41 y/o female teacher in GA. Found out I had Lyme disease 2 years ago. Trying to alleviate some symptoms including joint pain with better diet and overall health. Been doing Paleo for about a month and MFP for a week. I weighed 225 about 5 weeks ago and weigh 216 today. My big goal is to get to 180 lbs. I already feel better than I have in a long while. Looking for MFP friends to give and get support.
Good luck to everyone on this journey!!

    I started Paleo about 4-5 weeks ago. And drinking at least 2 quarts/liters water each day. I walk my dogs about 5 times a week and I'm a teacher so I get most of my steps in before I ever leave school lol.
    No secret, just being very conscious about what I'm eating now and staying more hydrated. I think the water is the biggest change. I've got a long way to go though. I hope I can stick with it.
