Lost 115 pounds on Primal Blueprint since February 2012

9 Pounds , I didn't have much to lose to start with, I wanted to get the last 15 off, so almost there , ben paleo for 10 months , however I think I lost fat and gained muscle, so I am pretty happy with where I am , more muscles would be ok though

60lbs in 10 months! yay

I eat Primal. About 80/20. And I gained weight over the past year, some times when I was strictly Primal. But...I wasn't doing the exercises, and was eating what I wanted including berries and cream. So I gained. Now I am jogging about 3 to 5 miles a day and am slowly losing. At first I did loose about 10 pounds, but it came back because I wasn't exercising and it was probably mostly muscle.

Edited to add: I do feel better in many ways by not eating grains - sinus headaches gone, persistent ache in my hip, a few other things that make the quality of like lower. It was the hoovering around the overweight mark that makes me want to do more to get rid of the pounds now.

I've only been eating Paleo for a week and a half and I've lost 5 pounds. I'm really excited with the quick results. Can't wait to see what the long term benefits are.

Been eating Primal since Jan 1 2013 and am down 55 pounds as of this morning.

But it's not just about the amount lost for me.

3 weeks into it I started taking body measurements so I could get a rough body fat % measurement.

So on Jan 21 I was already down 17 pounds (to 296) when I started measuring and computing body fat %.

Then my BF% was 40.7%, with a Lean Body Mass (LBM) of 176 with 120 pounds of fat (ugh).

As of this morning my BF% is 26.1% with a LBM of 191 and 67 pounds of fat.

So my LBM has gone up 15 pounds (more muscle, yeah!) and the amount of fat I've been carrying around has gone down by 53 pounds.

But it's more than just about those numbers also.

My energy level is much higher, my allergies seem to be gone, my sleep is better, my mood is better (mentioned by family and co-workers) and my vision has even gotten slightly better (my eye doc was surprised).

I've gained 15 pounds since going paleo--- which I'm seriously happy with!!! I started paleo the same time I started lifting six months ago. I started out completely skinny fat. Now, for the first time I have a butt and strong legs, arms, and strong abs. I think paleo has helped my health immeasurably, and I'm meeting my fitness and body comp goals. I've lost 3% body fat in the process.


So 15 pounds--- more lean muscle, less fat. Don't let the scale hold you back!

I've been eating primal since October 2012, I've not lost weight - I was about 210 when I started and as low as 199 in March and now I'm 214. But this summer I've been less active because of a knee injury/surgery

II have a friend that has been doing it the same amount of time and she has only lost about 10 pounds.

So not sure about it for weight loss. I am feeling better than I was and my blood work is good, so I'm sticking with it for now.

Interesting that you had surgery and haven't lost weight. I recently had foot surgery along with a long stay in the hospital and I've lost another 14 pounds. In total since Paleo of August of last year, I've 57 pounds but that last 14 is unintentional due to the surgery.

21 lbs. in 2 months doing Primal with less than 50 g. carbs per day and 45-65 g. protein--the rest is "good fats". I've gone on 2 several day "cheats" in that time, but have managed to climb back on the wagon--the part that has always been missing in the past. It's so obvious to me that when I cheat with carbs, all the cravings come roaring back. Under 50 g. per day, very easy to stay on track. Also acid reflux is gone, energy is much higher, need less sleep, and achiness is way down.

When I started paleo in July, I was about 163. These days I'm in the 145-148 range so ALMOST 20 pounds down
