krasavitsa Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I've been trying to lose weight for the last 10 years, and have been a classic yo-yo dieter. Last year I had a lot of success doing a candida cleanse...which seems similar to a paleo diet as far as what I can/can't eat, but is much more regimented. I lost about 35lbs and have now put it all back on +2. I have been reading NF for about 6 months and love the articles. I tell everyone about it. I'm nervous sharing my journey with others. I am a very introverted person when it comes to my health, mental and physical, but feel like getting myself out there and having a support group will help me to stay focused and not "fall off the wagon." Although my husband is supportive in his way, it's not enough to keep me going. I need a community to help me become the best, healthiest, fittest, etc. I can be. I'm hoping this is it!

Tanktimus the Encourager Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Welcome to the rebellion. Before I found NF I went from 270 to 208 on the South Beach diet then rebounded back up to 300. I'm working my way back down, so I feel you on the backsliding. This is a great place to be for support. 1 Quote Current Challenge "By the Most-Righteous-and-Blessed Beard of Sir Tanktimus the Encourager!" - Jarl Rurik Harrgath Link to comment
Gobnait Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 There is no need to be nervous, we're mostly friendly here. As far as your "wagon," perhaps it was too restrictive. Maybe it might be better to build a lifestyle change and induce a minor restriction that dances around the border of sustainable. Quote I have conditions that affect my social awareness.

honeybadger Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 This is definitely the place to be if you are looking for a positive supportive community! There are many like minded introverts here (myself included). Share as much or as little as you are comfortable with. I have found people to be nothing but supportive and welcoming.

krasavitsa Posted October 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thank you all for the wonderful comments! I'm starting anew tomorrow with small changes. Namely dietary and will hopefully be back to the gym or at least walking more by the end of the week. I was also given a set of weights and a bench, so here we go!
