Congratulations on Gill starting a nutrition log.

Thanks for that Dan, I will start logging immediately tomorrow, do it all at the end of the day, so I can pump it all in at once!

[GillianS25]

Current weight - 122.4kg
Goal Weight - 60-65kg

I know that I can do this, I've done it before via Weight Watchers and got down to 86kg. I'm going to try and follow Paleo as best I can, if not then I will go back to what I know which does work really well for me, is Weight Watchers. Now I just have dig in, stay motivated and driven to achieve my ultimate goal. I'm going to try and break it down into 5kg mini goals

Good on you for taking the hint.

Weight watchers is shit quality food. Its not just about your weight, its about your health and wellbeing and thats why we prescribe paleo. Eating portions of rice and a bread roll is doing you more harm than good - its not about counting calories.

Stop allowing the negativity to get in your head. WW is not a long term strategy for health and wellness. None of us really care what you weigh, we care about your health and your Fran time. You will do this and do it easier than you think. Draw a line and just do it.

Thanks Dan, I'm going to give it a go, I'm actually looking for some paleo recipes on the net, and found some that seem to be really good, like Mediterrian Chicken, and White Fish with Macademia, so I'm looking foward to trying some of them out. The only thing I'm a bit worried is lunch, cause I usually have a sandwhich and hence the carbs - shouldn't have that know, is it basically salad is the option for lunch?

[Dan]

Its not about "the carbs". You need carbs.
You just dont need ridiculous amounts of them and you dont want them from sources that mess with your health.
