there are tons of us and groups as well. I love my slow collection of veg friends so I can snoop in their diary and get some ideas (:

I gained 100+ pounds when I was 15 and on 100mg of Paxil by a psychiatrist. I was a zombie for a year and overmedicated. When I went for my yearly physical, my family doctor told me I wasn't supposed to be taking anymore than 30mg a day at my age and he promptly weened me off of it. The weight stuck into my 20's. Then,…

You look amazing sir! Great job!

You are AMAZING!

I lost the 7 pounds I gained since I started at the gym last month, plus another pound. So 8 pounds. I don't feel like I did though and I have been depressed since the holidays. I need to lose my depression : /

I bought a couple soy protein powders from vitacoast.com for a decent price. I bought their own brand of vanilla and chocolate, and then a plain flavored one (Jarrows Iso-rich soy) to add into soups and dinners for an extra protein boost. I use them as either a meal replacement or to boost daily protein intake. If I use it…

I sent you a request. My best advice is to take full advantage of all the vegan websites on the internet. There are SO MANY RESOURCES and recipes for even the pickiest of eaters. I eat more food now than I ever have (variety wise) and I have found so many amazing recipes to try. There are lots of resources online for all…

I am a vegetarian that is as close to vegan as possible with the exception of occasional milk traces in foods. Always enjoy more veg friends (:

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away

Before I gave up eggs I bought free range eggs from trader joes. I later found out that even though they are free range they still cut their beaks. The imagery made me really sad and I quit eggs that moment.

I went veggie in May of this year for ethical reasons. I then molded my daily diet for health reasons. Get used to the mundane questioning and pestering of others. It's borderline bullying and pathetic. I have learned to tune it out but it still happens occasionally (like on xmas at work when a coworker pushed a plate of…

Bump to save, will definitely try these with flax!

go to the gym for some cardio and strength training while blasting some music, do my nails, or watch some simpsons, futurama, archer or it's always sunny.

I spit out my coffee

Happy Herbivores community on here is a great place. It's easy to gain weight with or without meat if you eat too many calories and junky foods. Don't become a carbitarian!

I have changed my eating lifestyle and it has worked wonders. I don't deprive myself of anything. If there is a healthier option (baked instead of fried, for example) then I will go that route but I eat everything in moderation. Except french fries... if they have them at work in the cafeteria, then there are some days…

Friendly Atheist here who hates the whining about the holidays. I celebrate the holiday as a traditional thing (seeing family I don't get to see that often, giving back to those who I care about, holiday pay at work!!) and I hate the whining as well. The only time that I ***** and moan is at all the traffic on the roads. I…

electro house and dubstep

This. Even though I feel the burn in my thighs from pedaling through the resistance, my HR doesn't really budge.

Let me help you with that patting!

Getting a HRM changed my whole outlook on what I was actually burning during workouts on the treadmill and bike. There are a lot of cheaper models out there if you are tight on cash that might be not nearly as acurate as others, but even those would be better than the inputs on machines and the calculator on this site. I…

Another vote for starting out with circuit training videos like 30 day shred. I have 3 pound weights at home and using them during 30DS had my arms sore for days (I had ZERO fitness when I started...).

I bought mine after I lost 25 pounds. It was my little gift to myself to keep going. I got a Polar one (after reading the boards) and was amazed at how off the numbers were. I realized how little I was burning when I wasn't putting my all into my workouts. I use it every time I go to the gym now. My HR transmits to my…

Great work!

You look amazing! Congrats on 100 gone girly

Yup, cholesterol is a definite indicator of animal byproducts. And you, Mr Moverfieldll are adourable >.>

One of my local Chinese take out places has General Tso's tofu. Out of like 20 Chinese places in my town this is the only place that makes it. I was eating it a lot, too much actually, that I kind of got tired of it. Check menus of your local places. If they serve veg options it's under Vegetables or Bean Curd section. I…

I was 320 when i started last june. It was rough and I had to modify a few things but my HRM said it was working and so did the scale and my body. I felt great. I pushed myself a little too much by doing 2 sessions and strained my shoulder and had to let it heal a couple weeks and then I never started up again. Lesson…
