Silken tofu when blended on high speed turns into a mousse like texture. Add cocoa and a little instant coffee--or blend with vanilla vegan pudding! With the base you can do pretty much anything--fruit etc. Also, edamame is great for snacks-microwave and sprinkle on garlic powder or salt and pull them out of the pod with…

Check out myplate.gov--it will give proper portion for BALANCED NUTRITION! Very important. I'm 51 and should have 1.5 cups of fruit a day. I always choose fresh.

That's fabulous!

Fantastic!

About 8 weeks ago, I was eating a Sloppy Joe, a favorite and over-thought things and realized I was eating the flesh of a dead animal. I loved meat, I loved cooking with meat but here I am! I'm a love of animals so on one side, I'm surprised this didn't happen sooner but I loved my beef!! I'm also surprised it's not…

I agree you should count the weekend calories. I tend to take a longer walk, clean while dancing (or vice versa!) so I can have room for error. If my nutrition is balanced I don't really feel the need to eat more though I do still have my ice cream now and again!

First--you're darling and hysterical! Second--some strangeness overcame me 8 weeks ago. I was minding my own business eating a sloppy joe (a favorite) when I over-thought things and realized I was eating the flesh of a dead animal. Haven't had any a bite since. I can still make the best ribs in town and have NO idea what…

I started noticing changes at about the same-5 lbs. Keep up the goodness!!

Wishing you every happiness today and a healthy future! Congratulations!!

Wonderful!!

Amen, Brother!

AGREE!!

Love it!!

FAN.TASTIC!

That's how it's done!! Good thinking and reading posts matters!!

A! to inspire and be inspired!

I don't have a place to put my book when I read--my belly is gone!

Another turn on the portabella mushrooms--remove stem and gills-drizzle olive oil or balsamic vinegar and then place upside down to marinate. Dice and saute green and red peppers, onions, garlic and add diced stems at the end. Fill the mushrooms and heat under a broiler or on the grill. You can add cheese if you're not…

Our little terrier mix is Mr. Peabody, St. Bernard/Lab mix is Dreyfus, Husky/Lab mix is ZuZu Petals, Husky is Anouska, and our Gorden Setter who has passed away was Dudley. We lean toward cartoon characters with some dogs and most of our cats. We have friends with Bichons named Avalanche and Flurry. My niece names her pets…

5lbs in 3 weeks is a perfectly healthy rate of weight loss! Not drinking soda! Excellent, too! I'm 5'4 and at 1450 per day with at least 20 mins of walking or dancing most every day and the weight is coming off. No miracles here though--slow and steady wins the race. Focus on balanced nutrition and fitness. Check out…

I agree with those who are encouraging balanced nutrition. You're body is telling you (dizziness) it needs something. Without seeing your diary it's hard to say-- but fiber is also needed--sounds like you have enough through veggies but you'll also need grains. Be sure to check with your Dr. also--it could be a sugar issue…

Feel free to add me! We're all in this together!

I feel healthy! for the first time in over 10 years I have energy!!

Zowee!! You're doing such a great job and thanks for the inspiration!

You're doing amazing things for your health! Congratulations!!

Fantastic!!

You're an inspiration! I'm hoping my BP is weight related and not genetic--Congratulations!!
