Aherchman Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm starting 09/01...I'm scared! I'm weak:( but I know something gotta give!!! I'd never even heard of this until my sis-in-law told me about on vaca (no, I don't live under a rock)! She challenged me & agreed to partner with me, she was on her 3rd round. I'm going to tell her about too, but I'd like to be in a group of some firsties. I'll definitely need the support! I know this group is full, but may I join?! Thank you!

Mikaelacahill Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi everyone! I'm so excited to be starting on 9/1. I broke my back in November and fell I to a bad habit of eating terrible and doing nothing (since I couldn't bend, twist, lift, nothing!) I let myself get way out of control and I'm ready for a full reset! (My body is too) cannot wait to start, I'm nervous but gotta be strong! First time around, ready set, go!

Pacycheeks366 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm hoping to start my Whole 30 (60?) on the first as well. I started one a couple of years ago and let my weaker self convince me to give up after a week. Not going to happen this time!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Way Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I am new to Whole 30 and also plan to start on September 1, the program seems to resonate with me and it is something I have needed to do for myself for a long, long time. I am looking forward to a whole new way of healthy living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Folks who aren't much into cooking, I highly recommend the meatball recipes from Melissa Joulwan http://theclothesmakethegirl.com & her two cookbooks: Well Fed & Well Fed 2. Melissa has lots of batch cooking tips which are great for weekday meals. I've got two batches of meatballs already made, soup and veggie prep up next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliciaF Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm starting then too! will be nice to have support or to virtually scream sometimes I have asthma and cutting out dairy before really helps but you know how it goes - a little here and there and then more and then when the man wants quesadillas every week - you cave... lol But he's doing it with me I think I may have convinced a couple other folks too - but we'll see - either way I'm excited - I ordered the book it gets here Monday just in time!

Desperatete2bhealthy Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hi all, I am committed and ready to start September 1st. Just have to go to grocery story and start cooking tomorrow. I tried to do the whole 30 and made it up to day 12 so I am looking forward to this round and staying fully loyal to the program. To be honest it wasn't as hard as I anticipated once I got used to coconut milk in my coffee. It was hard to go out with friends and not drink a glass of wine so this time I think I will try to avoid going out. I am looking forward to trying new recipes, avoiding emotional eating, aka eating 50 cashews when not hungry,and learning to deal with the feeling of craving sugar. I look forward to all the support this forum offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkphobic Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm starting tomorrow too! I finished the book this morning and haven't eaten out in two weeks. Plus we bought a new stove yesterday so I'm ready to bring on the homemade goodness! Psyched for curries and frittatas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jette Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hi everyone! I will also be starting tomorrow 1. sept. I'm so happy to have found this group and to see that a facebook group has been made as well so we can support each other :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajordin Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hi everyone! I started my first whole30 A little before august and went a little crazy after and didn't reintroduce things the way I should have. I have felt awful since reintroducing dairy and grains so I am restarting tomorrow in order to figure out what exactly is making me tired, causing my breakouts, and my digestive issues. My first whole30 went well and I Had a lot of non scale victories so I am excited to start again and will probably eat paleo afterwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericasbrown Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hello Everyone, Both my sisters have had great success with this plan and I'm starting September 1. Looking forward to sharing recipes! Erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freelancer73 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hello Everyone, I'm planning to start Tuesday the 2nd. I will be planning/cooking on Monday the 1st. I've been to Whole Foods to get the odd stuff that I can't find in my regular store and I'm largely ready with ingredients. I will probably make one more trip tomorrow. I've read It Starts With Food, Well Fed 1 & 2 and looked at recipes online. My biggest challenge will be giving up sugar (Coke especially) and eating regular food in the morning. Historically eggs and I don't get along and I don't really like them either, but I will see if I can tolerate them at this point because of their ease of preparation. I leave for work at 5:50 am so I need things that are quick and easy. I have had increasing all over body aches/pains and I always have digestive issues so I'm hoping these will clear up. I've gained 20lbs in the past two years, thanks mostly to starting a desk job and three weeks of steroids for an allergic reaction (10 was from that and hasn't budged!). My eating habits have gone downhill significantly since I started working so early in the morning and not sleeping enough. I pretty much live on sugar and I know it makes me feel like crap.

Walker7 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I have done this twice before with AMAZING results, and it is time to do it again! I will start Monday 09/01, as most of you are doing, and I am expecting to have an excellent report for my cardio when I see him in October. Thanks for starting this group!

Bfreedman2 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Looking forward to starting tomorrow: September 1st and joining what looks to be a large and active group. I am pairing the Whole30 challenge with a 30 day Pure Barre challenge, and I can't wait to jump right in and push myself physically and mentally. I had a baby 4 months ago, and my goal is to lose those last pesky pounds of baby weight. Good luck to all and I hope to see your progress as the month progresses!

drtracyb Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hi, I've been hanging with the Dirty 30 August 21 start date but really 9/1 is my start date because I was in the middle of a move and eating healthy was impossible. I'm looking forward to Sept 1 start. One year ago was my very first whole30. Boy have I learned a lot since then! Tracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieMell Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hi All, So how did everyone go with day one? I enjoyed my beef frittata and tomato for breakfast, tuna and salad for lunch, and chicken with a ton of veggies for dinner. I did have a few snacks during the day, ie some apple and watermelon with my son and a few handfuls of nuts. As I am currently breastfeeding my 5 month old I felt like I needed them, but will aim reduce the snacks as the month goes on. It's hard to know whether it is actually hunger, the sugar dragon or just habit. I have been getting a bit inspired in the kitchen already though, and want to cook more natural food like this, it is so delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly bezaire Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I just finished reading the book, and am starting today as well with my boyfriend. Good luck to all we can do this !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
