Yep. Have you tried to make your "junk" healthy?? That helps me, the "deliciously Ella" cookbook is an example of this kind of tweak. I also choose to focus on being healthy... Conscious and deliberate/ intentional. Still work but I'm in control. Good luck

You can add me

Thanks for your responses and friend invites

I agree... Get in there and have a sense of humour!!! Laugh at how you'll trip over your feet. It gets easier and it stays fun right throughout

Love this, thanks for sharing!!!

Love this, thanks for sharing!!!

In all honesty, we use whichever mint is taking over the garden lol! We bang it up first and it tastes/ smells more :) or whichever organic mint we can find in winter (canadian). I also love apples, cucumber and lime... But my husband doesn't love this combo as much as I do.

Cucumber, beet, kale, celery, lemons (2), and mint :) so fresh!!

Whoa... I'm 5'9" 153lbs right now and have been "healthy" right from the start (8lbs lost but always been size 8). Just losing a bit to fit into a special dress. You sounds healthy at 6" 152lbs. If you don't feel good, do you think maybe you need to regain your health/ activity level/ balanced diet... Whatever it is that…

Chia pudding is great if you want to up your fiber... And you can flavour it many ways. Search chia pudding on Pinterest. Flax seeds added to salads and experiment adding it to recipes. Baked steel cut oats for breakfast with berries (blackberries, raspberries, saskatoons, etc have finer), again search oats breakfast bake…

Quinoa is soooo good cooked in almond milk with a bit or maple syrup and a bunch of cinnamon added in. I also love baked oatmeal. I prep it for the week and take it to work. Oatmeal with dried fruit and pb powder added. Keep playing... Gf gets easier the longer your at it :)

I agree... Cut out ALL gluten and give yourself time to heal, it'll come. I lost a bunch of weight before I knew I have celiac disease. Took time to start gaining... Not I need to lose a few lol (6 years later). On the plus side... You'll feel better and better each day once your fully gf and healed. In the mean time, why…

lol... It's the cinnamon buns that get me!!! Although having celiac disease is a blessing too... We eat real food (or at least I do... Don't want to eat expensive processed junk).

I have celiac disease. I've been making gf bread in the bread machine, 2lb option medium brown/crust. It works great and it's the only gf bread that is good, lol. I slice it, freeze it And eat the left overs as toast as it does not keep well! Oh, and I add flax and sometimes sunflower seeds for some added nutrition. Hope…

People like to make fun of this one, but I love my book club :)

Whoa, you look great!! Well done!!!

You can do it!!!! You've proven that by losing 100lbs, well done. My husband had cancer at 31 (gbm)... And he's healthy 3 years later :) his diet (healthy) is a huge part of staying healthy and strong/ full of energy!!! Do you think of you focus on health and not the # you'll lose?? Your not stuck... Keep at it :) Feel…

I have celiac disease, dx 6 years ago. Feel free to friend me!

Celiac.com is a great reference for checking :)

Forgot to say, I started at 161lbs.

5'9" 158lbs, working towards142 :) 33 years old. Sounds like me :)

I have celiac disease. I went GF 6 years ago when I was diagnosed. I gained weight when I went GF (but have always been in the healthy range just the upper range). But the weight gain was good because I felt stronger and had more energy. Took me about a year and a half to feel really good... But ongoing improvements till…

I have celiac disease too. I'm always so encouraged to see others with celiac disease who are thriving, so healthy and fit... And open to encouraging others!!! Well done

I'm interested

So it doesn't garlic up the fridge... Lol.

I like to use balsalmic vinegar with chopped ginger and garlic in it, and a little bit of oil. The ginger and garlic are potent when it sits for a few days so it doesn't take much dressing to get a lot of flavour!!! (I store it in mason jars so ur doesn't garlic up the fridge)
