Congrats on the loss so far!

Thank you for providing the above link. It is quite helpful. :)

I have my 21 day fix package, but I haven't started yet (I plan on starting March 1st). I would like to be part of the group so I have some support from regular people doing it as well.

I have a doctor's appointment for it on the 28th. I hope the doctor can figure the migraines out if they aren't gone by then.

You are correct...I am in the U.S.

Once again, thank you everyone for your feedback.

So the peeing every two seconds doesn't stop?

I used to drink about 5 bottles of 20 oz regular coke or cherry coke per week. So it probably is the caffeine withdrawal. I didn't even connect that. Also, I had never heard of hyponatremia. Good information to know. Thank you everyone.

If someone intends to use a service like MFP for food tracking then they pretty much have to know how much food they are eating (i.e. by measuring in some way). If said person is prone to obsessive behavior and they are worried that they will develop an ED then maybe they shouldn't use this type of service. Think about it,…

I know what you mean about sometimes not being able to reach 1200 calories. There are some days (not all though) out of the week that I feel full at 800-900 calories. Those calories are from eating a ton of fruits and veggies (since they are calorie dense foods). Also, I seem to not be as hungry during the summer heat.

The recipe is a basic base also. You can switch it up based on your own personal taste. For example, sometimes I add garlic or more peppers, etc. I just kinda taste as I go.

I like doing a combination (using MFP and WW) because there are other stats that I like to see that are not on WW (such as sodium content). The WW meetings help me to stay more accountable.

People have the ability to have haters on either side (fat shaming and fit shaming). Also, it seems like a person's confidence level can dictate how others act towards them.

Being comfortable in a bikini again. Also, being able to buy new pants with lower sizes.

I make the following recipe all the time. It is really good! FYI - this recipe makes quite a lot, so plan on what you can eat it with (i.e., lots of salad, dip for veggies, etc.) before it goes bad. Lemon Tahini Dressing Using a Vitamix or equivalent blender, fill the blender to the top of the blades with: -1 cup brown…

I was vegetarian all of last year and vegan as January 1st of this year. Every once in awhile I slip and eat meat or cheese (mainly when I don't plan and have to do fast food for lunch). It doesn't happen often, but when it does I always feel so sick to my tummy. My body just isn't used to that kind of food anymore.…

Congrats on your progress!

I am absolutely addicted to zucchini!

Vegans hear that question so often you pretty much have to do this :tongue:

If there is a church, community, or family potluck I either eat before (so I can be good with the few options that may be available) or just make sure to take something I know that I can eat.

....And when you eat vegenaise with a spoon (just because you are craving it). I know it's weird, but sometimes I don't have something to put it on, but I still want some.

Purple carrots Purple peppers Purple potatoes Purple kolrabi Purple cabbage Anyway, I wouldn't eat anything (fruits, veggies, or anything else) that was purple or green.

I don't know why...in my mind green and purple veggies were just naturally gross. What can I say...I am a weirdo. I love purple grapes now (even more so than green grapes).

I used to be very against the majority of vegetables (specifically anything green or purple). Now that I am vegan that is not really an option. I try vegetables now that I always assumed I hated and most of them I love. I am still not a fan of asparagus. I honestly think that as I have gotten older my tastebuds have…

I missed both my 5 and 10 year reunions. I figure that I already talk to the people that I still want to talk to.

I wish you luck with your journey!

Mine is now open to friends. Feel free to add me. This will help motivate me to eat better.

Good to know. I will look into Freelee's chart. Thank you for the advice!

Good luck with your quest towards veganism.
