I just received a new cookbook Craving Vegan by Sam Turnbull (her blog is called It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken). I have had good results with her recipes before so have high hopes for these new ones. Simple and easy for weeknights.

Hi all. I'm Jodi. I have been vegetarian (aspiring vegan) for over a decade. I'm back to MFP after regaining all the weight I lost :'( . Need to get back to focusing on healthy food and finding time to exercise. I'm so excited to find an active community and hope to connect with all of you for motivation , support and…

Hi! I'm Jodi. I'm a 53 year old long time vegetarian & new vegan trying to lose aprox 20 pounds and improve my health. Im finding it very hard to stay on track ! I'm super busy with work and family which makes it too easy to rely on vegan junk food and to make excuses to skip out on exercise. So my immediate goals are…

Hello ! I just turned 50 and have been a vegetarian for 12 years. I am now almost vegan - will slip and eat eggs or cheese if I'm out of my home and there are no alternatives. Hoping to get back onto MFP regularly for accountability. Working from home has led me to make unwise food choices (stress eating and snacking all…

Good Morning everyone! Last week weight 157.5 Cw : 158 Would have loved to see a loss but kind of releived that I basically held even. This was a rough week for me. Lots of social functions that involved eaging out. I feel a bit puffy and rings a bit tight so wondering if im holding a bit of water weight too. Well- on to a…

Going to be about 500 calories over today. My son's birthday and his favorite restaurant doesnt have very healthy options. But enjoyed the celebration. 14 years old already!! Will have to try to eat a little less the rest of the week but will be tough. Have dinner and a movie scheduled with friends Friday night and a…

Hello everyone. I am so excited to join this group for inspiration and accountability. I am 49 years old from NJ. Married with 2 boys (10 and 13) and some pets. I work full time. My boys have numerous after school and weekend activities so I often fall into the trap of buying fast food or ordering take- out when I am time…

Love reading all these recipes and plan to try them all! The french fried onions are a great idea

Hello! I'm also ready to get back on track. Was close to goal weight over the summer but started sliding back into making bad choices. Swore it wouldnt happen again but it did. Too much processed vegan junk food. Trying to lose about 15 pounds and get back to meal planning. Would love to share motivation, recipes and tips…

Me too! After my vacation the end of August it all started going downhill. Time to get motivated and start the new year strong. :)

Thanks for sharing your story. So inspiring

Great Job!

I have made this recipes for two parties recently and it was a big hit at each : https://www.wellplated.com/roasted-cauliflower-bruschetta/

Thanks :)

I love them too! They are my favorite convenience food .Tofu Scramble, the kale pasta, the nlack bean burrito and the curries are my favorites. Right now I'm trying intermittent fasting and the Light meals are a great quick lunch on my fast days since most range from 240 - 269 calories.

That is on my list of places to visit!

Hi everyone. Nice to meet all of you. I'm really looking forward to starting 5:2. This is my second fast day. So far so good!

I have just started and am trying basically the same thing you are. My fast days are Monday and Wednesday. I am going to try to eat 1000- 1200 on non-fast days during the week. Hoping this will give me a bit of a buffer for the weekend.

I had it shredded and barbeque flavored ( it was pre-made). I used it in a wrap and the texture was pretty good but I didn't like the sauce used. I'm looking forward to trying it again but prepared a different way. I will be interested to see how others like.

Hi! I'm from NJ

I'm always looking for a great vegan mac and cheese recipe. Thanks for sharing- I will definitely give this a try

Banza pasta made from chickpeas. Good to have on hand for a quick dinner. Also a good way to sneak in some protein.

I love to be outside hiking or jogging. If I need to be indoors I like the shorter Beachbody workouts (T25 or Insanity Max 30) or yoga

Hi everyone. Feel free to add me !

Hi everyone! Glad to hear you are all enjoying it. I just received mine and will be starting tomorrow.

I'm into tempeh lately. And tofu scrambles. But I am not sure if they are high in carbs or not. If you enjoy smoothies maybe you can add protein powder.
