District221B Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've been a lurker on NF for a while, but with the new challenge starting I thought it was the perfect time to join the boards. To make my story short, I've always bigger than most girls my age. I was my lowest weight in high school (of course). Went to college, gained the obligatory 15 (+ 45) pounds and have been working on getting it off since. I've done diets, had success...and then gained it all back. I never had a solid workout program besides cardio cardio cardio. I started working with a trainer in February who has the same ideas about fitness I do. I've cut some cardio and added weights three times a week, and have seen some progress so far. I also started following the Primal Blueprint. As long as I can keep my focus, I feel like this is the year I reach my goals. Looking forward to being a part of the rebellion! Quote Link to comment

knightrider Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 The primal blueprint is good stuff, my wife follows that and I did too until I found that for me my body does better w paleo, point being to try some variation until you find your optimal combination, Welcome to the rebellion!!---I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?eskarf Quote Keep your scanners peeled!

District221B Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I definitely need to play around with the diet side a little more. I haven't looked into Paleo quite as much, but I will check it out. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
District221B Posted March 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 Thanks, MirGSS. I think so, too! Quote Link to comment
JPanda Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 I've recently just begun the transformation of my diet to full primal, with the occasional rice (I'm Flip >.<) and pasta (my dad is Italian >.<) and I'm loving it. Feeling good all day and have plenty of energy for workouts. Quote My FitocracyMy FacebookMy PSN: Judo_PandaMy SteamID: Astroboi Link to comment
District221B Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm working on full primal...it's going to take a while to totally change my habits. (Obviously). Kudos to you for going through with it even with the cultural challenges! I think pasta will be the only thing I really miss, lol. I can definitely tell it's helping with my energy levels as well though. Quote Link to comment
