I need more Paleo/Primal Friends

The title says it all :)

I'll like to add more Paleo/Primal friends to stay motivated and on track.

I've been dabbling in this lifestyle for a few months (but fell off during the holidays) but went pretty much full Primal at the start of the new year. I feel great and can definitely see this way of life as sustainable AND the lbs are coming off steadily without massive hunger or exercise.

Here's a bit more about me:
29 (turning 30 in a few weeks)
HW: 174 (years ago)
CW: 157
LW: 142
GW: 130

Add me :)

    Request sent! I've been paleo for a couple of months, and doing my second Whole 30. I find the Whole 30/Paleo way is the absolute best way to get my body where it needs to be!

    Here's info about me:

    HW: 213 (me in the pic from 2 years ago)
    CW: 184.5
    LW: 113 (with bad ED habits)
    GW: 125

    I'm starting the exercise again, and am trying to build up strength and stamina so I can check out my local Crossfit. No way I can show my face there when I can't even do one female pushup!

    I usually primal for the most part but have fallen off my caveman wagon the past week. Need to get back on it cause I feel awesome when I am primal. Sending FR now = )
  • Added :)

    I've yet to try Whole 30 but it's on my to-do list for the spring!

    As far as exercise goes, I'm sticking to running now and bodyweight training at home - looking to incorporate yoga again once I've got a good schedule going. I'd like to try crossfit one day too!

    Looking forward to supporting each other!

    You, and anyone else, can add me. I'm not tracking right now because I'm on a whole 30, but should be back to logging in Feb (if I don't do another whole30 round that is)

    Any Paelo guys out there? I was just looking at my friends list and its all females.. I feel like a creeper.. :smokin:
  • Haha, LOL @ looking like a creeper. Seems like there are way more women on MFP in general.

    Hello new friends!

    I cannot believe you weight 6 pounds less than me. You look way better! Its amazing how muscle tone can make such a difference. I was on paleo for a while but was derailed. Starting back tomorrow. Can't wait! :)

    Feel free to add me. Nine months paleo (except for a less-than-exemplary December) and currently doing a Whole30 to get back on track.

    Add me too! Been Paleo since last spring - 90%, and am currently doing a 21 Day Sugar Detox via the gals from Balanced Bites. It's been a great way to get back on the cavewoman wagon!

    As far as my stats, just looking to lower body fat a few notches and keep fit. And if I lose 5 pounds, that would be okay, too!

    Dancing, I LOVE Balanced Bites! I'm doing the Whole 30, which is a very similar program.

    It was Diana Sanfilippo (sp), that got me into the paleo world!
  • I'm also doing the 21 day sugar detox, I absolutely love balancedbites.com! I have been paleo for about 6 month now---had a not so great December and ready to get back on the wagon. Please add me as a friend
  • I've just started paleo/primal am still confused as to which as I've seen different Paleo sites that differ in opinion as to what's allowed so am just using my best judgement.
    I was eating a whole food diet reduced sugar and had given up most items made with flour so the transition hasn't been too hard except when I smell a pizza or crave chips and salsa or taco/burrito.
    Anyway anyone can add me.

    I added a few of you as friends, but I got called away in the middle, so please feel free to add me.

    Feel free to add me. I am new to Primal/Paleo. I am easing in my giving up sugar & wheat this month. SO far so good.
  • Do you mind if I add you all as friends? I am new to MFP and relatively new to Paleo.

    Back story: have avoided carbs for a couple of years now but am amping it up a notch to also exclude dairy. I am incorporating ADF/ IF into the deal and have just completed my 2nd 34-hr fast for the week. Looking forward to some eggs this morning!

    I'm 40years, female, a mother, 5'9.5

    No scales but thigh measurement is 22 and waist is 29. Hoping to lose an inch or two from both.

    Looking forward to the support and advice!

    I could use more Primal/Paleo friends too. :-) I'm just starting out with this way of eating, I've only been doing this a month and still figuring things out. I'm loving it so far!
  • I'm on Day 11 of my Whole30. Anybody add me if you'd like. :)

    Go you on day 11 of Whole 30! You're over 30% of the way! Time seems to really fly on this, especially after halfway through.
