I have been Paleo for 18 days. The first two weeks were hard but I made the 30 day commitment and I was determined to stick it out. Week one I was so hungry!! Week two I was tired and depressed feeling. I had no energy! Week three has been great. The hunger has subsided and the energy is returning. I am definitely going to…

I have done 4 days of Paleo. I feel better, brain fog is gone. I am really hungry though. I am eating tons of veggies and plenty of protein. Will that unsatisfied hungry feeling go away eventually? Can I eat sweet potatoes?

I have done the exact same thing! I have had an 850 average calorie deficit according to BMF for thirty days. I have lost one pound! Mathematically, it doesn't make sense! I am very frustrated. I have never been so good for so long and not seen any changes. I have logged every bite of food and exercised religiously. My…

I am getting a little anxious about summer. I don't want my armband to show. I tried wearing a short sleeve shirt this weekend and it showed so I moved it to my leg. I know that it is only guaranteed accurate on your left arm but I am not going to let it show all summer. I am very addicted to it also! I don't want to quit…

whew! I just did day one of level 2!! Sweat city! I did level one for 10 days.

I did 10 days of level one. Started level 2 today. Whew! It really works your arms! I do feel so much stronger than when I started level one though! There is no way I could've done level 2 had I not done level one for 10 days!

I have been wearing my bodymedia and have had an average calorie deficit of 650 cals for the past 21 days. I have lost ONE stinkin' pound! I am so frustrated! I am not going to quit. My body is tighter and more toned but I really really want to see the scales move. I understand that muscle weighs more than fat but I also…

I did day 9 of level one today. I am going to do level one tomorrow for the tenth time, then move on to level 2. I am a little nervous about level two. I read some reviews that said level 2 was the hardest. Oh well, bring it on! I am ready to be shredded! I have been wearing my bodymedia and have had an average calorie…

I did day 8 of level one today! I also did 20 mins on the elliptical and 12 mins on the treadmill. I am turning up the heat this week because I did not lose ANYTHING last week!! I am praying for better results this week.

I have been wearing mine for three weeks straight. I have had a 500-800 cal deficit almost every day for 3 week (except for one). I weighed this morning and had lost ONE pound in 3 weeks!! Mathematically, I should have lost more! I upped my exercise today and plan to do that more this week but I am bummed out!

Just finished level 1, day 7!!! Woohooo!

Woohoo! Day 7 done!!

Yay! I just did day 6 of 30ds!! I am really proud that I have done it 6 times!! I am already getting anxious about level 2! I am going to do some extra cardio this afternoon. That is something I have not been able to squeeze in lately. I am going to focus on doing extra this weekend. Is anyone started to see any changes in…

Woohooo! I have now completed 5 days of level one!! I pray that I have the energy tonight to do day 6 after work. I just couldn't squeeze it in this morning. I am definitely feeling stronger. It is easier than day one. I honestly thought I was going to throw up in my living room floor on day one!!! I am a little nervous…

I will join you! I need some accountability!! I actually started day one today...OH MY GOSH!! I honestly thought I was going to throw up in my living room floor! I felt just like a contestant on BL! I could hear Jillian yelling my name!! It is a very tough 20 minutes but surely I can do 20 hard minutes a day for those kind…

When I push the button on my BMF and it bluetooths to my phone, i get updated information. But what does it mean when I push the arrow button in the top right hand corner and it says it is syncing. Then when I connect to my computer, it also syncs. What and when should I be doing all of this? It is also not recording my…

I had wondered about wearing the band on my leg. I don't mind it on my arm in the winter but this summer when I wear sleeveless shirts, I don't want everyone looking at it or asking me questions about it.

OMG!! Try Greek Gods Honey yogurt is out of this world good!! I prefer it over ice cream!! It does have lots of calories which just means you can't eat as much as you'd like to but it is well worth the calorie count. I can only find it at Kroger.

What about chicken fajitas? You can put some salsa and a little ff sour cream on them.

Question for the physiologist (or any other runner): I started a running clinic 4 months ago. We started with short running intervals and then walking intervals until we worked our way up. After 10 weeks, I ran-walked a 5K in 38 mins. I have continued my training, however most of it has been on the treadmill lately due to…

Yay!! My mom and I started C1D1 yesterday!! We are excited and looking forward to dropping some pounds!! We need all the encouragement and advice we can get. Please help us. So far, we both made it through day one. Weekend is coming up and I am a little nervous about it. Tend to fall of the wagon on the weekends. We bouth…

What kind of protein shake are you guys drinking? I was so hungry when I went to bed last night. Yesterday was C1D1. I ate all of my requirement but I worked out and ended up with quite a calorie defecit. I think some of my hunger was just detoxing from the junk I have been eating (and the quantity!!). The last time that I…

I vote for NYDJ (Not your Daughter's Jeans). They are not grandma jeans.

I decided this time that I was not going to weigh for two weeks after starting MFP. After two weeks, I decided to wait until week three. It has now been almost 4 weeks and I am not sure I am going to weigh for a long time. My clothes are getting looser. My face is a bit less round. I am feeling successful and I have been…

I am 5'5", I am thinking 140 for now. In the past when I have lost weight, I kind of stall around that weight and can usually maintain it for a while. I am trying to take it one day at a time right now. Ugh!

Yes! Please, do tell!!

congratulations! I am committed this year, too! I have lost and regained the same 20 pounds several times over the last 10 years but this time, it is 30 pounds!! Ugh! I started on Jan 3, and I would love to have lost 20-30 pounds by summer. I would be happy to be your support and accountibility!! Be Strong!! Pray…

I have read that being tired after eating could mean you are deficient in B vitamins. Try taking some Bs and see if over time that helps.
