I made the switch to a whole food plant base lifestyle a month ago, I jumped right in. After educating myself some more I now call myself a vegan. Yes I have a leather couch I got years ago and my winter boots I have that are two years old have leather and I don't plan on getting rid of my couch (unless someone wants to…

Hello and welcome. I have lost nearly 70 lbs in almost a year. All I did was change how I look at food and eat it, I mostly walk for exercise, I get between 15k to 25k in a day. I weigh all my food, food scale is very important. Sounds like you are very committed. Keep pushing forward :)

Great job, looking fantastic.

So this!

fantastic, doesn't even look like the same person.

sending a request :)

Thank you everyone, I feel so much better and I am much much happier.

Go for a walk and don't bring any money with you, exercise or clean something. I turn into a cleaning freak when I am upset.

Hello there, I made the switch to a whole food, plant base lifestyle a month ago, did it overnight, one day i was eating meat, milk, eggs and cheese and the next nothing. My only regret was not doing it sooner. Feel free to add me as a friend. My dairy is open and I post recipes sometimes.

Veganism is not a diet, it's a life style. It means you will not eat, use or consume any animal products in any way. Just because you may live a vegan lifestyle does not mean you are any healthier than someone who does not live a vegan lifestyle. There are many diet options for vegans, just as there are for non vegans, if…

You can be a meat eater, vegan or vegetarian and still have bad health. I believe it's all about having a healthy balance when it comes to your food, the less processed the better or at least that is how I look at it. If you are counting carbs, make sure you are also tracking your fiber, you subtract your fiber from your…

I will make a large raw veggie platter with all different veggies and one platter of fruit. I put that on the table and the kids can take what they want. The rule is you put it on your plate you eat it. When I make a sauce dish, I will blend up kale, broccoli and spinach and add it to the sauce, the kids can't tell cause…

oatmeal, with tons of fruit on top, banana/fruit smoothies, keep some nuts in your pocket so you can much and not get caught. Avocado on toast with a piece of fruit or some oatmeal

Dinner was so amazing, Butter chicken (vegan style) with cilantro brown rice.

Mine: black bean sweet potato wrap with veggies and hummus, His: falafel wrap with veggies and tahini. We shared some bbq tofu, so good.

I eat plenty of fruit in the morning, or a bowl of oats with plenty of fruit. Than I do not crave chocolate, refined sugars or caffeine. I just fill up on whole natural foods. Or you can just count them into your daily intake. It's up to you, if you want to learn how to cut them out, or fit them in.

I just watched the vegan zombies, they had some really great looking recipes

So whole natural foods are bad and dead flesh is good? I found this and it sounds like they are trying to find a new drug to help people with high cholesterol purge it out. If this article is for real? I will keep looking for this sugar causes cholesterol info. But I really don't think I will find it.…

I did lower carb for a while and yes lost weight, but than my weight lose stalled and I ended up gaining 10 lbs back. I switched up my food and now eat a high carb, low fat diet and keep my calories were they should be and in a few weeks I lost what I put back on and have been losing weight every week since. You don't need…

not healthy at all what you are doing. what are you trying to do, lose weight, gain, build muscle? maybe try to switch up what you eating, include more whole foods, grain/plant base, see if that helps.

This is for the whole day? Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Not a lot of food there and nothing really healthy for you, yes you can eat what ever you want, just stay in your deficit to lose weight. But this in no way is teaching you good eating habits. I suggest you educate yourself, so you can be the healthiest you…

Update: Feb 9 2015 CW 228. Down 2 lbs.

Someone sent this to me, maybe it will help? Recipes I believe http://bimba.info/en/new/2016/02/04/23-vegan-meals-with-tons-of-protein

slower cooker oats, they are hot and ready for you by morning.

I lost my first 50 lbs doing workout videos on youtube. I really enjoyed The beachbody mom, she has great low impact workouts. I was not able to do high impact. So your brother is very wrong.

I have lost close to 70 lbs in less than a year and I am not dieting. I have changed my lifestyle and educated myself on health, fitness and food. It's pretty simple and you don't need to pay someone else $$$ to lose weight. It's something you can do all by yourself.

lol love Oreo's and they are vegan which is awesome. every so often after dinner the five of us sit at the table and have a Oreo licking contest. So much fun the kids have a blast. We only buy Oreo's maybe once every other month. So it's a real treat when we have them. Yes they are not good for you but sometimes you just…

Taking about it and doing it are two different things. When she started talking about it, was is on her own or did you bring up the topic? It sounds like she needs to work on her self esteem before she works on whats on the outside. You said she was large when you married her, so NO it's not fair at all to try to make her…
