Pretty much what other people have said - I use vegan protein powder (I really love Growing Naturals vanilla - 25 grams of protein per scoop and only 120 calories, throw some spinach and fruit in a blender) and have a smoothie every day, I make my own seitan, sprinkle hemp seeds on salads - I have a ton of fun with vegan…

It makes it so difficult to buy clothes online!

Using clothing sizes (for women) as a metric of health / fitness / self worth. I've had my mom say "Oh there's no way you're a size X" when yes, in that brand and style, I am. In other brands and styles I might be a different larger or small size, there's no standard sizing system for women in the U.S. and people have…

I'm still drinking caffeine (mainly homemade iced tea) and I love carbonation so I drink a lot of seltzer (and get that jolt of happiness from hearing the sound of a can crack or bottle open because my god did/do I love diet coke). I just feel SO ridiculous and downtrodden over a beverage that I can't help but think…

In a pinch I get a vegetable eggwhite flatbread from Dunkin Donuts. Unlike other fastfood places they serve breakfast sandwiches all the time, and the flatbread is only 280 calories with 19 grams of protein and 6 g of fat (per their website).

I'm 30 years old and I brace myself for the comments my mom will inevitably make about my weight when I go home to visit. Most recently I was "too skinny", "sickly looking", and "something must be wrong" (I'm 5'6" weigh in the 140's. Not bad, but definitely not in danger of being underweight). When I weighed more, my "butt…

Been a vegetarian for 16 years, I gained weight when I first started because I was eating so much pasta and cheese and not enough vegetables. Now I RARELY eat pasta (especially in the summer b/c it's too hot to boil water!). Some overall ideas that help me 1. Explore new foods - vegetarian diets are not limiting by any…

It's not surgery for an injury, I have a pre-cancerous mass (behind my knee of all places!) that needs to be removed. I've never had problems with my knees so thankfully I don't have to worry about reinjury or exacerbating a pre-existing injury, it's just a matter of making sure the wound heals properly and that I don't…

I take a block of extra firm tofu, cut it into slices, brush a little bit of lite soy sauce on them and bake them for about 15 minutes at 350-400 degrees F. A slice or two during the day is perfect - not very high in calories and a decent amount of protein. It's nice too because 20 minutes Sunday night provides me with…

Lost 9 lbs since the beginning of January (155 down to 146, I'm 5'7"), but more what's exciting to me is that I lost the weight employing a sustainable plan. I don't feel like a gym rat or like I can never have potato chips again, so even though my weight loss is slower than my previous attempts at losing weight, I love…
