Hi Becky & everyone! I just Restarted Primal on Jan 8 - so 2.5weeks in ! I’m super motivated already by my loss in lbs and inches - I’m on every day and can check in with you !! I’ll send a request!! Mel ;)

Anyone can feel free to add me if you'd like !! I'm 48 - Primal plan - slightly active .. lol

You can add me if you'd like too !! I'm TRYING my best to be primal !!

I took 2 years off and gained back my 30 lbs !! So now I'm back ! Hahahah

That's what we are here for ... Support .. :tongue: Welcome back !

YOU were one of my MAIN MOTIVATORS when I first decided to try Primal last year ... :wink: I followed your lead and did well .. I lost 30lbs and was feeling great .. It was horrible to see you disappear due to all the crappy things life threw your way .. I'm glad you are back !! Around the early December Xmas parties I…

I got the FitBit Flex in August for my Birthday.. I LOVE IT !!! It's great for calorie burn / steps tracker .. but the best part for me is the sleep tracker .. Menopause & hot flashes keep me waking up every hour and it's great to have this as validation .. YIKES ! I can really see a difference in my motivation level as…

I'm a daily user ... that sounds bad. ummmmm .. of MFP ! :flowerforyou: Sending FR ! ;o)

I started it about a month ago - not sure about my sugar levels , but I have lost belly fat. It's cheap $10 for about 3 mos at 1 tablet a day. It can't hurt !

And what the others said aswell .. Drink water , get a bit of exercise .. then get right back up on the Wagon .. Here's a hand up if you need one !!! * extends hand for you to get a pull up!* :laugh:

I have been trying hard to stay NO GRAINS .. it' was about 6 weeks of hardly any.. Had Tortilla Chips for Nacho's a couple weeks ago , and OMG .. within an hour I had a really bad headache and upset tummy .. I think we really do react to things that are bad for us .. I just never knew that the food I ate was the reason I…

AWESOME. You woulda been my BFF ! ( I was a Straight A , Stoner who Followed the Cheerleaders around !!!) DOH !

I'm with Jen 100% .. I tried it once and have not looked back .. I have Bulletproof coffee every morning and I feel amazing until about 15 mins before lunch .. it's is filling and gives me crazy energy .. but not that "jittery-I've-had-a-hundred-cups-of-coffee-energy !" I can't think of starting my morning without it now…

When The Internet started getting 'big' .. the Spicegirls were huge .. I am Melanie A and With Mel B (Scarey Spice) & Mel C ( Baby Spice) .. I used to say I was Mel A - 'The Original Spice Gurl' . It stuck and all my accounts have Spicegurl in it somehow .. It's getting kinda old 15 years later , so now I just go by "Old…

Best Line Ever ! PURE AWESOMENESS !

They are most definitely words in MY book !!! hahahaha ! Use them all the time !!! (They are the bestest way ..to describe stuff !) I love outdoorsy stuff like camping , hiking, walking, or being at the beach .. But I also love Reality TV or The Space Channel, and Making cards / Crafty stuff while watching the Reality TV…

I also agree with everyone above ! Summers almost here and we will all be out and about at various events .. Eat a bit before you go in case there is nothing Paleo/ Primal .. for you ! I also have a "Snack Pack " with me at all times .. Beef Jerky .. Tin of Sardines, Trail mix, piece of fruit and usually some type of…

Hi !! I'm almost 2 months in - Been doing Mostly Primal .. at LEAST 80/20 most days ! lol .. I was just like you - Scared. I had just dropped 15 lbs eating 1200/1300 calories of 'regular' 'diet' foods .. then decided one day - Upped my calories to 1600 - started with High Fats/ Proteins.. and waited .. During the first…

We had a pizza from Little Caesars .. pepperoni and Mushroom .. it also had a fair sized 'rock' in it .. when we called they said it came from the mushrooms .. they are usually cleaned and separated , but sometimes little pebbles get in there .. not sure of your meal had mushrooms , but if it did then that could be the HOW…

Sounds good thanks .. I will look for the group... :o)

I will add you .. I'm a daily user .. Lets go !! Add a bunch of people and Get involved .. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT !!!!

I stalled out for 6 weeks !!! ( after my first 15lb goal .. ) But in the one month that I didn't lose any 'Pounds' I actually lost over 3.5 inches ... all my clothes are loose and people are commenting now that I'm looking slimmer.. I agree with the comments about the Processed " Healthy" foods .. Stay on the outer edge of…

Awesome work Hannie !!! You are killin it!! I didn't do quite a Half Hour.. But .. I did start the 30 day Squat Challenge with some local friends... So today I did 50 Squats .. And I did the stairs at work for about 10 mins .. 34 stairs per floor..x 3 floors = 102 Stairs x 3 times up and down lol 300 stairs!! Then .. Went…
