    Hi all, Thanks orlcam ;)

    Had a nice walk yesterday by myself as well as the dog walk... a short one but one nonetheless! Gotta get back in the game. Also fasted right until dinner yesterday!! So that was good!!

    Meghan I agree about the calories, try upping a bit and your guy could need more fat & protein??

    Orlcam you lost me at calculator.... but I’m sure if there’s a chart to be made, you’re the right guy for the job!! Also... I buy Lily’s too for my son, except mine are only sold at Whole Foods for $10.99 cdn !!! And he’s not liking anything baked with almond flour!!

    Kate hope your week is going well !

    It’s Wednesday already!!! Took my parents to the airport Monday night, 3 weeks in Barbados !!! Being 87, they give me grey hairs!!! Have a great day everyone! I have a shopping trip to Costco & Walmart today!! Woohoo, fun times!

    Good morning all!

    Hope your day is going well so far!

    Hey @mamainthekitchen yes, I think eating enough calories is important and good to keep our bodies guessing with calorie cycling. BF is doing well this week with his calories and protein. Fat is good for making us feel nice and satisfied after meals, which we like.

    Hope your parents have a great time in Barbados! I am jealous! Oooh Costco and Wal-Mart are fun! We were at Costco last night. Lots of good Keto stuff there for us.

    Tomorrow morning is weigh in time for me! Next week I am going to call and audible and weigh in on Thursday morning, before the Thanksgiving festivities. Not that we plan on going nuts. :)

    Off to grab a tea and start drinking my water. Have a great day!

    Good morning all!

    CONGRATS @KateNkognito Way to go!!! Enjoy your time off, it is well deserved!

    I weighed in this morning and I am down 1.2 lbs! And in other nice news, my guy is down over 3 lbs for the week! I feel bad when he has a slow or no loss week because he follows his WOE to a "T". Very happy for him!

    Anyone have any fun plans this weekend? We are heading out to dinner with friends on Saturday night. We have not seen them for a few months, so very excited about that. Next week I am off, so if I post sporadic you know. :)

    Hope everyone is having a good week. Will check in soon. Take care!

    Congratulations @KateNkognito , well deserved! Yep, glad to have my kids home for the break.

    @mamainthekitchen Wow, both your parents off to Barbados and for 3 weeks...has to be nice knowing you got the longevity gene from both sides.

    @Meghan509 That was a quick recovery...1.2lbs and 3lbs...noice!

    This weekend: ribeye roast and poker or board games with the family Saturday night...should be a good time. Exploding Kittens looks fun...the board game not the actual combustion of cute cuddly furballs ;)

    Have a good weekend everyone.

    @orlcam LOL Have fun Exploding Kittens and having some family fun!

    @mamainthekitchen I hope you didn't get too wild at the Walmart! LOL I hope your parents have fun!

    @Meghan509 Congrats on the losses! Have a great time visiting friends! Enjoy your week off.

    I am cursing the weather for giving me a massive headache, but it is making it easy to have a fast day. I am hoping the head and the weather clear up soon, I have things to do! Enjoy the holiday, for all those in the US!

    Way down in weight. But I was sick Friday night and didn't feel good yesterday. I am sure I will gain some back by next weigh in. Having a great week.

    Oh wow it’s Monday already!! First off... CONGRATULATIONS to Kate!!! So proud of you... you’ve worked hard for this degree!!! Awesome job!!

    Orlcam: yes the longevity gene... my grandmother made it to 100!!

    Meghan I’m sure your friends noticed a difference with both of you... congrats on the loss!!

    I’m having a hard time not nibbling on the big bag of trail mix I bought at Costco!!! Really annoyed I bought it!! It’s so yummy I could have a bowl just for dinner!

    Getting organized in my house this week but I’m afraid I’ve made more of a mess... I even bought coordinated boxes to make it look like I’m more organized than I am!! **sigh**

    Have a good day people!

    Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for my family and friends. That includes every single one of y'all!

    We are not having our meal here, so I can avoid all the tasty leftovers. But tomorrow is my husband's birthday, so we will be going out to eat and he has chosen his favorite ice cream place for dessert. :) He is really thrilled that he will be a pensioner in two short years. LOL

    @mamainthekitchen Stay strong! You got this!

    @Meghan509 Enjoy your day and your wine. :)

    @orlcam Will see you on the other side! Enjoy the family!

    To everyone else: be thankful for all of your blessings. I am thankful you are all one of mine.

    Good morning all!

    Turkey day was really nice. Nope, I passed on the stuffing. BF's Mom made lots of lovely Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cauliflower for us to have with our turkey. It was yummy! Yep, I drank some red wine, mostly Malbec but all good. Drank a lot of water too and had some sugar free chocolate for dessert.

    Yesterday we went over a friend's house for some ham and ribs. We skipped the lovely looking mashed potatoes LOL and had some green beans and salad. Good stuff.

    We have a bit of snow coming here Sunday night and Monday. We will see how it all pans out. Not ready for this yet!! Ugh.

    See you soon!

    LOL @orlcam ! I am NOT a Black Friday shopper! I HATE crowds. We went out for my husband's birthday in the evening and there was still a TON of traffic. His sister had three tickets to our alma mater's home game today, but the oldest and I stayed behind so my dear husband and his cousin and my youngest could all go together. It is so nice and quiet! LOL
    I can't believe it is December tomorrow! Time flies! Have a great rest of the weekend!
