I weigh every morning and sometimes I'm up and somtimes I'm down but everyday I record my weight into an app that displays it as a chart and shows me the overall downward trend. I do feel as though I know my body better for weighing every day and I can attribute gains and losses more easily to actions I've taken or foods…

Nice :smile:

Mark Twain: Habit is habit and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.

5 days after my 39th birthday with the big 40 looming..... decided that I needed to feel like a kid again and get active as I'm definitely getting older! :tongue:

Bike every day, working on the awesomeness! Feel free to add me :laugh:

very true :wink:

Finally!! I was scrolling down this thread wondering when someone would mention this! :laugh: I thought the idea was to remove all the crap and go back to basics?...... Maybe Paleolithic man used to reach for a protein powder after a hard days hunting and gathering?

Definitely drink!! 9 times out of 10 the first pangs of hunger are actually your body telling you to drink....Drown the hunger :drinker:

Hi, I've just started but loving it already.... add on the way :smile:

There are loads of apps for iPhone and android that will work out how much to drink for your size etc and then remind you when it's time to drink....... All you have to do is follow the prompt when your phone goes off, simple! :-)

Innocent vegpots are just around 300 cals and are really tasty and full of actual factual veggies! :bigsmile:

That's a great result....the power of vegetables!!:bigsmile:

I noticed some pretty quick results but I literally went overnight in for a penny in for a pound! I think I'm probably a bread junkie in the same way you like the sugar but I've gotta say although it was hard and there were some cravings, once it was out of the way I felt so much better for it!! :smile:

The nice thing is how many veggies you can eat without being too concerned about the calories..... makes it sooooo much easier to stay feeling full!

It really is! I get the peanut butter situation and the hummus to be fair but at the moment I'm ploughing through recipies and trying all the tasty Paleo things on offer! :wink:

It's a plan, feel free to add me :-)

Ride my bike to and from work every day - 18 mile round trip and then some sit up and press ups.....

I think the name gives it away but I wouldn't really consider it a religion, just some really good ideas that ask you to look at yourself and discover what makes you tick and maybe help other to do the same........ that's the simple version anyway. I like simple :smile:

Every morning without fail and before a cup of tea, it's interesting to see the daily fluctuations and relate them to good and bad choices I made....

What about Tempeh if you're lookinbg for an alternative source of protein? I have had mine from http://www.freshtempeh.co.uk/ and it's really versatile and a bit different..... I'm going to give the seitan a try but would be interested to hear of any other ideas... feel free to add me as I'm always open to new suggestions…

If you're an Iphone user there are loads of free apps which will record your intake and remind you to drink throughout the day.... I use 'drink right' but there are lots to choose from :-)

Why not? It keeps you focused and only takes minutes a day!:tongue:

Excellent! Thanks very much, I can stop my head spinning now :laugh: Mike.

The Vegan Society in the UK do a great little handbook that lists most of the mainstream supermarket foods that are vegan.... It's a massive help for starting out :-)
