I have been a strict vegetarian for 18 years, and lean mostly vegan. I just got the Oh She Glows cookbook and LOVE IT. She has a blog by the same name and while I found that to be ok, I love the book. I just took out VB6 by Mark Bittman from the library and it's loaded with great recipes as well. I love taking out vegan…

I was part of a diet bet with some friends a few months ago. The motivation was great actually - you definitely don't want to lose that money and you could even stand to win some. However, I don't think that 4% was realistic or healthy for me. I needed to lose 5.4 pounds to win, and I lost 4.4 pounds. On a normal month,…

Thank you! I have been sharing this with all of my friends as well.

Bump to try!

Bump, thanks for the links.

I have heard that the Brazil Butt Lift program works wonders but I haven't tried it to verify myself!

When I was doing P90X, I used this website to calculate calories burned: http://p90xcalories.com/

Thanks, I think this is very well written!

Saving...thanks!

Tosca Reno also has a great Clean Eating Vegetarian Cookbook - I was able to take it out of the library to check it out and loved it so much I bought it.

You will need several different weights, and probably increase as you go. People like the weights that have several weight increments in one (I can't remember what they are called) so they take up less space and you have more options with weight. P90X is a fantastic program, and it will help you achieve the goals that you…

I was also going to suggest making your own granola - I was stuck on Kashi Go Lean and love it, but wanted to find an alternative that had less sugar. I made my own granola in a few minutes, and I don't think I will ever go back to boxed!

Love Broccoli, thanks for the recipes!

Looks great!

These all look amazing and I would love a blog with the recipes too - as a vegetarian, these look delicious and creative, and I would love to know more about them!

This is a great thread, thank you!

Welcome! I only joined here about two and half weeks ago as well, and so far, I love it. I think the best trick is to meal plan! If you bring enough snacks (good options) that you know will keep you full throughout the day, you won't be caught needing to snack on something that is not as good for you. Also, you will have a…

Can't wait to try all of these and even some new variations!

These look delicious but I would have to freeze the extras so I didn't just eat the whole tray!

These look delicious - a must try!

I put them in my oatmeal and and when I have yogurt. I like that they have so many great properties, and the extra little crunch that they add to the yogurt. I don't eat them all the time, but I enjoy them when I do.

Thanks, these are very helpful!
