feenix2010 2 Posted January 10, 2019 Since I have to go away for a family event this weekend, I have decided to be smart and set my starting date for Monday, January 14. This will also allow me to plan out my meals and go grocery shopping on Sunday. My reason for starting this is two-fold. I live with an autoimmune disease (psoriatic arthritis with some psoriasis). While my medications are working wonders to control it, it would be nice if I could control the inflammation some and be able to cut down on one of my meds. I have been feeling sluggish since gaining some weight. I want to shed some weight and get my energy levels back in check. Who else is starting on the 14th? 2 MissKim in CA and Elizabeth33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emily Carveth 8 Posted January 14, 2019 Me too! Kicked off this morning! Hoping to help manage my anxiety, depression (and subsequent weight gain from psych meds) and rosacea. 2 MissKim in CA and Elizabeth33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
megbeveridge 59 Posted January 14, 2019 Good luck to all of you with the first few days! I promise it gets a lot better! Woohoooo day 1! 1 Elizabeth33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SchrodingersCat 521 Posted January 15, 2019 I'm kicking off today (15th here in Australia, but 14th in the USA, I guess!) Bit nervous, not for any real reason, it's just hard overcoming my natural "wah, this is too much". 2 Elizabeth33 and MissKim in CA reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissKim in CA 1 Posted January 15, 2019 I just started today as well. It was a good day! First time ever I made my own Mayo! I laughed when I saw it was emulsifying! 1 Elizabeth33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SchrodingersCat 521 Posted January 15, 2019 Oh, I really want to make mayo but I'm not sure what I want it on, and I don't want to make it until I need it 1 Elizabeth33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or in deviled eggs or chicken or tuna salad. Or there's some ideas for flavored mayos, dips, and sauces here: https://whole30.com/2014/08/mayo-ghee-sauces/. Just in case you need some ideas. 1 SchrodingersCat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k9zoo 15 Posted January 17, 2019 Hi everyone! Just found the "starting 1/14" page. My friend, Liz, and I started 1/14 and so far so good. This is my second round and her first. I am not having near the issues I had in round 1, like crying every day. Perhaps because I did that round all alone. So just checking in for now and will watch all the wonderful progress and ideas from my seat in the Dallas, TX area. 1 Elizabeth33 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping to help manage my anxiety, depression (and subsequent weight gain from psych meds) and rosacea. From my 2017 round 1 of Whole30, I found the depression and anxiety peaked for me on Day 3. A moderator suggested adding potatoes to help with the transition. It helped me. Good luck, stay on the forum--it helps too. I was never a big forum junkie, but you get inspiration and good ideas. You also figure out that what you are feeling is normal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
