It doesn't seem like it, yet I have been showing you the side by side photos for 11 months now. Today is the first year anniversary of starting Whole30, with the results shown above.
Today's weigh-in didn't go as expected, but I know the problem. I got into a couple high sodium foods, bacon and hot dogs. They are now permanently off my menu as the sodium added to my weight with water retention. I will be flushing my system for the next several days and doing a new weigh-in next week once my system is flushed of all unnecessary sodium.
I did do a weigh-in for my birthday last month, and that showed a decrease of 3 pounds, giving me a total of 32 pounds for the year.
The above picture is the result of one year's progress.
How has your day gone? Thanks for reading.

@just4him I had to correct my many typos. Lol! I haven't been on FB for days and days, but will check next time I'm on. I'm still proud of you!!!! Yes, thanks, we had a very nice date night - as usual, except I was a bit teary-eyed that the kids are no longer here.

I don't know why I wanted to eat hot dogs. I never really liked them. These were 100% beef, and I did look for the one with the least amount of sodium, but well, no more hot dogs or bacon. I've tried turkey, and the bacon I get is uncured.
Thanks. I feel like I've come a long way with it.

At least you are doing it the smart way @just4him it's much healthier to lose slowly over time rather than trying to lose 10 pounds in a month, the skin won't retract fast so if you lose too fast it just hangs unless you have money to have the excess removed.

Congratulations, 32 pounds is a really commendable amount of weight to have lost. I am sure that the swimming you are doing also helps.

You should be very proud of yourself. That's quite an accomplishment and 32 lbs is a considerable amount of weight to lose in one year.
Keep up the good work!

@just4him Learning to eat more protein and less carbs isn't hard, it's a healthy, balanced diet!

Bacon and hot dogs? Those are not good if you want to lose weight and they do contain some sodium. Indeed, water retention is a big problem. You should eat lots of kiwis, this fruit helps a lot when you want to flush some of the water in your body. I know that from my wife, she used a diet for water retention and kiwis were a must 
.
Congrats for the weight loss and I wish you success! You can do even better

@just4him yeah, I remembered this when I was reading your post. At least that's what her nutritionist said 
. And is good you love kiwis, you should try this. Of course, be careful with the sodium, it's really bad for your health if you go over 3 grams/day. Even at 2 there are some issues, but manageable.

Yes, it is a way of life. I won't be going back to the old way of eating, though I am planning on a change-up. Paleo is very close to Whole30. The difference being NO potatoes. That will be difficult. The addition would be Stevia and honey. I can have natural not refined sugar on that one. So, I'm going to combine the two, and see if I can get better results. We'll see if I buckle on no potatoes.

Thank you. It's not a hard plan to work with. I'm hoping for as good as results next year.
