What is seitan? And tempeh I've not had. I do have tofu and soy products but wonder about the whole estrogen thing? Myth? There's so much conflicting info out there that even for someone like me who is up on a lot of it, leaves me wondering if I know anything at all.

I agree on the idea that we probably eat more protein than we need. My goal is 20% but I've been getting half that sometimes and know that I eat too much

You're probably right. I sometimes think about the people you see who lose a lot of weight and then have so much loose skin that they are traumatized by it. You can't get rid of it without surgery. It's so hard to imagine. I guess we'll see what happens.

Yeah good points. I don't want the potential of excess skin to hamper my goal of losing this weight and getting into shape again. So I'll reassess when and if it happens. Im tall, 6', so maybe it won't be too bad.

Hey hey. Today is day 2 for me. How aboit you?

Wow. Had I known how many women would be here looking for and giving support I would have joined the community eons ago. Thanks so much for all your comments. Now that we have a few people here, how would you like this to go? I created a group if that works or is his discussion thread better? And go...

@daisyfields79 When did you start this time around?

It sounds like you'll be able to do it. Youve done it before! What's your secret?

I'm not saying I like your post cause that sucks. However I do appreciate you taking the time to post your thoughts:)

I've offically got about 30 pounds of baby weight and then another 30 of prebaby. I'm really concerned, that at my age, once I lose the weight there'll be a lot of excess skin to deal with. I think that is worse than being overweight so maybe I have to shoot for 40 pounds or so. Or maybe that is an excuse? I'm curious to…

You go girl! What's your plan?

That's great! It's nice to know we're not alone in this :) This is my first time in the community so still figuring things out. I created a group so you're welcome to join if you like.

I'm teetering on the edge of vegan but right now mostly vegetarian. Does that make sense?
