I started in June. 30 days today, and down 12 pounds! 30 more to go :) It's slowed down quite a bit, but I have been told to just keep going and it will come. Patience...

My goal is to incorporate the gym 2-3 times a week. Seems simple, but I haven't been doing it. I started Keto about 3 weeks ago, and have not been able to get the fitness AND the diet into action at the same time!

Went to the store for comfort food, and left with bacon and brussel sprouts... times have changed. LOL

I started Keto 2 weeks ago - it's been going well. I did this free course before I started and found it super informative : http://courses.ketogasm.com/courses/113927/lectures/1714703 There's also a facebook group called Keto for badass babes ;) It's pretty supportive, and full of great ideas.

I totally agree - a treat should be a treat. Unfortunately, since becoming an adult, I have totally abused the definition!

This list just made my day - can this be true?! I can eat Brie cheese?! ❤️

Thank you everyone!!

Thanks for this thread - I'm just getting started, and this is super helpful!

You can walk, run or bike! Check it out on fb! https://www.facebook.com/hogwartsrunningclub

And yes, stuffing - outside the bird. In lieu of stuffing in the bird, we use apples, peeled and quartered.

Another Canadian here - Thanksgiving is my all time fav. Must haves: Turkey :) Mashed Potatoes Veggie of your choice (I like corn, or turnips). Cranberry sauce. Dessert: PIE! Apple, Pecan, butter tarts, apple crisp... yummm. It's all about the seasonal fruits and veggies. <3 Enjoy!

That's a very good point!

Bookworms unite!! Do you like Harry Potter? I ask because I just found a wicked cool (nerdy) Hogwarts Running Club, and you can collect all sorts of awesome running medals based around the Harry Potter Theme. I just completed my Platform 9 3/4 race :P

Yes. Well you and all the Vegans. I'm sorry for your loss... or sad bacon sentiment.

It was fried, and eaten with eggs? :)

So unhelpful my friends. SO unhelpful! LOL

You guys, you don't understand. We got this peppercorn crusted bacon from Presidents choice - ridiculous. It was so good... but so so much sodium. Never again. I must have had my 8 glasses of water within 20 minutes of consuming said bacon. LOL

Ok awesome! I'm hoping this compliments my running :)

So we just got a bowflex - (my husband acquired one...) This will work, right?

LOL! I am just seeing this now. *genius* !

What kind of help are you looking for? Meal ideas?

Exactly! Good luck to you too! I really hope you enjoy it, and get out of it the same things I did. I look at food an entirely different way now. :)

Thanks everyone for your suggestions - I'm going to see what I can come up with over the weekend. I need a new challenge.

I will look into both of those! I love your optimism in suggesting I could possibly do a single chin up - BUT I will take that challenge ;)

You will love it!

This is me too! I'm 160 with a goal of 130 - Like how I feel and look at that point, but we'll see once I get there. It's been so long ;)

Do what you feel looks and feels good on you :)

I think by reaching out, your family will completely respect you. It's like being proactive when you see a problem coming. You are recognizing the signs, and trying to avoid a total relapse. You don't need to go back and be like "you guys, I have a problem again :( " You can go and speak to your mom, or your doctor and say…

No, but I would kill for legs like that! :)
