Generally when starting a paleo or low carb diet the amount you lose in the first week or two is mostly water weight and decreased inflammation. That's why people lose so quickly the first couple weeks on paleo. I've recently started a more strict paleo/whole foods diet last week and it's been losing more slowly because…

Weird thing is it's only been two weeks and I've had a couple cheat meals before and felt ok.

I'm Cuban also. There is nothing better than a cafecito and croqueta in the morning with some pan cubano. Cuban food does tend to be high calorie and as someone who loves their heritage, it made weight loss difficult. I'd say keep those meat recipes like boliche or palomilla. Do you really need a bistec empanizado?…

I just restarted paleo this week. The last couple weeks have been semi-paleo. For me, what has been the most successful is counting calories (which is generally frowned upon in the paleo and LCHF world). My best piece of advice is try to get over the anti-fat bias we all have. I'd also recommend watching the film Fat Head…

I'm in the process of transitioning into vegetarianism and then maybe veganism. Already off cow's milk, which was goal one and trying to stick to fish as the only animal product I eat sparingly. Would love support on this.

And does it matter that it's so late?

I didn't think through it today and ended up skipping lunch and had a light dinner. Also lost track at the gym. I'll order something and be smarter. I've just been going over way too much lately and am having trouble finding a balance. It's either too much or too little.

I saw a video I made for a class freshman year (3 years ago) and realized that I was 35 (45?) pounds heavier now and couldn't believe it. I knew I'd gained weight, but never noticed how much until then. Freshman year I lost 20 pounds without noticing, so I don't know how I lost it. So now, as I'm starting my senior year, I…

Thanks, everyone. I know I was being paranoid, but this tends to be the point where I give up on my diets. You see, I'm that person who says, "I'm starting my diet tomorrow" and then the next day comes and I push it back another day. So eating over my calories enough days will just make me think, "Eh, tomorrow" and it'll…

1 slice is 1920 calories, I'm only allowed 1490 (with workouts, 1590 today), half a slice would leave me way too hungry. Honestly, as much as I love pizza, I'll freeze it and save it for a cheat day once I can stick to being under my limit for a few days.

I just went on an hour walk and according to my HRM, I burned 500 calories

I'm looking to lose about 70 lbs. Not sure how realistic of a goal it is. i'm hoping to complete it by May 2015 when I graduate. MyFitnessPal gives me a 1490 calorie limit, which honestly, given what I ate before the one meal that set me off, is actually pretty decent and not too restrictive.

When I go I tend to listen to podcasts. I'm a podcast/audiobook addict

Illinois here! Anyone feel free to add me, I need all the motivation I can get

Logging can be difficult for me, for both discipline and I just feel really guilty for going over so don't bother...and don't have many friends on here, so who cares (no accountability). One of the reasons i want to log onto the forums more is to really get into the mindset of I need to do this...and I decided to use the…
