Off to sleep~goodnight everyone

Congratulations all of you! I am down to 205 as off this morning. I am uber proud of myself. Today was my oldest boy's 6th birthday, and he wanted dirt cake. 800 some odd calories per serving:dizzy:. I have a small taste of it, and that was it.

My goal will be just to stay on track. I have a habit of eating til i'm uncomfortably full. I am not going to deny myself the Thanksgiving meal but i am going to make those portions smaller. And i want to keep going with Jillian's BFBM.

I know, it's 9 days in... but can I join? I just read the 7 pages previous to catch up. lol

I'd like to lose 8 by Thanksgiving. It's not as steep as it sounds. I know I am fluffy from pre-TOM (and cranky!!) so I figure I'm good for atleast 3 pounds water weight.

I am trying to exercise 3 days a week for 15 minutes atleast. I've turned into such a wuss.

I will stay under 1500 cals- no wheat.

I will drink my water.

Okay, off to make DH's lunch. I'll have to be creative about my menu (usually means "what's in the fridge" soup. lol )

What's everyone else eating?

I am down another pound

I hope everyone is feeling well and on track diet/exercise-wise. We can stay on track during the holidays. The more we stay on track now the less we have to resolve to lose later, right?
So even though I'm not currenty losing, I'm staying on track. No other option looks good to me. If I don't eat on plan I will gain so I'm staying on plan!
Have a great Monday. :)

Today is my weigh-in day and I didn't lose a thing this week. I wasn't totally on plan over the weekend.

Well today was my official weigh in for the week and I made my goal of a 2 lb loss!! I'm down to 175 today. Congrats to everyone else for their accomplishments :cp: I didn't get to go walk/jog today due to Tropical Storm Ida. It was supposed to turn (still is) but they have been saying that since early yesterday and it's still heading straight this way so who knows. It's just really cloudy and EXTREMELY windy, only a few drizzles here and there though. I guess that means I'm stuck inside studying for my quiz and test tomorrow.

Was feeling a little upset not to see any loss yet, but I know it will take time. Plus I am coming off of a good loss last week, so patience. Great job everyone for the commitment. I wish you a great week and whooshes all around.

I am new to forum and actually this is my first post to a message board ever! I know it is not the beginning of the month but I would like to be part of the Thanksgiving Challenge if possible. My goal is to lose 5 pounds by Thanksgiving.

Well, I'm kinda upset. No loss for me :( I'm still at 195 as of today, but Friday I was 194 and I've definitely been on track with calories. I started exercising last week: cardio workout Monday, pilates Tuesday, and 30-40min treadmill Thurs, Fri, & Sat, along with upper body weight training those days also...I understand your weight sometimes increases slightly after you begin exercising, but this is very frustrating!!! I drink atleast 64oz of water every day and sometimes upwards of 96oz. My calories ranged from 1300 to 1800, but most days it was right around 1500. Any suggestions???

I dunno. Maybe I just need to be patient and wait for a loss next week???

Congrats to all you losers out there!!! :)

KDM~JUST STAY STRONG~SEEMS LIKE YOUR RIGHT AT A GOOD AMOUNT OF CALORIES.

WELCOME TO THOSE WHO ARE NEW!

Everyone else forgive me....I am making this super short...I am having problems with my computer.

I hope my hubby can fix it soon. He is trying.
Anyways , Must Let him have it back....Will type again soon.


p.s. I was back to my 172 today! I am hoping to see those 160's soon.

KDM I know it can be frustrating, but hang in there. You are doing all the right things, so it will move for you soon. I know with me the first week or so adding exercise slowed me down. Plus you add A LOT at one time. Your doing great, don't worry.

I am also sitting at the same weight. I think part of it is pre-TOM, so as soon as I get past that I hope to be ok.

November seems so short with the holiday stuck in there.

You guys were right...I was frustrated pre-maturely! lol The scale said 194 this morning. Maybe slightly below, but w/my prehistoric analog scale, I can't really see all the little lines between the 5's LoL My electronic scale is on it's way...I ordered it Saturday. Then I'll be able to track even the smallest of losses! lol or Gains for that matter!

I did 45min Turbo Jam Cardio Party yesterday and I'm really sore today...but maybe I'll have time to do the treadmill tonight at work...I'm deteremined to stick w/exercising! My goal is atleast 3x/week...I'm also going to try to get closer to my daily calories...once I looked further into my calories for last week, I was WAAAY under (almost 1100) for the amount I should've had for the week (I've been trying to calorie cycle...wanted to give it a try for a month or so)

Lori259 & Jae165...THANKS for the encouragement!! It is so nice having people on here that care & are so motivational!!!!

Hi!

I'm new to this challenge, but hope it's okay to join even at this late date! My goal is to lose 5 lbs. by Thanksgiving. Here goes...

And congrats to everyone who has done so well, thus far!
