It's a process to eat an all based plant diet. It's okay to eat things that are easy then start cooking. I like making a tofu scramble. (tiny bit of miso paste/curry spice/frozen spinach/tofu/tahini/tomato/garlic/onions/Wesson oil/nutritional yeast for the one I made myself today...yum!) Many vegan soups are available…

good for you! YAY! :smokin: YOU ARE SMOKIN!

Warning...random thought... I just had this thought... When I met my beloved, it was through okcupid (I have been with him for 1 year and half). I tried other online dating profiles. I noticed since I was on them a lot, that the ones you paid money for did not seem to have all the feature the FREE ones like plenty of fish…

I've had dermasanding and undermininig (needle used to un-criss-cros) to deal with my severe acne scars. Maybe I should have just washed more? Or done sit-ups? That is tantamount to what some people seem to be saying on here: "loose excess skin by doing crunches you lazy sod".** That is a very insensitive statement. (BTW,…

I had done WW off and on since I was 9 years old to beginning this year (I am 44 right now). I have seen it change. I once lost 30 lbs. on it (the most I ever did on WW) back in 2004. The online thing helped me but I kept plateauing and it was kind of complicated. I am much more hopeful with MFP. I do my own version of Dr.…

you are another hero from MFP for me to be inspired by. Thank you for sharing your story.

Here are my 2 cent thoughts: What you are doing right: I see some fruits, meat subsistence (I like these since you save calories and get protein), some veggies. What you are doing wrong: Not filling in your meals. Not eating a lot of veggies, not eating a lot of fruits. Eating a lot of processed food that may not be…

You looked good before and now you look great!

I have lactose intolerance and only take in small amounts of milk, learning to live without it is fairly easy. I like soy milk the best. I eat a lot of soy cheeses too. Not only am I am able to digest it better, but my sinus issues got better. My nephew is allergic to milk so it may be genetic for me. Tesco carries soy…

What an inspiring story! Good for you to deal with the emotions that drive you and overcome. I wanted to give you a hug after I read that.

I suffer from PCOS and tend to feel like crap if I exist on too many refine carbs. I follow Dr. Fuhrman's plan, "Eat to Live". It basically says eat 1 lbs of raw/cooked veggies per day, at least 4 fruits a day and try to fill up on legumes. Nuts can be used 1 oz. amounts. I do have oats in the morning and I have no salt…

listen to Nickelback. :mad:

my blood pressure meds did that. I have to take a water pill now.

dawten , you look like a Norma Jean version of Marilyn Monroe. :smile:

I didn't start losing every week until I starting eating veggies, fruits and severely cut down on carbs like rice/white bread/potatoes.

Kill it. kill it with fire.

It isn't like that with all men. It is true most men notice pretty women but the difference between a mature and immature man is how he deals with it. My current so goes out of his way to respect me...at one party, the poor lad was trying not to look when some young half dressed hot ladies were around him. It touched me…

I've been going over my daily allotment most days. I lost 2.5 lbs. Lest week. I used to starve myself to lose weight but not anymore.

soy milk half gal for $3.00 frozen veggies 1 bag 1.30 got tons of frozen veggies (even spinach for my tofu scramble) huge can of decaf beans 15.00 tofu 19 oz. for 1.69 each And on and on. MAN OH MAN I wuv TJs! :heart:

welcome aboard! :drinker:

If you eat a lbs of cooked veggies/raw veggies and 4 pieces/cups of fruit a day, you will be doing what I am doing (Dr. Fuhrman's plan). I have oats in the morning with fruit and nuts, plus some margarine and agave syrup. I had a cooked apple on mine this morning (zapped by the microwave since I am lazy) with that. Was…

I average over 2100 calories a day. I am fairly overweight and have 115 lbs more to go to my goal weight. The weird thing is, I have gained weight eating less calories AND exercising 1 hour a day (I used to have online logs at WW Online to prove it). I just can't eat white bread all day like I used to and processed food.…

Like many have said on here, more of what I am already doing now. Since I have PCOS and am insulin resistant, I find eating unprocessed, low density in calories foods (fruits/veggies) in great quantities, nuts in moderation and not making a habit of high density calories food, makes weight loss much, much easier for me. I…

I must go there TODAY...:heart:

I totally relate. I recently didn't go to my latest highschool reunion get-together because of my weight-gain. I should have gone and taken before pictures. It's hard when I hear back things like people I used to go to church with saying "Melissa looks like she lost some weight!" coming to me through the grapevine since I…

Bump dee dee bump

I had a double chin as a child that went away after my verbite was fixed with bracesMycn stood out more. If you have an overbite, something. To think about.

I find a decaf coffee with a little agave syrup and soy milk is a real true, especially with some cocoa powder. That helps me from snacking. I also eat soy hot dogs (lightly fried, using only pam spray or a tiny amount of olive oil) in a whole wheat bun. If I chop up tomato or bell pepper, even better. I may put a light…

I know that grinding walnuts in a blender (like my 20$ one)...no bueno. A lot of stop/starting. I may have to break down and by a food processor (another gadget to cram into a tight kitchen space). I think though bananas and frozen fruit should be fine and go down, especially with some milk (or milk alternatives I like soy…

I love mullets. MacGyver. Swoon. I love men with pale hair, blue eyes and ruddy skin that flushes easy. And I love them about 6 feet tall. I like a big-boned guy as I am big-boned (I need to literally buy extra-large for ladies' hats & watches). My current sweetie fits the description. except he refuses to grow a mullet.…
