2005 THANKSGIVING CHALLENGE!

[FightingTheFight]

I don't think its alot, judging by the way other males lose around here, the fact that my exercise is some serious stuff, and I really don't know what I weigh now...I think I can easily pass it! :nod

[Effie]

I know you don't weigh everyday, so I don't know how you feel, but I'm dying to know the results of your June 20th weigh-in! The suspense is killing me!

Uh oh, I think my scale obsession is crossing over to other people now.

[FightingTheFight]

LMAO!

Its killing me too, considering right now, about 30 feet downstairs from me is a accurate scale, but I swear I won't even think of touching it! I am staying at my sisters, but I am about ready to tell her to hide it! lol

But I tell you what, only 2wks and 2 days to go, almost like an induction.

As a matter of fact I am about to have to clean out my induction foods again, I am getting to easy on hidden carbs. The Cream cheese is going to have to go, not to mention the Mashed cabbage..I swear I could eat gallons of that stuff hehe

Good morning..... :wave
how is everyone......I am mad at myself right now..... :anger .....I fixed my DH a PB&J sandwhich and before I knew I licked the spoon.... :bang ....I always wondered how could people do that and not know they did ,......now I know how....I am going to have to be more careful.......anyway I have lost a pound...... :dancing :joy :icondance ....1 pound is better than none......I prob won't weigh again until next weekend......I have a cookout to go to this evening my MIL's ....my DH is suppose to help me if he sees that I am going to eat a hotdog with a bun and remind me not to.....I really think I can do this and change my WOE.... now that I have talked him into helping me I know I can...... he feels funny about telling me anything like that cause he has never been the type to say anything to me over my weight...... Well guess I better get going .......hope everyone is doing ok....

[Effie]

Good Monday Morning, everyone.

Karen, how was the cookout? Were you able to stay away from the carbs?

I'm utterly disappointed this morning. I didn't lose any weight, again. I didn't lose any inches either. It looked like I was going to be down about 2 pounds judging by my mid week weigh-ins, but now I'm back up to where I was last Monday. The good thing about weighing everyday is that I know I dipped down, even if it was temporary. I think if I didn't weigh at all during the week and hopped on the scale this morning to see no loss, I'd have flipped out. But, I'm staying calm and moving on.

At any rate, I guess that solves the question of whether I should move up the OWL rungs! I also wonder if the cauliflower casserole I made is causing me to stall/gain. This was my "new" veggie that I didn't add until the end of the week. I'll go without that this week and see what happens next week.

ha

I have recommitted today :joy I have asked my hubby for his help. My weight was way up this morning due to a dinner we had with friends last night and I didn't hold back. I'm going to do induction for 1 or 2 weeks. In about 3 or 4 days when I lose the water weight, I will use that for my current weight. I hate the thought of changing my stats... up :anger

Onward and upward (or downward?). I'm going to go to the gym tonight and do 30 min weight training and 30 min treadmill.

NO EXCUSES this time! :guns

[sparkles52502]

hello everyone.....
Effie........the cookout went great I didn't cheat at all.......after I made the decision to not cheat seems like it was easier to not do it.......hange in there you will start losing ....I know its fustrating I want to go get on the scales also to see if I have lost at least another pound but I am going to try to stay away till weekend......

Debbie----- you have the right attitude.......get right back in there and get started.........we can do this I know we can.........

Well guess I better get to cleaning the house it won't clean it self...........

[pockets]

I am just checking in. I have no weight loss to report. Thank goodness, we have till Thanksgiving. LOL

[FightingTheFight]

I know the feeling. Although sometimes we just have to wait and push through!


Where is everyone!

[sparkles52502]

hey how is everyone doing.....I have been doing great so far........I have been walking every evening.....can't wait to weigh this weekend..... seems like I am really hungry tonight ....... I am going to try to just go to bed and wait till in the morn....I hate to eat so late....... well I am going to go read some on the board and then going to bed.......goodnight.....

Hey all,
I'm still hanging in. I ran three times this week! I want to go again this morning too. There's a park near my house, so I do 3 loops around it, and each loop takes me about 9-10 minutes. Although, during my last run, I already shaved 3:15 off my total time (26:45). Not quite sure of the distance, but I'm guessing it's about 2-2.5 miles total.

I really haven't been hungry lately. I'm on my second week of OWL (still on rung 1), but the last few days I've been eating less than 15 carbs. I might have to move on within the rungs, because I just can't eat the sheer volume of veggies it takes to add 5-10 carbs. Don't get me wrong, I love my veggies, but when you're just not hungry, its hard to eat 2 cups of broccoli, ya know?

I'll post my weight loss on Monday!

[DebbietheHugBug]

G'morning all :wave

I'm hanging in. In spite on my painful hip, I did exercise 3X this week. I'm going to rest until Monday to see if the pain will go away so that walking doesn't feel any worse than it should!

My weight on Monday was 149 and I'm at 142.5 now. I know it's just water but it's nice to see it GO! :guns

I have a party to go to tomorrow night. I'm going to make my own ice-cream. Not really legal since I'm not on the dairy rung yet, but I figure it's better than having the other stuff.

I hope y'all have a great weekend! :icondance

[Effie]

Hey all,
I'm having major issues. I was 192.5 on Saturday, so I was psyched for Monday to come so I could report a 3.5 pound loss. Well, now it's Monday and I'm back up to 196. That means I haven't lost anything since my Induction. I even went to a cookout yesterday and stayed away from all the goodies. I was sitting at a picnic table with ALL the desserts, and I didn't even have a crumb. Wah wah wah! :anger I'll stop whining now.

I think I might go back to eating at Induction levels. I can do that, right?

I start a new job today, so I'm going to have to start planning my meals better, as I've been used to eating at home a lot (or at least having a lot of time at home to cook for the week). Now my schedule will be tighter and more hectic, and I don't want to fall into any traps.

How's everyone else doing? 23.5 weeks til Thanksgiving!

Edited to add:
Ok, 2 out of 3. The new consensus is 195.5. :yes
200.5/195.5/175
