Same. I could update them on the web but it won't let my sync in tbe app.

I don't count. I am vegan and couldn't lose weight. Then I went WFPB (whole food plant based). Once I cut out the oil and processed food, the weight started dropping off. And I get to eat nuts and avocados every dday.

I am vegan - WFPB No Oil.

It depends on how you go plant based. Oreos are vegan. Swedish fish are vegan. There are plenty of processed foods that are vegan. If you go WFPB then you can relax on the logging. Whole food pant based means no added sugar, oil, nop processed food.

I am vegan and eat a whole food plant based diet but when I was transitioning, I used Gardein products when I needed a "meat". Slowly use them less and add veggies in their place.

I had a DVT in my right leg from calf to pelvis 7 years ago. This July I had DVTs in both legs, my abdomen, and massive clots in my lungs. Spent some time in the ICU. I am a Coumadin lifer. I am vegan and my numbers stay consistent. Just eat a steady level of vitamin K. If you have something that has a high amount of…

There are a ton of good groups on Facebook. Some are pretty strict but Trying Vegan has some great tips for those starting out and it understanding. I also highly recommend cleanfooddirtygirl.com. Also look to see if you have any meetup groups close.

When I first went vegan I tracked my nutrients in cron-o-meter. Depending on your current weight, 83g seems high. We really do not need that much protein.

Vega makes a non-flavored protein powder.

I like the So Delicious brand. They also make amzing non-dairy ice cream too.

My woe actually calls for a night where you eat things that spikes your insulin to reset your hormones. I gain around 4 pounds the next day but it comes off within 3 days. Seven days later I am usually down another 2 or 3. My next planned night is Saturday and I am already down another 1.2 from last week. I also do not…

I did the 4% one but will not do it again. Way too easy for someone to cheat. It is very easy to conceal a 5 lb weight in your start photo.

He looks like a grown up Eddie Munster.

When my doctor told me I needed to reduce my exercise I thought she was nuts too. But it helped. I feel so much better and the numbers on the scale started going down. I am glad you are open to trying to ease up a bit and see what happens. :smile:

I was a group fitness instructor for 10 years and started gaining weight. Long story short, I was exercising too much because it started raising my cortisol. Once that happens, the more you exercise, the more your cortisol raises, the more weight you gain, I no longer teach and only exercise for myself. Guess what? The…

I had a massive blood clot in one leg. That leg has been an inch bigger than the other leg. At least yours are both the same size. :-)

Not all deficits work for everyone. I know I could never do IIFYM. I agree with the PP that suggested you go back to what worked before.

I have my own little Stevia plant. Love it!!

I was going to start tomorrow, but I'll start tonight so we can do this together.

I am starting level 1 tomorrow. I am also training fo rmy first 5k Memorial day weekend so tonight is a running day. Since I have to be at work at 6:30 am, I will be doing this after work. I gained a ton of weight after I developed a massive blood clot in my leg. Actually, it grew all the way from my calf to my pelvis. The…
