MaylinBE Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi My Name is Maylin! I live in Columbus, Ohio and a few friends and me started Whole30 for the first time on Monday(Jan2)!! The first day was hard, the second day was less hard! Today is day 3 and I'm excited because I'm closer to day 30!! Any tips are welcome! Being Latina this is a challenge, but I just saw that I can have plantain chips sooo I'm excited again! Good luck everyone and I will share my progress here soon!

thehousewherecrazylives Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Welcome to the Whole 30! I've done one Whole 30, and we're just starting another one. Something that helped me keep going was taking a close up of my face every few days. The little differences I could see between even a few days really helped me be more motivated to keep going. Between week 1 and week 2, it was incredible how much my face changed just from being so much less puffy! My other tip is to really, really encourage you to not think of it as just 30 days--factor in the reintroduction time, too. We screwed reintroduction up last time largely because I was just so focused on getting to Day 31, and the result is that while we felt and looked a lot better while doing the W30, we didn't learn which foods were affecting us the in the worst ways. Good luck! I really think this is a very worth while venture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aprilb Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 This is a great idea!!!!! I am also in my second round, and although I didn't do the face pictures every few days, I could see where it would be helpful ... I definitely remember telling my mom after just a few days that I felt like my skin was younger and radiant! Good idea to stay motivated when you have no scale to default to!!!

I don't want to do yo yo dieting I want to lose the weight and feel great everyday! I will keep in mind your tips! Good luck and I learn something I hope I do lol I will share too!!!
