I just read your journal while on an overnight shift. No access to food, your photos made me hungry. Did you ever post that pork belly recipe anywhere? I have a pastured pork belly in the freezer and would like to do something with it.
I was happy to see you have some body shots too. Will be checking back often to see the progress.

I'm working overnight shift tonight and tomorrow night. Will be posting the recipe on my site (under construction - [url=http://www.PrimalFare.ca]Primal Fare[/url]) this week.
Hi Jennifer! I just joined the forums (I've been primal for about 4 months now) and your journey is so inspiring! Keep it up and I look forward to following your progress. Grok on!
Well, it's been 2.5 months. Start day was May 1st. So here's the update.
[B]UPDATE for Weight and Measurements (16 July 12)[/B]
[B]Weight:[/B] 184.4 lbs (-23.6 lbs, 0.61lb loss from last weigh in, 30 June 12)
[B]Bust:[/B] 38.5 in (- 3.5 in, no difference since last measurements, 30 June 12)
[B]Waist: [/B]32.5 in (- 4 in, no difference since last measurements, 30 June 12)
[B]Stomach (navel): [/B]39.5 in (- 3.5 in, no difference from last measurements, 30 June 12)
[B]Hips: [/B]43.5 in (- 3.5 in, 0.5in change from last measurements, 30 June 12)
[B]Thigh: [/B]26.5 in (- 2.5 in, 0.5in change from last measurements, 30 June 12)
[B]Total weight lost:[/B] 23.6 lbs (- 0.6 lb from last weight in, 30 June 12)
[B]Total measurements reduced: [/B]17 inches (- 1in difference since last measurements, 30 June 12)
Lost 1 inches in the past 15 days and dropped another 0.6 lb. This is great, especially considering all the indulging I did over the past couple weeks. Helping my sister move and eating at their SAD house for quite a few days, then mine and my sisters birthday celebrations (x3). I was actually happy that I hadn't gained. The next few weeks should be much better! I don't have anything planned. I'm aiming to make it out of the 180's for next weigh in. That means just over a 3 lb loss to get me past 180. It's a very optimistic goal, but I think by sticking with TPB and increase an in exercise may help. We shall see.... Only 15 days to go.

Welcome and thanks!! I've overindulged in non-primal foods for the past couple of weeks (reasons in above post), so very little progress. Hopefully there will be big changes at the end of July.

Metric, your results and your meals are truly impressive.
