eyeesha Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hello, I've been on my weight loss journey for almost a year, and while I have had some success, I have definitely found that my struggles are with my diet and with finding support in staying on the right path (so to speak). So when my trainer mentioned the Whole 30 diet, I decided that I would at least see if I can make it through a month with more structured eating. I chose the 14th because I'm going on vacation at the end of April and I figure it would be much easier if my eating isn't as restricted then. I also live with lots of family who have no dietary restrictions, so hopefully i can find support on sticking to the diet over the next few weeks Thanks and good luck to anyone else starting soon!!

ruigteach Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I'm starting the 14th as well. I've been planning for weeks. I'm looking forward to healing my gut and seeing what is bothering me most. I have been sugar free for a couples already and I feel better already. Best to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yov2223 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I myself am also starting on the 14th, I hope to use this forum as a guide and motivation. After lots of research and preparation I hope this will become a stepping stone to a life changing journey. Well wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primalamy Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I'm starting on the 14th too! I started one in January but due to health issues had to stop.I also did one a few years ago and lost 15 pounds. Time to get back on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I'm starting on the 14th as well. This will be my second one. The first was about 6 months ago. Lots of prep work to do this weekend, mostly just getting my mind set and ready to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madamechat Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hi all! I'm starting the 12th but hope I can still join the conversation? What I am hoping for is to feel better, and keep AI conditions at ease. I have had an inflammatory attack of my spinal cord last year, which is likely a first sign of MS. Weightloss is much appreciated as well! I have lost about 18kg in the last year by eating paleo, but it has been very difficult to keep on track lately..

skye2977 Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 I'm also starting on the 14th. A bit anxious already as I'm not too good at cooking... I try to get rid of the sugar and junkfood habit and progress towards more healthy stuff, giving me more energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaeMcW Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Hi! I'm hoping to join your convo/group too! I started on the 11th. I have shopped, prepped and am ready. I'm 7 wks post partum, nursing and looking good reset my bad habits, increase my energy and set some new foundations of healthy habits for my family.

skye2977 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 What do you girls think: Should we keep this thread for all of us to update how it goes? I finally put my meal plan on paper and will do the food shopping tomorrow. (Shops in Germany are closed on Sundays unfortunately...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Never Give up Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hey guy, I will be started on the 14 March as will. I'm sick and tried. being sick and tried all the time. I just when to the store I don't feel ready. but I don't over think it. See you all at the end of 30 days.....Help on the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madamechat Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Made it through day 1. No withdrawal symptoms, no headaches, not hungry... Had made some awesome lamb curry, hard to think of it as being a 'diet' this way. Downside, it's just a lot of cooking and washing up, so get ready. Nevertheless; conclusion from day 1, so far so good For everybody that is starting tomorrow, enjoy the last days of food freedom !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skye2977 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Thanks! I'm definitely spoiling myself today. We went out for lunch today: breaded Schnitzel (pork escalope - typical German food). Now in the afternoon a piece of cake plus some Coke. Let's see how things go tomorrow without all the carbs & sugar... Crossfit class already scheduled for 7 am, afterwards a quick breakfast with eggs & bacon/prosciutto (plus some nuts for fat, as I don't have avocado here yet). For lunch I'm trying out Frittata muffins plus Buffalo Chicken Salad for dinner. In between all the grocery shopping, other errands and cooking.

acgoodma Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I am starting tomorrow, March 14th. Looking forward to finding energy and health again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbiedru Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Good luck to you all. I'm not starting until Weds the 16th as I work in a high school and our spring break is this week. I wanted a couple of days to prepare before I started. In hindsight I should have started tomorrow as well to be on the same schedule as you guys. I will be following your posts anyway...you'll only be a couple of days ahead of me. We can do this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madamechat Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi guys, For me day 2 is almost over (I'm in Europe).. No withdrawal or discomfort, so far. Even though I have been more or less paleo the last year, the last few weeks were filled with bread, cheese, sugary treats, so I had expected a bit more detoxy feelings.. Tomorrow back to work, so fingers crossed that I will still be feeling okay .. Good luck for the starters tomorrow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmoM Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I am starting on the 15th...my first round of Whole 30 that I keep postponing for a million different excuses. Excited but super nervous. Looking to slay my sugar dragon and develop a better relationship with food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guila95 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 My mother and I will also be starting on the 14th. We have both struggled with our weight and health and we hope that this will help us get back on track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madgical Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I am starting on the 14th as well... Ready for day 1, I hope! I am looking to reset my appetite, cut my sugar addiction, and lose the pain in my joints. A tall order, but I believe it can happen. Good luck to all of the other March 14 folks!

primalamy Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I ate the rest of my gluten free bread for breakfast, had sushi from my favorite place for dinner and I am currently drinking the rest of my wine right now. Ready for tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherK Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm starting tomorrow as well. I've eaten primarily vegetarian for several months now so I'm cringing at all the meat. But I have a slow metabolism and have had challenges with regular constipation. I suspected gluten but now I'm thinking its dairy (which is an even bigger bummer), but I'm out to use this plan to see where the problems are. Hopefully we can all keep encouraging each other.

Lisa N Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm starting on the 14th too! I've done an elimination diet before (for food allergies) but this one is a little more strict. I'm actually looking forward to it because my boyfriend is doing this with me! I look forward to keeping up with everyone and sharing our progress!
