  • I'm in. 38, 5'8", Kentucky. Don't know current weight exactly because I don't want to, but I'll hop on Friday to start w/Friday weigh ins. Diagnosed with Crohn's in November 2015 and have gained 125 pounds since... even with having had a breast reduction in February 2022! It's been one health issue after another for the…
  • Getting back to my March 2020 (pre-lockdown) weight. Just 7 pounds away! (Have lost 14.6 so far.)
  • Running outside. Treadmill is SO boring.
  • Amazing grass meal shakes are great. They make some without soy proteins. Potato bread with peanut butter.

My roomie is vegan -- tons of beans and…

  • Milk, cheese, bacon, etc. Easy to drink and eat and full of good calories. I don't recommend 400 calories of cheese or bacon, but a glass of milk and an ounce of cheese as snacks somewhere in your day should be pretty easy to work in. If you like nuts, a handful of nuts have lots of calories and lots of good stuff in.
