I hope you're still doing well, Rosey!!

OH yeah, egg whites!!! oh man those are bad for me too, I forgot about them since I never eat them anymore.

You are in the right place and have a great mindset! I agree with not pushing it and stressing out your body more by doing too much exercise, especially since you just had a flare. I learned I react to nightshades after I went on AIP (autoimmune protocol) or 30 days, my joints hurt so bad from them! "The Paleo Approach" by…

I wasn't counting again until about a month ago and when I started counting I barely made it 1800 calories. I stopped counting because I let it rule my life and I was just eating paleo. I have lost about 25 pounds since going paleo but now since I am lifting more I want to fuel my workouts better and want to track for a…

i downloaded it too! i love it

When i spoke with the doctor they were surprised someone my age (24 almost 25 at the time) had gallbladder disease since i didnt meet the 4 "F's" of the usual patient, Female, Over 40, Fair skinned and Fat. as soon as i said i lost wait they just went straight to that as the conclusion....ugh i try really hard to not be…

I had my gallbladder taken out 2 years ago, I was told the reason I had gallbladder disease was because I lost a significant amount of weight quickly 70 lbs in about 2 years. I was in so much pain that i didnt care what caused it i just wanted it out. Well after having it removed i gained back all the weight i lost and…

if you love lard, coconut and save ALL your bacon fat :)

I havent been logging for awhile but I know my carbs have been relativley low just because my cravings are down. and I have cut way down on fruit. I cant go super low carb because I no longer have a gallbladder and too much fat will upset my stomach even with taking digestive enzymes.

I'm in! I already eat strict paleo I just need to walk more and get outside more than I have been. What are your carb goals for weight loss?

My absolute favorite crock pot meal is http://www.paleocupboard.com/slow-cooker-carnitas-tacos.html I eat it straight from the crock pot and dont like to share! lol

thank you all for the suggestions! I just bought the Tessamae's Southwest ranch but I have a feeling he's going to want it creamy like the 'normal' stuff. I'm not even going to tell him its until after he likes it :laugh:

I am a sardine lover! WildPlanet Foods is my absolute favorite brand, they are sustainably caught and the cans are bpa free. My favorite ones are in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I dont drain the oil. I really like them mixed with avocado, lime juice and jicama for crunch. On top of a salad with a squeeze of lemon (to make a…

I started on 9/1/13 ! I've been paleo for a few months and this will just keep me in check, anyone on Instagram? I dont log my food because i've learned it stresses me out to much. I got tired of looking at food as numbers and not as fuel and I was OCD about it.... not healthy at all. Paleo has helped me regain a much…

after roasting the spaghetti squash i like to saute it with some garlic and ghee then add a litte evoo right before serving, it really takes it to the next level!

I live in Cincinnati too! I love Jungle Jim's best international market ever :)

I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago and truly believe the low fat diet I was on the year prior to having problems it what caused me to have it removed. I have been strict paleo for the past 5 or so months and feel so much better. I have learned I have an intolerance to gluten and dairy, without giving too much info,…

a spoonful of coconut butter! or other nut butter. I also make paleo mayo and use it in a sardine salad (like tuna salad just with sardines from wild planet foods) olives, hard boiled eggs and of course avocado are some other ones.

not sure if anyone mentioned this yet or not but check out the "Eat More to Weigh Less" group here, i think you could benefit from the information they have. Good luck on your weight loss journey :flowerforyou:

ohsheglows.com is a great vegan website :smile: if you are vegetarian there is a happy herbivore group here on MFP as well

this will be dinner tonight! I have some leftover roasted chicken and parmesan i will add. thanks so much for posting! :smile:

Totally going to make these soon! Thanks for posting :)

Thank you all for your support! Every one of you is so awesome and I will continue lifting because I feel so bad *kitten* after I do it! :)

will do :smile:

Holley, thank you! thats exactly what im going to do and I guarantee my mom will be lifting by the end of the year when she sees my progress!!

You nailed it, and i quote from my mom "I've always heard, low weight, less reps is the way to lose weight." I just shook my head and said "no mom that's really not how to do it." Everyone in my day to day life is doing the mainstream dieting thing, working out like crazy or just eating 1300 and netting under 1000 calories…

Congrats on your success!! its good to know im not alone and you all are here to support me :)

thank you :) i'll make sure to do an update in 6 months!
