Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar
Help! Some advice would be great. I've been paleo for a couple of weeks, or at least I would be if the sugar didn't keep getting me! I can do without grains no problem, hate dairy in the majority anyway, but the sugar keeps sucking me in! I don't even fancy tubers or fruit that much. My cravings for sugar are doing me in!…

First Week Down
and I feel great! Both husband and I have lost 7lbs each! He has lost 11.5 cm from his body and I have lost 24 cms! (hubby is building muscle and I'm losing considerable weight so measurements bang on good for both of us). Being novices at Paleo we popped out for a celebration treat - a piece of cake & a soda (mine was…

Hey :)
Hey guys, I've been curious about Paleo for a long time now and there are very little information in the UK about it. I'm just planning my shopping and am starting tomorrow :) just thought I'd say hi, I'm very overweight at the moment, have lost around 40lbs. I've been bouncing around for the past year at that point and…

I am One!
One year ago today I made the first step to losing weight. I've not been consistant, I've not got numbers that will make me a world record holder but I've learnt loads, put an eating disorder to bed, rediscovered the competitive me, and am so much happier. So 44 lbs and 365 days later this is me. ETA: fixed the pictures :)

One foot is actually quite swollen and both are really really sore. I'm running a 10k next weekend and I need to be able to run. What do I do to get them…

Net Calories
I don't want to get in to the debate on eating back calories and stuff but I'm interested in peoples experiences. What do you NET in a day usually, or on average? How is your weight loss going?
