Who Lost On Thanksgiving?

ME! I ate a Lyle bite of everything, finished up with 2oz of turkey w/ gravy and LOST 1lb! Best of all I felt great after eating while everyone else looked miserably stuffed. I can honestly say I don't miss that! I was a little bad and did partake in the family tradition of crown shots but I only had two, diluted with water. All in all it was a very successful night!

I had 3oz prime rib,tbsp mash potatoes & tbsp stuffing and lost 1 lb. Best Thanksgiving ever!

I maintained as of this morning! I am happy with that. Great job on the lose, that is awesome!

I do not weigh daily...but I had my TOM and thanksgiving dinner all in one week and lost 1 pound this week.

Thanksgiving morning I was 161. Today I was 160. I absolutely LOVE not having that grossly stuff feeling anymore!!!! When everybody else is sitting around moaning and groaning about eating too much, I feel nothing but very comfortably satisfied!!!!

I lost 2 pounds. I weighed this morning and then tonight and I weigh the same. So fingers crossed I lost more today. Fells so good to lose during the holidays when everyone else is gaining. I am leaving for NYC in a month and hoping I will down my first 50 pounds. Down 43 so far.

How in the world can you tell if you lost or not? Your weight can shift daily.

I weigh every Sunday to see if I lost, but went early today as I was anxious about Thanksgiving and as long as it's the same tomorrow, I'm down 3 this week, woohoo! Passed the 60lb mark and 1lb from being out of the 200s!

I weigh myself twice daily. It's important for me to SEE how my daily eating habits affect my weight loss. Not for everyone, but it works for me. I'm not much of a food tracker. I have always had a hard time tracking anything.

I also weigh myself 2x every day and I tracked everything I put in my mouth up until I was 3/4 of the way to goal...then dr wanted me to becom less dependent on tracking....but I read that people who track their calories when losing are twice as likely to succeed that those who don't. I am not saying you won't be successful.... I just wanted to put it out there for those who are struggling.

Believe me, I wish I was a tracker, I am just not hard wired like that. For example I have prob only tracked 3-5 mens cycles in my life (I'm 30). I don't know y but it is the hardest thing for me to remember. It's been an issue all my life, my mother is a public health nurse who tracks everything and has always tried to get me to track to no avail. Now that I am SAT with two year old twins tracking is just way beyond my scattered mom brain and lifestyle. I hope to one day be a tracker, it would prob help in many areas of my life...

I lost 6 lbs, but 5 was from steroids that I ended Tuesday, so I am only going to count the one :-)

i dont weigh but once at a month at my dr's monthly follow up

i ate my alotted amount (steered away from gravies/rolls and pie) and enjoyed every bite.

so did i lose or gain, i have no idea but enjoyed my thanksgiving just the same.

hope everyone else did also

Feels good huh? Enjoying it instead of regretting it!?
