Folks, good discussion tonight. If people are interested, I'm open to having a night where 1 hour is dedicated to beginners FAQ/discussion and the second hour is dedicated to advanced. Both would be open to all who wanted to attend, but I feel like people are on all sorts of levels and would benefit to a more focused discussion. Post to comments if interested.

Also, no matter what your goals/paths are, be sure to weigh yourself and take a picture of yourself in a bathing suit (or less....Tim). Even if you don't technically lose weight, you don't know how much muscle you gain or fat you lose. Chances are you will lean out, but who knows what that means for your weight vs. what you LOOK like.

That sounds good Chris! I would definitely be interested.

Chris,

Do we have a scale at the box? I refus to have one in my house, so I need to weigh my self. Also, what about body comp? Should we have that done for the challenge? I would be interested in a discussion as well and a recipe exchange!

Miranda, there is a scale at the box you can use. I wouldn't worry about body fat % since many methods are unreliable. Instead, I like the idea of taking a picture because it's hard to notice changes day to day...instead, after a month any body comp changes will be more obvious

Chris - I would definitely be interested in a beginner's session. I'm not fully participating in the challenge this time, but am going to try to at least eat "cleaner". I hope to learn alot more by following you guys on the blog this month.

A pictures worth a thousand words but a good old tape measure may be another good way to assess your progress. You can try to measure areas such as your waist, thighs, around your ass, arm, etc...

I too would love some recipes!

Found a few more recipie venues for you guys from the Zaleo site so they are zoned paleo recipies - best of both worlds!

My goals are simply no dairy, no processed sugars, no grains. I even had black coffee today, yuck, but actually not as bad as I thought it would be. So far so good, and I'm writing everything down. I am going to make my bathing suit photo my facebook profile picture -- KIDDING. I would lose all my friends.
