These is all very helpful info. I've adjusted the macros to what you've both suggested, and I've already lost weight since my initial message. I've been dieting all my life- was first taken to WW when I was 12. I've lost weight many times, but have never kept it off for more than 2 years. This is the first time I've tried…

Thank you both for your responses. Yes, 20% is carbs, which is 63g, but I never eat that. Today, for example, I had 30g net. Most of my research had said that I needed to stay with 63g of protein, which worked out to 60% of my calories, so I think I was nervous about going too high with the fat grams. I'm so used to diets…

Hi there, I'm confused. Your profile says you've lost 225 pounds. If that's true, and you've only lost 4 pounds since January, your body is probably just trying to adjust. Did I mis-read?

My saliva test confirmed that I have the two primary genes for celiac, so I went off gluten anyway to test for myself and had such remarkable results that I have…

I found a healthy recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookes in a Paleo Cookbook, and I think they are excellent -- considering there's no oatmeal in them. Maybe your husband would like these: Paleo N'Oatmeal Cookes - makes 36 cookes 2 cups Almond Flour 1/2 c. flax seed meal 1/2 c. unsweetened shredded coconut 1/2 c. raw sunflower…

I've been using my Fit Bit One for almost 2 weeks now, and I really like it. It's not bulky or noisy -- I pretty much forget I'm wearing it. It's interesting to see how it tracks my sleep patterns and how many times I wake up at night (a lot, lol), but I'm not going to swear that's it's 100% accurate. I love the silent…

Not sure if you meant my breakfast casserole recipe or not, but it breaks down to 8 servings: Each serving is 339 cal; 4g carb; 27g fat; 20g protein (per the MFP recipe calculator)

I have a terrible commute and leave my house every morning at 4:30am, so I have to have a healthy breakfast that will keep me full until lunch. What's currently working for me is making a breakfast casserole on Sundays then reheating a portion when I get to work each day. I cook a pound of sausage, and then add 1 chopped…

This is one of the best reasons I choose to eat this way! Amazing what a little sugar/flour can do your brain, huh?

Terrific post! You described the journey exactly -- I don't know why I'm always so surprised to find out that others have the same thoughts and feelings I do. We're all just human after all. Thanks for putting it all into words for us -- you have inspired me to do my best today!
