If you are looking for protein sources without meat, I suggest tofu, tempeh, lentils, beans, edamame, things like that :)

Just for today I will be stronger than my excuses

Chickpea Noodle soup. 2 cans chickpeas 12 cups veg broth 3 celery stalks, chopped 3 large carrots, cut into thin rounds 1 white or yellow onion, diced 2 tbsp olive oil Small bunch of fresh parsley to taste 1tbsp dried thyme Black pepper to taste Salt to taste (if broth is salt free!) 3 cloves fresh garlic, peeled and diced…

MAY WE SLAY TODAY! I agree with you completely. But all is. It lost, hit it hard and take back control!

Our body weight fluctuates all the time, so give it some time! That being said, if it continues to increase, then you need to reevaluate your logging. Do you use a food scale? Do you log every calorie exactly as it should be? Are you calories burned exercises actually accurate? MFP calories burned for exercises tends to be…

Yes, that is the right step! And write it down! Eating at a deficit doesn't mean being hungry all the time :) maybe in the beginning it's a little more noticeable, but you body will adapt and you will be amazed by how much you can accomplish. I've sent you a friend request so we can do this together!

Hey there! Mom of two over here and always up for some new friends! I started my journey at 240 lbs and am now at 154.4. (Most before I found this app, but almost 20 so far using it). Looking to finally feel good in my skin!

First of all, I want to commend you for taking the first step and reaching out. That's the hardest part done right there. Now, you need to find people who will motivate you, someone to hold you accountable. To me, it sounds like you have an eating disorder, and without professional help I'm afraid you are in for one hell…

I've had two kids, so no matter how much I lose my stomach will always look different, but I'm still going to rock a bikini, loose skin, stretch marks and all. You are BEAUTIFUL, and I'd LOVE to have your body shape! But I do understand how you feel, trust me, with every pound I lose my stomach skin looks worse, so I know…

I started my journey at 240 and am at 154.5 at the moment! Feel free to add me!

Vegan here too! Anyone can feel free to add me for support! :)

Vegan over here :) anyone can feel free to add me! My favorite thing in barbecue tofu sandwiches with pineapple and onion :) nom nom nom. 😋

It can take up to 3 weeks for the effect of dairy to leave your system. I have IBD and have been feeling amazing since I went vegan last year :) as long as I don’t overdue it on the beans! Give it some time :)

I’ll add you :)

SAHM to a 2 year old and an 8 year old! I'm also 5'3" and started my journey at 240 lbs. I'm now 155.lbs and have used this app to lost 18 so far :) (calorie counting before dining this app got me down from 240) anyone can feel free to add me as well.

Hey, feel free to add me. I'm on here daily :)

Agreed. Take action, when motivated, to make a plan. Stick to that plan until it's routine.

I’m from Newfoundland too :)

Friend request sent :)

Giving up sugary drinks! I was never a fan of soda but LOVED me some brisk lemon ice tea and other sugar drinks that were similar. Now it’s just water and tea (regular non sweet tea). Pasta was easy too, I didn’t realize how much better I would feel until I stopped eating it. Now, if I have any at my MIL’s (to act great…

Hello! And welcome a, feel free to add me too if you like :)

All natural peanut butter smothered over a nice big banana is my go to after dinner snack. Sweet, satisfying, and provides some fats to help keep cravings at bay :)

Honestly? I found quitting calorie heavy foods harder than quitting smoking. I've been quit almost a year but I still struggle with my food choices, because honestly it's like an addiction to food for me. I totally get where you are coming from, that little though creeps into your head then BOOM its all you can think about…

Anyone can feel free to add me too :) 28, 5’3”, Starting weight (before MFP) 240 current weight 157.6. I’m on every day :) also a mother of two kiddos and Im plant-based :)

Yes a lot of people love nutritional yeast and it’s cheesiness. Unfortunately, it makes me very sick. I’m not sure why it does, but for some weird reason even a small amount causes very uncomfortable bloating and nausea. :( which sucks since Every “cheesy” recipe I’ve found adds it!

I'm in no place to judge calories. Mine are usually between 700 -1000 too and struggle to eat more. I've leaned to add calorie dense foods to my meals (like hemp seeds, etc) put them in a shake or over too of a meal to help get the calories up :)

Premade vegan cheese is grosse. I suggest looking on Pinterest for homemade vegan cheeses! They are DELICIOUS. My favorite ones are cashew based and are perfect for pizza and grilled cheese sandwiches! Seriously, they taste better than real cheese.

Yeah, just ignore people like that. You know what works for you and trolls like that are nothing but negativity. Good Luck!

I like putting a THIN coating of barbecue sauce over it and baking it in the oven. If it’s thin, it will crisp up nice. Great to make a “burger” with a bit of lettuce, tomato and pineapple on it!
