BMI is 21.9 Height 5ft 5” Weight 132 I wear a size 6 most of the time. Brands seem to vary wildly though.

Truth: I’ve tried the gym thing, with an open mind and much effort. It’s just not my thing. I do enjoy yoga though. It seems a better fit. I do have hand weights though and a really great treadmill.... I guess I was just wondering how long it would take to actually see and feel a difference in my body?

......exercise Any kind of exercise Man I wish I enjoyed some form of exercise...but I just don't

I'm in Canada and we can get it here....although not in a regular grocery store. You have to go to an Asian specialty store. My brother loves the stuff..... I won't let him bring it in my house, it stinks up the whole place.

Squeeze in exercise when you can. Does the hotel have a pool or fitness room? Engage in early morning walks. I'd eat the food....enjoy. I wouldn't drink extra calories. I'd opt for fruit deserts instead of high calorie cakes/sweets. I'd swap out potatoes and rice for salads and extra veg. Have a wonderful time.

Those little triangles of laughing cow cheese :)

I have Hashimotos. I was diagnosed last year. (100mcg Levo) I have not put on any weight as a result of my medication, and I'm down 8lbs since logging and maintaining a calorie deficit 3 weeks ago. Uncontrolled thyroid issues make weight loss difficult. Controlled/managed thyroid issues make weight loss possible.

See, that's just it. Generally speaking, vegan is not a subjective term. Most people would agree on what it means to be vegan. Not so with 'clean' eating. Ask 100 people....get 100 different answers.
