I have to have a very carb-y meal before I take it otherwise I get sick.

Me too. I love Quorn! I'm trying to cut back my processed foods, but so good. I just had Health is Wealth Chick'n Nuggets. Happy as a clam.

I was on 1200, but I changed my weight loss goals so now I'm up to 1230. I'm 5'2", 157. I'm sure why I have to eat so low to lose weight and I think I've plateaued since I haven't lost any weight in nearly 2 months. I'm getting a little tired of agonizing over every single calorie.

I absolutely love vegan junk food. I love the burgers, the chick'n nuggets, veggie spring rolls - and of course chips, french fries and "normal" vegan junk food. When I first started to eat vegan I learned how to veganize my favorite baked goods...Took me a month of gaining weight to see that vegan chocolate cake and wine…

I LOVE this idea!

Thanks everyone! I'm going to give these a try. Especially steaming!

I am (more or less) vegan. I do it for my health not so much for the animals - though that is a happy benefit. But since I gave up meat for my health I don't cringe when I see it on a plate. Sometime I'll smell BBQ chicken and it will smell amazing, but when I walk away from it, I'm over it. For me, since I don't eat meat,…

I am always low on potassium and sodium...I'm on average 1/3% short of my potassium goal and about 25% short with sodium. I take a multi vitamin, but I've been trying to figure out how to get more of the nutrients as well. I feel better knowing that there are a lot of others with a similar problem.

Grant writing! Just started my own company/freelancing.

I am mostly vegan (I eat seafood sometimes), but my mom went nearly vegan and my dad cut down his milk and now loves almond milk. Friends and family have been supportive and ask a bunch of questions and most of them at least try to cut back on their dairy and meat.

I went to Saint Joe's. The Hawk will never die! How long have you been in Central PA?

raiderchicket - I haven't found any dairy free Annie's bunnies...but I have tried the organic and non organic version. They might actually be better than goldfish!

Thanks so much! I'm going to try to bake the Daiya and the Peas and Thank you - though I'll probably be lazy and skip the cookie cutter. Fingers crossed! PS sorry for being so long to get back to you! I didn't realize anyone saw my post let alone posted anything. I was there was a notification feature!

I've been on Wellbutrin 300XL for about 5 years. I didn't gain weight from it. If it does suppress my appetite then I'd hate to see what it would be like without it! Normally I want all my meals. Some days I'm starving all day, others I'll eat whenever I get around to it. It is what keeps me the most normal. I still very…

Add me too. I'm from Harrisburg, went to school in both Philly and Pittsburgh and have family in the Lewistown area (outside Penn State). I've lost 15 and have 20+ to go. Starting to fall off the healthy wagon so could definitely use the encouragement too!

You look really really great!

i really really did not like the margarita. I love my margaritas and prefer to choose my tequilas. I don't drink them often, so when I do, I want a real one.

I used the "Yellow" site for about eight months. It worked at first for three months and then nothing. I think it works basically the way MFP works, but I'm having much more success over here. For my needs at least, MFP is definitely better. I still go over there for nutrition articles though and think it's a great…

Question for those of you who are closer to the 130s than the 160s...have you lost any cellulite? I'm not even sure that's what it is, but it's dimple-y fat. I know even skinny people have cellulite but, if I could at least decrease it, I'd be thrilled to pieces. I was 182 at my highest (before I joined MFP) and am no…

Juanna - I haven't heard of this before. Do you just take it plain or do you mix it in stuff? How does it taste? Do you have to get it from specialty health stories or will most well stocked pharmacies have it? And last question - have you noticed any change to bellyfat since you started to take it?

I have the same problem. But I realized that I am not good at moderation and I can always rationalize it as a special something. Six months ago I realized that the reason I've had so many health issues is because I am dairy intolerant. For me, I have to go extreme and I basically went vegan - for my health, not the animals…

You can add me too!

I'm 5'2'' and started at 172. I'm 157 now and want to get to 135 - just so I can have a healthy BMI. If and/or when I get there maybe I'll aim for even less, but I'm worried if I do, I will become even more obsessed with food and my weight than I already am, and that just sounds miserable. Would love to join the group too.…

Congratulations! I'm still working on the mind over body thing myself. I'm "training" for my first 5K in July. I can only get up to 2.5 miles, but when I get tired I tell myself, "one more song, you can stop after one more song". Also, the Rent soundtrack really helps me too. The music and the story get me though at least…

You can add me too! I'm afraid I'm starting to plateau so I could use the support too

I had a similar problem. I had been trying to loose weight for over a year and could only loose a lb or two..ever. My neighbor is a nutritionist and she suggested I try taking things out of my diet to see if that is connected. I guess sometimes your body might "take issue" with certain foods though you may not necessarily…

This is what I do the worst with too. Some days you just don't want fruit when you sit down to watch TV to unwind. I try to have almonds or pistachios near by. I put them in a bowl so I know exactly how much I'm eating. And sometimes I'll have a glass of wine and always have my water beside me. Popcorn helps. When I went…

Add me too! I'm more or less vegan. I've dappled around with vegetarianism on and off for 2 years, but about 5 months ago, I figured out that dairy was the cause of the majority of my health issues. It is unbelievable what a difference it has made! I say more or less because I still eat fish sometimes. I don't know any…
