Do you have an instant pot or pressure cooker? Worth the investment. Google instant pot vegan or plant based meals and hey presto! veganricha.com is an awesome site for recipes!

Thanks for sharing! I am 5'7 and 187lbs right now... I am focusing on 1200 calories a day but it doesn't seem enough when you add in the exercise. I'm not hungry but nothing is moving and I'm wondering if my body is hitting starvation mode. I try to wear my fitbit so I can eat the extra calories earned. I guess I'm just…

Hi there and congratulations! Sounds like you have things figured out well and are on course to succeed! What does your diet look like over a regular day? How talk are you and what is your calorie intake? Hope you don't mind the questions... I'm 48 and about 30lbs overweight.. the extra is taking soo long to leave my body…

I am setup for 1200 calories a day... but then my exercise increases my allowable intake and I always use them up too. Your body can go into starvation mode if you aren't careful. I'm losing slow and steady which I am hoping will be easier to maintain when I reach goal.

Hi everyone! :) I'm here for motivation, to learn and to provide support where I can. My plan: Lose 30lbs by Jan for my 49th birthday and then spend a year maintaining so I can be fit and fabulous for turning 50 by eating clean and regular strength training.

Free weights are my thing too. I don't like going to the gym so have Chalene's Lean Extreme program. Lots of easy modifications for those with back issues (me) and I like her energy. You can use bands or weights, whichever suits. Slow and steady wins the race... I feel like I only have to look at a dessert and my waist…

Slice an apple, sprinkle with cinnamon, dip in plain greek yogurt... can you say 'apple pie'. LOL Well, it works or me! 1% cottage cheese with cucumber slices... its all about simple for me :)

That's tough, but without sabotaging yourself it seems to make the most sense.. increased portions for him and maybe he needs to disappear after dinner and scoff back a dessert... out of sight! :)

I've recently dropped all sugar.. had to drop my morning coffee to accommodate. I have hot water with lemon.. and the only sugars I eat are natural now. I've gotten through the headache stage and having fruit seems to squish the cravings... favourite snack when I need a sugar fix - sliced apple sprinkled with cinnamon with…

You're right it sucks but until more and more people start eating healthier its not going to change much. I eat out less now so there are definitely savings there and I do the meal prep thing every Sunday, reducing my variety but guaranteeing I won't go off track and I'm using up all the food I just bought. 5 Mason Jar…
