Hello fellow Nerd Fitness folks,
Over the last eight weeks, Rebel Timelord and I have been participating in the beginning body weight workouts 3xs a week and have moved to a Paleoish diet. He's way ahead of me in interacting here on the forums, but he's received so much positive feedback and encouragement I thought I'd join in too.
I've been fairly active most of my adult life: jogging, walking, Zumba, and some cycling; but I've struggled for years to maintain a healthy weight. I've attempted Weight Watchers, LA Weightloss and most recently the Dukan Diet. I lost 30 pounds on Dukan, but a year and a half after following the program, I've gained most of that back...
that is until I've begun chipping away at this weight gain over the last 8 weeks with Nerd Fitness.
It is my hope to say goodbye to the 30lbs I've lost many times over AND find a way to maintain a healthier weight for the long haul -
so my motto is...
"Always we begin again".
Rebel Timelord are looking forward to the next 4 week challenge and plan to continue with the following quests:
1. Body weight workout 3xs week
2. Paleoish whole foods diet
3. (Myself) Walking 6xs a week (foot healing from a bone bruise so have to do low impact cardio for a bit)
4. Taking a cooking class to learn more Paleo cooking hacks...
What advice or wisdom do you have to share?
Thanks in advance for your help.

@Dagger thanks for the kind response. The cooking class is being offered at our local community college and is Paleo and Gluten Free - @Rebel_Timelord is also planning on attending the class with me. I'll post recipes if we find some tasty ones!
