Thank you both! I have upped my calories to 1720, spent a while calculating a few days worth of menus because I'll get lazy if I don't. I'm finding it hard to reach that number of calories without going over the carb macros. Probably shouldn't sweat it too much. This weekend has been a disaster with the consumption of…

Hi Akima, thanks for your reply. You're absolutely right about the full paleo/primal and no cheat days. Starting Monday, that's what it will be no matter what. As for the meat, it's not a matter that I'm unwilling to pay for better quality, but as a single and only parent who sometimes does and sometimes doesn't get child…

Thank you! I've wondered about the calorie thing myself as I've heard not to count when doing paleo/primal. Basing it off TDEE to lose weight, my caloric range is 1500-1900. So, I will recalculate that again and go back to it. Monday I plan to go back full force (parents are in town this weekend to celebrate…

Great, Kiwi! Keep it up!

Lol, Akima, no I don't want to find anything wrong. You're absolutely right about trusting our bodies. Thanks for the reality check!

So many great stories! I'm so thankful to have found this group and the paleo/primal lifetyle. My story's one just in the beginning stages, but I'm thrilled with it so far. I started my primal journey on April 14, just 3 weeks ago, and I'm never going back to the old ways. My life story with weight loss is much like many…

I'm with you guys. No time during the week to deal with this. I still use old-fashioned pen and paper and stick the week's menu to the side of the fridge. Helps me keep on track with variety and easily know at any time of the day what I'm supposed to be eating.

Great job on the challenge! And it's good to hear also that your husband is being supportive. Eggs seem to be th go-to food on the recipe sites. I can't eat them daily so I feel your pain in finding something that works. Today I made a bacon stir fry. Sometimes I do omelets. Sometimes I'm just hungry in the morning so…

Jicama is easily my favorite for that comfort food craving. I toss it in a crockpot with meats, plantains, and whatever other veggies I have on hand. Malanga is good too. I'm of the primal group so I still allow myself rice, potatoes and corn once or twice a week but I found I don't usually have a craving for them.

Great advice all around. I went primal 2 weeks ago and love it! The first few days are tough but stick with it. I had an excruciating headache the first day, insomnia the second, and felt all-over blah for a few days. On Day 6 I ate out and probably had flour in the sauce on my steak. I broke out in hives a couple hours…

Popcorn - 3 c. of plain popcorn, sprinkle with 2 tbsp parmesan and 1/2 tbsp cayenne pepper (or less), mix well. It's tasty and around 160 calories.

Favorite color's yellow; I love being outdoors, especially in the summer, and I use sunnyyellowinfl for many other username's because I live in FL, but wanted to use part of my real name here so... sunnycrisv

Thank you so much for this thread! I have a 9 year old by c/s. Just now starting my transformation (better late than never, right?) All these pics give me hope. Can't wait to hit the core workout tonight!
