Jomac Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I'm doing the Whole30 program for the first time and will be starting March 8, 2015. My sister just finished with great results and I cannot wait to get started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northnode Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 How's it going so far? I started today too and am super excited, with some nervousness for sure! Way to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flora123 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I started Mar 8th as well. I did a Whole 60 in early Sept, and had really great results (lost 10 lbs, clear skin, belly bloat gone, better energy, stomach issues decreased, headaches and migraines decreased from daily to rarely, shifted attitude towards food and its purpose). And then holidays came and it was a struggle to get back on track ever since. After several failed starts, I decided to ease up and do a Whole 7. Maybe 30 days was just too daunting and it was leading to self-sabotage. For right now, I'm taking it 1 day at a time and properly congratulating myself when the day is done. When these 7 days are up, I will strive for another 7, and so on...until Mexico on the last week of April. This past Sat, the day before official Day 1, I went on a day-long meditation retreat, and I was shocked at how intense my sugar cravings were. Being "forced" to sit with it and focus on it, and not grab the nearest cookie or chocolate bar to shut it up, showed me how strong of a mental pull these cravings had. It was eye-opening. Anyways, that's me. And would love to hear how you are all doing? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's crazy how hard those manufactured substances hit our brains! I hope you string together a few Whole7's because if you just do 7 days at a time with "breaks" in teh middle, you just get to keep experiencing the worst parts of the Whole30 over and over and that's no fun for anyone. The magic usually starts to happen after the 10-12th day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
