Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I can't wait to relax this weekend. Four days off. Hope to get a chance to blog a little and not completely ruin my diet with all the good food around.

Thanksgiving diets

Hey Guinea,

I overdid it big time this Thanksgiving.
I think I managed to gain 5 pounds in two days!
I should have been on a diet but instead I gained more weight.
Seems like the same story, I keep getting heavier and I want to do something about it but I can't find the motivation.

Can anyone recommend a good diet or weight loss product that I can use to help me get started in the right direction?

Thanks,

Tammy

Welcome to the forum!

If motivation is a weakness for you perhaps trying a diet program that has weekly meetings and weigh-ins, like Jenny Craig. This may help to make you feel more accountable for your weight loss, or lack of it as the case may be.

I would also suggest getting involved in this forum. You can chat with all of us about motivation because we're all going through similar stuff. Another thing I've enjoyed has been starting my own weight loss blog here on this site (anyone can start one). Just by writing about weight loss topics that interest me I learn so much and it motivates me to keep going.

I know many people lose motivation because the weight doesn't come off very quickly. If this is a part of why you lose motivation then perhaps give diet pills a try. When I combined them (Phentramin-D) with a healthy diet and exercise I lost weight faster. This helped me, particularly at the beginning, when losing all that weight seemed like an impossible feat.

Keep us posted about how it's going and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too Guinea Piggy. Hey, I loved your blog about Thanksgiving Weight Loss Tips. I tried some of your suggestions. I really loved the creamed cauliflower.
