Upper Peninsula of Michigan! :)

Looking for active users who are up for some mutual motivation! :)

Always looking for active friends with open diaries (especially interested in vegetarians)!

Grew up near GR, currently live in the UP! :) :)

Always looking for active friends with open food diaries. ☺☺

I think boredom has definitely been creeping up, so excellent idea! I don't really care for any of the grocery store meat substitutes (and I'm really not looking to eat super processed foods anyway), so my diet is full of beans and nuts and veggies...it gets old. I love, love, love to cook, so recipes are always welcome!

Looking to friend some people who want ro motivate or be motivated. :) Veggies with open diaries are a plus!

Actively looking for veggies with open diaries! But would also love to friend people who motivate and are looking for motivation. :) :)

Packers fan in Michigan! Yay for us today!

Mushroom and black bean quesadilla

I made a mushroom and black bean quesadilla for dinner tonight. Super simple -- sauteed mushrooms and green onions, mixed them together with black beans (canned for convenience) and diced tomatoes (I chose fresh), put on a tortilla with pepper jack cheese, and then cooked on a skillet. I topped mine with a dallop of sour…

I've recently stopped eating meat, and I can't tell you how many times someone "suggests" I eat a steak. Oh, ha ha.

What is currently working for me is changing one part of my lifestyle at a time. Make whatever it is you are doing a habit. Right now, I'm trying to just focus on my eating. I've been slowly incorporating more exercise, but drastic changes always push me away. I also think it's important not to deprive yourself. I still…

My lips are always dry as well, and I drink loads of water. I am trying to find the right way to moisturize them, but nothing has really worked for me.

^^ Also curious about the protein powder!

I'm so sorry for your loss! But I think you made a great decision to come back. Best of luck on your journey!

Keep at it, and good luck to you :)

I've learned tons of neat things by scrolling through the forums!

Looks like you've done great so far!

Welcome, and good luck!

I have some granola with dark chocolate bits in it :)

I like scrambled eggs with green peppers, asparagus, mushrooms and cheese. Apples dipped in crunchy peanut butter. Smoothies (my favorite uses Greek yogurt, honey, spinach, strawberries, and a banana). I also love Greek yogurt with honey, chia seeds, and chopped up fruit.

Eat whatever fuels you!

I'm finding myself using mushrooms a lot! I'm going to start experimenting with beans and lentils as well :)

Every time I do something I'm proud of or overcome an obstacle (i.e. beat a binge, get in all my workouts, etc...), I throw some money in my "me" jar

You definitely can! I was lactose intolerant until I was about 3, then I was good for most of my life. About 5 years ago, it started to bother me again. It's mostly drinking milk that causes the issue for me (easy fix, stopped drinking dairy milk). Once in awhile, yogurt or cheese will cause some unwanted side effects, but…

I don't since it's part of my normal daily activities.

I'm in the same boat! Feel free to add me

I'm new to the vegetarian game, but I've learned that beans, nuts and dairy will play a huge part! Soy products seem to have a lot of protein as well (if you plan on eating them).

In the same boat! Do you mind if I add you?
