Edamame is a great way to add fiber to your diet. You can buy it frozen or the roasted kind. It also contains a nice amount of protein.

For a healthy snack that will feel like a cheat: Slice up an apple Spread PB thinly on top Sprinkle with what you like. Some ideas: chopped walnuts or almonds, dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut.

You are an inspiration. You should be VERY proud of yourself!!! :flowerforyou: Keep on truckin' girl!

60-80 net carbs a day would be sufficient to help with weight loss, per my doctor. Maybe you are eating TOO low carb?

My bad! I was thinking of pop tarts in general :)

Why would anyone think these products are vegan? Pop tarts aren't even vegetarian.

Exactly this!! I think a woman should embrace the changes in her body due to carrying her baby.

I've had the same experience. Carpets cause the scale to get off balance. It's best to weigh on a smooth flat surface.

And mushrooms! 1 cup for 24 calories and 8 grams of protein. I saute them in olive oil spray and add them to everything.

I just asked my doctor about it today. She is a vegetarian like me. She said there is nothing wrong with eating soy. She even said TVP isn't bad for you. I eat soy everyday and I don't worry about it. I figure there are worse things I could eat :happy:

Some vegetarian soy products are better than others. You can buy organic non GMO tofu. You can do Atkin's if you are vegetarian but it will be really tough. I tried it and found that a healthy vegetarian diet that includes whole grains is better. Just my own experience though :wink:

Tastefully Simple - Rustic Herb Seasoning, 0.5 tsp- or other Italian seasoning you like (this one contains some salt) Spaghetti - Whole-wheat, cooked, 1 cup Muir Glen Organic - Tomato Paste, 2 TBS Gardein - Meatless Meatballs, 2 meatballs Saute in olive oil spray: White - Mushrooms Sliced, 1 cup Generic White Onion - Raw,…

AMEN

I have been a lacto-ovo-vegetarian for 14 years. I eat the things already mentioned plus whole grain pasta also adds protein to your diet. Feel free to request me as a friend, my diary is open to friends.

Eggs are vegetarian, if you are a ovo-vegetarian or lacto-ovo.

Thank you for all of your responses. If there is anyone I missed who would like to be friends please send me a request. I am using these 6 months to work through my issues. I have a problem with impulse control. My doctor says surgery is the best option for someone like me to prevent regain.

It truly is a personal choice and I am prepared to ignore negativity :)

Next Friday is so soon! I will definitely message you. Thx!

I'm happy I have so many responses to my post, but I'm sorry so many people struggle with the same issue! I've decided to focus on eating healthy foods and exercising, not worrying so much about logginh and weight loss for now.

I found your post helpful - thank you :) I think I need to stop and appreciate the little things.

If anyone who posted on here would like to be friends that would be great! :)

Thank you all for your input. It sounds like most of you use routine and exercise to get you through. I did exercise last night and thought it helped, but then earlier today I went right back into my slump. Maybe exercising again tonight will help :)

I have been vegetarian for 14 years, for ethical reasons. I have many favorite meals! Hummus wraps, tofu stir fry, etc.

I will try these things, thanks!

Thanks again everyone, I am definitely going to try some of these things out!

Thanks for the advice and encouragement! I think I will begin the body weight training asap!

Wow, that is horrible. Maybe you should point out something about her.

I am so happy I don't have a MIL!

I would smack the person who said this!
