I'm Not going to make this challenge!!! I had a wonderful weekend w/ DBF - BUT I did HORRIBLE eating wise. I still worked out - but it doesn't do muich when I ate McD's 3 times, Pizza (4 slices!), Big Johns and drank a lot of alcohol!!!
I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm seriously up 10.5 pounds!!!!!!!!!! (#196) AHHHH!!! I know that a lot of it is water weight TOM is supposed to vist soon. I'm not changing any tickers until my offical weigh in on Friday - I'm expecting that I'll lose a lot of the water and hopefully some fat by then! I'm also increasing the workouts and decreasing the calories - at least for this week.
I know there's no way I'm going to hit my Turkey day goal - not with this bad of a mess up.. but there's still hope for Christmas. #170 by Christmas... that's the goal. I'm redoing my goals on Friday after my weigh in. As of right now my Turkey day goal is not to be at #180.5 - but to at leasetbe under the weight I started at!! (#191.9)
Enygirl, I can relate. I'm actually up 0.8 pounds for the month. Exercise is fine, meeting those goals.
It's just been a crappy month with zero chance of even being back to where I started it by Thanksgiving. Oh, well. Guess it's going to be another one of *those* holiday seasons!
I've been bad. And maybe a little delusional. Basically, I haven't been watching what I was eating or doing. I've been lazy and the scale showed it. As always, I have a plan. Rejoining WW Thursday......and I just realized that is Thanksgiving. I wonder if they are still going to have it? Regardless, I'm rejoining this week and am going back to counting my points and writing everything down. I'm getting a fresh start in other areas of my life - new job, new state - why not my WL?
Hello... I'm within 5 lbs of my T-day goal, and I'm SOOOO thrilled!! I mean, I only lost 10 lbs, but I feel so great that I lost anything!
JasonsLea, I go to Womens Superfitness Gym here in SA. I pay $17/mo (yeehaw), but there are only two locations in SA.
Congrats on getting the job! The weather is gorgeous here. We're supposed to have a cold front and be in the 50s for T-day... the weathermen are freaking out (that's REALLY COLD here). heehee
I didn't mean it was going to be one of *those* season's meaning weight. Although the challenge weight loss I set for myself for Thanksgiving is an absolute joke, at this rate it isn't even reasonable by New Years.
No, I meant one of *those* seasons in everything! It's just snowballing from icky to bad to worse to ok, stop already! The car, the job, the house, the family . . . it's a long story that doesn't belong here, and it's just frustrating.
Well, we made it. I weighed myself this morning and have lost 9 lbs., so I'm happy with that. I seem to have gotten myself into a groove exercising and eating right, so I'm thankful for that. I'm going to work out this morning, but not worry about points, but I won't go overboard. The challenge, of course, will be getting back into counting points after a day of eating whatever I want.
This challenge has been so helpful to me that I decided to join the Spring Break challenge. Maybe I'll see some of you over there!
Kappy, I hope things get better for you, and JasonsLea-good luck with the move and the new job!
Everyone, have a wonderful day with your friends and families.
What I think is funny is that the impossible 5lbs I lost slowly since August for the Thanksgiving Challenge was effortlessly added back within 8 hours of waking on 11/22 It was all food and water weight, but it still sucked! You girls have been great and see you in the other challenges
