Vegan 2 years and focused on building lean muscle. Feel free to add me!

I've been vegan before now I am back for good. Feel free to add me.

I usually either do a tofu scramble or Van's Powertrains Waffles with field roast "sausage" or seitan "bacon" If I have time I'll do potatoes.

Yes, I struggle to keep my protein up and fats down so I am supplementing.

Hi, I am from the US. Feel free to add me.

39 determined to be in the best shape of my life by 40!

Thanks for sharing! Bump

I would probably leave a container of food with my name on it laced with super hot pepper (I forget the name of it) or maybe laxatives. Be creative. Then maybe that will be the last time they eat your food ;-)

I love DailyBurn. I stream it to my TV with an HDMI cord. I've only been doing the 15 minute works with the Yoga on some days and my muscles are sore just from that!

Looks good! And the ingredients are natural. I wonder if you can get them in the US too?

LOL, I dare you, no I double dog dare you to say this to a lifting woman's face and not just on the internet safely hiding behind your monitor. You'll wish you had some muscles to protect yourself when she beats you to sleep.

BUMP for later

Even though the exercise calories are not real accurate. I do enjoy a cheat meal at the end of the week. I would say you could eat back some of those calories then if you stop losing weight reevaluate your diet.

I know that it's calories in calories out regardless of the quality of the food but I feel like I get better results if the food is healthy. I have more energy for my workouts which helps my metabolism. So it depends if you just want to be smaller or smaller and healthy looking.

I want another tattoo. I have 2, one of which was an impulse and I regret. I know what I want the tattoo of but not sure of the design or where I'd put it yet. As far as the topic of whether you should get your spouse's permission. I don't think I'd bother getting married if it meant I needed permission for every decision…

While he should feel like you value his feelings and opinions, at the end of the day it is your body.

I like plain Fage 2% Greek yogurt.

This is me. I got tired of logging 2 years ago. I was pretty damn close to my goal too. Now here I am again almost 20 lbs more than when I left. I ruined all of my hard work. So for me this is how it has to be. However, I found that I don't have to continuously count all week long if I prepare all of my meals for the week…

I hear you. My mom will sometimes make me large dishes of pasta or sweets to take home. I used to argue with her about it but now I just take it, say thank you, then bring it to work for my co-workers to enjoy. If you allow yourself a cheat meal during the week maybe you could save it for the family gathering and have a…

7 lbs in a month is good. Don't forget that because you are a woman, there is going to be one week out of the month where either you'll lose nothing or you'll gain a lb or two. That's just how it is. So considering that, 7 lbs is quite impressive. I've lost 6 lbs and no one has said anything to me yet either. It's OK they…

I hear ya. I don't have the kids and my job keeps me moving but I still struggle. I love my dark chocolates and dining out. MFP is the only way for me to keep myself in check. It looks like you are doing all the right things. Keep up the great work!

I am so sorry your parents are so unsupportive . It must be very difficult to live in that kind of environment. I haven't read though the replies so forgive me if this has been suggested already. But if you have the money, maybe buy yourself a small refrigerator to keep in your room and keep your dry food in your room too,…

So if I pay for dinner then have sex, does that make him the hooker? If he's willing to have sex on the first date isn't he just as trashy? Why is the woman always demonized for doing the same thing the man is doing?

I make my own money and will order whatever I want.

First of all, it's 2014. If there is anything a woman shouldn't do on a first date then the same would apply for men. What's good for the goose is goose for the gander. We (women) make our own money now. There is no reason we should expect the men to be the ones to do the asking out all the time. If we expect equal pay and…

Yes it is an addiction. Your body will actually go though withdraws after you stop "using." I usually get headaches and fatigue for the first few days if I go cold turkey. It's easier to ween myself off when I'm using MFP. "Researchers say that sugar and the taste of sweet is said to stimulate the brain by activating beta…

Update: Here is the response I got "Thank you very much for contacting us here at The Cheesecake Factory Restaurants. We are presently working towards publishing nutritional information on all of our menu items, and hope to be able to offer this information to our guests online and in our restaurants soon. In the meantime,…

That's what I'm thinking. It wouldn't surprise me either.

Sorry here is the source: http://www.cheesecakefactorynutrition.com/restaurant-nutrition-chart.php? I just contacted them about this maybe I'll get a reply.
