I just posted links to some Thanksgiving/pumpkin sorts of desserts in a post the other day. It is at

I'm also putting up a blog entry asking for everyone's favorite WLS-friendly holiday recipes. I'm going to give away a box of protein/snack goodies and the winner will be drawn from those who submit a recipe...
I always do the whole dinner. We don't have much family involvement as my family is all 950 miles away and hubby's family is all anti-social. I do a dinner and we have just me, hubby, our girls, and the son-in-law. My biggest holiday dinner though is for our 4-H club. We had that one on 11/11. Turkey, gravy and ALL the fixings... I never know what to take! This year, I took my Splenda pumpkin cake, a pasta salad, and a pan of macaroni and cheese (Barilla plus pasta) with chunks of ham in it.
At home on Thanksgiving, I do turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed taters, green beans, yeast rolls, and no-sugar-added pumpkin pie with light whipped topping. Do I eat all that??? NO WAY!! But, that is what I serve! LOL I eat a serving of turkey with gravy. I eat a few bites of mashed potatoes, and I eat green beans. Later--not right after dinner like many folks--I eat a small slice of the pumpkin pie... Then, I start thinking of creative and protein-laden ways to use up the extra turkey. I always make a BIG bird as we eat turkey in several different meals for a week or more!

Leah,
About your post on the Yahoo group, and putting the daily posts only on that board, I cannot access that board to post anything. All I can do is read the posts that come to me via e-mail. The only way I can post is on this board on OH.

Hi,
On 9/10 - 294 start of Halloween Challenge
On 10/30 - 269.6 (Halloween goal was 260#)
On 11/2 - 268.2
On 11/3 - 267.8
On 11/14 - 259.8
On 11/16 - 259
On 11/20 - 257.6
New Year's Goal - 240
Thanksgiving for me will be spent working (Wed-Sun that week). I did buy a turkey breast to make at home. May go to my mom's after work & DH to his mom's. I am kind of glad to work this year (1) I get holiday pay for Thurs & Fri (2) we usually have about 3-4 places to go for the holidays and I think it will be best to avoid the food situation for now.
Have a great week !!
Melissa
