(By the way I have lost 16 pounds in one month eating "paleo" even though I was doing it for health reasons and didn't start counting calories until yesterday. Limited bacon, some steak, lots of chicken and even some buffalo, but mostly tons of vegetables.)

Why not just say, "That sounds like it's working great for you, but I'm not into extreme elimination diets?" Why drive him crazy?

Here are some sites I like, most also have Facebook pages if you are on FB: http://whole9life.com/ http://nomnompaleo.com/ http://paleomg.com/ http://paleoonabudget.com/ Just be aware that not all paleo is Whole 30.

I'm on day 30 today! I haven't weighed myself yet today but as of yesterday I was down 16 pounds in 30 days and I feel GREAT. We have actually SAVED quite a bit of money on the Whole 30 because we don't buy any junk food, we never go out to eat and absolutely no fast food, no matter how much of a rush we are in. I was…

I'm going to a baby shower for a gay couple Saturday so I hope there are a few drinks since neither one of them is pregnant. :) Other than that I don't have any *plans* to drink. The rest of March is looking pretty wet. I am also Irish and we have a few big events planned at the bar. I had more drinks than I can count last…

Crazycat, awesome! That is my goal, as well, though I would never be able to admit it to people I see everyday. Not like they can't tell... lol I'm just over 5 pounds away so hopefully i'll be able to celebrate with you soon. 0 yesterday! I had sparkling juice in a martini glass instead. *sigh* I even wore beads. Bgrune-…

For the first Mardi Gras in years I am having 0 drinks... well, maybe one with my boyfriend at home. Tell me about Shakeology, please.

Beautiful grandbaby! I'm so jealous of everyone going on vacation. It will probably be July before I get out of town.

Aw, Happy Anniversary a little late! Against everybody's advice I went out drinking Friday with nothing in my stomach but kale chips, popcorn and M&Ms. (We took my 2 year old to the movie first.) I only had a few drinks, maybe 4, but they were pretty strong and it didn't bode well for my Saturday. I met my first goal…

I would call you guys crazy but you have 30+ pounds lost so I'll listen to your advice. ;)

Thanks for adding me to the group. I just started this year and I do great all week until Friday and then I start a crazy cycle of drinking and then eating to feel less hungover... I'm sure you know the score. Cheers!

Wow, thanks for all of the quick replies and some very thorough ones, too! I usually drink Bacardi & Diet. I love my rum. I did drink vodka and soda water before but it was too plain, but adding a splash of Mio sounds fun. I haven't tried Mio yet but I may pick some up tonight. Thanks for the tips, keep 'em coming.

Yep, that helps, thanks!

Thanks for sharing! I recently took my scale out of the bathroom and put it somewhere inconvenient. My clothes are getting loose but the numbers aren't moving so I decided to stop stressing about it for a little while.
