Finally taking control of my life and re-dedicating myself to getting healthier! I'd love to have other motivated people to help stay on track. Anyone is free to add me!

Hi everyone! My name is Brittney and I've just recently (I'm on day 19) started eating vegan. I have wanted to eat vegetarian since my food and nutrition class in high school visited a local slaughterhouse and saw first hand what the process looks like. I was never able to keep it up mostly because of my lack of willpower…

I've recently started eating vegan but not sure if I can keep it up. I've been having trouble getting enough calories a day without feeling like I'm over eating. I'm thinking of switching to vegetarian just so I can add eggs and cheese for added calories and proteins. I switched for ethical and health reasons any tips to…

Admittedly, the sweeping craze of gluten free is troubling because it makes people that truly have celiac disease look like they're people following a fad and less legitimate. But the OP was talking about orthorexia, which is the fixation on healthy foods and exercise to the point of being at serious risk of devolping…

I've very recently been eating strictly vegan (two weeks so far) for health and ethical reasons. Just like some people have said it can be easy just to eat a bunch of pasta and junk food and that is probably not going to get you where you want to be. I have had a fairly easy go of it but it's not the same for everyone.…

I've battled with binge eating for years. I thought I had it beat until I moved and then it's steadily gotten worse to the point where I'm back where I started. It's tough and it's worse when you work around food all the time like I do. I definitely could use a friend that understands the difficulty in trying to lose…

I would love to join! I moved in the past year and it's totally wrecked my progress. Basically, I'm back to square one, with at least 50 lbs to move. I'm terrible at motivating myself so I definitely need the accountability that this group offers. brittishchick

Aw, thanks, ladies! :flowerforyou: It's really hard at this time of year to get out there (work, cold, holidays, etc...) but I'm done making excuses for my inactivity! :happy:

I know what it's like with Thanksgiving and special events. They're my kryptonite. But, I've found the more I restrict my diet the more I crave the things I'm trying not to eat. Then when I inevitably break my diet I "gorge" myself with those foods. Lately I've been trying moderation. If I crave chocolate (or lately…

RPG gaming, bibliophile, Whovian (also Firefly, Sherlock, Warehouse 13, X Files, etc), music junkie, and foodie. DFTBA!

21 year old college grad here. I know what you mean about McDonald's. My roomie works there but after the horror stories I hear... kinda puts me off it. I am more than willing to share a few recipes (I am a culinary grad after all :P).

Down about 30 and 40 to go! Add me if you want. :)

I'm 5'9", 21 years old, and 182 lbs (as of this morning!). My heaviest is 210 lbs and my goal weight is 140 lbs. The only time I didn't like the fact that I was tall was in middle school when all the boys were prepubescent and several inches shorter than me. I got called a lot of names and for my height and also because I…
