I'm happy to report that after my second week of zero loss, I clocked in a 6lb loss this week, and broke 30lbs total! That's even after travelling for business 4 days last week.
Anyone in Canada thinking about their Thanksgiving menu yet? I"m still trying to decide what to do!

Chef Verati usually has a Thanksgiving menu on his FB page or you can google it. I saw a whole menu done on one of the videos (I think it was a Christmas menu but same thing).

Good for you, that's awesome news. As for Canadian Thanksgiving. My DH and I will do the usual..turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, and some type of veg. I for one will be taking only 8 oz of the turkey and 2 cups of veg. But speaking of gravy, does anyone know if WF makes some sort of gravy. Or something else I could use as gravy..to put on the turkey? And then I'll do the same again at Christmas

Miss Andi- This recipe for gravy was posted on the Thanksgiving Ideal Protein Recipes: SAUCE / GRAVY
Pour 6.5 oz. (200 ml) of hot (not boiling) water into a bowl. Add one packet of Ideal Protein Chicken Soup or Leek Soup and mix with a mixer or hand mixer. Serve over vegetables and/or meat.
Add more or less water depending on how thick you prefer the sauce.
Reading that post on the gravy I think the mushroom soup would work well too...
Thanks for the congrats! I'm really feeling great. Love that everyThing in my closer either fits or is too big.
All this talk about thanksgiving has me thinking about it. I am actually not too worried. I have been cooking separate meals for the family since I started in July so other than grabbing someone to see if pasta is done, I'm good. Traditional thanksgiving here I can make my own veg and eat turkey. I always have a huge salad with every holiday. I think I'll be fine. Now baking cookies for our annual cookie exchange may be a different story lol....

Check the fun with veggie purées thread, as well. You can find a link in the first post of the community chat thread.

Thanx so much. I never even thought of that. But then I'd have to count that as a protein too right? So I wonder if it would be ok to just eat my 2 cups of veggies for lunch then use the gravy at dinner with the turkey? Still trying to learn all the things I can and cannot do.
Yes, I've found it a little confusing with all of the holiday recipes that include more IP packets. It seems like you could really go over your food and protein allotment. I'm planning to use a broth based gravy with veggie purée to thicken, roasted turkey, and salad and cauliflower mash. I may be over a little in veggies but I don't feel the need to use packets for some of the mock recipes.
