I would love to join. I'm definitely in need of motivation.

First time trying this challenge. Aiming for 60 miles this month.

AriesGrl - 10 (can I give extra for being aries?)

Set up O'Reilly as the bait and you've got nothing to worry. River Tam could take care of the zombies by herself, but with Batman added in, you're golden.

Nancy Botwin, Kim Kardashian, and Sephiroth. I don't know anything about Botwin, but once Sephiroth and I throw Kardashian to the zombies as a distraction, we'll be fine.

LMAO :laugh:

I've loved pretty much all of the recipes in the book, 'Vegan Slow Cooker'. My favorites are the lentil and spit pea soup and the creamy potato soup.

OMG! That sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing. And you're absolutely right to delete people who criticize or don't support you. I keep my diary open to friends, but that's because they are primarily 'real life' friends and they help me to figure out what helps (I'm trying to lose weight, but have a long history of…

I use the Fitbit and find it to be a fabulous help. I find it gives a more accurate picture of my overall calories (in and out), and it allows me to monitor steps taken, how well I'm sleeping, and my vitals (BP, heart rate). The visuals provided on the site give a good picture of my progress and it's easier to determine…

Brilliant!!

I'm 5'4" and my goal (for starters) is 140lbs.

Not an odd question at all. I'm vegan for health reasons, and before, rarely ate meat because I didn't like how I felt afterwards. But, I liked the taste of some meat dishes, so I occasionally eat vegetarian-meat versions, like seitan. I also like cheese a lot, so I eat vegan cheeses.

I've been vegan for almost a year now, and can't imagine going back to meat or dairy. That said, I also made this choice for personal reasons and don't particularly care if others are vegan or not. When I'm asked about it (politely), I answer and have been happy to cook vegan meals for friends when they ask. But I have…

I work from home as well (mostly). You're right that having the kitchen so close can be a problem. But I'm trying to turn it into more of a health advantage by taking short exercise breaks during the day. At least so far....

Firefly/Serenity fan fiction? You've got my vote.

Hmm. Am I a geek? Am I a nerd? *I'm a gamer *I have walls full of books *I've been a sci-fi/fantasy addict for as long as I can remember, and am a regular member of a sci-fi/fantasy group *I'm still pissed Firefly was cancelled *I'm also a huge anime fan *I'm a word-nut, technical writer *I've practically memorized the…

Hi, I've been vegan for almost a year now. I've lost weight, but have only just joined this site. I was concerned about getting enough protein when I went vegan, but find it hasn't been as difficult as I thought it would be. There are a lot of vegan protein options, and I'd say the best bet is to look at a list and try…

I commend you, lovelysummerb, and can really only echo what others here have said. Keep eating and surround yourself with true friends; those who will support you rather than try to tear you down. Be proud of yourself for the steps you're taking to a healthier, longer life.

Exactly!
