CSPAN had the best coverage, by far, of the SCOTUS stuff today. They even played the audio over a video with photos of who was talking at what points, which I found helpful. Other than Scalia's grating voice, it's sometimes hard to pick out who is speaking at what time.

Question: I've only lost 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks, and I've noticed that I'm not eating as much as I used to (simply because I'm not hungry). Do you think this decrease in calories could attribute to the slowed down weight loss? I suppose a body could still go into starvation mode when eating primal, but I'm a bit discouraged. Advice?

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been gone this last week. But I have good news! Although I only lost 2 pounds in the last 2 weeks, I am still down 15 in 1 month and feel GREAT. Here are some photos of my progress (which I've taken every 2 weeks): Still doing great with the workouts, but I NEED TO GO TO CLASS. Seriously.

It's alright to have a treat every once in a while. You've just got to expect that the scale/inches won't show as much as they would. I had a few shots of rum with some friends this weekend, which meant my liver was busy processing booze rather than assisting in fat burning. But I went into it knowing that. As long as you treated your weekend the same way, you should be fine I'm glad you're progressing so well!

Alright, I only lost 1 pound this week, which puts me down to 132. I've also stopped being hungry. I sometimes have to remind myself to eat, which NEVER used to be me. Anyone else have experience with that? I started doing the Beginner Bodyweight workout rather than using the You Are Your Own Gym app, because I like the circuit format. Did 4 circuits today on my first try. Gonna go for at least 5 on Wednesday! Hoping for a big number next week! Still going strong with primal, hiking, etc. I also recently obtained The Primal Blueprint, which is a cool, pseudo-spiritual complementary book to Why We Get Fat (which I'm also reading). Feeling like a badass cavewoman already

Well, this week I only lost 1 pound (down to 132), but I'm not too shook up about it. I'm hoping it means I'll have a big number next week I started doing the Beginner Bodyweight Workout rather than You Are Your Own Gym, since I like the idea of circuit training. Did 4 circuits with ease today. As for the challenge, I have a Wavemaster kick bag in the apartment that weighs about 200 pounds. I'll drag it across the living room and back--add that to the end of the circuit. How's that foam roller treating you Oakley? Oh, one question: Today, I've only eaten 800 calories (part of which was a Pro Complex protein shake after the workout). It's not because I'm trying to stay below a certain number. In fact, the only reason I track my food (using MyFitnessPal) is to see my carb/fat/protein ratios at the end of the day. But I'm kind of shocked at how little I ate. I just haven't been hungry. Is that part of eating primal? I've heard a lot of people just lose the rumblies in their tumblies.

Sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up!

Bump. Ladies? Anyone?

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. Thank you for sharing

theanne, your hair looks GREAT. I've had butt-length long hair forEVER. Might just chop it off once I get a bit more fit. You inspired me!

Good to know that I got a free bottle then!

Hey ladies, I'm doing great with my weight loss, but like many people who get up to 245 pounds, I have significant stretch marks on my lower stomach. I was wondering if any of you have lost a lot of weight and found your stretch marks becoming lighter? Or am I doomed to be a striped tiger for life? PLEASE GIVE ME GOOD NEWS!

Sounds like you're doing a great job! I'm curious, how goes the hula-hooping?

Haha! Nah, that was over the course of a few hours. I can generally hold my booze fairly well. It just hit me a lot quicker than usual. Which I was fiiine with
