LauraJS Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Hello readers My name is Laura, Im 28 years old and live in Brisbane QLD Australia. I am on day one of my second whole 30. I did my first whole 30 this time in 2014 so thought it's something I want to do once a year just to get my health back on track after the festive season. I suffer from IBS symptoms when I'm not sticking to mainly whole30 foods. So I always like to get back to basics. I currently weigh 52kgs and am quite active. I hope to improve my overall physique over the next few weeks also but I'm not interested in losing weight, just feeling better on the inside and out. I will be logging my meals at the end of each day to keep me on track and to get any feedback from moderators. I also will list how I am feeling each day. I found that the forum kept me on track last year as other users would always encourrage me when ever I wasn't having a good day. I look forward to seeing some changes in my body and my mood over the next few weeks. Bring it on! Also hello to any other Aussies out there doing the whole30 lifestyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abarbs Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'm starting my 2nd whole30 today, completed my first July 2014. I'm also an IBS sufferer, and using this one to try and tame some symptoms which have reappeared after the holidays. Good luck on your whole30!
