Ok, thank you so much! x

Thank you! Just wondering if anyone could help me with my first question on getting started? http://nerdfitnessrebellion.com/index.php?/topic/35633-not-sure-what-i-should-be-eating/#entry666126 Thans again! x

Ok brilliant. So at first just focus on starting to clean up my diet, tracking my calories and getting active, then start cutting my calories to lower my bf% and lose some weight and THEN i can focus more on weight training and building some muscle? I was of the understanding with the paleo diet that you didn't have to count calories? Is that just if you weren't as focused on losing weight or? Thank you so much! Katie x

Thank you so much! I real hope so I think that's our best bet, couple of things at a time - good luck to you! X

I'm a complete beginner and after losing 8kg recently, will be stepping into my local gym for the first time at the start of September. I expect for the first couple of weeks to do some cardio and get used to my surroundings until I feel comfortable. I've planned that once I am comfortable, i'll follow the article on how to build your own workout routine (http://www.nerdfitne...orkout-routine/) and that will start my progress off until I find things that are more suitable for me? I am massively interested in following the paleo diet and would eventually like to make that transition. I have no idea which way to go in terms of what I should be eating? My diet at the moment is relatively healthy in terms of meals. I eat a lot of veg and try not to eat a lot of pasta/carbs. I eat mainly white meat and fish but also enjoy bacon every few days haha. At the moment I don't eat bread of rice as I feel that it bloats me and makes me put lbs back on. I eat too many sweets and artificial sweetners at the moment but am slowly cutting them out as I type, but don't feel as though this will be a problem. My aim really is to lower my body fat %, lose some more weight/get smaller, but also put on some muscle and look lean and tight. I keep reading about calorie surplus and deficit etc. but as much as I read I don't have a clue what I should be doing. I know I shouldn't compare but I have a favourite lady that I like to look up to at the moment, and in essence this is what i'm aiming for - http://instagram.com/moietys Any help? Katie x

So i'm an 18 year old female from the UK that, after losing 8kg doing 'Slimming World', has decided to clean things up. It was a bit rocky losing the weight and I don't eat the healthiest so i'm now interested in 'levelling up' my life with Nerd Fitness. Although vague at the moment, I aim to make a slow transition into the Paleo diet. Have already read up and bought the Nerd Fitness app for Paleo. I aim to start regularly working out as well as running/getting out into the world on my journey. I will be taking my first steps into my local gym at the beginning of next month and feel as though I need a little support with it I've started my fitness journey and just need a little help to keep going, and what a place to get it!? After looking around the site and signing up to the emails/newsletters, I feel as though it makes a lot of sense to me. Saint's story really inspired me and made me realize how unhealthy my diet really is, and that's why i've hit a 'wall'. I aim to change a couple of things at a time to keep it achievable and by this time next year, be a lot happier and closer to what I feel on the inside. Hope you can help me! Feeling SUPER motivated!! Katie x
