Hi ladies!  Happy Early Thanksgiving!

I have been spacing out this post a little because I think it makes more since to check in at the end of the week on Fridays.  So after this post I will wait to post again until next Friday.

How has everyone done?  Have you reached any goals?  Need some encouragement?  With Thanksgiving tomorrow it can be a little tricky to stay on track.

If you are new to this check in feel free to answer these questions so we can learn a little about you!

1.     What is your weight loss/get healthy goal?
2.     What method are you using to help reach your goal?
3.     What is your biggest weakness that you just can't resist?

QOTW: What is your favorite thing about Thanksgiving?

I did really good the last couple of weeks.  So I weigh in twice a week on Tuesday mornings as soon as I get up and then at weight watchers on Wednesdays after work.  I only do this because I am in a weight loss competition with a coworker and we started our weigh ins in the morning.  Last Wednesday when I weighed in at weight watchers I had lost 3.6 pounds.  From last Tuesday to this Tuesday I had lost 2 pounds, and I weighed again this morning and lost another 1.4 from yesterday morning!  So I will weigh in again tonight, not sure what I will get but I am expecting a decent number.  So I will call out my numbers because I am proud.  I am a very chubby girl, I started at 248 and I am now down to 217!  I would like to lost about 20 more pounds before we start our IUIs back up.  I am getting closer and closer each week!  Weeks like this definitely make it worth it!!!

QOTW: As crazy as my family is, that is what I look the most forward to.  We were planning on playing a kickball game after dinner tomorrow but its going to be too cold.  Oh I am also excited because my grandparents both passed away last year and their headstone was finally put in this week.  I bought a little christmas tree with solar powered lights and I can't wait to go put it on their grave!!  I hope everyone has fabulous holidays!!!

Great job, @hope2bmom83

I am doing well. I am down 32 lbs in 11 weeks. Trying to stay the course so I can lose as much as possible before I start treatments back in January.

QOTW: I love thanksgiving. I love the parades, the shopping, the food, etc. My favorite is the baking. I am in charge of all of the holiday baking for the family and I love it! I love to bake! Luckily I don't ever really eat the treats I make. Happy thanksgiving ladies!

Hello everyone, I'm doing weight watchers and I'm down 24 lbs in 10 weeks. I'm on my third cycle of IVF right now. Blood test on 12/2. My weakness is definitely ice cream.

Hi There

1. My Goal: try to stay active while cycling

2. Method: I'm looking for something to fill the void of marathon training. I am truly a marathon addict and am going through serious withdrawal here!!

3. Biggest Weakness/Temptation: Oreo cookies!!! AUGH!!! I'm also trying to get over the "loss" of my good friend, running, while going through IVF. I miss it so much... I know it will be there for me after I get through this, but it has been hard to literally stand on the sidelines and watch all of my friends run marathons. 

QOTW: The food!!!! And of course spending time with my family

I've pretty much stayed flat lately.  I was getting back on track with running, but this week was crazy since we're hosting for Thanksgiving.  I was going to run today, but after running all over town and prepping food, I'm pooped!  Oh well...I like to think all the effort for the big meal is part of the workout...

QOTW: We've hosted the last few years since we got our house, so I just love having people over and seeing everyone have a good time at our place.  We are a tiny family and also have friends over every Thanksgiving, so it's not as stressful with all the relatives.
