I had to make this decision this summer as I was getting a gift for a friend. We decided after asking lots of people to go with Vitamix. Not one complaint from anyone we knew that had one. One person bought a Vitamix, sold it to a friend to get a Blendtec because it was smaller and then wanted the Vitamix back. I also have…

great thanks!

Bumping to see if there are any others out there

Thanks I ordered one of the ebags as well

I am glad to see there are several that follow this type of diet that are strong. I see too many that are underweight, over weight or just dont look healthy. So its nice to find healthy, strong vegetarians and vegans. Thanks a bunch for the inspiration and friend requests.

Quote: feel free to add me. I have experimented with both Vegan and Raw diets (still cook/uncook both weekly), but have decided to eat fish at least twice a week. I have eggs, yogurt and cheese occasionally. And I LOVE weight-training. Love probably doesn't come close...:) Thanks. Your eating plan sounds very similar to…

So encouraging and honest. Thank you for sharing!!!

You were right. This is one of the favorite sites so far. I found several things i think i will order. Thank you.

I eat fish and seafood as well. I think i want to eventually be Vegan. I did it for 30 days and i dont know if its for me long term. We shall see :)

Great! I will send a friend request. I find a lot of Vegans and Vegetarians dont lift so I am hoping to find more here.

Great ideas. Keep them coming!

bumping...hope to get replies :)

These look great, thanks for responding. I hope i get more ideas as well. Packing my food to go is going to be a big help I think. I just want to make it as easy as possible. I do need something to hold salad so thanks.

42 and feel mid 30's even needing to lose weight. Thats a great feeling. Sign me up would be great to chat with others my age and with the same goals

So cute!

Welcome! We could use you here. I just started working with a health coach at SimplisticWholistic.com. I am hoping it helps :)

Best result i have seen with P90X. So impressed

Without question you look better in the first pic but that could be bc we couldnt see your bones. You look really, really sick in the other pics. If ANYONE thinks you need to lose anything they are sick too and should seek help.

Congrats on your running habits. Im sure you will reach the 15-20lb loss with MFP

I can soooo relate to both of these posts. I was a vegetarian almost 4 years and i was gaining weight (totally my fault, filling up on carbs) Its embarrassing when you are known for a healthy way of eating and yet you are overweight.

You have accomplished a lot! It could just be that its time to add weights or change your work out some adjust your diet with different foods etc... but I know from hearing success stories for years that consistency is key even when things slow down or stop if you keep going and changing things up you will start to lose…

I had a thread on this awhile back. If you do a search for HCG you will find several threads, really helpful

This is a good question. No idea what it should be for a woman or how to measure it.

Really great info everyone, thanks

Thanks DavPul and mmapags - great advice!

THis is good info, thanks

You've gotten great calorie advise from others so I won't repeat. When you say your elbows hurt, what exercise is it? What overall strength routine are you doing? There are some that will be most effective for overall fitness and fat burning. [/quote] My elbows hurt on overhead press mostly. But in general when i do a…

Be weary of trainers who have a certification and still don't know what the hell they are doing. [/quote] LOL - Got it!

Thanks, great addition

Wow, you guys are kicking my butt! Im so glad i asked about this. I am not heavy lifting after all. This is inspiring.
