PEOPLE!! Take it to the debate forum. Stop clogging up the OP question with your opinions. There are many reasons for people choosing veganism. OP. As others have said. More beans and lentils. Check out this link. It may help :) http://www.onegreenplanet.org/natural-health/vegan-sources-of-protein/

I've made quite a few from the Minimalist baker and It doesn't taste like chicken. Really good stuff with common ingredients. http://minimalistbaker.com/quinoa-taco-meat/ http://minimalistbaker.com/my-favorite-vegan-pizza/ http://minimalistbaker.com/creamy-vegan-garlic-pasta-with-roasted-tomatoes/…

Lime Cilantro Chicken is by far my favorite. 2x chicken breasts juice from 1/2 lime 1 cup salsa 1 tsp chili powder (or taco powder) 2 tsp chopped cilantro high for 4 hrs or low for 8 hrs. Once the chicken is done, shred it in the slow cooker and mix it up with the sauce. Makes 6 servings of shredded meat, put it in tacos,…

32H here, if it hasn't been mentioned already, Amazon marketplace is pretty affordable. Sometimes you can even get free shipping :)

I had to look this up, I've never heard of it. Actually my first thought was it's a shake weight in wii board form lol. But seriously, no. The reviews touch on good points All of these things you can do without spending money on this device ;) http://supplementpolice.com/power-fit/

Weird, I was literally just thinking about making a topic from the other perspective. My eyebrows have been the same size and thickness for years, then since being hypo I've had to start plucking them again? My eyelashes too, I used to have these tiny little thin eyelashes and now there super thick and long. Also my…

Geez, and here I was wishing they would stop spamming them to me. @ehubbard6 I'll send you mine if you want

DH and I were on vaca visiting my parents across country. We were at the beach and of course I was wearing a shirt over (at 300+ pounds it's hard to find a bathing suit that's complimentary) and I noticed my mom in her swimsuit and she looked in her suit and panicked a bit. She eats WAY less than I do (did) and goes to her…

I think it would be different for everyone but a headache is usually the first clue for me.

I can't speak for the others, but I had 'phantom pains' where my gallbladder was for several months after. Hopefully yours goes a bit smoother ;)

I started in 2011. I'm 39lbs away from my goal (GW 130, SW 310(ish)) It may seem like a long time, but after losing so much, I would maintain for a few months, then start my deficit again, lose so much again, then maintain. I logged daily for the first 100lbs, then started changing my habits, and making better choices.…

SW 310 Size 22W CW 170 Size 10 My goal is 130, but I'm not sure what size i'll be. I'm a true hourglass, so I'll likely probably end up at a size 7(ish)

The first part is not exactly truthful. The hospital orders in the radiation. It's a pill made of I-131. Depending on the dosage of I-131 it is possible to kill off your entire thyroid. Talk to your specialist, you can request smaller doses. As I said, I've been for radiation twice and my thyroid still functions.…

Usually research what I'm going to have before I go. Although if it's a spontaneous thing, I follow healthy plate, 1/2 plate veg, 1/4 grains, 1/4 meat and take the rest to go. (Also if the plates are abnormally large, use the inner ring ;) )

I know we should be happy with what we have but I'm totally jealous. Mine also don't change with weight loss, but I'm the opposite, I've got ample chest. At least my bra size existed at Wal-Mart when I was heavy (46DD) I have to special order mine now. (32F) I'm waiting until I hit my goal, then going to request a…

I had severe graves. I wanted the surgery but ended up with radiation twice. I was leaning towards surgery only because I was scared to death of the radiation. (Swallowing an iodine pill did not seem like the best action for my health) but honestly, i'm glad i went this way. Few reasons specifically 1) Shorter recovery and…

Well said. This was going to be my response. I did not have weight loss surgery but I know it's not a magic trick that makes you instantly thinner. You still have to diet and exercise. Honestly I would put 'Braggy Brenda' on ignore and if that's not possible then change the subject when she brings it up. But don't judge…

Literally the opposite of this is what irks me. Anytime we're out for supper with the family, my MIL (who lost her motivation in her own weight loss) consistently comments throughout the entire meal about how the food were eating isn't healthy and how will I ever survive? Also that I should have brought my own meal so I…

Omg, I can soo relate to this, I tried to explain to my husband why I stopped playing GW2, I got stuck, and couldn't continue without help. I'd rather quit than use LFG. I got invited to the same guild my husband is in, just because of association. I had to leave when they gave me a hard time about not being on TS. But to…

Everyone looks so great. So much happier in their after pics. 310lbs 240lbs 172lbs I'm not completely finished yet. still 42lbs left to go.

Maybe I eat less of those items, but I'm pretty sure I would die if I cut them out completely. #Bread4Lyfe

Sw 310 (pre mfp) Gw 130 Cw 172 I only recently started receiving comments from people. I think they started around 190 lbs. Although my MIL noticed right away, makes me sad because I think she is jealous of my loss :| she won't stop bringing it up and making off-hand comments.

Yes, of course. My favourite recipe http://www.bigoven.com/recipe/bread-machine-french-bread/157898 Mmmm homemade french bread...

This was going to be my answer as well. "I don't want too" is a valid excuse. B)

1. How small measured out portions actually are 2. Loose skin hangs everywhere (Finger tips, under-arms, knees, ankles, eye lids, wrists, etc) 3. 'Rolls' don't just magically disappear, they lose mass, get squishy and shrink down (huge eye opener for me!) 4. Losing weight can shrink your shoe size (Had no clue my feet were…

Roughly, 310lbs to 195lbs. Currently 180lbs. 50 more to go. B)

lol dammit, why don't I have a like button. This looks more like a delicious calorie list.

If anyone is wondering. Skip the dose. Was told not to take it in the morning, and I was on so many other meds after the surgery, my absorption would have limited

Ok, let's get real here...Where are you finding crunch berry cereal!? :o

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/twinkles2121/view/turkey-spinach-lasanga-680610 I posted this one a while back, but it's still one of DH's favs. Ground turkey is so versatile, it's only as bland as you allow it to be.
