I feel for you! It'll come off. I was crushed when I went back into 150s. It took so dang long to get out of 160s I got scared.

It'll come off!

I don't know anything about Paleo, but I bought grass fed lean ground beef from our Farmer's Market for $4.50/lb, which was about the same as from the grocery store, at least for 93/7.

It took so long to get out of the 160s for sure and then the 150s are lingering big time. I wish I could say my cheats were worth the gain but they were not as they were only really small things. I must be very sensitive to gaining from alcohol. I had a couple Jagers and gained 4 pounds. The candy was only a pound and definately not as tasty as the other...LOL!

I love juicing, it makes me feel great. but it is so hard to keep to when cooked food smells so good!!!!

Juicing made me feel terrible! I couldn't stick with it, could barely function and with 4 kids that just doesn't work very well LOL. I know it was just the detox stage and if I could've gotten past that it would've gotten better, but I just couldn't get past that stage. Instead right now I'm having my spinach smoothie for breakfast (spinach, banana, greek yogurt, water and peanut butter), then I make a carrot juice recipe for lunch and trying to stick with a light supper (which is the toughest meal of the day for me since I have to make a decent supper for dh and the kids). Right now I'm holding steady at 170.8, have been all week. Guess I'm going to have to kick it up a notch!! I've been working out though so hopefully it's just my muscles holding onto water and pounds will start coming off soon.

So true! DH came home for lunch and I made him a BLT...smelling bacon and drinking my juice was not fun lol.

The most I've done is juice all day then eat dinner with DH...I don't think I could cook a good meal and not eat. I figure even if I don't do a full-on juice fast, the extra fruit and veg is still good for me.

That's the mindset I'm going with too Katie, juicing for one or two meals a day is better than none! I just need to learn to keep the hunger under control and not pig out at supper! Then I bet the pounds will fall right off LOL.
