melissaK Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hi Everyone, I am so glad that I can find some support with this community. I successfully completed my first Whole30 at the beginning of February! I lost weight, my skin cleared up, I slept better and had more energy to stick to a 13.1 training schedule (completed the ING Miami Half Marathon at the end of January). Since then I tried incorporating Paleo into my regular lifestyle, because my social life started slowing down and my husband and I felt limited on how and when we can hang out with our friends. But now I am back to my original weight with zero will power after 3 months of giving into temptation. So, to jumpstart back into my lifestyle change, I am on day 2 of my second round of a Whole30! I feel good about it and motivated to get myself and my husband through May and after that stick with 80/20 paleo! Thanks already for all your support and advice along the way!

candacevasko Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 I am in the SAME EXACT boat as you. I have tried multiple times to start a second 30 but keep failing. Today is day two for me as well and I just wanted to let you know that we CAN do this! Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic.renk Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Very interesting you posted this as my hubby and I were just talking about that exact topic. We are on day 3 and he is already looking at the end, which is good, but is concerned about putting weight lost back on. I really like the 80/20 mentality, I'll keep that in mind after we finish!

Michele Larocque Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 back to the basics for me also. I completed a Whole30 about a month ago, and while I kept with the eating plan since then, there have been some exceptions. What I've noticed is on the day after those "exception days" I don't feel so hot, kind of (really) bloated, allergies sneaking in, and I actually want more of whatever it was I ate. Another reason I want to do another Whole30 is to get a better handle on hunger levels, portion size and my after dinner snacking habit, because really, it is a habit, a forty year old habit with a lot of emotional entanglements built into it...During my first round I didn't see the weight loss I was hoping for and I'm pretty sure these three things are partly responsible. So here I am. I feel fairly settled into the idea of letting go of my need for eating more than I'm actually hungry for, and for comfort from food in the pm hours. I know there are likely to be some troubled waters as I address the underlying reasons these habits got so entrenched to begin with, which is why I have a good stock of soothing green teas in the house. It may be a substitute on occasion, but it's one I can live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
