Completed two hours of cleaning and early prep for Thanksgiving. Also, me and my husband danced and sung with our kiddos practicing Christmas songs for the school program, which was fun! Now I'm exhausted, off to bed.4 -

I’ve been staying on track this week really well but I haven’t seen that reflected in the scale yet, so it’s frustrating. My pants feel a little looser though. I can see a difference in my legs and tummy...just wish the scale would follow! I know it’s just a number, but I never see much fluctuation in my weight, so it’s hard not to believe I’m doing something wrong! Last week the same thing happened and then I saw the number go down at the very end of the week. This week with Thanksgiving I’m afraid I won’t see that!

I can relate. I haven't had much change on the scale but I have lost 4 inches around my waist so far. I'm trying to measure my success in other ways so I don't get discouraged2 -

So- I set a goal weight based on me wanting to keep some of my curves, but today I used the cdc calculator and realized that my goal weight isn’t enough to be considered “healthy” 😔 Feeling a bit discouraged. Maybe I’ll keep my current goals and see how i feel when i get there? Sigh

@hollypopp10 Well, I think it's a bit relative, I'm 4' 10" and my goal weight is likely not going to be considered healthy by those BMI charts, but my body fat percentage will fall in the healthy range because I spend so much time gaining muscle, I'll weigh more than the average person of my height...but have a healthy body fat %, so I think it really boils down to other factors than just the BMI charts...hopefully that's somewhat reassuring...?hollypopp10 wrote: »So- I set a goal weight based on me wanting to keep some of my curves, but today I used the cdc calculator and realized that my goal weight isn’t enough to be considered “healthy” 😔 Feeling a bit discouraged.

Hey Slimsons, so I know it's been a week since I last check in and apologize been enjoying time with family but even though they have been bringing Dunkin donuts because my niece works there, every night I have maintain and not strayed from my eating plan. Although today I'm having my mom make me some keto friendly blueberry walnut and chocolate chip-nut butter walnut muffins and my sister brought me some WHISPS (cheese chips) so now besides my trailmix of nuts and dark chocolate I'll have other low carb snacks.
MY SUBSTITUTES:
instead of cake 》 my muffin
Instead of chips 》cheese chips (Whisps)
Instead of ice cream 》 NO SUGAR ADDED NON DAIRY ICE CREAM (have to be careful only 3 spoons a serving)
So 3-fold question for the team: Are you having trouble sustaining from certain foods around family and friends? If so, have you tried substituting some of your favorite foods on this journey like I am? If so what are they?
@gjaholy33 nah - the only dish I’d be weak over is my Moms homemade stuffing and she isn’t making this year. So I’m making low carb stuffing and they better like it lol
Instead of pies - I’m bringing whipped cream and berries for the family. Im bringing one for me made with stevia and one for them with raw sugar because they don’t like sugar substitute. Sigh.
Not doing potatoes either - they don’t know it yet but they are getting whipped cauliflower and squash pilaf.
I guess I’ll miss vino— I’m going to have some on my birthday though the week after Thanksgiving— so I’m holding out for that.
Great inspiration!! I’ll be with ya not having sugar or lots of bread!
Ps - I found a stuffing recipe made from almond flour and coconut flour- we shall find out how it is!
Wow you gave me some great ideas for desserts for Christmas Whip cream and berries. I also do not like stevia so I use Xylitol
Happy Thanksgiving0 -

I definitely struggle with it! One big one for me is rice. It's a staple in my family's diet and I struggled a lot with it. I substitute it with cauliflower rice and season it the same way and it satisfies the craving. Also, some foods just have unnecessary calories. Like certain foods just have unnecessary amounts of oil which is really dense in calories so I'll just make the same thing with more calorie friendly ingredients and just make the recipe more simply.
I think rice is a struggle for most of us. I also tried the cauliflower rice but did not like it. When we are on this journey we have no to learn a different way to cook that is more nutritious.1
