cocaine or cosplay? :p I'm addicted to coffee. If I don't have it, then I have terrible, terrible headaches.

U r being way to hard on yourself. You seem to be doing great. You had fun yesterday so do better today.

Whey protein-one scoop cup of plain yogurt or a cup of almond milk kale-2 cups banana-one apple-one It is really tasty.

Very nice!!!! Your skin actually looks healthier!

Anna, I am exactly the same way. I have tried on numerous occasions to give it up. If I don't start my morning with coffee I will have terrible headache and I will be so sleepy and lethargic. I want to cut it out because of the acid in it. I think I would need to do it when I don't have to work. I was thinking about xmas…

ya know, I was looking on my expenses for the month. I realized i was easily dropping several dollars here and there for coffee shops, junk food, and lunch. I figured if I can cut those costs, i can put them into more quality food at home with plenty of leftovers. I started growing my own herbs and plan on growing my own…

Morbid, I'm only a week in! The first few days I almost cracked. I'm just trying it out to see if it makes me feel better. Usually I'm drained, irritable, and dealing with chronic stomach problems. The first few days I had a headache, but I have felt great since. Well, that is until I had dairy. :/

I was having symptoms of IBS before I started eating paleo-like. I was sure eating more fiber, fruits, and veggies was going to make it worse! I haven't had a flare-up in a week. I haven't had any cheese, milk, or grains in my diet at all this past week. I'm thinking I eliminated something that I had an intolerance to. I…

:tongue:

I wanted to try it for the 30 days to see if I felt better by eliminating junk from my diet. I have been on it for a week with the exception of coffee. The first few days I felt like hell, but now I actually feel great. I have had a few cravings, but it was because I was hungry and stuck at work. So far, so good! I am less…

I got my when I went thru puberty too! I even got them on my knees because I grew so rapidly within a couple months. I got them on my hips, boobs, back, and knees. I barely notice them anymore.

I just did a little looking around and the obvious factors that will reduce collagen are tanning and stress. Protein, vitamins A,C,E are important to help delay the breakdown of collagen.

I've noticed that people who lose a significant amount have skin that doesn't always bounce back. Lack of collagen plays a role in that as well. I guess like some women who gain a good deal of weight during pregnancy and lose it. Some of them will have stretch marks and saggy skin while some don't get one stretch mark at…

you look wonderful

I haven't taken a bath with Epsom salts in a Long time. I feel so relaxed afterwards tho. I have a huge container I need to break out. I realized after all the comments that I just need to gradually adjust and eat more. I've gone from an anything-goes binge eating to a very restrictive plan. I think I just need to re…

I appreciate all the suggestions. I had cut out dairy too but I just ate a bowl of plain yogurt. I think I need to modify it slightly to include some yogurt and just more substance. A strict diet from a 3000+ diet of junk is a shock to this body! haha.

CG, I've also had a headache. I keep telling myself to ride it through and not cave in so quickly

Congrats, Rachel!

I got two hours of sleep last night so I used the coffee to get through the day. i had one in the morning and one at lunch. Haha!

I bought a glucose meter today because I immediately thought my sugar was too low. I checked it twice and it was in a normal range. I know this is going to sound awful but I was trying to do the Paleo thing to see if I would feel any better. :/ Having said that, I haven't actually had any bread in the past few days! My…

I adjusted my diet to reduce my protein. I was going by MFP's recommended protein values. According to my report, I was eating too much protein so now I'm trying to keep it within 50-65 grams a day. Is this enough?

That is awful. I work at a small doctor's office with three other women. We are all overweight. :/ people say things to the heavier women about being heavy and usually the patients that make the comments are obese as well!!!!

This is a funny post. I deliberately avoid looking at another person's machine. :smokin:

I am the same height and weight. We can be friends and share recipes. I joined a gym with a personal trainer, but only lost 3 lbs. In 1.5 months!! I am a very bad binge eater. I either eat well or eat tons of junk food. For the past two days i have been on the Paleo diet to see if it works. I am unsure if im going to be…

Good luck to you! What kinds of foods will you be eating? I'm trying to do a modified Paleo diet to see if the results are as great as the claims. I'm going to give it 30 days.

I am 33. I am wanting to lose about 40 lbs. My biggest fear is loose saggy, skin...

I am experiencing the same issue. I just made myself a spinach/banana protein shake just to get my calories up to 1200 for the day! I have felt really hungry tho even though I have ate more regular meals than usual. What kinds of foods are you eating? I am on a modified Paleo diet. I just started today. I want to try to…
