Hi! I’ve been vegan for 3 whole months now. Doesn’t sound like much, it actually seems longer, like a year! Haha! But it’s going well! I’m loving the new recipes I get to cook and new places I get to try. Only thing is, not much weight loss. :( I still drink. Not everyday but maybe 3 times a week. The infamous wine…

Add me! Newly vegan for 3 months now. Loving it but have fluctuated with 5 lb loss and back again. Need help with weight loss and interested in vegan keto. Kinda like raw?

I feel like I'm not balancing my food and exercise this is where I'm stuck. I really would like to know what weight machines to use and perhaps what foods to eat.

There are so many workout plans and meal plans that I don't know which one to choose? Are there specific ones for specific people? Specifically for weight loss and muscle building? I think I am overwhelmed with the amount of information out there and I really can't get a personal trainer/nutritionist so that's why I'm…

So I guess I have to stop my weekend binging then. All the hard work and healthy eating during the week is probably going down the drain then huh? Ugh! Even if it's light, low carb beer??? :s :/

United States.

Thank you! I'll wait a while before I head out!

I did HIIT on treadmill for 30 minutes...fast walk and jog...and 30 mins moderate elliptical.

So you lost weight with long haul cardio? What does that mean like cardio for over an hour or like using long term cardio only as exercise?

Yes!!!! I made some stuffed mushrooms with kale! I found the recipe on Pinterest! Soooooo good! Let me see if I can find it!

It's been 118 here in Nevada. I'm melting! Dry heat and usually hard to sweat. Have to really push it to sweat. This makes it hard for my water weight to drop. The water weight seems to go down if I sweat a bit.

I actually like HIIT. It's just that I've been a couch potato for couple years now and my heart rate sky rocketed when I started working out this week. I monitor it so it doesn't go too high. I understand that I'm out of shape. I still didn't do any strenuous workouts...slowly got into it but did it! I feel good! Thanks…

Underwear model! :D

Used to be!!! Not anymore!

Thank you for clarifying this! Wow! Great loss! I will definitely follow.

Nnnnnnaughty? :#

I know what it feels like to lack motivation! I've been struggling myself being a couch potato! However, I joined a gym this week and have been eating healthy! I am feeling great already! I think the motivation comes from within. It's hard. Think of a goal. How much weight do you want to lose? We all divert to our old…

Thank very much! Add as friend? Very helpful. :)

So I'm not going to bed yet because of my schedule...it is possible that I may get hungry before bedtime. If I do have some peanut butter or whatever, it should be ok before bedtime right? Especially since I'm still under deficit?

Again, thank you for your kind, helpful reply! I will do some research on meal prep and even maybe get a food scale to make sure I am logging everything correctly. I may be underestimating even?

I steam broccoli with light butter and a pinch of salt and pepper. Kroger market stores (Smith's here) have pre-packaged veggie trays ready for roasting. Today I bought a medley of zucchini, yellow squash, sweet potato, red onion, and baby carrots. They're all mainly cubed and accompanied with 2 cloves of garlic. I threw…

Thank you livinglean! This makes a lot of sense to add more calories when I workout or eat half back. Awesome. I will plan accordingly now. So what is anyone's ideal day as far as with this plan? Any suggestions for meals that will balance out with calorie burn and deficit?

Okay thank you Alatariel. I will focus on this part. This is where I was confused. I'm not sure why I found it to be confusing.

What would be an ideal day? I understand weight loss is the 1200 calorie deficit and also burning 500 calories a day with exercise is how people lose weight. Am I wrong? What is the meal prep for this plan? Anyone?

Diary numbers...

So mfp doesn't already calculate this? Omg! :s This is going to be hard!

Just a small turkey sandwich which totaled about 400. 1 1/2 Tilapia filets with 1 1/2 cup veggies equaled to about 500. So with a few more veggies and string cheese I've eaten I'm at 1,000 now. I'm trying to think...is this with the exercise and the calories burned?

So as long as I'm at 1200 with working off 500 I'm ok?

Hi! 180 cw...and I also would like to be at 140 or even 150 for Christmas. I believe it can be done. Safely. I guess we can try for 1-2 lb loss a week according to mfp recommendations. Let's do this! Add me!
