A neutron walks into a bar, orders a drink, and tosses it back. He turns to the bartender and asks, "What do I owe you?" The bartender says, "For you? No charge."

I've been a whole-foods vegan for about 5 years, and a vegetarian for many years prior to that. I have a very large fibroid, that has grown substantially in the past year. I believe in the way I eat, unfortunately, being plant-based doesn't seem to be saving me from fibroids. :-(

Joining late, but trying for 60 minutes. Today 2 minutes, total for month 2 minutes

I have an appt for Friday and will ask the doc to check things out. Thank you all for the advice -

BTW collectingblues - you had a great idea to measure somewhere other than my tummy. I looked back at my start measurements for P90X (they have you measure EVERYTHING!), and while it's true that around my tummy hasn't shrunk at all, my chest and thighs have. So evidently I am changing some fat to muscle, just not the fat I…

Yes, those are AWESOME pics. And again, great advice. Thanks!

Thought these might help.

Food diary is open if you care to look. Note that it is refusing to show my exercise calories on Friday and Saturday, but the exercise shows on the activity page. Also, this was "recovery week" in P90X, so I did more yoga and less cardio than in past weeks (and I totally disagree that deathcamp yoga with Tony Horton isn't…

Not worried at all about bulking up, and would be very pleased with more muscle. I will take all advice: will increase calories, do more weight lifting and less cardio, chill, and get a medical workup. I started on protein shakes today, which are AMAZINGLY high in calories, but that and eating a bunch of seitan got my…

I looked it up, and skinny-fat means that I would have a low amount of muscle, and a poor diet. I've biked 5-10 miles a day for years, and about six months ago added an hour of interval training three times week to gear up for P90X. I'm a whole foods vegan and I don't eat sugar or junk. If I'm skinny fat, I got that way on…

I uploaded two photos - maybe that will help? I swear I'm not one of those people who is skinny as a stick and complains about their weight. Yes, I've wondered if I should be eating more, but I'm not hungry, so that seems odd. I'll try it anyway, based on your comments. I started adding a protein shake today. P90X is high…

Thanks for the input from all. Yes, I'm in the right band for my height, but my belly is frustrating me. I have a 36.5" waistline, and in photos, you can see a large muffin-top. I was shooting for 135-138. When I get there, I feel good, and my clothes fit without the muffin-top. Never thought to measure areas other than my…

I've been doing P90X for a month. Thanks for the idea Rage_Phish, but I think I'm maxing out at an hour and a half to two hours of extremely vigorous exercise a day. The mind is willing, but the body is already exhausted.

I've been vegetarian since about 2005, and vegan about three years. When I went vegetarian I lost about 10 pounds instantly, without trying. Unfortunately, going vegan didn't do the same thing, or I wouldn't be on here, trying to lose those LAST 10 POUNDS. I also eat whole foods as much as possible, and drink a green…

A vegan diet is not only "healthy enough", it is the healthiest way you can eat, whether you are a teen, or any other age. Glad your discomfort has gone away. Make sure you supplement your diet with B12 (not naturally available in plant foods). I just take a B-complex two or three times a week. I've been a vegetarian for…
