As a herbivore it's very easy to eat right, protein is almost in everything, including kale :) Great foods to add to your list: buckwheat, quinoa, lentils, mung beans, any legumes. Even a simple dish of brown rice with black beans and spinach mixed into it is absolutely packed with nutrients. Being plant-based is very…

I don't want to say I'm vegan because I don't like the label, it has become very negative in the past few years. I do not judge people for what they choose to eat, I don't preach and I don't get mad if my friends have meat on their plates. When I invite friends over to my house, I do not restrict them to my way of eating,…

EXACTLY

beautiful post!!! Congrats on the weight loss, absolutely love your attitude and strength!

He probably had several health scares with doctors telling him to lose weight, I kinda learn the hard way generally, so I can totally see how the blunt comment would have kicked his butt :)

Oh sorry! I copy and paste it from the Yahoo website, it was a video of a guy who lost a lot of weight, his story... his Dr. asked him what he wanted in his obituary, that's what made this guy lose weight :)

Mine is finally gone, took 6 years :)

Junction/High Park here, mom to 2 little ones with 35 lb to lose :)

Outside or inside, the chemicals from nail polish seep through your child's nails into her/his blood stream... many of these chemicals cause cancer. Kinda nuts

Horrible chemicals in nail polish...

You can also use the gatorade bottles to pee into (wide opening), it's funny, many runners get a nervous bladder while waiting in the huge crowds in front of the start line and the toilets always have crazy long lines in front of them. I've seen Kenyan runners do this too :)

Exactly!

Me either

Strength training (in addition to running) 3 times per week usually kicks the weight loss into high gear :)

You mean more women than men? Yes, so? :)

Good idea, Jon :)

Hey, I'm from Toronto :) Congrats on the awesome weight loss! Are you exercising? I easily lost 5 lb during my first week and for the second week I raised my calorie intake and quickly lost another 4 lb, this second week is not over yet! I do stair-walking, strength training and a lot of walking in general. The most…

Very tasty with cayenne and curry, basically add flavour and veggies :)

Honestly, judging by the pics, you were beautiful before you lost weight and now you look healthier, congrats on all the hard work and amazing results, your post is very inspiring! :)

Do you first soften it with water, or add it directly to your food?

I do stairs, 24 flights, 3-5 times in a row, 3-5 times per week. It's more challenging than a gym stair machine at level 12 :) Stair walking is cardio and strength training all in one

There are no races where you live? Where abouts are you? :)

Thank you, good luck to you as well! You can post here after your race :)

Are you a medical doctor?

My Dr. said that such cleanses are terrible for your immune system and metabolism in the long run.

BTW, thanks so much for the friend requests, I would love a personal message with a request, thanks in advance :)

You need to do strength training, 3-5 times per week, try using two 5 lb dumbbells to work on your upper body, you can google some basic upper body exercises. Just make sure you're doing at least 3 sets of 10-15 repeats, of each strength training exercise you choose. Also, a great strength training exercise for lower body…
