Very recent vegan... 2 weeks to be precise. I wasn't vegetarian before this change... I'm an all or nothing kind of gal. The food portion is going soooo well. I love it! The life style portion is a bigger challenge, but it'll come. I'd love more friends on my vegan list.

I'm in! I need more friends to keep me motivated. I had logged in for 960 days up until last month and decided to take some time off to regroup (and gain 5 pounds back... on top of the 10 I had already gained in a year). I'm back and ready to roll!

No, that's not how it works. You will likely notice a change; being active helps to reduce body fat, unless you're eating in excess. You will see some change because you're using different muscles than just sitting around. OR, if you want to reduce fat for your muscles to really show, eat less.

You know those little starving kids in Africa with the big pot bellies? It's probably analogous to that. They are under and malnourished. They don't have enough protein, fat and other nutrients in their diet due to eating simple carbs, and very little of them, which causes bloating of the belly (fact!). This guy eats only…

I find it interesting that you refuse to believe the "eat more to weigh less" rule, when you said yourself that you found you lost when you ate more… Personal truths...

Passion Pit - Lots of great peppy stuff there. Haim - if you like 70's rock vibe.

Lift weights. That is how you will tone up. Cardio will keep you slim, lifting will get you the muscle tone you desire. As for counting… do it. And make sure you eat a lot of protein while you're at it.

I agree with not bothering to log it. Just move on, and start new today.

Now YOU'VE got the attitude of the people you complain about.

I love being entertained at the gym! That's my kind of gym day!

listen, you have 2 choices 1) sit on your *kitten* and lose weight by eating 1200 calories a day. Get slim, but still a bit flabby. Probably be pretty tired. Look good in clothes, but not naked. or 2) you can eat 1800 calories, burn 600 by moving your body like we were built to do! get confidence, feel energized, build…

I started to fear this yesterday… NO HIBERNATION! NOOOOOOO!

The weight doesn't "go", it gets used. The old adage, "calories in vs. calories out", explains it all. If you eat in excess, your body stores the excess as fat (it gets converted to fat through different bodily functions). When you eat at a deficit, your body is burning the food/energy you consume throughout the day, plus…

Margarine or butter, jam, hummus, pizza sauce (I love pizza bagels… throw some cheese on top, if that will work for you), avocado, tomato, cucumber. I hope you find a yummy solution that works for you, that you truly enjoy eating :smile:

Difference between parent and child… Adult who is rational, child who is learning and impressionable. Do not parent by shaming. Just say "no" to two donuts if you're they one buying them. OR, don't let junk food be an option. End of debate.

I wanted a trampoline SO BAD! I saved up all my birthday money, and had enough to buy it before tax… my mom flat out refused to give me the tax for it, because I'm sure she didn't want me to have it. Never did get that tramp… to this day i LOVE to TRAMP!!! I tramp any chance I get.

Look at it in the grocery stores and say "mmmmm...." Can't have it in my house because I'll eat the whole tub with a spoon in about 2 days... True story...

sweet pea!!!

Ick!!! Agreed!!! One thing to ask a yes or no question, another pony to go into specifics…

I only know 1 quote, and as such, it's clearly the best: "Bring out your dead…!"

My husband couldn't give 2 craps about what I do at the gym, or on my own, or any kind of fitness accomplishment. He doesn't understand. He'll eat healthy food that I cook, but then complain that there isn't any junk in the house, and that he has to get off his butt to the junk food he wants. Personally, I couldn't give 2…

good lord! it sounds like he thinks you did something… or he's making it seem like you did something. I'm certainly not saying you did do something. This is awful! Stay strong, do what you need to do to make sure things are as stable as they can be for you and your kids right now.

you said you don't have much time, so maybe with the time you do have to eat, make sure you have more calorie dense, nutritious meals in a healthy portion… don't just snack on a meal, actually eat it and enjoy the food you're eating. Eat healthy fats (avocado, olive oils, nut butters). Eat a moderate amount of dairy…

Ugggh! He has NO problem farting in front of me, and it has bothered me from day one. Not the farting per se, more so the frequency and sound of them. I don't fart in front of him, only out of principle. I have told him time and time again that there is no need to be farting like that in front of me, but he insists that he…

This! Plus, it is a little sad people are so excited about not being the fattest country, meanwhile people in the fattest countries are suffering from malnourishment. That is not necessarily the #1 cause for obesity in the US. Not to mention, Mexico isn't exactly considered developed, it is developing. There is a…

To all the ladies willing to liberate their ta-ta's, hats off to you! I'm keeping mine on :ohwell:

Post-dated cheques are the best! I owed my SIL $750. She took the money out week by week, regardless of whether or not the time was ideal for us financially. It was only fair. It was fantastic because she got the money she was owed in a timely manner without asking. We managed to pay our debt fairly quickly. Now we're all…

Thank you!
