I've done it before..... And it's so incredibly hard, but it's the only way I was able to reach my goal weight.

I have 25 pounds so go..... I am gonna need some weight loss buddies

I'm not great as a weightloss buddy because I suck at updates and I am very sporadic at best with getting on, but I have just started a gluten free diet/ lifestyle about 4 weeks ago. Sadly, I think it is the dairy that is causing more of the issues but I hate to say that because I love all things dairy. I have lost 4lbs so far being gluten free though so it may be worth trying for me to give up the dairy also. Mostly I just want the GI symptoms to decrease. I didn't feel like I could go cold turkey off both though so I am trying to slowly decrease my dairy intake. I need to lose about 50# total so I have a long way to go. If I can get 25 off I will be happy.

I am toying with the idea of eliminating dairy as well,
and I too consume lots of dairy,
so in that regard I can partner up with you!

I'm already dairy free but would love to go gluten free!! I'm in!

I'm dairy free and wheat free right now, trying to see if it will help DS's tummy. I'm not too sure the difference in wheat-free and GF. I mean, I know the difference, but I'm not sure about labels that say GF....are they wheat-free necessarily?
I'm afraid that I am so tired and stressed with DS that I am struggling with eating well. So even with these restrictions (which are a huge change for me, I love dairy and bread!) I don't think I have lost any weight!

Anything that is GF is wheat free, but not necessarily the other way around since gluten is also in rye and barley. Oats are also very commonly contaminated.

AFM, I have lost a total of 9lbs since May 1st. I think 4 of that was just this month. I have been GF for about 5 or 6 weeks now and overall I would say I am feeling much better. Now I need to kick the HUGE amounts of sugar I am intaking (Think two cans of soda and 1/4c or more Hot Tamales) I know that will help the weight loss but I am a sucker for a sweet snack when it is hot. Strangely the fruit we bought seems sickeningly sweet though.

I am on my second week of gluten free to see if it is the cause of some of my symptoms. I am not finding it hard even with eating out.

I'm supposed to go gf because they think I have celiacs(my brother does), I'm not so sure about dairy but am planning to try to do a cleanse to get started so that would be both. So I guess I'm in

Our whole family is GF right now (as well as no/low sugar - only berries & apples basically, no yeast, low carbs...). If you have any recipes, love to hear them! And happy to share any of mine as well.

I am jumping on the bandwagon, too. I'm doing it with the encouragement of a friend who is a trainer. My husband is not on board at all! So, i am going to try to find ways to cook around it without fakeouts. Think quinoa pasta.
I will do my best to remember to update with progress.I'm not always too good at it. My goal is to lose 25 pounds in the next 10 weeks.
