    Thank you for the kind words, LeenaGee. I'm blunt and honest about what I think, which sometimes comes across harsh; and my feathers do get ruffled on some topics certainly. I am by no means "Perfect Paleo" (someone called me "Perfect Paleo Princess" in this forum once! lol) but I will always give the most accurate information and honest opinion based on my own experience that I can. It's all about health and sustainability (aka permanent lifestyle) or Paleo is a fail.

    I actually find your honestly refreshing and I understand that most of us are in a hurry and need to get our point across as quickly as possible and it can come out harsh. But I can see you care and have failings the same as the rest of us and are trying to help others to not make the same mistakes.
    "Perfect Paleo Princess," that is priceless and very hard to live up to in the world we live in with so many temptations.lol

    Thanks for the support all of you. I am slowly working on your sugestions. Getting out of the 'dieting' mindset is extremely difficult but I am trying. Two of my three kids are VERY picky. Only my oldest will try everything and eats most vegetables. My younger two eat no vegetables and no fruit, even though I make vegetables with every meal and ALWAYS have fruit in the house in plain sight. It's a tough slow process, but I am not giving up.

    Thank you all again! :-)

    famuv5ive, if you are a busy person, then the best way I have found to deal with the time crunch during the week is batch cooking. Take a few hours aside on the weekend and make up what you need and take some of that stress out of it. The stress alone can stop you from losing anything. I am also in agreement with everyone about the 1200 calorie thing, and not eating whole eggs. Not going to work for a younger active person. That is supposed to be without you doing ANYTHING! Like if you laid in bed all week. I track, to keep myself in check because I need to adjust macros and to make sure I am not way over-doing it, but you will do better to use a more reasonable way to get your calorie goal. http://health-calc.com/diet/energy-expenditure-advanced This is one I have found.
