praxisproject Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Whether you're looking to start your first Whole30 on October 1, or wanting to do another, who's with me? It's Spring down under and in the southern hemisphere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenP Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm with you. I started on September 14, but September 30 is a day that I WANT to go off plan. I will have a new official start date of October 1 which will be a great way to avoid all of that extra Halloween candy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susabella627 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I'm in too!! Going for round 3!! Have had great success during my previous two rounds and I do try to stay "Whole" all the time. It's funny how I do better when I am "officially" on plan. Guess I just thrive on the accountability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Hi Susabella!! {waving} I'm in. I talked a friend into doing her 1st Whole 30 so will be joining her in support. This will be my 3rd Whole 30. I only seem able to lose body fat when I'm "officially" on plan, too. Although I've been pretty stoked about maintaining during my re-intros and riding my own bike, it's time to get things moving again. As added incentive, I'm joining my work's Better Body Challenge. You pay an entry fee ($25) and so long as you loose 5% (combined, weight and body fat) you get your fee back. You're also eligible to win other prizes and raffles along the way. There ARE bi-weekly weigh ins for this, but I just won't look/will get on the scale backwards. My incentive isn't weight loss anyway, but rather to get my body fat percentage back down. Quite a lot of my lean muscle turned to fat while I was sitting on the couch nursing a broken foot. Looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulaS7 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 Today my plan is to go shopping and start prepping meals for my first week. I know for me, that is critical to stay on the plan. I need to have meals ready. Any advice for this Newbie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanCalm Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Oct 1 is also my start date. Planning and prepping today also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Today my plan is to go shopping and start prepping meals for my first week. I know for me, that is critical to stay on the plan. I need to have meals ready. Any advice for this Newbie? Buy and cook more food than you think you'll need. Stock some in the freezer pre-cooked for those days you find yourself short. Stick to the meal template for your 3 squares and try not to snack unless you are really truly hungry. Embrace the fat -it's an amazing substance! I remember the first 2 weeks of my 1st w30 I'd do the shopping and cooking and think "there is no way I'm going to get through all this FOOD!" But I always ran low by Friday. I did kahlua pig in the crock pot yesterday and have a chicken to bake today, along with spaghetti squash and butternut plus some yams. I also need to make an egg casserole for breakfasts - that works really well for a meal to take to work and reheat after my morning workout. Guess I better hit the kitchen!

BrittD Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I will be doing my 2nd Whole 30 in October. I have made several attempts since my first one but have failed due to lack of planning so im giving myself time to get all my shopping and food prep done this time.

meghanmathis2011 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I will be starting on October 1. A friend has turned me onto this. I have had some issues in the past with IBS, joint pain, and allergies so I am excited to see if this might help. I have to admit to being slightly nervious, but I'm doing this with a plethra of friends and family. It will be exciting to see the end results. This is my first Whole 30.

Singing Frog Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I'm in. This will be my second Whole30, which was life changing, and a few years ago! I generally eat LC, but need to clean up the details.... SF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcclure777 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 This will be my first Whole30. Looking forward to succeeding with all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraceno92013 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hi there! My husband and I are diving in to our first Whole30 October 1st as well. Looking for supportive friends I'm 23, a grad student, and I have plateaued in the bootcamp workout I go to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurambp Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Another October 1st starter here! I can't wait. I have an insane amount of food sensitivities and have been eating all whole foods as it is. The tricky part for me is going to be giving up gluten and soy, but I know I can do it!

MargaretAnn Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'm starting on Oct 1st too! I've been prepping for a couple of weeks now and have been doing trial meals the last few days. So far, so good. My biggest challenge will be sugar and cheese! But I'm committed to making this work.. can't wait to get back in control of my food intake and my body again!

Laura P. Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Hello everyone! I'm ready for my second round! Almost: Need to do more cooking, preping, freezing... Like BrittD... more prep in order to not fail this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenP Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 This will be my 2nd Whole 30. I completed the first one back in July. I have been keeping with the Whole eating on and off since then. This week, I have been back to all of my bad eating habits because it will be "my last chance" for a while. I have noticed a few things that I want to remember. I am breaking out, I have a bit of asthma when working out, and my knees are not doing well getting up from the floor and when running. I'm not positive that these issues are from the "yuckies" I have been putting in my body, but it will be very interesting to see how quickly the issues clear up when I start the Whole30.

primalamy Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I'm in. I did one a couple of years ago and loved it! I've had a few false starts since then trying round two and am ready to kick some October butt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Well...my friend just backed out on me. Since the only reason I was going to do another Whole 30 was to support her, now I'm not sure if I'm going to start on Oct. 1 after all. I may just continue riding my own bike. I'll think on it today and tomorrow and will let you all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura P. Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 JenX...What about supporting all of us and sticking around for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenX Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 No, I don't think my heart is in is again this soon. But I'll keep my eye on all of you as you soar to amazing heights of health! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith_Schu24 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I will be starting my first Whole30 round on October 1st. Unlike some of you, I'm doing this completely alone (my buddy bailed on me) and without a kitchen of my own (I'm a college student). To be honest, I'm extremely nervous. But I'm determined to accomplish this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
