Can you recommend one? TIA

You could not have read through the initial post or the responses. You read and commented on the title only.

98% of women have cellutlite and it get worse as you age. Accept it. BTW men don't notice it and don't care, it is completely a woman's obsession.

You should not be eating under you BMR. Your TDEE - 20% and BMR are about equivalant. I would shoot for 2000 calories and if you want a bigger loss, move more! Especially, incorporate weight lifting (it will build more muscle which in turns burns more calories.) Fat does not make you fat. Fat keeps you full. Carbs (ie…

Ha I thought the same thing, turns out that was the hardest part!!! My shoulders were toast after the first hold and burpee set!

I'm O positive. And someone will need to pry the coconut oil out of my cold hands when I die. I firmly believe half (or more) of reason my blood work improved was from the increase in fats which was done mainly through coconut oil. I drink BP coffee daily. I would recommend trying coconut oil again, likely it was…

Partner workout: 100 burpees, while partner holds HS, when they drop you change places 60 front squats while partner runs 200m, switching 1000 m row (500 each) We completed in 18:08. I puked a little for the first time ever during a WOD. LOL

I crossfit and I use SFH recovery when I am no eating a meal within 2 hours of training. I usually mix it with whole milk (grass fed). It is whey protein derived from grass fed milk sweetened with stevia (which doesn't bother me.) My box sells it and it is pricey, but it doesn't spike cravings.

Please keep in mind, breakfast does not have to consist of tradional breakfast foods. Maybe chicken or tuna salad made with avacado?

Welcome!!! I recommend initially cutting diary for the first 30 days and then re-adding. If you do fine with it, then keep it. A LOT of people don't do well with diary. I have heard only 30% of the population digest diary well (I don't know if this statistic is correct.) Also don't be afraid to increase your fat. Fat keeps…

LOL I would have to move south to find sun and that is not an option. And even in the summer when I was running outside sans sunscreen 4 times a week, my vitamin D was incredibly low.

Bump. I'm reading your stories for inspiration this morning.

We do the same. And actually the coach had those not competing do from 15 down instead. I scaled the weight a bit too. It still sucked.

Awesome job!!!

Love!

I started laughing at work over this one!!! So true. The girl that sits behind me (who is now a more compliante paleo peep than I) states I should get kick backs from "It Starts With Food". I have started at minimum 3 people on their paleo lifestyle with it.

That is just awesome!

^^ Yeah but she won't know all of this stuff.

Most people who do "paleo" do not do it solely for weight loss. Weight loss is typically a side effect. (BTW I hate the word paleo, it makes people who have never tried it or even read about it, go on and on about how we don't live in the patholithic period, instead of the real reason to try it, health.) I tell people, I…

Wow I just read this, amazing!!

Hehe, I had to look up dragon crawls. We call it spiderman crawl. We don't do the push up as much as try to same low the ground. And yes they suck. My mobility is horrible as well.

I just started listening to this on cd for my commutes. So far, I like it and it falls in line with my beliefs, everyone is different.

That's what I thought!!

Resentful. That is a good word to describe the way I feel. Maybe a tad jealous. I'm jealous I no longer have the ignorance on what is good for me.

Thank you all for your response. I do cook ahead but I will be the first to admit, I do not freeze things for a later time. I really need to clean out the freezer and start this. My home dyanmic is strange. My husband travels and is only home Thursday to Sunday. He is not paleo but is trying to reduce sugar. I typically…

Ok so here it is, I know the primal/paleo lifestyle is the best thing for my health, my mood and ultimately my weight. However, trying to balance everything drives me nuts. If feel like I never stop thinking about food. I feel like I never stop cooking or doing dishes. I recently tried what I considered a kinder gentler…

Thank you for posting that. Being a 37 y/o obese woman, I sometimes wonder if I will ever be able to do the WODs unassisted. That story brought tears to my eyes.

Today's WOD sucked: 10 burpee pullups 20 K2E 30 KB Snatch #35 40 Wallballs #14 30 Turkish sit ups 20 pistols 10 HSPU (I have to do off a box instead). For time I completed in 17:07

I just read this in "It Starts With Food" , "One 20 ounce soda has the sugar equivalent of eating 5 bananas, nine cups of strawberries and 90 cherries." I'm re-reading it for motivation. I thought it might put your soda habit in perspective.
