My fiance and I met once...and no sparks flew. Then, a year or two later we met again, and immediately clicked. I flirted with him, he joked back, but didn't really flirt. It turned out he was taken. It was an awful relationship, and he was waiting to leave her until his grandmother passed (he thought his grandmother…

Fantastic work! You're inspiring!

I usually just toss those into my blender and go, but I've got a pretty powerful blender. What I'd recommend if your blender can't quite handle it is putting those through your juicer, and then tossing the pulp and juice into your blender to finish the job. I've taken to doing smoothies with a couple handfuls of kale, a…

I don't juice a lot anymore, due to getting all the sugar and not much of the fiber. I'm more inclined towards smoothies full of all sorts of fun stuff. Heck, sometimes I roughly peel an orange, a grapefruit, and chunk up some pineapple and just blend that up. But, probably my favorite juice of all time was 2 apples and a…

Please please please, pay attention to your cholesterol. My brother was a long term vegan, and after a diagnosis with Celiac's, he started including dairy and eggs again. Talking to his coworkers and fiance, he ate A LOT of cheese. At 45, at one of his checkups, he was warned that his cholesterol was high, and he needed to…

Good luck! Feel free to add me for your own personal cheering section. Personally I've found that while I have to push a little bit to meet my protein requirements (I shoot for 20% of my calories from protein every day), it really isn't all that hard. I work beans, seitan (homemade isn't that hard, freezes well, and can be…

I spent my weekend happy because I fit into the very first bodice I bought 10.5 years ago just like it fit back then. I shrank out of it about 8 years ago, and then grew way past it looking good, or even fitting in the end. Not a flexible boned bodice or plastic either, steel bones, heavy brocade with canvas backing. See,…

Talk with them to find out if there is a time of day that they're not around, come up with a schedule that works for both of you.

I run around my house, uphills and down, and I try to figure out my route so I'm not stuck going up one of the STEEP hills while trying to run. No really, they're steep. Once I get to the LONG runs, I'll just walk them, at least in the start. I live in the middle of the country, so my blocks are 2-3.5 miles around. If my…

two slightly different versions of the same recipe, i really enjoyed both: both are general tso's. http://vegweb.com/index.php?topic=8769.0 http://www.food.com/recipe/tofu-general-tsos-143085 i've also found spicy orange beef recipes and remade the sauce for those, and it was fantastic. sadly, i don't seem to have any…

Go you! I did the same thing, was at my in-laws and got up and out and ran around their neighborhood. It was actually a really nice change of pace to see a different area. AND this morning when I got up it was raining, so I ran at lunch time instead!

Finally back here on time fora weigh-in! 189.6 here. First time under 190 in eons! (Like...5-6 years?) AND I got called skinny twice this weekend! I mean, I'm totally not, I'm just squeezing into a size 12, but ha!

Great job!

193.2.

My understanding is actually that protein = hard poop, fiber = loose. I'm a vegan and everything was working great until I started upping my protein. I've added protein powder to my shakes in the morning, and make sure to get about 20-25% of my calories from protein. I was still pretty high fiber, but things just...slowed…

Thanks Rach! Maybe late, but still mega-appreciated!

GO YOU!

I've wanted a Vita-mix for about 10 years, no joke. I finally got one this year for Christmas. I simply love it. I make smoothies in it that have the texture of milkshakes, without batting an eye. I make soup in it, and it is smooth like nothing I have ever gotten with a stick blender or another regular blender. It is…

Good for you!

i hated onions, mushrooms, and peppers as a kid. raw, cooked, whatever. hated them. i'd scoop the filling out of my mom's stuffed peppers, and the only mushrooms i'd eat were pickled. fast forward to now, onions and mushrooms are favorites, i go through about 2-3 lbs of onions a week (mostly cooked, some raw), mushrooms…

Peachy is right, shin splints have a plethora of causes, but one of the most common is wearing the wrong shoes, with overuse being right behind. I started a few weeks ago in a pair of 15 year old sneakers. They saw a lot of use, and then none, and then a lot, and then none (thusly, my needing to lose 80+ lbs when I started…

Don't worry Rach! Your work is much appreciated!

Got my new running shoes this weekend, so I got back to c25k. My goal this week is to get out jogging twice more this week and walking every day that it isn't raining outside of that. That, and I'm switching over to weights this week from just videos for my strength workout, I've missed them! Goal is to lift at least 3…

194.4 for me! First time under 195 in about 4 years!

HOLY CRAP! Fantastic job!

One grandmother died before I was born, the other when I was eight. On the other hand, my fiance's grandmother always liked to see me dressed up to go out with her grandson, loved my "hooker boots", and loved the way I made her coffee, thusly cries of "b!tch, where's my coffee?!" were common from her room. My mother, at…

By the way, my brother is a former vegan. He went vegan when he was about 23 for religious reasons, and stayed that way until he was diagnosed with Celiac's around 5 years ago, at 40. He found his diet too restrictive at that point, so he added back in dairy and eggs. He overloaded on cheese. He has been in the army or…

The biggest trap I fell in to was "if it isn't an animal product, it is healthy." Even with that attitude, I still lost 20 pounds without trying. I eventually plateaued and had to really start looking at what I was eating. Hello MFP! Personally, I make sure I include protein at every meal. As a meat eater, you have to work…
