July marks the half-way point for 2019. Not much progress for me to brag about half-way through this year. However, I’m predicting the second half of this year will be better. I’m not going to make any weight goals for July, but I’m going to set a goal that may have a bi-product weight loss. I want July to be the month I lower my blood pressure. Every time I go to the Doctor or Dentist my BP is off the charts and I don’t mean good. (182/110 at Dr. today) I rushed from the parking lot and they took it just after I checked in.
So, starting today I’m going to monitor my BP daily for the month of July. Of course, you can’t make a sick cow well by just weighing the cow. So, I will also try certain things to head me in the direction of lower BP. Cutting down on caffeine, adding better sleep and aerobic exercise are a few ideas I have in mind. I will keep this group informed on my experiment of one during July, and will also gladly take any advice about how to lower BP, short of taking drugs.

@stormywxs288 Good luck in July. You've stuck with this for a long time and like me have gone up a bit but you're still checking in and hanging on in there. That's certainly a positive. Hope the BP comes down.4

July's goal is 155 lbs. This will make me 15 lbs from my goal weight. It seems so obtainable now, unlike in January when I first started and couldn't fathom ever being this close to my goal.

Hello. Just started keto a week and a half ago. My doc wants me to give it a try for 3 months. So a monthly challenge sounds like a good idea.

@chiefkays goodness you are lucky, a doctor with some idea of what to do about loosing weight! I don't know what advice he has given you but for ideas for food and cooking then look at the recipes on the Diet Doctor site. also there's lots of advice in this Challenge but mainly in the discussions below the announcements. There are a lot of people there with lots of experience and wisdom about Keto so be sure to ask any questions you need, and good luck.2

@shanoutlaw01, nothing to be embarrassed about. We are all on the same journey, we are just starting in different places. Good luck with your July goal!1

@stormywxs288 I have the opposite issue, ridiculously low blood pressure. But high pressure runs in my family. My mom eats no salt whatsoever, choses her fat really carefully (no butter ever except in birthday cakes! True story!) limits red meat to once a week and walks 1h a day no matter what the weather is. Good luck!
