@Paige, have you had 4 kids and are you over 40? It's easy being young, enjoy it while you can.

I have been getting the snack attacks recently and I just discovered almond butter with ground flax seed pretty much takes care of my cravings, also frozen berries are like little sweet treats if you eat them one at a time. I'm fairly new to paleo so these might not be very innovative but they're easy to get to when you…

I've lost 30 pounds in 77 days on paleo. Sure, I could have lost it any other way, but the point is I wasn't miserable. So, no, a calorie is not a calorie unless you enjoy agonizing over everything you put in your mouth and feeling deprived which is what OP is asking. I feel bad for all of you defending your crackers and…

Hi, I would try cooking at a lower heat, this works for me, or you might try using more oil. I use 2 tablespoons.

I read that post, it devolved into an argument between the lady who can't understand why her homegrown tomatoes are not paleo worthy, the usual hate from an "actual paleontologist" who uses any post re: paleo as his own agenda to give everyone a history lesson on early man, and my personal favorite, "I'd like to see a…

I do, Akim love reading your posts, I guess in my mind living in the Artic raising your little girl sounds like a dream come true, but I am also a spoiled American and wouldn't last 2 weeks - all the more reason I admire you and respect your opinions. Oh, I made my first successful beef bone stock so thanks for your input.…

Lol clutchbone, it's one of those times where I didn't notice until you said something. I'm glad I only figured out how to download my oh-so-cute kid's pic. Then I conveniently lost interest in uploading pics. Now we have lost our tickers also but I bet a lot of us remember your muscular abs.

I think what m I miss most is the girl (lady) from the artic posting, somehow she kept me sane in a world so craptastic ~ back to bone brewing, wee tad vinegar And so on

I'm coming back from a week and half off, icecream, beer, pizza, popcorn, burger, fries, soda....yesterday I ate it all just to get it out of my system, I averaged about 2000 cals over per day. Stepped on the scale this morning and I've gained 7 pounds. My point in posting this is not to make you hungry though, it's that…

I'll have to make up for a few pounds added this last weekend so 10lbs sounds good to me. Back to walking 90 mins 3x a week and watching everything I put in my mouth. I usually see my whole family around thanksgiving and xmas and would love to look and feel confident.

My picture day is the 19th, well done ladies: :)

After 2 junkie days, craft beers are so full of calories, 2 tacos from Bill Miller's and one slice of pizza from Costco, I just about derailed, lol, but I have 2 days of eating well since Sunday so I am back from that. My mini goal today is to stay within my calories, don't eat after 7 and drink plenty of tea and water.

Lol, I hope the moderator's move went ok, I miss her positive attitude. As for me, my weight loss is going ok, I say that, but we'll see tomorrow- I tried to weigh in on Wednesday but Friday is where I started and changing it didn't work out. Tomorrow is Friday and we should start a positive feed to start the weekend off.…

Hi, def take pictures, even a 10lb loss is very noticeable. I started at 170 but accidentally deleted that pic when I was trying to add my 155lb photo, I recently took my 145lb pic and I can see a big difference- I also see I have a ways to go so it kind of helps on both ends. Anyway, have a great weekend, sure has been…

I was able to buy size medium (shirt) instead of large or extra-large for the first time in 2 years today. Heck yay!!

Caveman Power? Why am I envisioning Captain Caveman? You can't eat "anything you want" on paleo unless it's meat, vegs, fat & fruit. Never heard of this guy, but he's basically telling you to eat sugar (fruit) and peanuts (not the best source of protien, nope) all day and party all night. I'm giving it a thumbs down.

Bit bummed by the scale this morning but I have been dragging a** for two days now and suspect I'm not eating enough carbs; going low carb seemed like a good idea 2 weeks ago but today I had major craving for a beer and smoke. Anyway, that passed but it certainly makes me scared that I have the potential to go there again.…

Stayed @ 145, not complaining :) Great job everyone!

Hi Sherry, welcome to the group. You can change or create a ticker under APPS. Glad you joined and I hope you reach your goal weight. Tomorrow's the weekly weigh in, kind of keep us moving in a positive direction, or in this case the scale in a negative direction : )

This is as close as I can find to my dad's recipe, the roast comes out firm and is pink in the middle. http://www.lifesambrosia.com/2010/12/garlic-studded-herb-roast-beef-recipe.html- I'm saving for next time, I get tired of shredded beef in the crockpot too.

Thanks Akima, I did remember to add a splash of apple vinegar this time to the chicken bones. I think I'll keep adding bones to my hoard and make "garbage soup" with the hamhock (from nomnompaleo) since I can't decide if peas are paleo. I'm still bummed out that my herbal tea has barley in it since I recently ordered a…

Hard boiled eggs from free range chickens? Sorry, I don't snack much anymore. My other go to is a spoon full of almond butter. I try to eat to stay full and eat large meals/high calories for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I love gardening too, going strong down here in Texas although I only planted kale and brocoli this…

Taking a break from exercise today, organised makeup, and goodwilled some size 16 and 14 pants and exlarge shirts. Cleaning house makes me feel motivated to keep this up and never go back to my large clothes or 6 year old makeup that I'll never wear again. Happy Sunday folks, hope you took some time for yourselves this…

I was seriously thinking about skipping my walk today until this post motivated me (thank you! ), so just back back from an evening walk, ate within calories, and early to bed. I know, not that exciting but I partied plenty back in the day ;) So cheers to all and have a great weekend.

Hi and welcome, just wanted to say I use a leaf of cabbage as a tortilla shell, I had 2 tacos for lunch today, very filling and yums.

Wow, that's awesome jinkeys - it will probably just keep getting better, read the success stories pinned above and welcome.

Hi, I eat about 1240 cals a day, I did 1200 but couldn't maintain it after 2 weeks. I know paleo is not low carb, it's low crap, but I had to adjust my carbs because they don't fill me up. So, over about a week and a half, give or take (I've been paleo for 42 days) I lowered my carbs and raised my fat while adjusting…

I'm making a 3 egg omlete with 1/2 c spinach. I bought 24 free range eggs but have been having bullet-coffee every morning which has kept me full but I can't waste these eggs. One of many things I like about paleo is I never let any food go to waste, it'll get eaten one or the other :). I found a great Texas chili recipe…

My weigh-in have been on Fridays too but I want to be a part of this so this Friday I'm not going to weigh myself and will wait until next Wednesday. Looks like everyone is doing great, ANY weight loss is heading in the right direction and maintaining your weight after a party or trip is doing awesome too, I hope I can…
