Who Lost On Thanksgiving?



Recommended Posts

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!

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 use my fitness pal to track. I do better w it during the week. The weekends I seem to forget. I use it mostly just to see how many calories something is.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
