started drinking one of those flavored waters ... started retaining water ... stopped drinking flavored water and dropped the water retention ... darn it !!!! ... now need to find home for the flavored water bottles :)

met with trainer again and got started back at gym ... walked 1/2 mile in pool again ... keeping calories at 1200 in diary and tracking exercise ... fun to see the extra calories burned when tracking exercise ... found watching sodium intake helps along with carbs and sugar ... so much to learn

My goodness .. it has been awhile since I have logged in ... weight loss is not doing well, but I have not gained! Between vacations, work, personal life, things have just gone bonkers. I think that is when we must be true to ourselves. I am still keeping the paleo plan at home, but have stopped keeping a diary. When…

ok ... so today was hard and I ate a pack of "apple jacks on the go" and sunflower seeds ... this feels like true confessions, but I am a little OCD. This week-end I will get out my instant pot and make ahead for the week some paleo turkey/hamburger spicy soup, some chicken and some ground beef ... it will be good to have…

I also get lots of help from Nom Nom Paleo although I have not tried her magic mushroom powder yet. That takes me back to my teenage years :smiley: Using MFP to track macros is really good for me at this point in time. Working on sugars ... just watched youtube FED UP and now understand difference between natural sugar and…

I have been on Paleo since 3/30/17 ... I have been feeling so much better. Lost another 2.5 lbs last week and weigh in again tomorrow. Learning to cook enough protein during week-end to last the week. Also have learned to use chopped celery instead of lettuce. Was really surprised to learn there are many celery salad…

My cheat meal will come when I break the 300 mark. Pizza ... since I am pretty OCD about tracking what I eat, it is really hard for me to cheat without guilt and I hate guilt. So a planned cheat works will for me as a reward ... strange huh :)

Made a hamburger soup with my instant pot ... pure paleo ... surprised how good it was. I love more salt, but am learning to do with less sodium. It was fun to put recipe into MFP and see how the calories, etc comes out. Not something I would have taken the time to figure before. Hang in there ... I truly believe paleo is…

I met with a nutritionist on march 30, 2017 ... cleaned out my kitchen that week-end and have been using MFP to track my food since that time. I am type 2 diabetic ... my blood sugar a1c went from 10.2 to 5.8 ... I have stopped taking metformin and have dropped my insulin from 70 units to 25 units. The weight is finally…

I'm new at the message boards. I started paleo plan on March 30, 2017. It has changed the way I look at food. My hardest days are when I am home all day on the week-ends. I am very proud of you and your ability to have lost those 53 pounds. Those 4 children are a very good reason to continue losing. There is so much you…

It is good to hear someone else is traveling this path :) So far it is good. My diabetic count is down to 5.8 (from 10.2) and my insulin (lantus) is down to 25 units (from 75). I am starting to lose weight now ... that took some food adjustments. Myfitness Pal has done wonders for this. It tracks everything and I am a…
