Coffeeandshoes Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I'm very excited about doing the Whole30 2013 starting January 1. This will be my 3rd. Last year was amazing and It taught me to be stronger in myself and my food choices. I think each cycle becomes easier. This year, I intend to have NO slipups. No cheats no extras of any kind. I'm tapering starting this last week, getting ready for the New Year and making healthy holiday choices. The thing that excites me the most? The "why didn't I think of that"? Is Having some extra meals prepared for those "oh I have no time" moments. I'm going to have some jerky/veggies with me at all times for emergencies and have pre cooked meals in the freezer for those emergencies. I only know about three people who don't think I'm crazy for this. But guess what? me and those three people are healthier/happier and more energetic than all the people who think I'm crazy.

Susan W Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I am doing my fourth W30 on Jan 1. I pretty much do 90%-95% W30 anyway but my friend Derval is doing one so I want to join in. Your plan sounds solid. My motto is failing to plan is planning to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Congrats on the no slips no cheats...I truly respect the people that do 100% compliance and the people that start over when they slip...so you already have my full attention and kudos! I am totally rooting for ya and I will be there with you too! I am smack in the middle of a Whole30 right now (Day 15 y'all and 100% compliant!) and I am actually doing a Whole60 because my good friend is starting on January 1st and I am nothing but there for her! Susan...I am LOVING your motto...so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewie Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 The pre-prepared food is an awesome idea! Great for those late work nights. I understand about people thinking you're crazy- all of my coworkers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornsfankatie Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 This will be my first Whole30, I am terrified but excited. I was telling my other half today that I am already putting back cash for my January food budget. I like the idea of already pre-planning out meals now and having them grab and go. I have warned my friends I may bit of a hermit next month as I don't want the temptation of a drink. I can do this for me. I will do this for me. I am ready.

Michele West Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm starting on January 1st as well! I ordered the book last night and I'm familarizing myself with the ins and outs of the plan. I'm nervous as I love, love, love to cook and bake! It's going to completey change the way I look at food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJam Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I am soooo proud of y'all already... I see big and serious success stories coming out of this thread. Keep reading and prepping and laying a very very solid foundation to be success come the new year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm in - doing a second Whole30 right now and taking a break between Christmas and New Year's, then starting up again. Probably Jan. 2 here, since Jan. 1 is a big holiday where I live and there are some holiday foods I want to enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshacklett Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'll be on board Jan 2 as well! I have the week between Christmas and New Years off, and I plan on doing lots of shopping and make-ahead meals and snacks so I can't blame lack of time!

JoyfulSusan Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm starting January 1 also. I tried to do it once before, unsuccessfully. I didn't have a plan before I started, which was a big mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmomm2000 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm in! Did a similar challenge for 45 days and did really well but when it ended, I floundered and went wild so I'm in for at least 30 but hopefully for much longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demos88 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I am in. Today is day 8 for me, so I have a head start. If I can make it through Christmas and New Years, I can make it through anything. I am feeling good so far, but have experienced some shifts in sleep, appetite, workouts. I am reading Gary Taubes' book, too. Motivating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awynbissinger Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm starting the Whole30 with the new year! I just discovered this in the last week, so I am continuing to read through the website, forum, blogs and searching out recipes in preparation of creating a menu. I am eagerly anticipating a full body cleansing. Here's to my health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johanna Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Starting 1-1-13!! Have been grain-free and 98% sugar free for the past 6 months with amazing results. Looking forward to the W30 and eliminating a few other things that I'm pretty sure are giving me troubles. Will be interesting to see if that's confirmed. Good Luck everyone else who is just starting!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm nervous as I love, love, love to cook and bake! It's going to completey change the way I look at food. I bought the book yesterday. I was going to just use the website but decided I needed the extra info. Plus I like highlighting and jotting notes in books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindyj Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'll be starting my first Whole30 on Jan. 7. I'm both excited and terrified at the same time. I'm excited to see how my body reacts to the change, and I'm terrified as I have no experience 'cutting' anything out of my diet - ever. This weekend will be 'clean out the pantry' weekend and next will be 'cook like mad' weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRM Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm in for a Whole 45, starting January 1. Can't wait. Good luck everyone!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleogramma Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I'm in for my second whole 30 starting Jan 1. I did my last one in September. I felt great and have a much better appreciation for how off plan foods affect me. I did pretty well riding my own bike until Christmas. Lets just say that I need to hit the reset button! I also plan to make exercise a much bigger priority this time through. For those of you new to this, I highly recommend signing up for the daily emails. They are fun and very motivating. Here's to a fantastic 2013! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoyfulSusan Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 How's everyone doing so far? I know I need to up my veggies, but otherwise doing good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
