I need inspiration again
im having a day. I'm not in the mood for cooking and I'm sick of my staples. I just found some rice free sushi and I hated it :-(. I have a boatload of cookbooks so maybe when I'm in the mood (later) I will look at them for inspiration. I'm open to any staple suggestions. I'm tired of my salads and veggie scrambles.

I'm back and ready to recommit
Whew! I have been gone for a long time! I screwed up, gained weight and even got out of my workout habit. I had a wake up call with my weight and how I feel (not having anything to do with the new year) and I decided that I need to recommit. It just happens to be January. I'm just posting to say that I'm back and I can…

Feet hurting and working out
I am a small framed woman and I have gained more weight than I am comfortable with. The latest issue I have had is that my feet hurt *really* bad! I used to be so fit. I have completed several of the Beachbody workouts as well as others plus brisk walking (I don't like running.) I have done T25 and am really feeling guided…

New to Fitbit, not MFP (could use support/and offer support)
Hi, I'm Kelly :-) I just got a shiny new Flex for Xmas and I am really needing some motivation for losing this weight that has crept back on (big time!) I could use some support and I can also offer support. I love being fit and in my past have been very fit, and I have been a bit lax lately and feel awful physically. I…

Macros, help.
My macros were reset, I haven't logged in a while and now I notice that they may have been reset. I can't remember where I had them, can you share with me where you set your macros??

OMG, my dog ate a huge can of bacon grease :(
I didn't want to put this on the open forums, but I am sure the title will draw a few people, haha. My bf (unbeknownst to me) was keeping a can of bacon grease beneath the sink (???!!) My dog ate the whole thing and now has gotten very sick :( I know we cook with it, in small doses, but does anyone know if it is dangerous…

Addition of raw foods
What is the connects of raw foods as an addition to a Paleo/Primal diet? Someone I am working with on another level is also a health coach but she is not Paleo, she is recommending that I try some raw food green smoothies. I was thinking that perhaps a few would be ok. I used to study energetic nutrition and herbalism and…

Trying to decide the next bb program to do, opinions?
I am loving ChaLEAN Extreme, and am a couple of days from the Lean phase. I am thinking proactively about my next program. I LOVE the weight training. I tend not to like cardio-heavy programs, but really enjoy the weight training. I am also up for a challenge. I am slightly time challenged in the fact that I am not willing…

Les Mills Combat
Has anyone done this? I am trying to decide my next workout program and I would love feedback!! tia

I am so troubled by sugar cravings that...
I dreamt about having a meal and then craving sugar and searching my kitchen for some leftover sweets that I had forgotten to get rid of. I do ok, and then at night I really want sweets :( Damn. It all started with allowing myself sweets on Thanksgiving and then my daughter's birthday in early December. Damn :(
-
I need support and more paleo or primal friends
I did wonderfully on the Whole 30 and I think it was largely because it is so structured and I tend to have an easy time with that kind of thing (even though for me I think so strict is not as sustainable) I really loved it and the way I felt. Fast forward to now, I haven't lost my drive totally, but I seem to have less…

Quinoa
What's up with quinoa? It is a seed technically, and Mark Sisson mentions it being ok in the Primal Blueprint. Is anyone ingesting this now? It feels so much like a grain I don't want it to create cravings for other grains.

I need help getting back on track :(
It all started with me wanting to give myself a "treat" so I got some coconut vanilla ice cream, it was sooo good, but I beliecve it's been since then that I have craved salt and sugar and have been making poor food choices. I have even been bad about recording what I am eating. I just had some of my daughter's potato…

Upset stomach, can someone help me with my food diary?
I think I'm getting too much fat and not enough protein. I didn't log well yesterday but usually do. Can I get some opinions? I am having an upset stomach and I have that sour feeling and intestinal distress :( (I'm not sick.)

How much sleep do you get?
I have a challenge going to bed really early. I know I don't get enough sleep. I am an early morning riser, which is good, but I can't seem to fall asleep until 10:30ish (I get up at 5am) I know this is a lifestyle and not just a way to eat. I am curious how other people organize sleep time.

The amount I eat
I am discovering that I feel much better when I eat less. I end up being within my calories most days and I feel good. I know we are not supposed to track, but I am. I have been experimenting with eating more, and right now I feel bloated. I have eaten back all of my exercise calories and then some. (not even that much…

I've gotten brave
and opened my diary. I'd love some new paleo friends to relate with me and people who will give me feedback ;)

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this.
I used to rely on convenience foods, all from the "health" food store, and I knew they were not the best but when I was overwhelmed or tired it was too easy (if my bf wasn't cooking for me) I am actually sick now, and I just realized that if I didn't actually cook, I would not be able to eat anything. I dragged my sick…

Best lunch boxes
I am looking around for a really good, plastic free, eco friendly lunchbox to use that will keep my food cool. I have looked at a few and am wondering which ones you like and why before I make a decision because they are pricey!

Sore throat and the 'yucks'
I feel like I have a fever but when I take my temp I don't have one. I am going to work because I have to :( Do you think this is Whole 30 related? Perhaps not, my daughter just got over a cold and had a sore throat, but I usually fight it off and don't get sick :(

Planning meals
I realed that with all of the planning I have been doing, I have not organized it(!!) I am planning tuna salad for lunch tomorrow and just discovered that I have the EVOO and I need the light flavor OO. Does it really make that much of a difference? I have never made my own mayo before. I'll be doing it late tonight after…

What's the best HRM?
Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I really want a good one. I may have to ask for it as a gift, but I really need to be able to record my HIIT and kettlebell workouts and circuit training doesn't do them justice. I want to see the reality in how many calories my walks burn as well. Sometimes I think MFP…
-
Staple meals and emergency foods?
I was wondering if anyone has planned out any emergency meals (meals to reach for in convenience when you are tired or in a hurry and tempted to have something off plan. I was thinking I'd have hard boiled eggs ready and always keep chicken and salad makings around, but that sounds boring and I'd love to get some ideas :)
-
How are you preparing?
How are you making last minute preparations? I am planning out my pantry list and checking it twice. I am also gathering recipes and planning out a lunch strategies. I am guessing I will need some sort of lunchbox (maybe a bento box.) I use Big Oven to plan out my meals and grocery list. You can search Paleo and it brings…

Hi, I wanted to introduce myself!
I am really striving towards this lifestyle but have been having a hard time following it fully. I have 'It starts with food' and love it! It is really inspirational. I cut out excess sugar (but not all hidden sugars) and bread, grains and pasta (for the most part.) I also have a couple of Paleo cookbooks and am really…

I am so discouraged :(
I started losing by cutting out excess sugar and bread/grains and ate some grains, but primarily protein and veggies which started things off great. I then started recording here because I was starting to plateau. It has worked, I have been losing, but slowly. Well, I just got into my daughter's snacks :( I know I…
