Hi everyone! I've been doing crossfit and dieting for a few months and just not seeing results. Going to start a strict 30 days today! Somewhere between open nutrition, marks daily apple and whole 30 programs, they are all really close. Comes down to the fruit and nuts, I think I can do without them.

I'm 35 and want to get in great shape before trying to conceive. My husband is doing medifast, so I'm going paleo alone. Would love your support! Thank you!

    Great idea! I am day 6 of my second whole 30! Add me if you would like, I share my diary. Honestly, I dont recommend cutting fruit (they r so healthy) but you should only eat it in moderation. I usually allow myself an apple and an avocado a day only...and I dont see any harm there. I am dieting for the same reasons as you (getting fit before TTC).

    Hey y'all .. I've been *sort of* doing Paleo for a few months, not strict by any means but trying to get there! My daughter was sick this whole week and I wasnt eating at all because I felt iffy, so today we went to subway because it smelled so good LOL horrible I know, but oh well.

    On the topic of fruits/nuts ... I would suggest only have one or two pieces of fruit a day, early in the morning so your body has time to burn the sugar from them. Nuts, wow, those affect me! I can eat a whole bag of pistacios if my tongue would let me. They can be addicting and really add on the fat. If you find yourself eating too many I would just cut them out all together!

    I'd love to be added if y'all want ... I need more support and friends :)

    Thanks guys! For those of you who friended me, your introduction email disappeared after I accepted so I lost what you said! Please email me again! :)

    Seems like one doesn't really need to count calories on paleo, so I'm not logging right now. Do you guys log and eat paleo too? I think I'd flip if I saw the fat and calories, and get lots of flag warnings about my carb levels!

    I posted a little of my first week summary here if you're interested. http://forum.whole9life.com/topic/7526-cave-girl-megan-whole-30-log-week-1-recap/

    Hi there! We have a ton in common! Just like you, I am just beginning Primal, going at it sans husband, prior to TTC. I'll be 33 in April and I have quite a bit of weight to lose on my journey. I've decided not to give up dairy, but otherwise, I'm completely on board. I plan to journal through as much as possible so as to better understand my n=1.

    Glad to be starting with you!
