This one is also good, I think it came from a Kraft website. Of course, you'd have to use a vegetarian bouillon or base.

Do you have anything in particular in mind? Here's my own chili recipe, which is vegan also: The Best Chili Ever Ingredients: 1 onion, chopped Cooking spray 2 cloves of garlic, minced 2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed 1 can diced tomatoes, with juice 1½ cups corn 2 tablespoon…

I'm 5'5" and right now my hips are 44". Haven't measured my shoulders.

Like it's not hard enough without the negativity. You've got to do what's best for you.

I am a vegetarian and protein is not at all a concern for me. I thought it was, because that's what people always told me, until I started logging everything here and saw I am getting enough protein without even trying at all. Iron is a different story, but protein is easy if you're still eating dairy and eggs.

We went to Red Robin last week. Did you look at their website? You can customize any menu item and it tells you the changes in the calories, fat, etc. It's amazing. I had a Gardenburger on Ciabatta, no dijon spread, add regular dijon, with cheddar cheese and it was 507 calories I believe. You can also sub a salad for the…

I don't know, but I just now Googled "protein and kidney problems" and found several articles that say in a person with normal kidney function, no, high protein shouldn't cause problems, but if someone's kidneys are already functioning poorly, it will.

Oh God, they are. I could easily eat an entire box of Nutty Bars.

I like mvm.com too.

The best I've ever had is some we got from a Lebanese market, prepared there, not pre-packaged. If you have any Middle-Eastern groceries near you, check theirs out. I love hummus, but seriously, theirs was SO much better than store-bought.

Red Robin's website is awesome. You can enter any food item, customize it, and it will add and subtract data as necessary. You can try different breads, cheese, etc.

Our pediatric dentist sent us an email that they are doing this. Pretty awesome. :smile:

I stopped eating beef 19½ years ago, pork a few years after that, and poultry about 7 years ago (I never ate seafood). It was very easy for me because I never really, truly liked meat to begin with. I would imagine it would be much harder for someone who actually enjoys meat. I do eat eggs and dairy, but no meat, no…

Wow, you look like a completely different person!

I'm one of those "weird" vegetarians that doesn't like tofu. I've been told I just haven't had it prepared properly, but whatever. LOL I was pleasantly surprised to find out regular old russet potatoes have a good amount of iron but I have to be careful about what I put ON the potatoes. :wink: Did you know watermelon has…

Oooh, I'm going to have to try this. I LOVE spinach dip.

Protein is definitely not a concern for me, but iron is a HUGE concern. I am anemic, have been for a long time. I recently started eating Total at least 3 mornings a week (the mornings I don't work) and those are the only days I get enough iron. Non-meat sources that are considered "high" in iron are actually quite low and…

Maybe I'll go back to The Vitamin Shoppe, where I got this one, and ask them for one that doesn't smell like a litter box. :laugh:

What a royal @$$! I'm really sorry you're having to deal with this!

Thank you for the recommendation! I'll check them out. P.S. Is that Emerald Bay in your ticker?

Wow. What a rude b*tch. I love her faux apology too. "UPDATE: I would really like to apologize for the insensitive things I've said in this post. Believe it or not, I never wanted anyone to feel bullied or ashamed after reading this, and I sorely regret that it upset people so much. A lot of what I said was unnecessary. It…

I weigh myself every morning, right after I get up and pee (naked, of course - can't be weighing my clothes LOL), but I only log it in on MFP on Saturdays.

You look great! And you look so much younger!

You've got to be careful to get enough calories and vitamins while you're nursing. I don't remember how many calories it is that you're supposed to have (it's been a long time for me) but I would consult with your doctor just to make sure. Even though your body will compensate and provide what the baby needs so long as…

OMG, these sound delicious. I'll have to pass because I too wouldn't be able to stop.

I had no idea some states didn't put your weight on your license. :embarassed:

Good for you! That's great. Mine's always been under by at least 20 pounds. Last time, I said the highest weight I ever claimed, 180. I'm almost down there now. :smile:

You look fabulous. Your before and after pics make you look like the older sister on the left and the younger on the right. :wink:

Thank you!!!
