I've been a vegetarian for about 9 years. I dabble in veganism because i'm allergic to dairy but I still eat cheese sometimes anyway lol. I don't miss meat at all, I love vegetables more than anything. Even when I ate meat I ate processed meat like chicken fingers, sausage, scrapple, or corn dogs ... all slathered in…

i lost weight when i started welbutrin.

I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for the things you have said here in this post, i just feel so much better to know that there are others going through the same thing and no one here is judging me for this. I appreciate the things everyone has said and I am glad that I made this post, even though it was…

yeah breakfast is my fav meal of the day too! I love breakfast foods

I am a big peanut butter fan, this is an excellent thread! I love natural peanut butter, Adams is very good, but i agree that making your very own is the best! My grocery store in montana had a place to make peanut butter and almond butter, I sure do miss it! Get the kind you have to stir, its the healthiest kind with no…

I haven't tried that one yet but it sounds good. And I love bananas too, I love whole wheat toast with a tbsp of peanut butter and topped with banana slices, its delicious!

Mm sounds good! I think I might have granola with skim milk and raspberries. I always feel like eating breakfast foods at every meal, soo good!

Think about exactly what you are doing when you are shopping at these fast food restaurants. Sometimes having a moral stand is exactly the kind of motivation we need to change our habits. When we buy fast food from places like McDonalds, we are "voting with our dollars" for everything that those chains represent: inhumane…

shake it off! I've been losing weight, even with days where I eat excess cake or the day I baked flourless peanut butter cookies and they were addicting and warm.. I had like 5. But I've been on this site for about 7 weeks and have lost 7-8 pounds regardless. Keep with it!

I really want to read the Kind Diet! I read Gorgeously Green diet book and it was sooo good! I get really excited when people start making good choices about the kinds of foods they put in their bodies and what the environmental impacts are. The eco-chick book is really good too, I have read that too. Green Living by renee…

I had that same number! I stopped counting. Instead, just try to avoid processed food with sugar in it (actually, avoid processed food altogether is nice but a pipe dream for most!). Bananas alone have like 11 grams. See if the other nutrients balance out the sugar in the food, as in fiber, vitamins, antioxidants, protein,…

they probably didn't fill it out for those days. Has to be food entered in it to read it!

Mine was public but I changed it lets see.. yesterday to lock and key. I was so embarassed with myself as of late, if you flip through the pages its the current "sweet fixation" of the day or few days. Like this weight watchers cake my mom made. And you know, I hardly go over my calories (yesterday I did.. whoops!) but I…

thanks for the sparkpeople site, this is going to save me a lot of hassle!

I should have done this! I have been eating these they are so hard to resist!

Made these tonight! Sooo good, thanks for the recipe! I ate three :blushing:

I stopped drinking and found it much easier to stick with my goals. I drink tea now when I hang out with my friends and we still have a super good time (they still drink, don't really give a crap that I'm not either). Alcohol doesn't make anything more fun, I don't care what other people may think. And really its a matter…

hmm. the ones that have 12 squares - normal size is what I call it, is 1.45 oz

I agree! I swear that stuff is addicting if you eat it often. But as soon as I stopped eating it, I stopped craving it, and thought it was even kind of gross, like you did. I would much rather eat real food now, its much more delicious! Fast food = boooo!

YAAY congrats! This just comes to show that you can do anything you put your mind to! Doesn't it make you feel so strong and wonderful that you have complete control over what you do with your body? And the best part is that after a while, you won't even have to think about it anymore, it will just be a habit, and you will…

I'm sure you are getting enough salt, as sodium is in basically everything that is processed, which most people eat a lot of. You can track it in your food diary, generally 1700-2500 mg is a good range to shoot for. Sodium causes you to retain water. If you are doing intense workouts where you sweat a LOT, eating more salt…

I did the exact same thing Kelynn, after getting closer to my goal weight I am feeling hungry all the time! It was stressing me out so bad I decided to lower my goal to 1/2 pound a week. That way, if I lost a whole pound, great, but if not, I am still meeting my goal. Its better to feel satisfied with your lifestyle than…

I weigh about 130 pounds now after losing a bunch of weight and gaining a lot of muscle from doing trailwork, running, and working out. But now I feel like I am always hungry operating at a 500 calorie a day deficit, I seriously never skip my workouts just so I can eat more because I feel so hungry all the time! It wasn't…

I would plan ahead and pack a lunch. Waking up 15 minutes earlier to make yourself a delicious salad (I love spinach salad with slice strawberries and sliced green apple, red peppers, mushrooms, cucumber, and annies lite raspberry vinaigrette with some feta cheese.. sooo unworldly good, you could even throw grilled chicken…

do you need a mixer (thats a food processor right? I'm assuming a blender wont work very well huh) to make these cookies?

the tofu noodles are actually really good. And really super low in calories.

oh boy this post! I used to love boxed mac and cheese too until I started making homemade version a few years ago, so so good. I made it for my youth crew at their graduation and for other pot luck type things. But the boxed kind has really lost its appeal, I can taste the processed-ness of it and it hardly even tastes…

1000 calories, holy wow. I think when I first started dieting I ate around that, and yeah I lost a little weight, but it was slow go, and I was basically completely sedentary and my diet was unhealthy and unbalanced. After upping my intake, upping my exercise, and being very consistent, keeping track of EVERYTHING I eat…

workout more the day of and day after, more than you were planning. vodka soda with lime has 100 calories, so does most light beers limit yourself to 2-3 and drink a glass of water in between, add a lemon no one will know or care its not a drink, keep track of every single thing you drink or eat, write it down if you have…

yeah I had a question about eating food later at night too. My schedule is so jam packed in the evenings sometimes I don't have time to eat dinner until like 9-9:30pm (i go to bed around 11:30-12:30). I still have plenty of calories left by this time but I get nervous about eating that late in the night when I mostly just…
