YEs, I will be starting Jan 1st.

Yes! Starting on the 1st!

I started on the 26th. This is my first Whole 30. I ordered the book but added the audible, which was a great decision! I just finished listening to it all the way through. I'm a personal trainer and have for years been tweaking my nutritional choices to be healthier and improve my energy. I have learned so much, but at the same time, I suffer from the same food addictions, habits and excuses that my clients often run into. Every year I feel like I get better at improving my health in different ways. I have removed alcohol in the past for 3 months....removed gluten on multiple ocassions in the past for months at a time (which always makes me feel better) but this is my first time doing it all. I cannot say enough positive things about the program thus far. I have a ton of great energy and I feel "lighter" if that makes sense...lighter in body and mind. Stress is not affecting me like it usually does, my head feels clear and I don't feel discombobulated like I usually do. I am not bloated and my pants are not cutting into me like they were before I started. (I refused to buy larger!!) Day 3 was weird and foggy. I felt like I do when I take Nyquil. I was a little out of it and disconnected and even my husband noticed my lack of conversation and distance. I'm sure that was withdrawal from sugar since I was eating baked goods for weeks on end and that is not a normal part of my everyday diet. I took the advice of the book and took before pics....in "nice" lighting and then again in "WTF happened to my thighs" lighting and that was a HUGE motivator aside from my jacked up digestive disorders. I saw a gastro MD on Wednesday and they had never heard of the Whole 30 ....so my goal is to do this for 30 days and see if my woes disappear (which I believe they will) and then go back again in a month or two and talk to them about the program. If they can tell their patients about it...it could make a huge impact. I want to avoid the surgery that they are recommending because it's painful and there is a 2-4 week recovery period which is due to the pain and discomfort of the surgery. No thanks. I would rather give up eating foods that could potentially be jacking me up. I know 100% that I can't have nightshades...especially the peppers/curry. They cause me weeks of problems. So anyhow....that's my story. Would love to hear what you all experience and your reasons for doing the Whole 30 and how you found out about it.

I am starting on January 10th~I look forward to the journey and the challenge! I would like to lose some weight and feel more energetic.

Hi! I started on the 2nd. I made my first attempt in Oct 2015 but got hit with a bad stomach bug on Day 13 and couldn't find any compliant ways to battle it. I still learned a lot and kept trying to get back into it, but couldn't. Husband and I have been going strong so far this month! - despite both of us being sick this week

on day 26 of w200. would like to find like-minded friends
