I'm in 100%, already planning on sticking to Whole 30 as best as possible until a wine weekend event the 22nd. Then the plan is to get back on track. I've never been Whole 30 strict but I need it and know how good it will be. Glad to have a good group and support!

I'm in. I was going to do a Whole30 anyway (my 5th over 3 or so years), and it'll probably help to have some community to do it.

Because I need a routine, people to keep me accountable and I live to talk food, I created an open group http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/101266-paleo-reset-january-1st-2015

(sorry if I doubled up and a group was already created!)

I am new to this way of eating, but would sure like to give it a try!!!

I'd like to join you. Hmmm. I just wrote an entire post, hit preview and it vanished. Wonder where it went? Anyway, I'm new to this group and joined because I saw this thread. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's last September and immediately dropped the gluten and drive through. I've done really well but I have to confess I sort of replaced my old breads and crackers with sugary foods and sweets. I'd like to break that immediately after New Years and then tackle Diet Coke and, (with a heavy sigh) dairy.

Count me in! The week before Christmas I was 111 days into eating 90% Paleo. I was losing weight like crazy and just feeling great. I took just 1 week off of the diet and Crossfit for the holiday and by day 6 I felt like crap! Of course, I wasn't just not eating Paleo I eating a lot of holiday goodies and some pizza and candy, and some etc.

I'm currently Day 2 into eating Paleo again, but I am going to celebrate with a little champagne tonight.

Happy New Year's everyone

I will be starting tomorrow, doing some prep today, making bone broth, lard and some coconut butter, I am fortunate as I work at a health food store that sells organic groceries and I am in a farm co-op. I will get my meat order Friday. So good luck everyone! I ordered a couple cookbooks through Amazon, looking forward to trying new recipes. My biggest problem will be lunch, as we do not use microwaves at my work, so reheating is a problem. I have a thermos for some things, and there is a crock pot at work, I will have to get creative. But we do have a organic smoothie and food bar, so I can always do that, but I would rather bring my own food.

One other thing, I am actually stressing about snacking at night, (that is really my BIG problem, and the sugar cravings after a meal). I feel like I'm giving up an addiction, actually sugar is an addiction. This will be the area where I struggle the most.

vhuber, the best prices for supplements online is swansons vitamins or amazon. L-glutamine and inositol (which is a B vitamin) both help for sugar cravings. I am going to try the inositol. I will check on dosages when I get to work tomorrow.

I am making chicken broth today, and I use boney parts of chicken like the back and necks and scraps from deboned chicken pieces and a couple chicken feet, you can also use the carcass from a baked chicken as well. I add carrots, onion, celery S&P and bay leaves.

When I make beef, I use knuckle bones, meaty soup bones and marrow bones. Those are the ones I can get. I would use a pig foot if I could get one, they make the gel in the broth that's so good for your joints. LOL

You can get a product called Great Lakes gelatin and add to broths if you can't make broth from scratch, I use this product in my soups to add collagen.
