I have the same problem!! And peanut butter and nuts add up for fat-FAST!!! But I do like to snack on almonds. Lately I've been having a small portion of oatmeal w/ soymilk (or whatever non-dairy is your fave), I find its a great pre-workout snack too, the carbs give you good energy! Although, I love peanut butter with and…

ME TOO!!! I've plateaued at size Large for over a year, but sometimes I STILL can't believe that I'm a large! It's weird for me to walk into literally almost every store and find tops in my size. Pants are another story, I'm a bit of a pear shape. But CUTE TOPS HERE WE COME!! GREAT JOB!!!

I used to have the same problem. I liked veggies, but it was a love/hate relationship (although I always LOVED green veggies; brocolli, asparagus, spinach, etc). I personally LOVE them sauted in a little olive oil with garlic...mmm. I used to HATE most "salad" veggies; tomatoes, onions (could only have them diced into tiny…

I personally think it's a weird diet. But I eat a vegan diet, so what do I know? I just can't imagine quinoa NOT being good for you! :P

So proud of you!!!!!! Oot oot!!!

ignore this post...couldn't figure out how to delete it!

I'm vegan, and I hate to cook. I should probably incorporate raw food into my diet. Not that it doesn't require preparation, but it may be a good way for me to get better nutrition. I should look into it!

I LIVE off of oatmeal...it's not an exaggeration that I have it almost everyday, either for breakfast or dinner, or a small portion for quick energy before a workout. I use old fashioned, and I don't think I prepare it the way your supposed to. I have a "hot shot" hot water electric appliance, usually used to heat up water…

I have been trying to go Vegan for over a year, I love it. I've been on again, off again, but I feel great when I stick to it. It is very important to do your research and make sure you get your proper nutrients. :)

Three and a half cups I would say is a meal size. Once you factor in all the fluid in fruit, you should feel like you've eaten a meal. I'm not sure about the accuracy of the calories though. It seems a little low, but I could be wrong!

I weigh myself every morning, but I only post weight loss if I lose no less than 1 pound. I only post weight gain if it's over 3 pounds (because your body constantly fluctuates daily anyway). That way, I stay positive about my weight loss and don't fuss too much about gaining. Most of the days I magically gain, it's gone…

I fell off last night!!!! Now I need to chase it for like 3 miles at the gym.... Stupid Ben & Jerry's! Why is ice cream like crack?? Did I mention I'm trying to go VEGAN?....err. It's ok...we'll all find that darn wagon and hurdle ourselves back up onto it. :D

Oh boy...what a profound question...let's start with the family. I was always the "skinniest" in my family-at 5'10 and 220 lbs, as a teenager. We were taught to finish everything on our plate, and my older brother has always had a major issue with food. He eats whatever he wants, whenever (and it shows). If mom brought…

I weigh myself every morning, and I know weight fluctuates, so I don't panic when the number's not what I expect. I post my new weight only if I've lost a minimum of .2 lbs. Typically so far, I get to repost every week up to 2x. I only allow myself to post a gain if it's a minimum of 1 lb. That way I stay positive mentally…

I have the same problem with sugar. I haven't touched a single thing today with white sugar. I had like a tablespoon of real maple syrup (27 grams) with my oatneal this morning, and 2 bananas-need potassium (38 grams), and 6 oz of baby carrots (10 grams) today. And yet I'm over on sugar and under on EVERYTHING else. I get…

vegweb.com has THOUSANDS of recipes!!! That's where I get mine. Most of them are vegan, but you can always add eggs/dairy depending on your specific nutritional goals. I went vegetarian a year ago, and I'm shooting for 100% vegan. If you do shift completely into vegetarian, just make sure you do research on the nutrients…

What's done is done, but don't beat yourself up! You'll be most likely to sabotage yourself then. Are you going to be home all day everyday with nothing to do but eat? No!! Today was just an exception, brush it off, tomorrow's a new day. If it would make you feel better about it, maybe add an extra 15 minutes or make it a…

That book changed my life (along with extra research)!!! I realized I was "ignoring" my subconscious vegetarian! Ever since I was a little kid, I was SUPER picky about the meat I did put into my mouth (eew, steak! don't even think about me putting prime rib in my mouth! Animal fat eew!). I always liked chicken, but I never…

3 years ago I was like crazy go to the gym 2 hours a night 4 days a week (eating pretty much whatever I wanted) and I lost 65 pounds! But....my life went crazy,, I moved , changed jobs, stopped the gym. I gained 15 lbs back. Then last year I was disgusted, and changed my diet (no gym), I went mostly vegan (Mostly…

I'd have to be 6'3!!! I'm 5'10, 200.8 lbs!

They're able to lose so much because their entire lives are completely devoted to working out and eating right on the ranch. They don't do anything else while they're there, and they have all the tools they need and the motivation from their teammates and Bob and Jillian. Of course the work is all their own, and it's…

I'm 5'10!!! I curently weigh 200ish (haven't been able to weigh myself since I started here, waiting for new scale to come). The lowest weight I've ever had at this height is 180 when I was 14 years old, I'm 23 now. I'm currently a size 14/16 depending on brand, (but more often 14) I would KILL to be 175, and I have no…

I've been trying to go vegan for exactly a year. I made it 3 months solid (but when I caved to things I got right back to vegan, instead of getting mad, and giving up). I did not excercise or go to the gym (which I do NOT recommend) but in 5 months I lost 15 pounds! I'm 5'10 and I was about 210 lbs. The lowest I've ever…

Very true! stay away from Maruchan!!!! Ugh! Day one and of course I'm over my carbs today and under my protein by 20!! Good thing I'm making veggie quinoa/lentil stew. I love veg web!!! ;D

I'm new here! I've been trying to be Vegetarian/vegan for about a year now. As a child, most meat grossed me out (unless it was battered or processed to the point that it was unrecognizable as meat). I read Skinny *****, and instantly went vegetarian, vegan 2 weeks later. I went 3 months solid, but then a small dairy amout…
