reggierocket Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 So I stumbled upon this website/forum when I was researching the paleo diet, and it seemed like a great community to get involved with, so Ill start by introducing myself..I'm a college student studying neuroscience, and i love fitness. (neuroscience i know ) I dont consider myself over weight, but I like to be fit. I always played sports growing up, and due to a hip problem, I had to stop playing all the sports I did to keep in shape. I started to feel gross, so two years ago I researched a program called Athlean-XX for women. IT WAS GREAT. I lost 12 lbs and was in the best shape of my life, eating great on the new "diet" they gave us, which they called a lifestyle (which it is). I tried my best to keep it up, but sadly, I gained a little of it back. Last spring I decided to do Insanity! talk about insane.. It was so tough and probably the best hour workouts i've ever gotten in my life.. I got back down and felt great, although I couldn't complete the program because time just did not permit. I felt great and got my weight back down. now being a first semester college student, I tried my best to keep my weight down, however with the disgusting food that they offer, its pretty hard. I gained some weight back and with the stress of work, and even being sick for 5 weeks, i feel gross and wish i could get back into the fitness that I want!My mom just recently found the paleo diet and recommended it to me. Ive heard nothing but great reviews about it and would love to give it a try.. AND to get my fitness and weight back to where i like it I have 38 days until i go to florida, trying to get into shape and feel good about myself before then.. well hi and i'm looking forward to the community!

allirep Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 welcome to NF - best of luck on the paleo diet! it can make a big difference. if your college food is ANYTHING like my experience, then you have your work cut out for you. don't be afraid to be the picky eater or ask for something special. just make sure you thank whatever wait staff/food service employee is helpful!!
