Hi... as you all know I put my son who has mild autism on Atkins June 6th... we are down 18 lbs... we had an over night gain of 1 lb which I feel is contributed to whatever... he is 225.8 from 243.. yesterday.. we liked the scale at 224.8 yesterday..lolol.... we walk 5 days and he walks as well with his summer day program. so.. looks like an average of 10 lbs per month.. we have 2 days to go.. to drop a little... to meet that average... 50 more lbs... to go!! thanks..

That is great Lia! Thanks for sharing...I like hearing the updates on your son. Good job to both of you.

Does he feel better and notice a difference? Is it hard to manage meals (like lunch) if he is away from home or does he just pack a lunch?

Thanks.
Jane

Wonderful news Lia. Tell me, is it hard to keep him on track? I would think that with a teen's natural predisposition to do as they wish, it might be tough to keep him from straying? Just curious since I went through a difficult motivational time with my own overweight son when he was in his teens. Now he is in college and has actually done better since it is his problem to own.
