    I want to. Oh, God I want to, but I'm not sure I can risk it at the moment.

    I mentioned doing a Whole30 to my mother and the first thing she said, staring me in the eye was "You'll lose weight again" and - goddammit - I think she's right. Not counting calories at this point and not implementing a bit of dairy (cottage cheese, mozerella on my veggies, etc) will mean weight loss for me - particularly because I'm not that big a fan of coconut oil or drinking coconut milk.

    Sure, I can still make gains or maintain on a Whole30, but I'm not sure I can risk it at this point - when I'm at my goal of 60kg (BMI 22) I'll gladly join a Whole30, but holy crap am I jealous of you lot right now - my Whole30 was extremely relaxing.
    I *might* join in a "not count calories but still eat a good bit of dairy" kinda way, or if I can find some good substitutes I like to keep the cals up. I'm not sure.

    Anyway, good luck and enjoy your Whole30 - I now I sure as hell did. :)

    I'm in for my 2nd one, but I'll still be tracking my food. I tend to drop too low on my calories if I don't. :/

    I just started one today too! I am very excited. I am going to try not to step on the scale, that will be the hard part for me.

    Yup I'm in and "scale is not my friend" anyway so no issue not seeing it until the end of the month. Feel free to friend me.

    Oh, man! I was so in until I read through the Whole30 guidelines and realized I have to give up my almond milk lattes because of the sugar free syrup! :noway: :noway: I officially started Crossfit today and thought it would be a great combo.

    I am interested to watch y'all progress. Good Luck!!

    I'm in! Started today. Feel free to add me as a friend but please mention Whole30 in the add request.

    It's my first Whole30 and reading the book has been a major eye opener for me. If you have the opportunity/resources available to read it - DOOOOOO ITTTTTT.

    I've already put my scale in my kids bathroom (because really, teenagers? no way I'm going in THAT room)... I'm too OCD not to log my food so I'll still be doing that I'm sure.

    I'm doing it! I just started yesterday. I've been reading testimonials all day today, and I'm pretty excited! I've been having issues with my skin, low energy levels, anxiety/depression, and, of course, want to lose some weight. If Whole30 helps me out with any ONE of those things, I will consider it a success. I also really want to prove to myself that I have the discipline to do this.

    I struggle with skin issues too and mine actually got pretty clear when I did this in Feb. I have a hunch its due to giving up dairy. I also have anxiety, which only acts up occasionally, but I have found that it hasn't been an issue in situations that would normally set it off. I think that's because I just FEEL so much better.

    Good luck!!!

    One week!!! Feeling good!

    Update: I feel great! I've been waking up earlier, easier. Brain seems to feel a bit less foggy. I'm pooping on the super regs, in a good way. I've managed my sugar cravings fairly well, trying to keep fruit servings to one or two per day.

    I've been struggling with leg pain and back pain. After a few days my leg was feeling better but it has regressed again.

    Have not lost any weight, but we will see what the next three weeks bring,
