Vegan Mayo options
I have used "just mayo" in the past, but I can not find it anywhere in the stores anymore. What vegan mayos do you guys use?

How many times...
How many times will I have to restart? Well tomorrow is a new day! I am precooking meats and prepping veggies today! Tomorrow there will be no excuses! I hope that the 33rd time is the charm.

Back today!
I have been doing weight watchers and feel like crap. I was a terrible idea. I don't know why I even tried it again. I did lose weight. It was totally not worth it. This is it. The paleo lifestyle just fits me. It makes me feel good and is easy to follow. I don't have to stress about counting (if i choose), and I feel like…

No tracking
Does anyone here not track? I know there is a lot of talk or macros and calories at times. I feel like at this point in my journey (although I do need to lose about 30#) my focus is on improving my health and happiness. My focus is on making paleo food choices, trying to enjoy my time with my family, and sleeping well at…

Heavy cream?
Thoughts? My body tolerates it well. I am not a fan of coconut milk in my coffee. This is my stumbling block in each whole 30 I attempt. What to use in my coffee?.... There is an obvious solution to this issue which is to omit the coffee all together for a whole 30. I don't want that though. Maybe that means I should...

Carb sources
Fat loss goals Sweet potatoes vs fruit? I am doing crossfit and am trying to figure out my macros. Would carbs from starchy tubers be better than fruit. I tend to over eat certain fruits, so I just try to not eat them. Bananas mainly. What do you guys do as far as carbs?

Calories paleo crossfit
Do you count them? Weighing and measuring is a pain. I just started crossfit and I feel like general consensus is to eat clean paleo and don't worry about counting. I would like for this to be true. What do you guys think?

post workout-crossfit
I have just started crossfit WOD's this week. Today was my first "real" WOD, and I seriously crashed within a few hours after I got home. I am unsure about what to eat post workout. I have protein shakes that I could drink, but I am more interested in whole food sources. I can tolerate dairy, and I have given some thought…

Do you track calories?
I am paleo with some heavy cream in my coffee. No other dairy or offending foods. I feel like I am eating a lot. My gym recommended zone/paleo. That leaves me starving. I can not live on 1200-1300 calories per day. I typically end up somewhere between 1500-1800 calories with 70-80 g carbs. I am new to crossfit, and it am…

non-paleo family
I know this has been posted multiple times here. I am the only one in the house that is paleo. I was transitioning my kids and my husband decided that was no longer something he would support. We have a house full of junk food again. I am so sad and frustrated that things are happening this way. I have even started eating…

Compliment from gym owner
I was paying at the gym today and the owner when I told him my DOB said that there was no way that I was 30. I took the opportunity to tell him about paleo and that with this lifestyle I'm hoping he will be telling me I look 30 when I'm 40. It was awesome that I got the chance to talk to a sceptic on his turf and give my…

Confession
I got desperate and went back to the sad diet for the past 2 weeks. No adverse effects except that I can not sleep. I'm back to primal tomorrow and I've missed my lifestyle and primal community. This is the way my body was made to eat, and I've been grieving the loss of it. It became a part of my life and I bailed on it…

Sad days... Paleo troubles
I've been having a really hard time with my paleo lifestyle lately. It's been so hard that yesterday I had Chinese buffet for lunch. I want to lose the last 10-15 and have been at the same weight for 2 years at least. Im 5 ft 3 in and 151#. it is not that i dont need to lose the weight. My body doesn't want a change! It…

Dates...
Where do you buy your dried dates? I have a heck of a time finding whole ones. I want to try some bacon wrapped dates. They sound yummy:)

No scale!
I am ready to throw my scale out the window. I drive myself crazy with it. I am seriously going to put it in the attic for an indefinate amount of time. I can't easily get into the attic. My husband would probably have to do it. That would get it out of the way for a while for sure.

small victories count for a lot
i just got back from vacation and ate crap food. I said it... Ok. Moving on. Yesterday I wanted a brownie really bad. I ate a salad instead. It is a small victory for me that means so much! I think we get so down on ourselves sometimes for making unhealthy choices. It is so important to be able to forgive ourselves and be…

Fruit...be honest
How much do you eat? I know without a doubt that fruit is preventing my fat loss. I had 2 bananas and an apple today. I think I'm just going to rid myself of fruit for a while because I think it's causing more problems than its worth. I want to lose about 5% body fat. These next few days will be rough. Who is with me? I…

Getting rid of sweetners in my coffee:(
I'm rady to get ready to rid my diet of Splenda... I'm one of the morning cheaters. My coffee will never be the same:( this morning I used just coconut milk and didn't add the Splenda. I also like bulletproof coffee but can drink it daily because my body protests too much fat after a few days in a row. I drink it…

Stupid parties
I had one last night, one Saturday, and another one Thursday! I have been eating too much crap food. I see no end in sight. My plan is to do my best and start a whole 30 January 1st.

New to group
I'm getting back in the mode for dukan. I have don't it once in the past but couldn't stick with it. I work out at the gym 5 days per week and have really been enjoying it. Today I restarted attack. I hope I am able to lose this last little bit. If I could lose 6#. I'd be happy but 10 would be ideal. My journal is open. I…
