Hey there! 6 year vegan would love to interact with more plant centered people on here! I've been on and off MFP for years and recently back to focusing on getting back to shape. Too much sitting and comfort foods!

Nice to meet you all! I'm still here... just haven't been back to the message boards in a while. Feel free to add me! I'll be happy to help motivate!

I'm sitting in the same spot basically... My newest thing I'm trying is Intermittent fasting at 16:8 split and then making sure my first meal is low carb, but lean protein. Also drinking a lot of water and trying to make sure my meals are mostly whole foods and not processed. I've mostly worked on getting the majority of…

I've gone to several people's profiles and the add feature seems to have disappeared? I haven't checked the desktop site yet. I'm getting back motivated and would love to have some other people motivated also in my feed!

Sometimes I'm WFPB Sometimes I'm comfort foods! I started out trying to go full No oil but had to scale it back to just getting vegan. Going strong for 5 years now.

Hey vegan friend!

I actually am currently "leaning into" a Vegan Plant based lifestyle (about 2.5 weeks) and have gained weight. I am hoping that turns around soon but also have not committed to a exercise regime yet. I feel healthier, but have not lost weight.

I know some of them are able to work around dietary restrictions. I found a local that was AIP friendly as well as Vegan and Gluten Free.

Hahahaha, sometimes my taste buds get bored. I do reuse a lot of recipes but I'm always looking for something new. Sometimes I need some new flavor. I've tried all kinds of tricks to try to curb it. Occasionally I will do international weeks where I just try to hop around the globe on my meals. It's a problem.

This might be another option for sure.

You're the second to say the quality wasn't great, that's definitely something to take into consideration. I understand the packaging thing too. I love Trader Joe's but their packaging is almost all plastics which is frustrating.

What was different about Plated that you liked more?

Good to know, Thanks!

Not a prepared meal just one thought out already by a chef team. You still cook it and prepare it. You just receive the ingredients and recipe.

Exactly, Thanks!

Thanks!

Not Prepared meals just ingredients delivered with a recipe to follow.

I typically spend around $100-$125 a week for groceries for a 2 person household so $60-70 sounded about right. However if those meals won't extend a bit it would definitely increase my costs.

Yes, sorry I was speaking of a meal kit like Blue Apron, HelloFresh or Plated etc. I don't mind cooking but after putting together a meal plan for over a year my mind gets a little bored. Sometimes it's nice to have a good meal that's not something I'd have to think about. IE I can make Truffled Cremini Mushroom Chicken…

Me too! Good luck! You can do this!

Almost forgot to post the pic of today's Smoothie info

Wow! Congrats and way to go!

You guys look fantastic way to go!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^Both of those are the correct answer :) The most accurate is of course the HRM...

Awesome news! Great he's so supportive! You're a lucky gal!

Wowie!!! You're awesome!!!

Bump!!! I'm doing it now... Thanks for the motivations!!!

I know in the South... A lot of us call everyone... Sweetie, Baby, Honey, Babe, Hon... It's not flirtatious... it's just how it is...

I live in what's been Beer City USA for 4 years running (Asheville, NC this year we tied with Grand Rapids MI) I love all kinds of beers but typically stick to Porters or Ales. I love a good beer. I have recently had to cut back on that love though... There's so much to choose from around town and more popping up all the…

It was hard for me to see a difference in the beginning... Got a little frustrated... I did not do it straight through.. almost though... I only took like 3 days off randomly... And I was doing 5 lb weights.. Thanks a bunch!
