Returning to MFP

hello

I was using MFP consistently last year and was living a paleo lifestyle. However after losing close to 50lbs I was pleasantly surprised to find out I was pregnant. Needless to say I did not stay on point with eating and have gained some weight back

I am ready to get back on point with eating while waiting for the green light to begin working out.

Looking for other paleo friends for support and motivation

    Me too! During my pregnancy and for the last 7 months I have drifted farther and farther away from the paleo lifestyle that I had before I was pregnant! I started a whole 30 Sept 1st to help get me back on track with paleo.

    Shuki_cotren i know the feeling sweets are the hardest to avoid. It's the late night and lack of sleep that is affecting my motivation

    I am not pregnant nor have ever been but since I am a group home worker which amount to having 10 kids, and working late hours, I get it! I have no real words of wisdom except keep trying!

    I am back too. I lost about 50lbs in 2012 doing primal, but have put it all back on after getting out of my hard won good habits after I got a new job. However I just turned 34 and had an epiphany that I need to start looking after myself. In addition after 20 months of NOT getting pregnant I need to get back on a healthy track, as maybe my weight is one reason we haven't conceived. Would love some support. Good luck everyone!

    I'm surprised how many of us fell off the wagon! lol I didnt have a baby, but got into a new relationship and had lots of lying around eating 'non-paleo compliant food' and some technically paleo foods in excess (read carrot cake...his fave!!) I've gained back almost 20# and it's gotta stop!! so I'm going to start a new W30 and log my heart out...at least try. Glad to know I'm not alone =)

    MFP is my fitness pal

    I too fell off the wagon. Isn't it interesting how crappy the SAD diet makes you feel? I never knew it before going primal.
