^^^ This

I found that my cravings for stuff faded with time (about two weeks max for me). When cravings did hit, and I knew that I wasn't hungry i would have some water seltzer or tea (since they usually happened at night).

Many stores don't sell plus sizes. That's just how it is. Yes, he sounds like an *kitten* hat, but many many people do. Just saying.

I went shopping with my roommate this weekend to look for work clothes. I saw super cute dress. I thought it was a 16, and was saddened when I realized it was 14 when I got to the dressing room. My roommate told me to try it on anyway. I now have a super cute dress for work hanging in my closet. A size 14 dress! In MY…

Finding coconut butter that you melt and pour over fruit is a nice little treat that I still do even though my 30 days ended at the start of April

ISWF is a book It Starts with Food. The authors are the ones who created the concept for the Whole30. It is a good and insightful read. I also found the forums on the Whole9 website helpful when I had questions (I have an almond allergy and needed advice). http://forum.whole9life.com

Did you make sure the tuna was compliant? I had the same issue some of the time.

AGREE! I finished my whole30 on Saturday. I didn't weigh myself until the very end. If you have read a lot of the posts on the Whole9 website, then you know that the primary reason for doing the Whole30 is not for weight loss, but rather a change in how you look at food. I know my "relationship" with food has changed, and…

I am always open to new friends :) Feel free to add.

I am tall! I was wondering if I would find anyone close to my height and weight. So far, only the height Height: 6'0" Age:29 SW:262 CW:229 GW: 180-190

I am about to finish my Whole30! Good luck folks. One of my favorite sites for recipes: chowstalker.com. Also, if you haven't tried coconut butter, you should. it is delicious.

I really like chowstalker.com. I am currently on day 7. I feel good. I have already started to notice my energy levels staying the same throughout the day and my skin is also starting to clear up. I have also found that there are a lot of recipe resources on the whole9 website. Have any of you read It Starts with Food? I…

My supervisor asked me if I had started going for the baggy look.

I hate "whatever" but what makes me more irritated is when it gets abbreviated to Whatevs... Damn, how hard is it to complete the word!!

I have two roommates, so I don't forbid things in the house. I just choose not to by certain things. Ice Cream and chips are two big ones. If I want it, I buy things in smaller sizes.

I am another New Englander. I hail from Southern New Hampshire. :)

I use either club soda or diet tonic. I thought I was safe with regular tonic, but then I looked at the label. My drink of choice is vodka tonic.

I'm 6' almost 6'1" and have a broad build. I hate the "you just have a large bone structure"

I am also a former server and bartender. I can offer my insight. If you have worked a while at a specific place, you get to know a lot of the trends and what people tend to oder...I can't say that I have run into this type of issue before. When I bartended if the person didn't specify if they wanted a short or tall, I…

Feel free to add me. I quit smoking about a month and a half ago. Still tough for me at times, but I'm sticking with it. Congrats!

Wow! we really are best friends IRL since I was going to say the SAME thing...and I think she would give the best hugs.

I don't have a smart phone, so I keep wrappers and stuff until i can get to my laptop. I found two granola bar wrappers from awhile ago in my backpack (i now have the info memorized....ha!)

Welcome welcome welcome!

Waking up and seeing the sunshine after hearing the thunderstorm we had last night.

I would be flattered, but I wouldn't read much more into it. It is a compliment, so I take it as such. I think that when people read into things, that's where the problem is.

I weigh in once a week, but every morning I find that I step on the scale. I feel as if it keeps me accountable to myself.

I am repeating what others have said. It will get better. I only lasted 8 min on the eliptical when I started going back to the gym...now I can bust out 30 min with no problem.....well, not NO problem, but much easier than when I started.

Welcome! I joined about a month ago and haven't looked back! YOU CAN DO IT!

I agree with this ^^^ I never realized how much power I gave food unti. I just shrugged it off. I believe that it is possible....you can do it!
