Weight loss aw!

[joenali]

DH and I are nearing the end of Whole 30!

We have only a couple of days left. So we thought we would weigh ourselves today. DH lost 18 pounds, and he was not overweight. I lost 11 pounds! Wow! Why would I ever go back to my old habits?

[kams]

Oh my gosh, great job!

You know what I might be most impressed by? I didn't hear one complaint about it! I'd be bitching and moaning from day 1!

Congrats! That is awesome work!

[joenali]

No complaints! We wanted some special treats but we held off! I think we are going to keep going but with a little less restriction.

That is awesome!

Strong work! Did you buy a book?

I need a serious eating habits overhaul.

I only bought Well Fed (recipes) and did some reading online.

The book that explains the science and reasoning behind W30 is It Starts With Food, in case you're interested. Also, I mod the Whole30 board, so come ask questions if you'd like

For real! I don't think I'm tough enough to hang for even a week.

Wow! Nice job.

Great job!! I'm so impressed that you and the many others that are doing it can stick to it. I did 1/2 of a whole foods detox (similar, but could have legumes) and couldn't make it the full 10 days because the reduction in carbs totally killed me (I love bread and pasta). Way to go!!

11lb in 30 days?? wow! Nice job!

I know! It's crazy! No counting calories, eat when you are hungry, stop when you are full. No sugar, grains or legumes. Sugar is in everything! I think that is what helped the most. Eliminating the sugar intake every day. And honestly, I really don't miss it.

That's amazing, great job!

Ok, so I am kiiiiiind of considering doing a Whole30 when I'm back from England (just got here, back mid-Oct). If I get more serious about it, I'll ask on the Whole30 board as well, but since this is here, how did you feel in terms of any effect on H&F stuff? I know you're not full speed right now, but did you feel like this had either a positive or negative effect on the activities you are doing these days?

Wow...that's awesome! Good work! I'm going to Google the Whole 30 plan right now LOL

Yep, I didn't do whole 30 precisely but cut out sugar back in February. The weight just fell off. It was amazing.

Great job!! BTW!!

It can be pretty challenging when you're an athlete, but it can be done.

I think it has made my running better! Less weight to carry around!

That is awesome and incredibly motivating.
