Welcome and congratulations on your new adventure! I started eating semi-bariatric style on May 1 and had VSG in mid June. I'm down 76 lbs now and as of yesterday my doc is expecting another 75 off over the next 3 months. This is a very exciting and serious way to lose weight and get healthy. I send you my very BEST wishes…

LOVE yoga! So beneficial and relaxing. One of my favorite poses is a restorative one: Supported Fish with Bound Angle. I feel totally open and ready to receive. Trish

I highly recommend the 21 day free video training on mental toughness at www.fatloser.com. It takes about 10-20 minutes a day and for me it was life-changing. At first I didn't like the speaker, his style, the website, even what he wore but the information was EXACTLY what I needed to motivate me. I've lost almost 50 lbs…

I totally second this advice! No matter how many calories you're eating if you're not getting enough nutrition your body will still cry out for more food. That's how I could still eat even though I was literally bursting from discomfort. My "full" signal didn't go off because my body was starving for nutrients. Don't focus…

The more vegetables I eat, the more weight I lose. (my personal motto) Fat people eat for pleasure. Fit people eat for health. Everything has a price. You will either pay the price to get fit and healthy or you will pay the price of being fat. I am a performance machine built for success. Whatever it takes! (The only…

I believe starvation mode happens because you're actually starving your body of *nutrition*, not calories. That's why you can eat even though you're stuffed. Your body is still craving the nutrients it needs to function properly so the "full" signal is stuck in the OFF position in your brain. I HIGHLY recommend the book,…

I have Achilles tendinitis, the cousin of PF, and two knees which are bone-on-bone. Before I could tolerate working out in the pool I used an AWESOME DVD to burn calories without any any stress to my knees and heel: "Fat Free Yoga" by Ana Brett and Ravi Singh (available on Amazon). I was able to do this yoga even when over…

My favorite: 1/2 avocado mashed in the bottom of a large salad bowl, add your favorite flavored white balsamic vinegar to the consistency you like (I like honey ginger or peach balsamic), add a little salt and pepper to taste. Toss all your crunchy veggies in the dressing along with some chopped fresh fruit…

You can find a lot of raw vegan recipes here: http://blog.fatfreevegan.com/ http://www.choosingraw.com/ I just made the Chocolate Chia Pudding from the Choosing Raw site and it was awesome! I served it over strawberries and mango and topped it with raw sliced almonds. What a great treat.

Idea 1 - Whole grain tortillas filled with black beans, frozen corn, green chilies, onions, a LITTLE low fat cheddar if you want, and some salsa. Make a big batch, roll them up burrito style and freeze them in two layers of freezer zip-locs. When you need a quick dinner just take one out and nuke it for a few minutes. Top…

I second this wholeheartedly!

Woo hooo! Glad to see such a great active thread. Tues Goals Eating: DH and I are running away for the weekend. I want to stick to our nutritarian diet even when away at a hotel for 2 nights. It won't be easy but it's got to be doable. Exercise: 3 yoga sessions this week (I've got limited mobility right now so this is all…

Daikon radish is one of my favorite raw veggies. Peel it and slice it into "chips" and use with salsa, guacamole, and hummus. It's very mild and crunchy. I'm also a huge fan of beans (great source of protein and fiber), greens of all kind, and sweet potatoes. Oh, and I love those great flavored balsamic vinegars you can…
