Jenn_F427 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I've created a small network of friends, family and co-workers who are willing to start this journey with me. I know it won't be easy, but it'll be a lot easier having a circle of people to turn to! Excited, yet nervous, to begin on Monday. Can't wait to see what's in store!

sunshine33 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi. Starting Monday 16th too,my daughter in law just text me to say she's going to join me. Finished my first 1 on Tuesday but think a couple of things I ate may have been non compliant by mistake but still felt fab (after first week which was yucky!) Lost 11lb and 7 1/2 inches. Gonna pay more attention to labels this time checking ingredients. Must remember glasses when shopping! Look forward to reading how you are getting on.

SaturdaySunshine Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Good luck! I'm starting Monday too. I have gone from super excited to doubting myself. I'm a huge bread/pasta/cheese/pop lover lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFay Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I started last Monday and I've been pleasantly surprised how easy it has been! Once I started to focus on what I could eat instead of what I couldn't I actually started to ENJOY cooking and prepping my meals (and this is coming from someone who hates cooking.) I unfortunately don't have anyone doing the challenge with me (this time!) but after explaining it to my friends and coworkers they are more than happy to help me along the way. Good luck!!

hlsprake Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Me too! I am excited, but nervous as well ... I already do meal prep via TheFresh20, but will have to cut out the pasta/rice/quinoa and honey/maple syrup that shows up in these recipes. Send good vibes to all of you!

SaturdaySunshine Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Day 1... good luck, everyone! I'm one meal and one snack in and so far so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalDebbo Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 This is day 1 for me as well. So far so good. Surprised at how well it is going so far but I am at work. The true test will be when I get home. I am feeling optimistic tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturdaySunshine Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 One thing I'm learning is that I either need to eat MORE or make choices that fill me up better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanya K Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Saturday Sunshine that is one of the most important things to do in order to stave off those hunger pangs and temptations that come along with that. I have found drinking a tablespoon of coconut oil in warm water amazing for staving off hunger. After drinking it if someone offered me a chocolate I think I would run as I feel so full. That satiating effect for me lasts such a good long while too. Best of luck to everyone. There is a whole load of support here from very experienced and knowledgeable members.

If you're trying to stave off hunger, it's probable that your meals could use some tweaking, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaturdaySunshine Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Thanks ladyshanny! I've made some tweaks and am doing better. I'm feeling so amazing already! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayWebs Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Awesome! I am starting today (Wednesday, March 18th) and am super excited about it. I am a nutritionist but have never subscribed to the whole "Paleo" line of thinking before. After enough clients asked me about it, I read "It Starts with Food" and was intrigued. I figured I might as well try it out... especially with the new updated nutrition guidelines (which are way more relaxed towards saturated fats and cholesterol). So here goes nothing! Best of luck to you all and and thank you in advance for the support! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzo0904 Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 I started on the 16th as well! So far its going well. I made a breakfast casserole with four eggs, a can of pumpkin and half a can of coconut milk. Baked it for 45 minutes and topped with pecans. Pretty good. I'll add more cinnamon next time.
