I'm so relieved that the mega food day of Thanksgiving is over and I managed to stick pretty well to WW. I used all my weekly points and activity points for the meal, but I still managed to lose 1.6lbs that week!! :yay: I am psyched. I'm down a total of 10.2 lbs now.
How did everyone else do? Anyone want to share strategies that worked/didn't work so we can implement for Christmas?
My strategies were:
* I ate ultra healthy for the week other than Thursday
* I did an extra 20 to 30 minutes of mid-level activity every day except Thursday to build up some extra activity points
* I let myself indulge in a little bit of everything but filled most of my plate with veggies (so I had a few bites of mashed potatoes and stuffing and a small piece of pie, but ate lots of brussel sprouts, squash and cauliflower to get full).
* I made this recipe for sweet potato casserole and it was delish: http://www.accenthealth.com/Patients/Recipes-Detail/180/
