
Just thought I would do something a little different this week, maybe put the 2 threads together and add chat to it so we can keep each other supported and if you dont want too you dont have to post your food or exercise and still get some motivation off of one another and well just plain out vent if you need too (We need to do that from time to time)
So far so good today, but I did alot of overeating over the weekend, so I am really looking forward to a fresh start and hope to get this 1/2 pound off by Thursday night to hit status FINALLY We shall see....
B- 1 slice lite ww bread and 3 tbls gravy
L- turkey breast sandwich on 2 slices lite whole wheat bread and mustard
s- apple
S- not sure it is at the mother in laws
s- none unless starving
Exercise- riding the recumbant bike for 20 minutes and sit ups
5 more weeks to Thanksgiving ladies....WE CAN DO IT!!!!
I got on my bathroom scale this am, and it looks like I might have stayed the same or gained slightly. I stayed close to my calories all weekend, so maybe it's just a plateau. I may need some support if I did gain a little. I know I can't have a big loss every week, but it's hard to stay on -track. Weigh-in at TOPs tonight. Did you see the photo I posted of our TOPs group in the Gallery Section?
Lyn- Yes I saw the pics, looked like you ladies had a blast that day
I know how it feels to need support when you gain or even turtle, especially when you have done everything right....last week I was just postitive that I hit my goal and when I didnt well lets just say this past weekend wasnt pretty I am here for you! Keep up the great work and good luck tonight Let us know how you do...
Hi.... Im rooting for you Christian, I hope you make Kops this week, if not, next week for sure... eating wise, I have been bingeing a little, seems to be my habit.. I do great for a period of time and then I go berserk,lol.. I weigh in tonite... I am not looking forward to the scales, I have not gotten on the scales at home either..... I will promise to get back to the gym this week, it should be easier now that football and volleyball are over (grandmas taxi, lol ) take care... India (geez, where is everyone else??? )
Hello all, Just wanted to let all know Wilma has come and gone.Had a lot of rain last night,and a lot of wind this morning. Still have some wind but not bad. Sun is shining and you would never know weather was bad earlier. I do hear a chain saw so someone must have some limbs down. But everything is good here. I have been having some medical problems but they are slowly getting better. Unfortunately I have gained my weight back. S--- happens.
Congrats to my girl Christie. You will be a KOP again. It is a lot of pressure staying in leeway. There is no rule that says you must be a KOP. But you will be fine. Hello to all my other "daughters" I haven't been on boards but you know you are always close to my heart.
Good Afternoon everyone... I hope every is doing great today. I have a question for you all. I had a goal to loose 5 pounds before Thanksgiving, but my goal changed a little bit. My husband just got orders (military) that will take him out of state for 6 weeks. Is a 10pd goal for 6 weeks reasonable? My goal is still 5+ pounds by Thanksgiving but just wanted some input. Thanks everyone
Welcome ssgtswife33- Yes 10 pounds is very doable They say it is safe to lose 1-2 pounds a week so that should be fine May be hard, but feel free to post as often as you need too and know that the support on this board is just awsome so we will help in any way we can. Hope to hear more from you
Mom- Glad to see you posting again...I have been praying for you and hope you are feeling better Also glad to see Wilma passed over you without lots of damage, seems to be alot of hurricanes this year Please take care of yourself and know I love ya
India- Let us know how weigh in goes, and know that we are rooting for you
If I am even going to come close to losing this weight before Thursday night I am gonna have to quit sabatoging myself and get serious...this is a goal that has been in my way for years and not reaching it was just another reminder that I give up alot of times when things I want and have worked hard for are right at my finger tips....well not this time ladies, I have been on hold long enough and there are alot of things I want to acomplish and have let even my weight stop me from ....so here is my eating plan for today and exercise .................
