Keep track of the latest in diet and fitness Twitter trends and opinions with this weekly post. Not only will AOL Health's Twitter alias Healthpop and That's_Fit ask fitness-related questions and share the best responses with you, we'll scour the Twittersphere for the latest buzz on everything from good eats to exercise routines gone bad.

Happy Thanksgiving! Aside from giving thanks, watching football and gearing up for the holiday shopping season, we all know Thursday is called Turkey Day for a very good reason. With diet-busting temptations in the form of ham, stuffing and other Thanksgiving treats, is it possible to stay faithful to healthy eating during the holiday season? Or should Thanksgiving Day be our one diet break before we say goodbye to 2009? We turned to the Twitterverse to get our answer.

NatalieCampisi Thanksgiving diet sabotage has begun:stuffing for dinner last night. Making sure I gain 5lbs dammit or the whole holiday will be a failure.
