I think this is one of those questions where it better NOT to know the answer. Like when it's so cold that the snow crunches and takes your breath away - do you really want to know what the temperature is with the wind-chill factor?

I understand from some very wise people that a meal eaten with friends only has half the calories of a meal eaten by yourself- regardless of what you eat.  That is the magic of companionship.  Since everyone here is celebrating Thanksgiving ( I hope) then we may actually be at negative calories for the day.  I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving

I have no idea.  Thankfully, I don't really like the sides, so it's generally just turkey and teeny bit of potatoes of some sort for me.

Around 4 to 5 K.... I was on the treadmill for 35 min yesterday with an incliner I only burned 0.135K. I weight myself as bench mark.....

You need to run or vigorously for 12 hrs to consume that much ....

A lot.. and I don't want to think about it. I try to not over indulge (and am not a potatoe or gravy or stuffing eater), so maybe I do less damage than many. But desserts are my downfall and I save up for those calories all day! And since I don't drink alcohol, I save up a lot that way!

I can only imagine, and today is going to be a big test for me. My trainer at the gym reminded me yesterday of my progress, and just said " think about how hard you have worked, do you want to start over"? He said, say that before every bite, or plate full!

2 many.  I always make sure to get a good workout in early on Thanksgiving and the day after so my metabolism is in hyperdrive.

 Good Friday morning Les and Sarah. I really would not know! As long as one eats in moderation, probably not a whole lot more than a 'normal' meal.  But then, who eats in moderation on Thanksgiving?
