Halloch Member

Eddie, Pete are the first and the oldest. Then Neugat showed up one day and pregnant. She gave birth to 5 kittens. We kept one, Daisy. Lastly Jack was a ferel cat that showed up one day with a severed tail. We trapped him, had the vet tend to him then let him go. He stuck around and decided he wanted to stay. Now we have 5.

I became vegan last October and LOVE it. My skin is clear. My energy has increased. I am at the wonderful age of menopause and guess what NO SYMPTOMS. Changing has been a piece of cake (vegan cake lol). Please add me as a friend.

I agree with Pip_squeak, its great to prepare your meal in the morning and have it ready when you get up. Must, must, must, bring your meals with you to work. I have my big meal at midnight then snack at 3am and then again a very small snack at 5 or 6am. I try not to get up during the day to eat because I just end up…

I know it sounds weird but potato peal rubbed on the skin helps to dry the area. I also use a sports bar instead of a regular bra. Breaths better and holds the girls better for workouts.

Hi Libby, I turn 53 next month. I have been a yoyo dieter since my teens. In the last year after struggling with personal issues and food additions I became vegan, well 99%, I cannot drink my coffee black yet. My food addictions have disappeared and I feel so much better. Better sleep, higher energy and a renewed zest for…

Being an older lady myself with daughter-in-laws myself I realize I have no say in who my boys get involved with. I also know how your girlfriend feels. When I was younger I was treated with disrespect by my boyfriends mother. I could not change her and did not try. I would remain polite but I would avoid her when ever…

I know its hard to quit. I must have tried at least 10 times before I was successful. I would always fall down and smoke again. That was until I did laser acupuncture. WOW, just the process was great. I left the office, sat in my car, looked around and had a grin from ear to ear. Did I feel great or what. I have never had…

That's a tough one. What I do when I omit an ingredient like cheese I use the recipe calculator with MFP. Seems to work good as long as you know how much of the other ingredients you use.

Welcome Catherine, you have come to the right sight. We are in this together.:wink:

Wow that is amazing. You look very proud and rightly you should be.

Hi, I have been doing P90X for the last 3 weeks myself. I was disappointed I could not find an approximation for the caloric burn in the exercise data base so what I did was use an exercise that was similar in effort and made up an exercise. Do I really burn this amount, I am not sure. I think your body bugg is probably…

Pounds dropping off. Well not for me either, but after 52 years here I realize the only true way to lose weight and keep it off is slow and steady. Now with my whole foods, vegan lifestyle I have no cravings. Food has become enjoyable. I know all the meat eaters don't believe this but its true. I will lose my excess weight…

Good question. I bought some the other day for my first time. Unfortunately I am working 12 hour shifts all weekend long so I can't try any of my new recipes. I will let you know what I think.

Hi Amy, welcome to team vegan. I joined MFP 2 weeks ago. I love it. I decided to go vegan about 2 1/2 months ago and I love it. I have been reading and learning as much as possible. I really enjoyed "Becoming Vegan". Last weekend my husband and I attended a "Vegan Food Festival" in Toronto. We had so much fun and tried a…

Hi, I am doing P90X lean program and working on losing 40lbs. For me I need an intake of 50% protein at this stage of the diet. This equates to about 100g. I start my day with my smoothie and include 2 scoops of Vega Sport Protein(50g) and 2 tbsp of ground salba (3g). My morning snack is The Simple Bar (another vegan…

It is funny to read some of the responses regarding the vegan lifestyle. My family had the same questions " How will I get all my protein?" What about calcium?" and many other questions. I frankly couldn't answer them so I did some research. A great book to read which contain all the information you could possibly need…

I enjoy beer but over the years I have come to realize I cannot save up my beer for the weekend or days off. What happens for me is I will enjoy 3 or 4 light beer two days in a row then I am back to square one. Monday comes and I am back to the weight I was the previous Monday. If you do want to enjoy your drinks try to…

Hi my name is Marie. I am new to the life of vegan. I have been working towards vegan for 6 weeks (about 95% pure). I am still in the process of learning to properly read labels and finding out what hidden items are really animal products. My challenge lies with my co-workers. All men, all hunters and fishermen and all…
