Now that I know you're 16, I'm even more impressed. You are amazing. Most 16-year-olds (mine included) couldn't even stick with one type of music for a week, let alone sticking with a new life like you have. CONGRATS!

Honestly, you look 30 in the first picture and 16 in the second. :) Great work!

Pretty soon your ticker will encourage someone else. :smile:

Darn it.

Try again. The IMG and /IMG have to be img and /img.

I was on it for over four years and stopped about 12 years ago. I didn't notice the weight coming on because it was slow, but once I stopped getting it, I lost about 25-30 pounds in a matter of a few months without changing anything.

Wow! You look like a completely different person! I bet you feel fantastic.

Here's another easy, also vegan recipe: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/veganvegetarian-unfried-beans Had them for dinner last night and having them again tonight. They're so low in calories and so good for you. Yum. Edited to add: I use a hand blender to mix them.

Added the sugar I inadvertently left out the first couple of times.

Crap! You're right.

I was taking a multi and didn't have any idea how much it was helping me until I ran out. The next day, and every day until today (6 days in a row), I was super tired and just felt like doing nothing. I didn't make the connection until today. Looked it up and B12 definitely helps with energy. I went to Walgreens and bought…

Oooh, that sounds good! Next time I'll change it up a little too. Let us know how that turns out!

Ok, I made them. It didn't make 18, it only made 12, so here's the updated nutritional content: And here's what the finished product looked like before I ate it :laugh: I really liked it. It would have been even better with some cinnamon sprinkled on top but either I have no cinnamon or I can't find it.

I've bf three for between 14 and 29 months each and it took a very long time for things to get close to regular again. If you're at all concerned, I would definitely take a pregnancy test to ease your mind, but it's probably just that your body is still trying to get back to normal.

Mushroom and cheddar omelets are my favorite and actually one of the only ways I like to eat eggs. I'm not an egg person much myself either.

Wow, great work! That's amazing.

I'm not vegan, but I am vegetarian. I wish you nothing but luck in your journey! You'll do great. This site has so many very supportive people to cheer you on, you can't help but be a loser, in the best sense of the word. :flowerforyou:

I agree. A false negative is easy, but to get a positive, that hormone's got to be there. Stop stressing (I know, easy for me to say) and go get a blood test tomorrow. Good luck!

Whole Foods is great, but really expensive. Trader Joe's is extremely reasonably-priced.

Love your attitude and WOW at your weight loss! Congratulations. YOU are the inspiring one.

OMG, you look so beautiful! And way younger! Way to go!

http://www.diet-blog.com/08/the_mythical_daily_water_requirement.php Water Intake - Not Just From Water Counter to what I've just presented, we actually DO need at LEAST 8 glasses of water per day. But here's the catch: This intake is satisfied not only from water intake, but also from other fluids, the food we eat and the…

That's how I felt at Olive Garden, not eating the "endless" salad and breadsticks and then at Red Robin not eating the "bottomless" fries. BUT, I felt so much better afterward. I felt stronger inside, like I defeated something. :wink:

37 in CA. Feel free to add me. :)

Thank you, everyone. We'll all be "healthy" soon. :smile: For the first time in my life, I weigh exactly what my driver license says. Half a pound less, actually. It's always at least 20 pounds under my actual weight. Once I hit my goal, I just might fork over the $30 for a new one just so I can change my weight. :wink:

According to another website (using wrist measurement), I have a large frame. According to the website above, my ideal weight is 137-155. I had already chosen 145 because by BMI, I would be just under overweight at 150.

If you want to make your own refried beans, I have a recipe that I make quite frequently. They're made in the crockpot, so they're not truly "refried" but I love them. The recipe is posted here: http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/veganvegetarian-unfried-beans

I went to a Mediterranean market today to get hummus thanks to this. LOL SO good. Got some good, fresh pita bread there too, then some celery and baby carrots at Trader Joe's and now I'm stuffed.
