I know! It is so easy to take for granted sometimes. I got used to being normal within the first month of going primal and now I'm sensitive to even the slightest change; like a night with too little...

I think Leptin problems are widespread, epidemic! The hiding away to eat for me not only meant that no one would know I was eating (because I knew I shouldn't, but Leptin resistance was in control)...

Back in the old days, a pound of fudge or a birthday cake was my drug of choice, after a large Papa Gino's pizza that is :( I don't miss those days! Leptin resistance is basically hell on earth. The...

Thyroid testing is very important - get a good recommendation for someone in your area who treats patients instead of going by lab values. You can tell it's not the right doctor if they think a TSH...

I too nursed, four years each girl - the first year I lost the weight, my boobs were incredibly flat like pancakes - it was really horrible. The skin would wrinkle like a brain, just a complete and...

I am Yoga teacher in training, I will be all done in two months. And yes, I did mean boobs - I lost all the volume and skin tone, when I started out I wore a 46H and now I wear a 34D so you can...

It would be between 7 and 8 exactly with a really good surgeon, it's the sort of thing that would be nice to have, but I can live without for sure. Plus, I probably won't be willing to forgo exersize...

It would probably me cheaper to get it here than for me to travel lol. I'm going to give it another year and see how much it improves, or not then decide what to do. I PMd you a very silly picture so...

Great job! Making that comittment to walking every day is the biggest step, no pun intended! :) about the skin, well I am of two minds about it. On the one hand, my immediate answer is "UGH yes,...

Actually, most hypothyroid is autoimmune; that is why iodine is no longer recommended for hypothyroid - in the past, it was an iodine deficiency but now iodine deficiency is rare and iodine may...

Oh me too, the BAB is my saving grace, that and early-ish dinner and no snacking. If I even have one snack I could potentially eat all night. SOmehow, letting my body digest everything for 6+ hours...

Thanks MamaG! How are you doing? I'm on a leptin reset too, sort of "always" on the leptin protocol.

thanks canuck416; I hope others who have a lot of weight to lose feel inspired - when I started out, I absolutely scoured the internet looking for stories of women (ideally over 35) who had lost 100...

I just realized I haven't updated in a long time. I think this is because primal/paleo has become SO ingrained as part of my life, that I hardly think about it. Both of my kids are now on a modified...

thanks! I lost the first 90 pounds in the first 8 months (!) then the next 25 or so in the following year

OH you can't see them? they show up for me; I will edit it so they load from a remote host like flickr

OK sorry I hope they show up now :o

It didn't take that long; I started two years ago lol. I'm so close to goal...

I was "morbidly obese" according to the BMI thing, 242 pounds at my fattest; Ive lost 114 pounds, nearly to goal weight. I was a size 22, now I wear a size zero jeans, dress size 4.

On the loose...

The other day my husband complimented me on my "Iggy Pop arms" - I mean, I take that as a compliment! Three days of strength training in a row this week; schedule is all messed up but I'm goin to see...

I am getting a personal trainer cert in about two months, and I am seriously considering doing NTP training in Hartford this fall. If I can find a way to pay for it, I think it would be ideal for me....

Thanks chatty!!

I am 100% paleo, the only dairy I can tolerate is clarified butter/ghee which I use a little here and there. I have a raging caffeine habit lol black coffee until 2pm then decaf sometimes at night. A...

I am following the Lr protocol for about 8 days now. I excersize every day by walking at least 6 miles. On mon-wed-fri I do a pretty vigorous strength training workout at the gym. I also do yoga :)

When I graduated high school I was about 115 pounds yet I wore a significantly bigger size then - I'm sure my body composition is completely different now than it was then; in pictures of me then I...
