Thought I'd drag myself back to the thread to share that I'm still alive...and semi-succeeding at my Whole30 challenge (had one super naughty dessert, but otherwise trying to follow the instructions to a T). I want to say a big thank you to those of you who offered up pep talks when I was having my sugar meltdown the other…

I'm super discouraged... I started the Whole30 challenge on Monday (though we, as a family, have been eating loosely paleo for a month). I have been miserably hungry so far this week. I have been doing my best to limit carbs, but I am so sugar addicted I keep attacking the fruit bowl. Prior to this week I was a paleo…

I'm super excited to see such a good sized group...strength in numbers :) Since most of us are newer to the lifestyle, would anyone else be interested in posting daily recipes so that we can diversify our menus? Here is an easy-peasy breakfast idea: Chicken Apple Scramble 1/2 link sliced chicken apple sausage 1/8 c. fresh…

Count me in, as well! Our family started eating modified (read-cheater) paleo about a month ago after my son was diagnosed with several food sensitivities. I'm having a really difficult time getting into the spirit of it, though. I have one heck of a sugar addiction that I need to break. I've been bingeing on sweets at…

Hi girls, can I hop on the wagon and join you? My name is Stacy and I'm a 28 year old momma of two. I started the 30ds last month, but had some issues with my knees/shins. I've been letting them recoup this last week and would like to restart the lovely shredding process ASAP! I just think I need to be a bit more gentle on…

I'd also like to caution against the online calculators. When I first started exercising I plugged my measurements into several different websites with comparable results (between 22-25% body fat). You can imagine my dismay when I had a DXA scan performed showing a whopping 30.4% BF. Check with you local radiology facility…

I'm 5'1", 108lbs and 32-24.5-35.5...and 30.4% body fat, Eek! I generally wear a size 2 or 3 in pants and XS tops. My goals are less number and more "shape" related. My present weight/measurements don't bother me, but my flab and cellulite sure do! I'm ready to put on some muscle!

Name: Stacy Height: 5'1" Reason for joining: I have eight more weeks until I need to be fit enough to compete in Tough Mudder NorCal (a ten mile long obstacle course) and I am nowhere near prepared. I have been trying to train on my own the past 6+ weeks with minimal success (ie, I'm going to to DIE out there if I keep…

I've found most Greek yogurt to he rather bitter and yucky, BUT I do really enjoy the Greek Gods brand. They have a honey sweetened variety that is super tasty, and the plain can be turned into ranch dip with just a few herb/spices. Good stuff!

I'm 5'1" and 108 right now. I've been as low as 97 as an adult (this was while breast feeding...it just SUCKED the weight off me), and was entirely too thin. I will be completely fine if the numbers on the scale stay the same, as long as I can see a drop in hip/thigh measurements. Currently they are 35" hip and 21.5" thigh…

Another new-to-MFP "fun-sized" girl here. I'm 5'1" and 108lbs. I'm not really looking to lose any weight, just lard :) . I'm built like a pear shaped weiner dog (sounds super sexy, huh...lol). I've got super short and thick legs, attached to a bubble butt, a long torso and a small upper body. I'd like to eradicate…

Thanks for all of the wonderful suggestions! I picked up a NetiPot today and will restart some apple cider vinegar (I tried it for a couple weeks earlier in the season and gave up...maybe it needed longer to work?). I'm also going to try and be diligent about taking a spoonful of local raw honey everyday, as recommended by…
