sorry if I sounded so strict, I just meant whole, foods are most nutritious, regardless of trying to lose weight or not, with this site, you track calories, fat, protein, carbs, so if you want something and it fits, go ahead. it's almost impossible to get big manly muscles, female body builder spends many hours each day…

you could save a bit of leftovers from dinner. I often have a green smoothie (leafy greens, and a piece of fruit...easy and full of vitamins and minerals, and fibre) steelcut oatmeal is good too tofu/veggie scramble steamed veggies baked sweet potato sunwarrior makes a great protein powder and vega makes a good, highly…

Congratulations! you lost 5 pounds in a month!

That is a lot of questions!! You get a number of calories per day called your goal, that will change depending on how many calories you burn through exercise. you should try to eat whole, natural foods more than processed, refined foods. You should find a variety of activities your enjoy that meet the three main areas of…

bump!!!!!!!

check out Dr. T Colin Campbell, or Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, or Dr. Neil Barnard, or Dr. John MacDougall, or Dr. Matt Lederman, I could go on, but basically, if you are eating a variety of whole, plant foods, you will not have any problems getting enough protein. now, to answer the posted question - all beans, and lentils…

I've kept an opened container of tofu for up to a week in my fridge, just change the water every day. It might last even longer, but I haven't tried. You're right about the expiration date, that is only useful before it's opened.

surprised no one else responded, I'd love to hear more ideas!

1 Pea soup boil green peas in vegetable broth (frozen is fine, dried it good too but takes a lot longer) add diced onion add mint (I use a peppermint tea bag) 2 lentil soup saute some onion, garlic, ginger and cumin add 3 cups of water 1 cup of red lentils a bit of salt and chili pepper to taste bring to a boil and simmer…

thanks everyone! I'll check out the stickers and those websites!

how are you able to avoid them? we don't have any labeling laws in Canada, any tips?

really? no one has anything to say?

I use Sun Warrior protein. I like it much better than other vegan ones I've tried. even if you aren't vegan it's a great choice because it's easy to digest, full of natural enzymes, gluten free, non-gmo and so on. as for whether you need to add a protein shake...I would base that on your daily food diary. if you tend to be…

good for you!!!

thanks so much! I've been dancing as a hobby for around 10 years now. kind of wish i had taken it more seriously years ago, but, still learning and still having fun.

wow! thanks for the compliments!!! and, yes the one called ibnil balad was also me, last summer.

yeah! that's like putting supermodels in weightwatchers commercial!!

thanks for the link! I've seen other people wearing these and didn't know where to get them. I used your link and found a store in my city! yay!!

I would absolutely hire her as my trainer if I could!

yeah, and they are wearing high heels!!

congratulations!!!!!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!!

bump! will have to add to this soon!

you are all so inspiring!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you rock!!!!!!

way to go miss 100 pounds smaller!!! and I agree, if you're actually hungry have something nutritious, but if not there are some great gum flavours. oddly I sometimes just brush my teeth when I feel that way.

congratulations!!!! and it's so inspiring to hear someone focussed on health more than appearance. hope you feel as fabulous as you look!

salad with rice, falafel and mango chipotle dressing. and a glass of chia fresca total 450 cals

I just got a short hair cut last month, I've had long hair for nearly 30 years! I was scared out of my mind but, even though I didn't get the cut I wanted I'm still quite happy about it and looking forward to getting what I wanted. (google images of ginnifer goodwin - super cute!!)

I totally agree with using cocoa powder, you can use as much or as little sweetener as you like (agave, sugar, honey, maple syrup or artificial sweetener) you can use water or skim milk or almond milk, and you can add extra flavour like ginger or cinnamon. Real cocoa powder is a great source of antioxidants and iron too.…

I love green smoothies too!!!! also discovered kale chips

1) 5-10 pounds - wear the clothes that I was able to wear this time last year. 2) 10-20 pounds - discover that those clothes are 1-2 sizes too big! go shopping! 3) final goal - post a success story on mfp!!!!
