I wanted to post about this to see if I could find someone who has done this diet and to get some feedback. There is this diet that my friend did called the "Whole30". It is based off of a book called "It Starts With Food". They seem to stress that the purpose of the diet is not to lose weight (although you will), but to restart your system. A friend of mine did the full 30 days and she said it was the best thing she has ever done. It's basically a Paleo diet, but it's really strict. No dairy, no legumes, no carbs, and you need to avoid night shade vegetables. Has anyone else ever done this diet and what did you think???View Thread

I know it's been a hot minute. I fell off the diet and fitness wagon a few months ago. I got caught up with my job and this exam that I had to take and that was the end of it. Been having a hard time getting back on track since. This is typical for me, but it's gosh darn annoying! I get on a roll, lose 10 pounds, and then something happens that trips me up and I end up back where I was. I picked up some supplements from the drug store yesterday to help me get back on track. I wanted to have 30 pounds gone by now. Oh well, getting upset about it isn't going to make it happen any faster!!View Thread





I'm sorry about your mouth tomato! Ouch! But I'm sure it will be worth it once your healed up after you have the implants done!View Thread

I recently started a new job and it's completely thrown me off. I'm findining it extremely dificult to stick with a healthy diet and to get to the gym at the end of the day. Going to the gym in the morning doesn't work for me as I already get up at 5:45 as it is. When the new year started, I had a goal to lose 30 lbs by the end of June. Well, I haven't lost anything and we are almost to May. I am beginning to feel extremely bummed out and angry with myself. Anyone have any suggestions for how to deal with what I am feeling right now and for how to get back on track?View Thread

Hope everyone is doing well. I haven't posted in awhile. Made an attempt to jump back on the healthy bandwagon back in July and I fell off. Still have my original goal of losing 30 pounds. **hangs head and sighs** Wish I could just be consistent and do what I gotta do. Just sick and tired of being sick and tired, but feel too sick and tired all the time to do anything about it.
I know what I have to do in regards to diet changes and exercising, but I just can't find the willpower or endurance anymore. How can I jumpstart myself and light a fire under my butt?

I know, I know, I know...and I can "I know" myself to death and it's not gonna get me anywhere. I dunno why I have been having such a hard time. Now that I am aware of this issue that I have, I'm realizing how it has been controlling my life on a daily basis. It's absolutely rediculous. I mean, people are able to give up heroine for crying out loud, but I'm struggling with not having a candy bar?? I feel so stupid! And I feel guilty when I give in to it, which has been more often than not as of late.
My biggest vulnerable point is when I get home from work. I'm soooooo good during the day! I food journal, I eat well...and then I come home and all bets are off! I munch, I binge, and make poor food choices and then I feel like total crap about myself and I feel defeated.
And then there is the workout issue! I'm so drained at the end of the day, all I want to do is rest. I know that exercising is the best thing for my fibromyalgia, but one symptom that gets the best of me 90% of the time is the fatigue. I thought about going in the morning so that it is out of the way and I'm not ruminating about it all day, but that would require me to get up at 4:30 in the morning, and quite frankly, i'm not so sure if I can handle that either! Ugh!
I'm doing what you told me to do Barb...I'm VENTING!! ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
