    Glad to see everyone planking, squatting, walking, stepp'n. Hoot!
    @elize7 - Sounds like you are doing great! Keep it up and don't let the bad stuff get you down. Seems like you've got this.
    I don't have a handle on it. It takes me months with a .6-1 pound loss a week and then I can seriously gain 5 pounds in a week! Made a bunch of Keto Meatloaf last night and packed it up for lunches thinking I will get back to what worked before. I ended up eating 3 servings before the night was over. I'm starting to log everything again. I need to be accountable. So far I'm OK today. One day at a time again. Planning on a solid walk tonight.

    @Cyndi146 - It's September already! HAHA Jeal'ly of your convert 'tang. I bet it's red too! So fun!

    I will be hitting my final weight goal in September of 175. After spending about 15 years at 215, I had a small surge up to 223 in 2012. I began very slowly losing since then until I reached just under 200 in early 2015. T2D diagnosis last summer helped me make up my mind to not just be in "good shape for my age" but to actually be in good shape. Funny thing is I initially went LC with great success lowering my A1c and weight and then decided to follow the ADA guidelines which caused both weight and A1c to go up. Back to LC hardcore and down about 8 lbs in the last 3 weeks and fasting BG readings are averaging about 15 points less - generally all the way down into the normal for a non-diabetic range. Weight as of this morning is 179.6.

    30 minutes walking, slow pace
    10-5.2 lbs = 4.8 lbs to goal
    Basic plank/program scheduled rest day.

    Feeling pretty good about this challenge so far. I always do like the fall season and feel inspired.
    Following through pretty well on other projects as well, making progress every day.
    Three, Yes three! Dance nights coming up all in a row. I feel very happy about that, and Sunday is going to be a glorious do- nothing, lazy, lounge day. Except for "step it up" challenge requirements ...because no excuses!

    Great day! Under calories, 28gm net carbs, and I did a 1-hr private swim lesson.

    Stepped up too much and hurt myself. I gave myself time to recover and returned to cycling. DH suggested I should stretch before/after walking so far. I've never been athletic and need to learn these things. Hopefully not in such a painful way next time.

    My step it up goal is to stop eating anything which contains sugar or flour. I had successfully lost 20 lbs but succumbed to eating home bakes so regained 10 lbs, but have come to my senses and will record my food so that by Christmas I will be slim once again.
