I hit 100 lbs this morning!!!! Ahhhh I am so happy. I have been waiting to hit the 3 digit mark now for a while since I started SCD/paleo in August 2012. I was only 84 lbs at the time and I've really been trying my best with eating 2500-3000 (sometimes more) calories a day and doing only strength training- no cardio except for walking a few times a week. It's crazy the amount of food I have to take in but I'm hoping once my body is at a comfortable weight that I can eat a normal amount again (maybe 1800-2000 calories a day).

And to tie this in with mother's day, I owe it to my mother for providing me with all this great food and support and never letting me go hungry!!!

That's awesome. I started out at 198 lbs. By the time I seen a GI and was diagnosed with UC I weigh 122 lbs. It's as hard trying to gain as it is to lose weight.

Joanna,

That's great!

When you were a vegetarian, did you ever think you'd one day be on the Paleo diet and be eating lots of great and healthy animal products?

I bet not! Lol

Thanks guys. My mom embarassed me by making me announce it to the whole family at our mothers day party haha. Insofla, i remember last year my gi doc asked me if i would consider eating meat again and i told him "hell no." He does the paleo diet too for his crohns disease so im so happy i tried it.

Congrats on hitting a hundred.. lol

Your GI has Crohns??? And follows Paleo??????????


This would be a first! A GI that not only has the darn disease, but uses diet to try and help!

Or did I misread that?

I'm glad you're doing better. Are you in remission?

Congrats Joanna, I wish you the best of luck and health!

thanks my friends! i'm still not in remission but i hope i will get there eventually while i'm still alive.

my main symptom is bleeding. that darn c diff just doesn't wanna let up i guess. i don't know what to do for it so i'm basically waiting until my doctor gets tired of me asking about fecal transplant and maybe he will agree after my 100th request. my town is just years behind in medical treatments it seems.

Banana girl.. Try alkalizing your body. C diff can't survive in an alkaline body.

pathogen, like drinking baking soda? when i worked at a naturopath's office, that is always what the doc told her "acidic" patients to do. i know where i can buy ph strips- just never thought to do that.
