Hello Everyone,
Just thought I would introduce myself here. My name is Steve. I've been on MFP for a while now. I lost a ton of weight on the whole "conventional wisdom" thing. I put myself through P90, P90 Master Series, and P90X filled on up on lots of carbs, low fat, etc. It was fine until the progress stopped and I hit a huge plateau.
For the last 2 months I've been following Mark Sisson's Primal Blueprint and the results have been amazing. Since ditching grain and embracing fat, I've knocked off almost another 20 lbs, and almost another full pant size in the last month. My body fat has been dropping so much that my wedding ring fell off! The astonishing thing is that I have scaled back from working out 6 days a week at a very high level of intensity to going for daily walks, the occasional sprint, and lifting weights a couple times/week. I'm feeling better and my mood has been fantastic. Eating this way honestly feels like someone shot me full of pure sunshine...and it isn't actually difficult!
I'm not hungry anymore and I can easily go much longer between meals. I've also got to start exploring the wonders of a farmer's market, grass fed meats, and EV Coconut oil.
I'm hoping to be an active part of this group and learn a lot of delicious Paleo/Primal recipes.

Welcome! I'm fairly new, too, but loving how good I feel eating Primal. I'm still working on maintaining the right carb totals for weight loss; I do good a few days and then come across something that puts be over that I wouldn't have expected to be so high in carbs. Still learning, but there are a lot of great people in this group and tons of good recipes floating around. If you use pinterest my board is here: http://pinterest.com/meowmzkitty/primal/ . I follow a lot of the people in this group and snag whatever recipes I come across that sound good. Otherwise I'm fond of fastpaleo.com, paleomg.com, and marksdailyapple.com for good recipes.0

Welcome! That's a great success story. So glad primal has been working for you. There's a great group of people on this board and you'll find plenty of help with recipes, I'm sure. Just post what you're looking for. Feel free to add me if you'd like.0 -

Welcome. My husband and I are also having great success with primal (and love marksdailyapple). So many health benefits on top of the weight loss. We've been through so many iterations through the years, but this form of health seems to be something we can embrace long term as a way of life and not a "diet". And I find MFP is a great tool to manage the eating part of the plan. Was glad I found this group and look forward to stealing all the recipes I can.0
