April Smith Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Looking forward to learning from this community when I start my first whole 30 in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debbie_70 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi April! I'm starting my first Whole30 January 1st, too! Maybe we can help support one another! I'm going to need all the support I can get lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanna Evans Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I'm starting on Jan 1 as well, I think it would be great if we could have a little support group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Smith Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share Posted December 26, 2017 Hi Debbie and Mireille, Yes! I'm going to want lots of support too! I'm not as far along with my meal planning as I'd like to be with holidays in full swing. How is planning going for you two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanna Evans Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 It's slow because of the holidays, but I have a single serve crock-pot so I am planning lots of soups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Su- Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Hi all I am starting my first Whole30 on January 1st as well. I am a bit scared to be honest and hoping I can stay on track and do this. What better way to start the new year right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karissa DP Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I've eaten Paleo on and off for years, but I'm also starting my first Whole30 on January 1st! I'm super excited (and nervous)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trina Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I’m going for the whole 30 days. Fallen off the wagon a couple of times and need someone to encourage and accountable to. PS I live in Norway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissEmilyRae Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi everyone! I'm starting my second Whole30 on January 1st! I'm excited to see so many people joining in. I'm seeing some uncertainty in a few of your posts, so I want to give this bit of encouragement: I know you can all finish the 30 days!! The biggest motivator for me was mentally committing to succeed. I love this paragraph from the Whole30 Fast & Easy book: "Don't even consider the possibility of a 'slip'... Commit to the program 100 percent for the full 30 days. Don't give yourself an excuse to fail before you've even started" (Hartwig, page xi). You can and WILL succeed! Will you be faced with a delicious, off-plan food that you really don't want to turn down? Yes. Will you spend a seemingly endless amount of time in the kitchen? Yes. Will you get through it anyway because you're a strong, amazing man/woman? HELL YES. The more you acknowledge and mentally prepare for the temptations ahead, the easier they are to conquer. YOU. CAN. DO. THIS. Good luck to all of you (but you don't need it because you're awesome and don't need luck to make healthy choices)! Let me know if you find yourself in need of a pep-talk at any point!

foodfamilywine Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I'll be starting another round January 1st as well. Last year, I had 2 friends join me and we meal prepped together. It was so fun and really helped to have other on-board. This year, I'm actually teaching 4 Whole30 cooking classes at my local Whole Foods. I'm excited to share recipes and tips about Whole 30 with anyone who is interested in listening. I do a lot of meal prepping because of my work schedule. I don't like to spend a lot of time cooking after a long day. I also try to have "emergency meals" ready in my freezer. That could be single servings of meatballs, burgers, sausages, or different casseroles that I have made extra portions of. I am excited to see so many people joining for the first time! I would suggest taking some time to write down "why" you want to do the Whole30. This gives you something to look back at when you are struggling. Good luck!

April Smith Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Hi! How is everyone doing at the end of day 4? I'm so glad I bought Whole30 Day by Day because it described exactly how I felt today, Kill All The Things! I thought I was crazy until I read that it was pretty normal.

I was fine until 2pm and noticed my first yawn of the day. I remember thinking, wow! I haven't yawned all day. Then I yawned again. Two and a half hours later, and I think I've jumped ahead to the "I just want a nap" stage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
