When I fist started paleo I could only find one forum and a bit of scattered info about the diet.  Now it seems there's a new paleo blog/forum opening every week.

It's definitely becoming more popular

My wife and I started eating paleo at the end of 2005.

I did it for overall health reasons (I wasn't very fat or anything).
I lost the belly that I did have and now I'm focused on building some muscle, which seems to be going well.
I no longer have join pain (I used to have a horrible knee) * caused by nightshades
I am sleeping much better (I had something like delayed sleep-phase syndrome)

My wife has lost about 15kg and she is very close to her ideal weight.
She had:
Bad asthma (daily Ventolin use and hospital once a year) - now almost completely gone (she uses her inhaler maybe once every 3 months) *caused by dairy
Frequent migraines - now completely gone * caused by grains
Constant yeast infections - now completely gone * caused by sugar
Reoccurring tonsillitis (she can't get her tonsils out being an asthmatic) - non since being paleo

Thanks for the specifics.  I want to look more into the nightshades issue...Do you have any links to recommend on that topic?  

Edited to add: I just found this: http://cavemanforum.com/index.php?action=printpage;topic=1028.0  Tarlach--you responded  to this ? w/ links as well--I'm going to check them out!

Hm, looks like either paleo is picking up, or this site is.

Another contributing effect is that some people who come to the forum either:

a) Stop posting after a while, even if they keep eating paleo.
b) Give up on paleo for one reason or another.

I'm sure if you browse older threads you'll find a lot of people who simply stopped posting after a while.

Added myself in. 

June 05, 2009

Started cold turkey, the plan was keep it 100% paleo for the first month or so to see how I felt, then at the end of the month decided to keep going as close to Paleo as possible because of how good I felt and looked.

Do you all think this thread deserves to be stickied? With the list in the first post?

If the list is added to the first post, yeah, I think it is a good idea.

Started December 10th, 2009
Weighed 196
As of today, 165 with a goal of 159, which is my best estimate, things could change.

I have to get new clothes....

This is going to sound weird but I can't remember what started me on Paleo but I actively looked for a forum and was lucky enough to find you guys.

I have been strict only giving in this weekend and having about a half dozen diet cokes at a party.

God I felt horrible. I'm sure the caffeine must narrow your arteries. It certainly didnt make me stay awake. I was off to bed at 11.10. and the next morning, my lower leg fluid retention was up, I had a headache and a horrible dry mouth which has stayed with me all weekend.

I love this way of eating, it really suits the things I like to eat. A plate of steak, eggs and mushrooms is heaven to me!

I am a weeny bit discouraged that the weight has plateaued.  I have started exercising a bit. And I am hopeful that my weight will go down. Body fat measuring scales should arrive tomorrow

Oh and my blood pressure normalised after a month of paleo eating.
