Vegan here. There are a few vegan/veg groups on here. theppk.com is a good recipe site, and check out the book "Appetite for Reduction", lots of good low-cal meals in there

Great job everyone. I don't have a ton of pictures from me before because I'd hide from the camera, but you get the idea. I was over 350, down to 223 now.

I've been thinking about it but it's pretty far away from me in Cincinnati, wish it was a bit closer!

Great job! All you can do is control each day moving forward. You're off to a great start!

Nice!

Great job!

Another vote for the FT4 - does the job

@TheMerryPup - It's hard to argue with a smiling dog!

I was terrified of week 5 but I actually got through it easily, then week 6 kicked me in the face. I made it through, but all 3 runs were pretty rough. Week 7 has been good though, which I just finished this morning.

I just finished up the seventh (of nine) weeks and it's been working wonders. I struggled running 30 seconds before I started, and this morning I ran 2.6 miles in 25 minutes. You'll be amazed at what you can do!

It's worked well for us before. Someone made a chocolate cake for our engagement party and revealed this method to us after everyone was through complementing how awesome it was. Use diet soda if you're worried about sugar. Enjoy!

Yeah that sounds about right to me (with vegan cheese, can't get caught by the vegan police)

Welcome aboard! This place is awesome for support. I'm also an adult newlywed (and expecting father), I get what you're going through!

Killing it

You can also make a loop in the band sometimes, depending on the exercise

For protein make sure to include tofu, seitan, tempeh, beans, legumes, quinoa. B12 is something that you may want to take a supplement for, though if you're only doing it for a summer I'm not sure how quickly that kind of thing works. I've been vegan for about a year and a half now and have never had any issues, I exercise…

The gang threw our my three suggestions: spaghetti squash, shirataki noodles and zucchini ribbons.

My HRM (Polar FT4) gives me similar results, I've wondered the same thing.

I've seen a lot of women swear by the book New Rules of Lifting for Women, which you can find here on Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/The-New-Rules-Lifting-Women/dp/1583332944

6'4", started out somewhere north of 350, down in the 220s now. Power to the big men!

If you don't want to do intervals you should probably just get out and run, each time for longer than the time before. Keep track and push yourself. I love the c25k program though, it's gotten me up to snuff pretty quickly.

Welcome! Browse around the forums, there's lots of interesting and helpful info out there, and many people are new so you'll probably find the answers to many questions that you didn't even know you had.

tofu, seitan, TVP

KIll her, and don't hide the body as a warning to the rest of them

Silk and Whole Soy for me also. I haven't tried the coconut based brand at my supermarket because I'm not a big coconut milk fan.

Cut your losses and start fresh today, you'll be fine! And go bust your *kitten* in the gym or in the park!

Haven't tried my FT4 in the pool yet but I hear it works fine. I've also been told not to push any of the buttons while underwater

p90x has a standard set that they have you do, I believe they're designed to show you pretty solid overall progress. I can't find a list online but I remember them as - Front, arms down Front, hands on hips Front, arms up flexing Side, twisting toward camera Back, arms down Back, hands on hips Back, flexing If you get…
