Whole30, round 3 wrap up

My 3rd round of Whole30 challenge is over.  We had a wrap up party at Leeny's house as usual and she went through all the numbers from the group:

Total people who took before measurements:  33
Total people who took afters:  25  (76% of you came back for afters!)

Total lbs lost as a group:  220.4
Avg. lbs lost: 8.8
inches lost:  114 3/8
avg inches  4.6

I did pretty well on this go-around.  Not as hard-core as the first time, but much better than the second time (not out of town as much).  This time, I tried to not be as drastic, but to stick to a regimen that I thought I could sustain after the challenge was over.  I lost 3 1/2 lbs and over 2 inches in my waist (over 5 inches total in measurements).  I achieved what I wanted to.  I didn't want to lose any more weight (not sure it's even possible at this point), but did want to continue to lose fat.  I'm most happy with losing more of my belly fat.

I pulled out the pictures from the previous challenge.  The difference between where I was last year (top left) and now (bottom) is amazing.  This paleo diet really works!!!!
Leeny also wrote a blog post about the latest challenge and included a bunch of pictures.  Take a look, it will inspire you......
