I fell off the paleo wagon
I'm sooooo annoyed at myself. I fell off the paleo wagon, I've no idea why! I know it makes me feel great and I lose weight but never the less I fell off- It started slowly, and before I knew it I was eating sandwiches. The upshot of this is that I'm up 2 stones from this time last year, my tummy is swolen and I feel like…

It's an obsession
I've been lifting for nearly 2 years now, it still suprises me just how much I love it! It's a rest day today and all I can think about is lifting. I've always gone to the gym but cardio has never had the same attraction as limiting, it's life changing!

A change in mental attitude.
I'm a teacher and it often amuses/amazes me to watch the kids at break times, we open the door and they all run, usually as fast as they can, leading me to ask the question, when does running cease to be our natural pace? I started MFP in January 2010, I've gone from being obese to a 'normal' weight, from a size uk22 to a…

Primal icecream
I just made primal ice cream sooo easy- I froze a banana in pieces, put it in a blender with some double cream and 2x teaspoons of hazelnut butter and blended, instant ice cream.- no added sugar, obviously an occasional thing but it certainly hits the spot.

NSV - running
I started losing weight at the same time I decided to learn to run. I started an interval running program and that 1st week of running 1 minute and walking 2 felt like hell. I did complete my 5k and then a 10k but then I got injured (IT band). The last 5k I did I finished in 32 minutes back in September. I haven't run at…

Vitamin d
At Robb wolfs suggestion in the paleo solution, I've started taking vit D. I thought I was going a bit mad as I felt unusually happy after the first few days, mentioned this to my other half who said the same. Well, this is a great side affect!

Sigh
The main forums really disappoint me. I never understand why some people are so down on Paleo? It all makes so much sense

Sometimes this is hard
I've been primal for around 3 months now (with the odd small trip up). This morn is hard- my other half is eating toast, I'm resisting but god it smells good. Just wanted a bit of a rant about it to stop me caving in.

Extra energy
I had a lapse at the weekend and came out of ketosis, it took me until Thursday until to get back in, however I could almost pin point the moment it happened, my energy levels went through the roof and I've been on a high since. I haven't been keto eating long (about a month) and I feel unbelievable good. Does anyone else…

Just wondering what you consider the reasons are that you got fat and what triggered the change to get healthy?

The…

helpful food
What foods have you found most helpful for sticking to your weight loss plan? For me it's cous cous. Its just so quick throw a few veggies through it and either some meat/fish or cheese and dinner is made in about 10 mins plus the left overs are great for lunch the next day.

NSV running
I've been using MFP on and off since January. In Jan I decided I'd like to run, never having been able to do this it gave me incentive to be able to achieve something as well as weight loss. I started on a steady C25K programme and the first week was hell. I could only just run for 1 minute and the 2 minute walk between…

A change in thinking
I was reading oxygen magazine and found this quote "Get on your bike. Women aged 25 to 42 are nearly half as likely to gain more than five percent of their initial body weight by biking just twice a week, reports a June issue of Archives of Internal Medicine." I can weight to be wanting to gain muscle more than I want to…
