  • Amazing! Way to go!
  • Chicken and beef broth are animal based so that would make the soups nonvegan. They sell vegetable broth and you can also find vegetable bouillon as well and make your own broth
  • I cannot wait
  • Everyone looks so incredible and it gives me so much hope and motivation! A very happy BUMP for all the times I am about ready to throw in the towel
  • amazing job, way to go!!
  • Any of the vegan ones! I am in love with white chocolate. I tried the fudge brownie one last night and was so amazed at how good it was!
  • my local grocery store has it in the bakin aisle. Bob's Red Mill has their own flax seed along with every type of flour imaginable (hello garbanzo bean flour!) and health food stores sell it as well. I got my nutritional yeast in bulk at Whole Foods (got about 3 cups worth for a buck or two since I don't use it as often as…
  • try to add in ground flax seed into your meals and nutritional yeast is great too. Nutritional yeast has a slight cheese flavor and it's much healthier than the fake cheeses. I find the fake cheese is super oily and not worth the calories but we keep it in the house since my roommate eats it all the time. oh she glows is a…
  • I'll send you an invite, and also check out some of the vegan and vegetarian groups on here!
  • I meant with a strict budget!! And on second thought frozen veggies may be cheaper, unless you get a great deal on canned or you go to a local farmers market for lots of greens. Salads are a great tool to start with for a meal and just add all kinds of fixins in there!
  • With a very strict diet, I highly recommend fresh fruits and veggies, bulk grains if you have access to them (Whole Foods sells them by the pound and you can get as much or little as you would like), and canned beans and tofu for protein. If you also have access to bulk grains, pick up some TVP (textured vegetable…
  • YES! There is nothing sexy about a guy who always orders take out or drive through!
  • Every morning, right after I turn on the shower to heat up. Always get on two or three times because sometimes the numbers are off the first time. I either get in the shower thinking about what I ate the past couple of days or I do a little jig!
  • I have PF and a heel spur in my left foot. The pain started in January and it is still ongoing. I am so glad that I am not the only one suffering in this. It's so embarrassing to start limping every time I get up. I need to stop wearing flipflops!
  • I used to diet that way, just shoving whatever in my mouth as long as I didn't go over calories, but I started changing my habits. I figure, why eat 500 calories of garbage that only leaves me hungry in an hour when I can have a 500 calorie dinner consisting of a yummy side salad and a filling LARGE dinner? I eat more than…
  • also, check out Ohsheglows, Post Punk Kitchen, vegweb and vegetarian times' websites for some recipes!
  • Newly vegetarian, mostly vegan, feel free to add me!! My best friend/roommate is also a vegetarian and it's wonderful to have a meatfree house! Check out vegan recipes and if you want to modify things to vegetarian just add the dairy. Heads up though, cheeses that say they have enzymes are using Rennet. It's an animal…
  • I second anything from post punk kitchen! The website is great, her books are awesome. Check out Vegan with a Vengeance and Vegonomicon!

  • Being super healthy before I hit 30 next year! To not be winded after walking up the steps at the hospital I work in lol
  • Woo hoo a group aimed at my future skinny self!! My name is Jennie, I am 29 and live in southern NJ. I have identified myself as an Atheist since I was 12 and realized there was something that explained my lack of belief in hocus pocus and fairy tales. I have probably been faithless since I was about 8. My parents had a…
  • Hi everyone! My name is Jennie and I have been slowly transitioning into being meat free for the past year and a half. I have always felt guilty eating meat and never digested red meat and felt a little better when I gave it up a year ago. I recently watched Food Inc after avoiding it for a couple weeks because I was…

My HW ever was 363 a couple years ago. I am lucky to be tall and feel that I carry my weight well, but my health is starting to affect me. I am doing a lot of…
