I want to thank you all for your inspiration; I am leaving this app to return to Sparkpeople. For me, it is simply easier to navigate in all areas. Stay healthy everyone, and thank you again.

Exercise - yes - HIIT Tracking - yes, everything Under Calorie Limit - absolutely Liking the posts in this Challenge and the inspiration.

I have Bob’s Mills9 grain cereal, with apple bits and cinnamon cooked right in. Or, I make a veggie “omelette” vegan style, made out of chick pea flour and other stuff - more like a pancake with veggies cooked in. One more idea: a vegan protein smoothie - pea protein powder, water, kale leaves, frozen strawberries & some…

Exercise - yes Tracking - yes Stayed within calorie allowance - yes Looking forward to reading about CICO - have been Vegan since December 5th, and have read a ton about the quality of the calories that go in, how to ensure proper nutrient intake, and how to make things yummy and satisfying when eating Vegan. Really…

Exercise - yes Within calorie budget - yes Keep track of all I ate and drank - yes I find it extremely useful to track immediately when I eat, then as was mentioned by Ranger Rick (is that really your name?), I make eating adjustments for my evening meal if needed, or I do an afternoon workout; I LOVE the ability to add…

Exercised - for sure, a ton! Tracked everything - yes, I have learned that what gets measured gets accomplished & desired changes can happen Stayed within/below my calorie goal? Yes! Was a good day.

Tracking - yep Calories - yes, under Exercise - 15 minute arm/shoulder workout, two walks with dogs through snow, 48 minutes of cross country skiing. Awesome day!

Yes, I cross country skied for 51 minutes through our pastures; it was amazing!!! I stayed within my calorie count and made rice noodles to go with my stir fry for the first time; peanut sauce. Mmmmm. I also kept track of EVERYTHING I ate and drank. Good Day.

Are you my twin?

Exactly my story! Glad to meet you.

Is there a way to “forward” this challenge to my son-in-law who is also on MFP?

Hi, Just joined. I am 63, vegan (living on a cattle ranch - crazy, I know), have lost 35 pounds and have 15 more to go, and started regular exercising again a week ago and already feel soooo much better. This is my first challenge. Looking forward to it!

Thanks

I sure can relate to every post here! Whether going vegan or paleo - I have great success on either - clean eating has worked wonders for me, along with exercise of course. I have researched and for me, I only need to exercise for 1/2 hour or so a day for the benefits. It simply feels good to feel good! No dairy, sugar,…

I also have about 20 lbs to lose and am doing it via clean eating. I agree with SwimMighty, it is good to try new stuff each week and invest in some good cook books. It has helped me lose 30 lbs already - whether paleo or vegan...getting involved with cooking and learning works tremendously. I have used both “Paleo for…

I also found good information on nutrients in the book “Becoming Vegetarian”. I have it all tabbed and things highlighted; I refer to it often. It also shows sample menus that should shed some light on nutrients.

Hi, can you recommend a good vegan protein powder that does not have sugar?

Hi, I could use some accountability too. I don’t know how to friend people yet...still learning.

I’m in. Just started up a little while ago. The program is working well for me, looking to lose about 20 lbs. And also wanting to exercise more consistently.

Hi, I just started also - a few days ago. Liked your post...glad to meet you...you/we’re NOT crazy! Let’s go!
