lindsayhilleary Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm Lindsay and I attempted my first Whole30 in July. After twelve days I found out I was pregnant. I made it to day 18 before caving to morning sickness and food aversions. Unfortunately that pregnancy turned out to be my second miscarriage in a row and I lost the baby on July 26. I've eaten mostly primally since then (although probably a bit heavy on the dairy), but I've definitely had some comfort and binge eating, and a bit of alcohol and sugar. After my first miscarriage last fall I ate my way up to 193 pounds over the following 7 months, which was about a 20 pound gain. I don't want to do that again. I've lost that weight by eating primally since the beginning of June but I've got at least 30 more pounds to lose. I'm going to make this Whole30 count. I had a hard time not weighing myself last time around, so I'm really going to focus on staying away from the scale. My goals are pretty simple. First, I want to finish the 30 days. Second, I'd like to get my sleeping schedule under control. I want have lights out by 10:30 on weekdays and wake up at 7. Lastly, I'd like to lose some weight and inches and fit back into some clothes I haven't been able to wear for awhile. Here are today's measurements: Height: 5'7" Weight: 173.2 Bust: 41 Waist: 33.75 Hips: 42.5 R Thigh: 26 L Thigh: 26 R Bicep: 14.25 L Bicep: 14.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
