Slow Losers Unite!
Hi low-carb & keto kin! I started ketoing on October 20th--jumped straight in after taking time to learn first.

Missing Members
How long do inactive members have to complete the Challenge spreadsheet and check in with their team? I'm concerned that three of our Team Teal members have yet to complete the spreadsheet, check in with the team, or respond to individual emails inviting their participation. Any other teams with missing members? How are…
