For me the key is to pig out on veggies (especially greens), friuts and high fiber foods like beans, and limit my carb intake (i.e., whole grain bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, etc.) to 1-2 servings per day max. I aim for a minimum of 30g fiber per day. And I absolutely stay away from sugar - If I eat even one sugary…

Check out the book "Eat to Live" by Dr. Fuhrman. 6 week program that can shed 20lbs+ if you truly have it to lose. It's not a diet, it's the introduction to a healthy lifestyle, and it really works.

I am a primarily plant based runner as well...feel free to add me if you'd like.

Read the book "Born to Run" or grab the audio book version like I did from my local library. Changed my whole perspective on running shoes!! It's by Christopher McDougall.

I like your ticker!

I read this in the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall, tried it out, and have adopted it as my regular BF. I eat salad for breakfast now. Lots of greens, add blueberries, strawberries, banana, whatever fruit I want, then sprinkle it with flax seeds, chia seeds and sunflower seeds. I love it. I actually bought one…

For me I have to be to work by 8 but my kids are always up around 6am, making it difficult to workout in the morning. I tried working out in the morning for a few months by begging my husband to get up early with the kids, and while I loved getting it over in the morning, I found that my workouts were limited and I could…

trying this one!

In my experience, you only need to do 1 long run per week. The rest of your workouts can be 30-45 minutes and then gradually increase your one longest distance each week. The longer the distance, the slower you should start out running to save energy for the increase at the end. The first time I finished a 10k, I walked…

I totally hear you! My husband and kids are wonderful, but they are all so demanding of my time and attention that I get very overwhelmed at times. You are not alone, that's for sure. Two things that I have to remind myself of often, but when I do them they really work: 1. MAKE time to RELAX. Mommy time. Me time. For me, I…

If I were in your shoes, I would find a new doc. and ask as many questions as possible as to why s/he is suggesting what s/he is. Maybe try it your way first for a week or two and see if you get any weight loss going. If you start loosing, then keep it up. However, if after two weeks you haven't lost any weight, then try…

I've been at this weight loss thing for about a year now, and I can tell you I've been through exactly what you just described. Everyone's different, but what works for me is this: when I am totally craving sugar to the point of caving in, I let myself. I can eat whatever I want to eat, BUT I HAVE TO LOG IT IN. The first…

Awwwesoooome!

You ROCK!! Awesome job! What an inspiration to see. Any tips or advice?

I am in the same situation. I have just reached a healthy BMI but BARELY. I am at exactly 25, and 26 is over weight. But everyone is getting worried about me. In reality, I can still lose 10-20 more lbs and still be healthy, not underweight. I'm finding it hard to get support to lose that last 10lbs. I, like you, just want…

Try adding more fiber into your diet. I switched my breakfasts to cereal with 10g fiber and have not been hungry all day since. If I do get hungry, I grab a nutrition bar that's high in fiber, such as an atkins bar (20g protein, 10g fiber). Keeps me full. AND, drink water drink water drink water!! Water keeps you full…

The difference is DEFINITELY obvious!! Nice work and keep it up!!!!!
