True, but they still have some helpful lists. Like who tests on animals and lists of common animal derived products. You just have to stick to what you're looking for and not get side tracked by naked ladies covered in lettuce.

Actually if you read the post he mentions algae specifically. Here's another source saying the same "Foods such as sea vegetables and spirulina may contain vitamin B-12 analogs; neither these nor fermented soy products can be counted on as reliable sources of active vitamin B-12 (29,88)."…

Oh and here's a good list of things to look out for to avoid http://www.peta.org/living/vegetarian-living/animal-ingredients-list.aspx the list is a bit overwhelming, but you get a sense of the common ones to look out for pretty quickly. Usually if you just scan the allergens list it will tell you if it has milk in it.…

Don't just rely on food for B12, it's not a reliable source and a B12 supplement is cheap! I recommend these…

I've been vegan for five years and plan to continue to be vegan, but really it's whatever you're comfortable with. Also, I rarely if ever eat fake meats. It's not that hard to be a whole foods vegan, or close to it depending on how much you like unhealthy snacks. That said, try this link for vegetarian protein ideas that…

Looking great!

great job, you look amazing!

Might be worth asking a doctor! Do you have stomach problems otherwise?

28 5'9 HW: No idea, probably 138 CW: I think 138 (I don't own a scale, I just know my size four skirts and pants are starting to get tight) GW: About 134 and a 28 inch waist

I realized that I was developing one of those unfit middle aged lady paunches at 28 and it was making me look terrible in skirts. That and I got tired of feeling like I'm going to die every time the elevator in my building is out and I need to walk up several flights of stairs.

I have the same HR monitor. It's easy. Search for the exercise you did and then just replace the suggested number given to you by MFP with the actual number that you got from the HRM. Or create a new exercise. MFP will take care of the rest. Don't add or subtract anything yourself or you will mess up the automatic…
-
hah. I pretty much joined MFP because I was so irritated that I was looking bad in pencil skirts. I never used to have one! But I think after I hit 26 or so I started getting one. I'm hoping enough Bob Harper DVDs and cardio will take care of it.
-
That sounds yummy! And thanks for mentioning about the flax because I was just about to ask that!
-
you look great! Nice job!
-
Love this! This is pretty much exactly what I'm aiming for. I wonder though, given the heavier weight of more muscle, does that change the calorie calculations at? Or maybe not, since you're still losing fat (and just exchanging it for muscle).
-
Yes, seconding this one. I did it yesterday for the first time in a while and boy am I feeling it today!
-
The HR monitor I have gives me fatburn and fitness as the two zones it tells me if I'm in. So it sounds like I should be spending some time in both of those, as well as a short amount of time in the upper range of the fitness zone?
-
Actually, now that I think about it I take a generic antihistamine with added Sudafed to help with some sinus issues. That might be part of the problem.
-
OK, that makes sense. It's not that it's beating HARD so much as just fast. I mean, I've been working out at this pace regularly before I got the HR monitor and it leaves me breathless but not the point of it being a real issue. I guess I should be happy I got the HR monitor to be aware of this though! Plus, to realize how…

It's like 130 140 145 150 160 175 179 (and then me freaking out and slowing down) So I don't think it's the heart rate monitor being defective (it does have a chest strap, it's the polar ft40) or a medial condition, so much as a representation of the fact that I'm actively picking up the pace to burn more calories. I'm not…

I don't have the DVD, but you can buy and stream individual workouts from her website. The swan arms one is really hard! I feel it the next day way more than I do from my current lifting routine with light weights. I also have one of the cardio videos and the abs one (SO hard). Does anyone know if using a HRM would be…
-
I was wondering about this earlier today. I used my HRM and got an estimate pretty close to what MFP suggested for 20 minutes of strength, so I went with that anyway. But if you're doing something like 30 Day Shred where weights are a big part of the workout, is the HRM reasonably accurate? I read online that if it's more…
