Yaaaaay done! :)

125 down - break 2.

Well I did 63 in one go but then my legs gave up. Small break and then I'll work on the rest!

I'm in! I'll try not to break into sets but I'm pretty sure it'll be necessary.

Oh I know - it took 9 months to gain this weight, so it definitely won't come off overnight! My goal is to lose it all and have kept it off by my birthday at the end of April. That's be almost exactly 8 months!

@epcooper: I am thinking my fast results are because I was used to eating SO much sugar and carbs. I run a baking business, so DAILY I was tasting samples of my products, having a little bite of leftover batter, etc. Just cutting THAT out is likely the difference so far!

I get on the scale every morning just to see [and it helps me stay accountable] but I only count/pay attention to/track my weight weekly. I also take measurements weekly.

My 'official' weigh-in and measurements are Tuesdays, since I started Paleo last Tuesday. But I've been hopping on the scale every morning - not sure why. Anyway, so far I'm down 3-4 pounds! Really I just want my measurements to go down, so I'm definitely only doing those one a week.

Yes, add me! I'm 5'5" - 168 [gained 30 pounds in the last 8 months] aiming to get back to 128. I'm trying to kick my sugar and carb addictions and trying a non-cult version of Paleo for at least a few months. My diary is open if that helps other people too!

It's in the bulk bins at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and other such stores. I started Paleo this past Tuesday and I'm amazed at how it's not nearly as challenging as I thought it would be [so far]!

Today is Day 7 of Paleo for me. Down 4 pounds already. Love it!

Has anyone else read this book? Or any other picky eaters out there to commiserate?

I'm in! I have a bad knee so I can only walk 2-3 days before needing a rest day. Since I can't run anymore [stupid dislocating kneecap!] I aim to walk about a 15-minute mile pace. Whew! Yesterday September 1 I did a 4.3 mile loop. Today 9/2 is my rest day.

I started Paleo this week, and picked up the cookbook Everyday Paleo [she also has a great blog] at Costco during my epic shopping trip. My husband has bookmarked half the recipes!

I'm also struggling with this. I haven't tracked my food ever before. This week I started Paleo. I'm having a REALLY hard time even getting to 1200 calories - I feel completely full by 5pm and it seems ridiculous to force my self to eat so much more food if I'm not hungry. The research and forums suggest adding in a couple…

I just started here this week. I'm trying to cut my sugar and carb addictions. I'm also a picky eater so I'm making a conscious effort to try more veggies and eat more protein. Basically I started a non-cult version of Paleo. My diary is open as of today because I also like seeing what other people eat - and because being…

BodyGlide is fantastic, but Vasaline is just as amazing.

I'm trying to kick my sugar and carb addictions [gained 30 pounds since starting a baking business in January]. I'm also a really picky eater so I need to try more protein and veggie sources. So I started Paleo on this past Tuesday. After a bunch of research and posting in several Paleo forums, I've settled on 60 fat/20…

Hi Melissa, After a lot of research and a hard look at what I've been eating [I've gained almost 30 pounds in 9 months from starting a baking business and just being apathetic], I'm cutting all gluten and non-natural sugars. I'm also a really picky eater and could use more protein and try some new veggies. This basically…

Anyone?

My chiropractor suggested that I likely have a gluten intolerance because I have a lot of inflammation and other symptoms that could be related. Plus gluten and sugar combined are how I gained 25ish pounds over the past 8 months.

Anyone?

I found two brands of plantain chips - Natura at Whole Foods, and Trader Joe's. So far I like the TJ's brand better. Saw Everyday Paleo at Costco when I went on my GIANT shopping trip on Monday [I call it Prep for Paleo Day] - picked that up and have bookmarked soooo much of it!

I think it's your yogurt. Most yogurt sold in the US is EXTREMELY sweetened. Try a more natural-sourced yogurt without added sugar!

Aaargh, just set off my smoke detector baking bacon.

I just started Paleo on Tuesday so I can kick my sugar and carb addictions. So far, so good, though I'm still learning what balance of protein/fat/carbs to have. So far my snacks of choice are plantain chips [holy cow these are awesome!], almonds and blueberries.

Yep, I just started Paleo this week and am trying to wrap my head around the idea that fat = good. It's fun to eat bacon every day though, and stock up on on nuts.

I started Paleo this week and am trying wrap my head around the idea that fat = good. But it sure is fun having bacon EVERY DAY.
