Wow - I am so proud of you for logging all that effort! I am a fan of the Jillian Michael's DVDs and participated on some of the group forums on that subject. I haven't done the Revolution, just Ripped in 30 and 30 Day Shred. I didn't stay on routine while the kids were home over the summer and just restarted 30 Day Shred…

Thanks for sharing all the funny stuff! The last one especially made me crack up. :)

got it -- thanks!

I can fit my boots over my calves without a struggle since eliminating animal products -- so happy about that change!

I have a small portion of raw cashews and some dried berries with my green tea in the mornings -- no preparation required!

Dankon DirCat! Mi ne antaŭ vidis tiun retpaĝon. Mi ŝatas alian retpaĝon de Don Harlow: http://donh.best.vwh.net/Esperanto/correlatives.html Bedaŭrinde, Don Harlow mortis, sed mi renkontis lian edzinon. Mi ŝatas kiel li eksplikis Esperanton gramatikon.

My diary is public so you are welcome to check it out. I have been away for a few camping trips recently so there are a few weeks where my diary was not complete. I tend to overeat but I eat a lot of whole foods. I don't know how much inspiration I can provide. One of my favorite dishes lately is mediterranean lentils and…

Saluton DirCat! Via unua ŝanĝo al sana matenmanĝo estas bone. Mi esperas ke ĝi alportas rezulton al vi. (Smoothies) estas tre bona. Mi ankaŭ ĝuas sukon de freŝa fruktoj kaj plantoj. Mia plej bonaj tagoj okazas kiam mi establas bonegan skemon por la tago unua aĵo. Bonan volon kun viaj penoj! Dankon por via konsileto pri…

I did a juice fast for about a week in February. I loved how I wasn't hungry and that I had good energy. I did eat small amounts of veggies at dinner time with my family. I broke the fast when my family went to Disneyland. I didn't have a problem readjusting to 'regular' food, although I have had mostly a plant-based…

I have been tempted to drop Facebook 'friends' that constantly post annoying religious messages but I haven't because they are family. Now I mostly just stay away from Facebook. I like the image you posted. I have the recurring thought that if there was a God, that entity would want people to be atheists because what kind…

Thank you for posting what you have learned so far. I haven't tried the brown rice nori rolls, but I will when I find them. I haven't tried the wheat berries either but I have also noticed that a wave of sleepiness washes over me after consuming some grains. I agree about the reduced sense of hunger and cravings and I love…

I love the realness of your photo compared to the staged look of the other two. Your hair is beautiful. While I think you would look great with either haircut, I think consulting with a stylist is in order. Like you, I resist the idea of high-maintenance and a stylist may be able to advise you which cut will require less…

You can also do a search on this site for vegan groups for more ideas . . .

As a parent of two young boys, I have to say . . . maab_connor's One Rule is super funny and it rings true!

To walk in beauty and to seek truth is a wonderful purpose, as is to leave the world a better place (although that is a toughie considering the damage we do in our western culture). Much better than living in fear so that a big sky daddy can judge you or as the previous poster stated: having a purpose forced on you. Just…

You're welcome. After you replied to my post, I edited it to add this information that you might find helpful: "There is a group on this site specific to juice fasting, you can find it from doing a search. There you can read about the experiences of people who have tried this."

I disagree with most of the responses here. I did a juice fast for about 5 days back in February. I didn't experience any bad effects, lost weight and felt great. I have since changed my diet to a primarily whole foods, plant based diet and feel that the juice fast gave me a jump start and changed my cravings. I haven't…

There are lots of vegetarian and vegan groups you can check out on this site. This topic has been brought up many times and a search will help you locate many responses.

I don't have an answer but I like this topic. Lots of good stuff to think about. I'm a Golden Rule person myself (although I recognize that others may not always want to be treated as I would like to be treated; still, not being them and understanding their needs that's probably the best I can do). I think Experience is…

Wow! Just wow!

Plant-powered 90+ percent of the time and happy about it!

Vegetarians get fed up with being asked this question, and this post was a humorous response to "Vegetarians - why?" posted at Thu 06/21/12 09:02 AM "Ok, I am probably going to offend some, but its not my intention. However, I just don't get it, and never will. There has never been a good argument presented to me. I figure…

I eat a plant-based diet because it makes me happy and contributes to my well-being. I have never felt better and wish I had converted years ago. I made the change based on the book Eat To Live and the movie Forks Over Knives, among others. My question is, why do people spend time questioning vegetarians instead of doing…
