iogato Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Hi, I am a first-timer. I am incredibly excited about the Whole30 and about everyone who is on this forum. I found the forum yesterday and I think this is exactly what I need to carry me through. So many resources. How can I even begin to thank you for all that you have shared.... maybe I can show my appreciation my completing my Whole30, eh? About me: -Athletic mother of 2 kids under 3YO -work full time -lift hvy wts and cardio ~5 hrs week -too many hobbies to juggle successfully -avidly get excited about too many things Why do I want to do the Whole30: -I have an unhealthy relationship with food. I love sweets (particularly chocolate). I love salt. I love wine. I love food. -I am also looking to drop some weight to get back to my faster (and thinner) pre-baby self. I am already really active so after a year of exercising diligently, I decided it is time to look at my food choices. -Oh, and I fall asleep every afternoon (I also drink too much caffeine). My known challenge: -Resisting temptation! I have too kids that love their bread and dairy products, it will be hard to make them healthy food and abstain from putting a portion in my mouth. Although I will try and feed them what I eat. I tried to start the Whole30 4 days ago, however, fell off the wagon each day. It has been a good experience trying out the meals though. So, after reading tips throughout the forum, I am setting my start date for Monday January 21 so I can get my meals planned, fridge stocked and the support I need in place. Woohoo! Happy to be here.

lilangel4824 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Welcome and good luck on this journey. I am only on day five, and I completly understand about resisting temptations. I have not changed my 7 year olds diet yet. I am going to let him continue to eat his stuff, and I will eat mine. If you have any questions, feel free to always ask!

Martha Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I would also like to know about the Facebook group. I think Julia mentioned it to me on one of the Whole 9 FB pages when I posted that I was starting. That would be great. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FitSugar Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Hi, I thought I would start my whole 30 on Friday but maybe jumped in a little too fast, didn't really prepare properly (food and support). Although I have been following the plan in terms of the food, I have been snacking in between meals on veggies and chicken etc. I want to do this 100% so I am thinking about changing my "real" start date until tomorrow with all you ladies but, being a MAJOR perfectionist, am struggling with feeling like I would be "failing" my first attempt if I do so. Thoughts? And btw, I already feel more inspired by reading this thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 We started last Monday. Maybe just as a week on to the end of your 30. I probably will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
