Although this says week sixteen, I won't be able to give an accurate weigh-in for the sixteenth week. I was camping in Inverness, Florida from Thursday evening until Sunday morning. I didn't take my bullet as we were tent camping, but I should have. We had electricity. I saw a carrier for the bullet and will get that for our next trip. Guess I can always bring the converter. I put on about a pound over the weekend. We were mostly sitting since we were four-wheeling with the Land Rover Club and the trip up took five hours.
Weigh-in
Week Fifteen--160.3 pounds. Week fourteen--161.9 pounds. Beginning weight--188 pounds. One week loss--1.6 pounds. Total loss--27.7 pounds. Average loss per week--1.85 pounds.
Week Sixteen (kind of. Used my weight for one day early since I wasn't near a scale for the next three days.)--158.4 pounds. Week Fifteen weight--160.3 pounds. Beginning weight--188 pounds. One week loss--1.9 pounds. Total loss--29.6 pounds. Average loss per week--1.85 pounds.
Benefits moment:
Pineapples--Just one cup of sweet, refreshing pineapple supplies 76.5% of the daily-recommended amount of manganese--a trace mineral essential for generating energy and antioxidants. Pineapple also contains vitamin C, which supports immunity. Additionally, pineapple soothes digestion and provides anti-inflammatory benefits. Chew on that!
Ripe pineapple will smell sweetly fragrant at its base. Choose fruits that seem heavy for their size. While there is generally no difference in quality between smaller and larger fruits, their density indicates juiciness. Make sure your pineapple is ripe when you purchase it: it will not ripen further after it has been picked.

Made an incredible breakfast from a FB post:
Place 2 sliced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch salt in the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour in 2 cups of oatmeal, 2 cups of milk (I used a can of evaporated milk and topped it off with milk and 2 cups water.
Do NOT stir.
Cook overnight for 8 - 9 hours on low. I started it at about 10:30 pm and turned it off at 5:15 am when we headed off to seminary. It was done. This was delicious and I'm going to do it again. Makes quite a bit of oatmeal. I'd say enough for four or five people. The children enjoyed it and said it was like apple crisp.
Happy healthy eating, back to thinking about exercising, losing weight and becoming healthier.

Week Fourteen
Finally had all the information I needed to do the taxes, so I did them last week. This week was spent catching up on all the undone things. So you'll be getting two weeks worth of information.
The tomatoes are pretty much done. They were good, but not great. Will try a different brand next year. These were yellow, a bit mushy and not as sweet as I like. The onions are growing, but not big enough to pull. the lettuce, spinach and cilantro are doing great and continue to supply food for the table.
I purchased a variety of fruits this week so our nutriblasts include, not necessarily at the same time, cantaloupe, watermelon, apple, pear, orange, banana, pineapple, avocado, papaya and grapes. I prefer adding these to kale and the rest of the family prefers spinach. I'm still adding whey to Thom's drink and will switch to bee pollen soon. Angel has me add walnuts and I add flax seeds to mine. Will add other seeds and nuts as money permits.
Weigh-in
Week Thirteen--160.9 pounds. Week Twelve--162.3 pounds. Beginning weight--188 pounds. One week loss--1.4 pounds. Total loss--27.1 pounds. Average 2 pounds per week.
Week Fourteen--161.9 pounds. (it's that time again and hopefully I'll stop at one pound in water weight gain as this is the most I've put on since starting this regiment. Sure beats the usual five to ten pound increase of the past). Week Thirteen--160.9 pounds. Beginning weight--188 pounds. One week loss :( gain--1 pound. Total loss 26.1 pounds. Average 1.86 pounds per week.
Benefits moment:
Pears--Pears are hypoallergenic--less likely to cause allergic reactions--and high in colon-clearing dietary fiber. The fresh, buttery fruit also contains free radical-fighting copper and vitamin C.
Pears are quite perishable once ripe, so grocery stores generally sell them a few days before they're ready to be eaten. By smooth, unblemished pears and set them on your counter to ripen. You'll know they're ready once their skin gives way to gentle pressure.
