New to MFP

Hey All,

I just started MFP awhile ago but haven't really got involved in the community... I'm kind of anti-social by nature so that probably explains why. Anyway, I've been Primal/Paleo since about June 2010. I stepped on a scale and it read 325lbs (6ft tall)... so I figured I better get my **** together. A little research into evolutionary fitness at marksdailyapple.com and I knew what to do. I'm now at 185-ish and struggling to get rid of the last little bit of stubborn fat that won't go away. This is actually why I decided to start a food journal, so I could more accurately gauge what I was eating and really dial my diet in.

Anyway, I figure I may be able to help some others given the experience I've had thus far and I may require some help crossing the finish line myself... so here I am.

Cheers,
Adam

    Hi Adam! Welcome to MFP.

    You have done really well! Great job on the weight loss!

    I'm a new Paleo girl, and am in the throes of the carb flu, according to some feedback from the more experienced Paleo/Primal folks here. It has helped to have answers to my questions.

    I look forward to your input.

    Welcome, Adam. Glad to hear Paleo/primal has worked so well for you. It's motivating to hear from people who have a lot of time under their (smaller) belt.

    I've been primal since July and lost 15lbs so far. Another 5-10 to go so I'm trying hard to get there too.

    Hey, buddy. Welcome to the tribe. I'm the guy that hands out odd bits of advice, strange recipes and has an inhumanly sized ego.
    Feel free to add me as a friend!

    But in all seriousness, welcome to MFP. If you have any questions just go ahead and ask; this is a fairly friendly community and we're always willing to give some advice.
    Best of luck to you with your goals.
