This is my first day - I must be crazy starting the day before Thanksgiving but i was encouraged by reading the message boards on this topic.
Are there any other crazy newcomers out there?

I think that's actually a great time to start because you'll be more aware of your portions during your thanksgiving dinner. if u start to feel full after one plate, you may be less inclined to get those 2nd and 3rd helpings that tend to lead to a downfall. it's nice to know how to combat immoderate behavior during times when they're encouraged. just my take on it...
Something I've noticed the last two Thanksgivings -- I'm only eating one plate, though it has a large variety of food on it. There's just not too much of anything. I'm also not eating much in the way of dessert. Truthfully, I'm not that fond of the desserts most associated with Thanksgiving.

How's it going used2bskinny? I'm a newcomer as well. My first day is actually today. I decided to start on Dec. 1st.....easier for me to keep track of that way. I'm weird like that! Hope it is going well for you!
