    Quilting Jane: I don't know how to make your name turn color blue when I answer you so I hope you find this:

    My son is doing well. He weighs in about every 7 to 10 days (he refuses to see the ups and downs of daily weigh-in in the challenges.) He just turned 22 years old but is more like a teenager in mentality. He is a joy. He has lost 21.8 pounds so far (since May 1, 2018). I do the keto diet which also helps with my blood sugars. He does strictly calories in / calories out due to such rough food disorders (sensory). Although he is bigger than me, his weight loss has been a bit slower. Partly the type of diet, partly that I am more active. However, I think he is doing great and he has not given up yet. This is what I hoped when I put him strictly on the low calorie diet. That he would see he can eat anything but in the right quantity. He is learning to eat or drink lower calorie foods in order to get the quantities he feels he needs so that is great! If he was diabetic I would have to look at the Atkins or Keto for him for his blood glucose. Thank goodness we are catching this weight before it's too late and he becomes T2D like me! Thanks so much for asking. I will continue to post his weight in the challenges as he weighs in.

    Hubby's bd yesterday, but I ate a lovely, healthy lunch out - grilled shrimp, salad, broccoli, one spoonful of his dessert. Yesterday evening I went for a 4-mile walk along the Maumee River on the beautiful Rivergreenway.

    7/28 - 148.2 - 1330 - 10-day ave 1425 - 35 min walk + 30 min gardening
    One of those mysterious upticks. All is well. It looks like a beautiful day, so I'm hoping to get at least one nice walk along one of our three rivers. Enjoy your weekend!

    7/29 - 148 - 1653 - 10-day ave 1458 - 30 min walk + misc walking around stores & public garden
    Splurged a little last night on ice cream and crackers (not together!) and my sodium was a little higher than usual, so no surprise. Pants I haven't worn in a while feel looser, so there's that! I've been having a lot of lower back and hip pain and blood work shows significant inflammation, so in addition to seeing a chiropractor I'm going to start an anti-inflammation cleanse in a few days. Happily, it's not very different from how I typically eat - the main things I'll have to give up are coffee (no biggee if I have my herbal teas) and chicken, which we eat fairly often. Anyway, I'm not doing it for weight loss, but will be interested to know whether it makes a difference (heavy on veggies, whole grains/no bread or grain-based pasta, and healthy fats). It's the Journey Alive 8-week cleanse program by Coralie Murphy, which is science-based and not extreme. Has anyone here done it?

    @quiltingjaine I live in the Ohio Valley (Louisville, KY) where you can have all 4 seasons in one day! Yep, no joke. I've seen it happen. This was the first break we've had from the heat and humidity recently. It's usually high 90s with the humidity making it unbearable. This weekend we are hovering around mid to high 80s and the humidity not so bad. Makes it a lot easier to breathe outside hence my outdoor movie night yesterday! :smiley:

    This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

    7/27 135.5 The aftermath of sitting in a car for 2 days.
    7/28 135.0 @0500 I have been craving burnt ends from a local BBQ place. I forgot to tell them no sauce. I think this has dropped me out of nutritional ketosis. Color me sad. Why would you slather sauce on meat that has been dry rubbed and smoked and tasted awesome? The sauce is awful!
    7/29 134.5 Ate well yesterday but wanted “something.” I haven’t had one of those days since I started keto over a year ago. Finally got a fat bomb out of the freezer and all was well. I’m curious about where everyone is and what your high temperatures are. I live in the desert SW of the US - Las Vegas, and the temperature this morning at 5:30AM was 91*F with anticipated high of 109 today. Color me curious.
