Whole 30 for June page 26

Sorry, I had posted that before I read your response. You're obviously making a conscious and informed decision to weigh yourself, which is totally fine. Was just concerned for people who may have started a whole 30 perhaps not knowing exactly what it is and what the guidelines are. Cause if you're not following the whole 30 rules, then it's not a whole 30, it's just your own personal version of paleo, which is fine, but different!

I am a stickler for rules, though, probably borderline OCD about them...

As long as everyone doing the program keeps in mind the bigger picture -- that is, eating as close to Whole 30 as possible, for an entire host of reasons -- then daily/weekly weighing isn't a big deal, in my opinion. Some are more encouraged when they see a loss from Day 1 to Day 30, others are more encouraged when they see daily numbers. Whatever works -- as long as it works.

well, technically, this is just strict 100% paleo/primal... the scale thing is just an extra rule they created. As long as I'm eating the way I'm supposed to, I don't see the harm.

I understand not weighing for people NEW to Paleo/Primal. Feeling the changes that take place is very important for motivation to keep going, especially since there's no guarantee that you'll lose any weight in the beginning (I have a friend who's on her 3rd week being primal and she's gained 4 lbs - she's very frustrated). Anyhow, I see the point, but don't think the point benefits me - most likely this is the case for the other weighing girls too.

BUT THE RULES, JACKIEKESSLER, WHAT ABOUT THE RULES?????

Kidding...

As long as you don't weigh yourself with a loaf of bread in one hand and a vat of margarine in the other.

In my secret heart, I'm an anarchist.

I know the rules...before whole30 I weighed myself every single day I was obsessed!!!..I wanted to stop this habit and knew that I wouldn't be able to go the entire 30 days without weighing myself so I decided I would do a weekly weigh in...100% other wise so I'm an happy gal...

jenn26: try something called "chestal" which is an all-natural cough medicine. its made by Boiron, I think. its Homeopathic, but it does work.

Day 8 didn't go as well as planned. Had 1 1/2 slices of canadian bacon for breakfest, skipped lunch then was hungry to the point of nausea when I went out for grocerys at 2, ended up eating a gluten free coffe cake not a good decision. Son knocked his plate on the floor by accindent at dinner, got annoyed and ended up throwing my dinner away so only ate a couple bites of steat (pan cooked and wasn't that good anyway) and about 5 green beans. just a frusterating day. will do better tomorrow.
