You'll get a better time next race!

We ended up staying home last night and we're only spending one night in Chicago. I asked my DH to find some turkey sausages in the freezer so I could make a nice hearty breakfast and he pulls out some old brown and serve sausages instead. EIGHTEEN grams of fat in the links! No way. I threw them out and dug up the turkey ones I bought just last week.

Thanks everyone, Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Tomorrow the meeting at WW is at 9:30, being new what time should I show up? I signed up for the Monthly Pass already but it's still my first time. What do you think?

I would try to get there at about 9:10 - 9:15. That way you can meet with the leader and get your initial weigh-in and settle in. I don't eat anything before my morning weigh in (also a 9:30) and I bring my morning coffee with me. There are lots of people who eat their breakfasts in the meeting too ... usually granola type bars and yogurt.

Thanks for the info! Getting weighed after Thanksgiving is going to be VERY BAD!!!! BUT next week will be better!

Sounds like a great day to run a 5K. Congratulations!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone. I hope you are all having a better day than I am.

Shortly after dinner last night it hit me like a ton of bricks, I came down with a bad case of Flu. Spent the day in bed, eating toast and drinking peppermint tea.

Good luck today. At least you don't have to worry about a official gain since it's your first weigh in . I can't wait to hear how it went today for you. I didn't even get on the scale today. I am going to pound the water today because I can tell I had way to much salty food. I am really going to try and do my very best between now and Thurs. Again Good luck today.

Shelby: I hope your weigh in went well!

My Thanksgiving was good. Even though my sister pushed dinner back two hours and then my mother was still about 90 minutes late. We ending up eating at 8:00! Thankfully, I ate a good lunch before we left home and I brought a veggie tray with non-fat dill dip. I did eat too many black olives and I went back for seconds on dressing and green bean casserole. But, in all I did better than I usually do. Those veggies were a lifesaver! I also tried a trick that my leader suggested that will work for holiday parties. She suggested that everything you eat MUST go on a plate before you eat it. She also has a rule that she can't eat unless she is sitting. The idea is that you own the food on the plate while you won't if you just stand and graze. The olives were consumed by standing and grazing out of the tray .

On my way down for breakfast in the hotel lobby. Talk to everyone later!

Congratulations on completing the race. I am sure you will have a better time next time, but I just think it is great that you did it. My 5K is on December 11 and I am getting nervous. I know I can finish, but I really want to run (okay, jog) the whole thing. I have only done walking while in Switzerland, so my body is in for a shock on Sunday.

oh, I'm sorry if I forced you to "come out" here on the thread! I know what you mean about always sharing at meetings because they know you're staff...I have the same thing happen too. I switched meetings (due to my work schedule changing) so that helps that not too many know I'm staff. It's good to know I'm not alone in the struggle even as a staff member...we go through the same challenges as regular members too!

You didn't force me out. I pretty much knew what would happen when I answered that question. Not to worry.

I do not think you made Jessie come out -- I think others of us had it figured out and are so glad to have someone on the inside! I appreciate her knowledge and success. Just go back and look at her photos.



Congrats! That is great.

Okay ladies, I figured out how to avoid the whole Turkey day thing. Go on vacation that week -- preferably to a foreign country (Canada does not count for a Michigander like me). DH, DD16 and I are in Switzerland this week and there are not a whole lot of fat people here, yet there is plenty of wonderful food. We are getting in lots of walks and enjoying the sights. Eating is a little of a challenge because chocolate and cheese are everywhere and fabulous.

Thanks Sandi!! I hope you're having a wonderful vacation and please post a couple of pictures when you return.

I suspected this...

Really?? I guess there were a few clues along the way.

So... how did it go...?

I'm so full

Good thing it's just a holi-DAY, eh? (I had to throw in the 'eh' because, after all, I AM CANADIAN!)

Oh, I hope you're feeling better today.



So, I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and happy shopping today! You're Black Friday is like our Boxing Day here. We have a PD day today. Christmas music is on the radio now and I thought we might put the tree up this aft but I don't think I feel like it at the moment.

I was down on my scale this morning. Saw a number I haven't seen in a looooong time!!

I joined this thread at page 17 back in June. We'll be up to 100 pages in just a few more posts! I think we're all happy to be here. I know I am!

True, I didn't have to worry about a gain. I can say at the meeting almost everyone there had lost, one even lost over 3lbs!

Shelby: I hope your weigh in went well!

I'm glad your Thanksgiving went well even if it was delayed a bit. Olives...it could have been worse, it could have been dessert!

Well, my weigh in was exactly as I thought....horrifying for me. I haven't weighed myself in a few months but told my hubby the other night what I thought it was. (explaining why I felt WW was a necessity) The weight I had in my head was only .5 more than I actually am. Which is incidentally exactly 5lbs MORE than when I was 9 months pregnant! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO humiliated. But with that humiliation comes motivation.

I am on track and SO ready for this!

You sound like me, when I got on the scale and was about 10lbs more than I was 9 months pregnant and with a child who was over 9lbs at birth I was mortified!!! So, I know exactly how you feel.

Not a good feeling!

I've been meaning to ask what part of S. Jersey are you from? I'm from North Jersey.

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving! I weigh in tomorrow morning and already know I have gained. I didn't do overly bad yesterday but I doubt I stayed with in my daily points but Wednesday wasn't to hot plus it's that time of the month so I'm feeling extra fluffy! UGH...I keep debating if I should even weigh in because I know it won't be pretty but I know it's better to do it and be accountable then run from it. I did go run for 30 minutes tonight though because I felt so guilty.

Well I hope everyone has a great weekend! I have already told myself I have to go to the gym both days this weekend and normally I don't workout on the weekends since the weather has cooled off.
