Readyfor30! Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 I'm a newbie to Whole30 but have been preparing for a couple of months. I am starting on Sept 3 and my husband is joining me! A little nervous, but also excited to see what this new lifestyle change will bring! I'm putting this out there for accountability! I'm 55, and I know a lot of people in my age bracket will say gaining weight, body pains/aches, lack of energy is all a part of getting older.... but I defy that! I want to be healthy and feel great! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit@62 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I am also starting the Whole30 on September 3rd and was excited to see that you are 55.. At 62 the incredibly conditioned body that I had my entire adult life is gone. It started at 50 but not just because of age. I adopted my daughter in China as a single parent when 46. So stress and lack of time were factors. Like you I defy age and stress. Ready for a reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonehouse Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'm 58 and just finished my 30 days on Tuesday. I've done Whole30s about once a year for the past 4 years. It has changed my life and kept me young! Not completely due to Whole30, but my BMI has gone from obese to normal. Spirit, your daughter's gorgeous! Best of luck to both of you!

spirit@62 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Thank you for your input and thoughtfulness. I am on the low end of the obese BMI which was a shock when it first happened. Your schedule of doing the Whole30 annually is a great system. Getting mentally ready for the reset... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readyfor30! Posted August 23, 2018 Author Share Posted August 23, 2018 It's nice to see others who are in the best years of their lives! I know it takes a lot more work now, but it will be so worth it! Let's do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evethegreat Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 I'd love to join you guys! This will be my second attempt; tried one back in June but I wasn't organized enough to make sure I could actually cook more than four different things in a week. This time I'm planning on spending more time meal planning and grocery shopping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit@62 Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 This is my 1rst Whole 30 and it looks like the prep is essential to success. I cook most weeknights but it isn’t planned. To give myself the best chance at a successful reset I am separating my daughter’s food and soon will grocery shop. Buying chicken breasts, talapia and ground turkey at Costco (great quality) and freezing it in dinner sized portions. Any suggestions on organizing and planning are appreciated.

TheZaftigChick Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Hello everyone!! I am also joining the big group starting on September 3rd. I did a Whole 30 years ago and it was amazing. Because of medical issues that included surgeries and medications, and just plain laziness, I have a loooot of weight to lose. But I am excited to embark on the journey with all of you.

TheZaftigChick Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm surprised there aren't more people in this thread. I thought a bunch of people would be joining the September group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit@62 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Me too, I thought alot of people would start on September 3rd. I haven’t finished the book yet. If you have Trader Joes in your area there is a great video on u tube that shares a bunch of compliant foods available there. And they are priced lower there.

There are several other September Whole30 threads, and probably a few others will start up over the weekend. If you prefer a larger or smaller group than what ends up here or you just want to join multiple groups, check out some of the other ones -- groups develop different dynamics and different people like different types of group interaction. Just browse through the Join The Whole30 section of the forum to find them: https://forum.whole30.com/forum/4-join-the-whole30/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noémi Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I also prepare to start on Monday. I did a whole30 in May, but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it up over the summer. I prepare to do at least a Whole90 exactly, because my stomach is not well, and I want to give my guts a break. I would like to have a team Whole30, I know it will be hard. But I also need to loose a lot of weight, and I need to do it before I have health issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaRae Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Also starting on September 30 at age 56. The BMI into the "obese" range was a wake-up call. Time to do this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit@62 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 It’s exciting that there are a few of us who are ovet 55. I’m getting nervous. Going to Costco for chicken and fish (we don’t eat red meat). Going to Trader Joes for spices, ghee and compliant foods I saw on u tube. We can do this!!!!

Readyfor30! Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 I’m disappointed that I can’t start this on Monday due to something planned on 9/7. I’ll be starting for sure on 9/8. Need to stay accountable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit@62 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Shopping today. Copied the list out of the book, highlighted foods to buy and added Rx bars and Nori strips. Found Nut Pods creamers. I am going to have trouble not using my Silk french vanilla creamer. Can we have Bulletproof coffee (from keto diet)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirolla Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'm starting on 9/3 also! Been preping and reading up for about 3 weeks. Hope to do a Whole 60. I will be 52 in December and hope to celebrate a new me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patty Hirschbuehler Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hi there! I too will be starting Whole30 Sept. 3rd. My daughter invited me to join. I'm feeling challenged to say the least Hugs, Patty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melyhegedu Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi, I'm starting Monday, too. I'm a teacher and it's the first week of school! I'm actually retired, but still substitute in the classroom and have private music students at home. Nice to see other 60+ year-young women here to start the future!

Knine22 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hi All! I'm planning to start my second Whole 30 on September 3rd. Definitely need to get things back on track after the summer. Looking forward to doing this together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kauline Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Starting on the 3rd as well! It’s my first time and I’m excited to make some changes in my life. Good luck everyone! We’ve got this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3across Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Me too! I was inspired at a wedding I attended this weekend by someone who’d lost 20 lbs. on Whole30. That and my own over-indulgence during this holiday weekend pushed me to buy the book. I’ll spend my Labor Day shopping and prepping. Good luck to you all!
