Well, when i first started paleo, I had hopes of it helping with my Graves Disease. I was also hoping to drop a few lbs. My hubby took a picture of me before starting, and he took another one last night. I have before and during pics of my paleo adventure. If anyone would like to view them, just e-mail me. Not that they are great to look at .. hahaha but you can see a visible difference after just 3 months. I have only lost 15 pounds, but 22 inches all over. You can see a difference in my skin, and most importantly, the size of my goiter that protrudes from my neck caused my Graves. Also, another bit of good news........... I entered my umm Paleo snacks, *not going to call them cookies lol* in a local cooking contest........ I won 3rd place and received $100 to spend down town on anything I want. I made both baked and the non-baked versions. Both were a hit. Thanks Ray for writing NeanderThin. It is saving my life day by day. Trish
