March/April Weight Management Challenge

[Catrin]

Great job on the fat loss, Catrin! Out of curiosity--and if you don't mind sharing, how many pounds have you lost since changing to a Paleo diet and what percentage of fat loss during that same period?

If my memory serves correctly, I was pretty much on pretty stubborn weight/BF plateau for close to two years before changing to a Paleo diet (after losing 80 pounds before that). I made the switch in August and in the 8 months since then I've lost 10-12 pounds, and 5% body fat. FINALLY I am in the "moderately lean" category (barely) and no longer in the "excess fat" category. I've barely crossed that line but I DID cross it

I lost most of my weight under a very different diet, but I feel so much better eating this way! I am still tweaking things a bit as I continue to learn more about what my body likes, but it has been a good journey. I WOULD like to see my BF% drop down into the next category eventually (Lean), but that would mean losing another 8% BF and I don't know how realistic that is - not having a thryoid OR reproductive system (including no ovaries and I don't take hormones) doesn't help. Right now I want to get it more firmly into my current category and then we shall see. It is harder to do this at 53 than at 35...
