Pooping
Since I started eating better, I only poop about once every 2 or 3 days...Before, I pooped several times a day...Do you guys weigh yourselves on days you don't poop, and if you do, do you only count the days that you pooped (assuming that this number is your REAL weight loss?)? Basically, have you noticed any changes with…

But since I've recently started getting very serious about my weight loss, I have pretty much cut out all alcoholic drinks.

Protein is the New Black
I'm reading New Rules of Lifting for Women and I loved reading: 'Protein is to diets what black is to fashion - it makes us thinner. I agree and eat 30% protein (40/30/30 is recommended by the book). If more protein is beneficial to weight loss and muscle gain, why are so many people eating the low low 15%? Maybe you're…

Tesco value grapes!
Just thought I'd share with you my little discovery today (how boring is this lol!) If you, like us, spend loads of money on fruit and are from UK and shop in Tesco you never know, it might be helpful!

Healthy Pizza did I hear you say???
So, I was craving pizza the other day and well I knew I had to be a good girl and not give in to my temptations!

How to measure spaghetti squash?
Im cooking spaghetti squash for the first time tonight, and I've cut it into halves. Obviously you don't eat the skin, and scrape it out after baking, but how do you weigh it? I don't want to put the scrapings on the scale do I? (I guess I could) Right now a half (uncooked) is 1100 grams, which is an insane amount! Plus,…

No Fat Diet
Hi everyone. I've had gallbladder issues for the last few years, but they've gotten a lot worse recently. It doesn't seem to matter when I eat it, or what kind of fats I eat (I'm vegan, so they're always the "good fats") I end up in a lot of pain for hours. It usually means I miss out on a night's sleep and I have to take…

Vegan lifestyle and Awareness about what we're eating!
One thing I know about losing weight is that it's really tough to keep it off and there is only one sure-fire way to do that and that is to change your lifestyle completely. It's been a challenge to change the way I think about food, but over the past year (I started October 2011) it has become easier and easier. I can now…

Meal Planning Help
So, my husband's a chef. Unfortunately, since he spends all day cooking at a restaurant, when he gets home he does not often feel like cooking for me, too. I don't/can't cook. Traumatizing occurrence in 8th grade Home Ec has left my "cooking real food" confidence shattered. I can bake really well, but I don't think that…

Oil substitute
Ok went to a church thing the other night and learned something COOL!! I might be slow at learning something, so if you know this sorry I am excited but I am just learning it.
