Heather, I should have joined this last week but I did not and now there's only 16 days left! Is that right. Man Thanksgiving is so darn close.

Really I would just like to be at 289 (signature) again by then. I carb loaded myself up to 302 all over again this last week. How the heck did that happen in four days?

I'm not changing my signature though darn it, it's just a temporary thing.

Don't worry Cushie! Most of this is carb bloat and water retention. It'll come off fast. Welcome to the challenge!

It will be nice to come out of Thanksgiving dinner satisfied.....maybe a little stuffed, but not off plan.
My m-i-l is having tummy troubles and has given up dairy, too (for the time being) to see if that helps her. I told her not to worry: I'll hook her up with some great choices on Thanksgiving.

I am PMS-ing. I could tell yesterday. And, I was up one pound this morning. It's funny, I was expecting it and I was fine. Being UP and still in the 220's is a wonderful thing. I just want to be back down and getting close to those 'teens once TOM is gone.

I'm enjoying this challenge and I want to thank Heather (BBJ1) for hostessing for us.

Last year I hardly ate at Thanksgiving so I feel the same about being satified.

My sister called this weekend and invited me to Thanksgiving dinner. I will be making broccoli slaw and something else that I haven't decided on yet. I have to look through my cookbook and then call and tell her. Green bean casserole sounds good.

I am already down 5 of my 13 bloat pounds and today I have been in the bathroom more often than not so I am revising my Thanksgiving goal to lose 2 pounds on top of my carb bloat.

Heather, don't mean to mess up the stats, but wait and change them next week since yesterday when you posted I was still 302.

So I am trying for 287 by Thanksgiving and as of this morning I was 297...but like Heather said , it's mostly bloat, so I should keep losing quickly for several more pounds.
