Hi everyone! I am currently transitioning to veganism and have never been more excited to get healthy, do my part for the environment, and respect the animals I love so much. My transition has been a gradual one, as I have been researching and experimenting with ways to get healthy the natural way. I don't want to put…

I have found some good recipes at http://www.kalynskitchen.com/ and also at http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/ I find that the easiest way to plan my daily meals is to do what is fairly quick and easy. I am just finishing my first week on SB. The first 4 days, I had a constant headache (I'm assuming it was from carb…

I too feel hungry at times, but I try to drink lots of water and chew gum if that happens. Do you have the Vi-Trim? That helps to control hunger and curb carb cravings. Also, the cookie is a great snack idea. I find that if I'm drinking the shakes, which keeps the calories down, I can eat plenty of healthy snacks and still…

Hi everyone! I am glad to find others on MFP who are also looking for support while doing the 90 day challenge. I am on my second week of the challenge and have lost 3lbs so far. I have noticed that I went up a pound this week, but I'm confident the weight will begin to move down again. I am excited to see what my results…

Bump thanks for the info

I, too, feel that what I'm told should be my goal weight is just TOO skinny. I would look like a little girl if I got down to 100lbs! I am 5'1" and currently 141lbs. My goal weight is to get down to 120lbs. I feel like that would be a good look for me. I'm stuck on 141lbs, though. Trying not to get discouraged. I know this…

Hello all! I just recently joined this group, but I have been on MFP for three weeks now. I was on Atkin's a year ago for three months and lost about 25lbs, so I know that Atkin's works. That being said, I am back on a low carb diet :-) I'm excited to see results again, as I have been a little frustrated with my weight…

You bring up a very good point! The goal is to create a lifestyle that we can maintain even after we reach our goal weight. By eating 1200 calories or less a day, not only are we not feeding our bodies the fuel it needs, but we are also setting ourselves up to not be able to maintain this lifestyle. I was doing 1200…

Welcome! I've been on here almost three weeks now and have lost 4lbs so far...hopefully 5lbs by the time I weigh in on Monday. You will find this is a great community. I love that the website not only helps you track your food and exercise, but also provides a community forum where we can share stories and advice. I also…

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I will be sure to log it in and I'm excited to see it hasn't hindered anyone's weight loss. I eat healthy for dinner still so now I know I can enjoy that glass every now and then.

I will definitely work up to using some weights while doing crunches. For now, it was a workout just trying to get through 5 minutes LOL. I didn't realize adding the weight per repetition was optional. I thought I was doing something wrong, because after I entered the set and reps per set, it said I didn't burn any…

Bump...sounds yummy

I am new to the community and love looking at other people's recipes for ideas, so as to mix it up and not get bored. A couple of people have said they used almond or vanilla extract to help flavor the greek yogurt. Can anyone tell me the amount of extract they used (almond or vanilla)? I'm pretty much go by the recipe…
