LOL thank you!! The hardest part will be that it is the holiday season, but I have already been clean eating for almost a year now and so hopefully it won't be much of a challenge. My friends and family think I am crazy but also are verrrrrry accommodating.

Clearly I am not an exercise expert ... I do things and whatever is sore I assume that is the muscle getting worked out LOL

What about hanging from a pull up bar and using your core to lift your knees to your chest? I am not sure if that is supposed to tone abs, but my abs kill me when I do those.

Love the old navy compression pants and tank tops too... GAP (who owns them too) also has some cute tanks.

#2!

I gathered that from google. However, I eat a banana almost every day, plenty of spinach, mushrooms, avocado, other potassium rich foods too. I really doubt that is the cause unless joining crossfit suddenly caused me to need 200% more potassium than ever before.

I know!! And I'm not down with all the coconut flour almond cheese stuff..... ugggg

Saw this and LOVE it.

Seriously.. my girlfriend was like "If I saw a charge for $200 worth of Doritos I would kill a b*tch."

Only because I had some egg whites left over from making those egg cup recipes. I'm a big fan of the yolk, I may have even flipped out a little less had I had that instead this morning :)

One slip up bad meal or snack doesn't ruin all your hard work, just like one great meal won't fix it instantly. Just go back to what you were doing, drink water, and stay calm.

I have been Paleo for 2.5 months now. I try to cut down on fruit, but in my book if the choice is another piece of fruit or something from the vending machine, who cares about the sugar? After the first month my brain calmed itself down and I cut out dried fruits and now I only eat a piece of fruit and try to do the lower…

Does that mean you are eating dairy if you are adding cream? Way to add fat to meal: avocado

I noticed some stores (loft is an example) started carrying size 000 through size 14 but someone like me who is usually an 8 is now a 4 or 6 there. They also are notorious for only have size XXS XS and XXL left over after putting out new merchandise. Then stores like Old Navy where I'm a medium skirt but the XXL tank top…

Yep, nuts, jerky (nitrite & msg free), lara bars (fruit & nut bars- dairy and gluten free kind - some have dairy and or gluten so check the wrapper which is clearly marked), also since it doesn't seem like weight loss or being paleo is your main concern, you should go to whole foods or trade joes or the like and look at…

Be careful with Pintrest / Instagram with the Paleo/ Whole 30 recipes! People tag those things but they are not Whole30 at all... pancakes are not whole 30 I don't care what kind of flour they use!! I say start simple... a grilled chicken breast & grilled veggies. A salad. A piece of fish side of veggies. No need to make…

Jump right in- but plan ahead. Get rid of everything in your house that might tempt you. Plan all your meals and go shopping for the first week's food. If you have any situations ahead of you (dinner plans, a party, lunch with co-workers) decide ahead of time what you are going to do to accomplish eating what you need to…

Thank you all! I saw a thing online that says "No amount of exercise can make up for a poor diet" ... I think I am just scared that I am busting my *kitten* for no reason. When I started Paleo eating of course I was miserable that I couldn't have pizza for dinner but when I dropped 13lbs I was like "What pizza??" SO i…

The other thing I wonder/worry over is my starting weight. I think if you start off "skinny" and do CF you get more toned and if you start off fatter you get more muscular and define your muscles but keep a lot of fat because you aren't doing cardio. Does that even make sense?

I agree with everything you are saying as far as the food goes. For 2 months I have really only "cheated" by having red wine with dinner 2x a week and that is it... I have had all meals centered around protein and vegetables. The change for me last week was instead of running 3x a week I went to the crossfit classes. So…

That is the best comment ever!

Thank you so much... I can't believe that!!! I need to re-train my brain I think :)

I started Paleo 2 months ago and have lost 13 pounds total. I started Crossfit last Monday and on today's weigh it it is the first time in 2 months that I lost 0. Clearly better than a gain, but I was sad that I felt like I worked harder last week then I had in the 2 months prior and lost 0.

No dairy or alcohol helps me

I am starting today! My coworker did it and lost 12 pounds.

I have been using it along with diet and exercise and have found it to be effective in curbing appetite. It's not coffee or a drink, it's a pill. It's made from raw coffee beans whereas coffee is made from roasted beans. It is supposed to inhibit the release of glucose in the body and increase metabolic process. I think…

I have been MIA from dieting and the boards but not from JM. I still have been faithfully doing the work outs and I actually finished a 5k with my best time ever (31 minutes) even without running at all during the past month+.. I could tell I was stronger. I think now that I am committed to the cutting calories part that I…

Long story short the hurricane and power outs left me missing out on starting phase 2. I am going to re-do last week starting today and start phase 2 on Monday... my coworker and I are doing it together... she started (they had power) and said it was a killer! I can't wait. Happy Halloween all!

Ugggggg scales shows +2 today. I think this is impossible as I have not been cheating at all. Clothes feel the same so maybe it was just a fluke. I think I am going to stop weighing in every week. Maybe do it once a month or something.

YES!!! That was funny!
