Vegan diets make you lose weight. <<waves hi as a fat vegan!!>> LOL DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH VEGAN JUNK FOOD EXISTS NOW? it's GLORIOUS ;)

I would love you to add me. sounds like we are in similar boats. I've lost the weight before but i let it all come back and THEN some... I live in alaska now. I have 88 more pounds to lose... ugh...

Seward, Alaska here!

I'm pretty happy with a pretty fulfilling life, and I still require a seat belt extension on a plane.... You can be happy AND have lots of fat, but I just happen to be working on being healthier at the moment. I'm not going to be miserable in the mean time... ^^just saying.

We need to stop labeling people as FAT. We ALL have fat. One of my 4 year olds (I have twins) asked me if I was fat. I said "well I have fat, more than you, and some people have more than me and some people have less then me. I'm trying to have less fat so I can play with you better."

Dry original Cheerios work for me :)

I live in Alaska. I've paid $5 for one Apple... i don't eat meat so I can't attest to that, but produce is VERY expensive here. I've taken to ordering some food (like dry goods) offline from amazon since the Prime shipping is free even to Alaska. It is VERY expensive to eat healthy here.

^^THIS Pretty much any time someone starts something with "Well I read online that...." you KNOW it's going to make you mad. :laugh:

May most annoying pet peeve comment is "Well what do you eat then?!?!" (I don't eat dairy or land animals--I do eat minimal fish and eggs though) THERE ARE THESE THINGS CALLED GRAINS AND VEGETABLES AND FRUIT YOU KNOW... geez.... Or if I say I'm an ovo-pescatarian i usually don't get annoying comments, i just get grunts and…

WHAT THE ACTUAL F#*K? Did someone actually tell you this!!?!

I'm totally going to do this now! thanks for the info. I think the sugar goal is ridiculously low. I'm always under my carbs but often go over my sugars.

I'm a pescatarian and Dairy free, only occasional eggs and fish but normally only wild caught salmon here (I'm in Alaska). feel free to add me. I have very few friends that eat similarly.

I know I'm a "big" girl giving you advice, but I've been up and down a lot in life. I really think you need to look at WHAT you're eating. I looked at your diary, you eat a lot of fast food, processed snacks, some alcohol. Even though you stay under (normally too far under) your calorie goals, you aren't getting good…

I am similar weight to you and my goal weight is to be 160 by December. Don't focus on that "magic" number, even if you lose 2lbs a week, which is more achievable, you will weigh under 200 pounds, which will be a HUGE accomplishment. Trust me, I'm 32 now and have done this yo-yo crap since I was 18 , slow and steady wins…

Rockin Wellness. Seriously. not advertising for them or anything. it's amazing, Raw, and Vegan. :) I mix it with almond milk every morning. just google them. :) Yes, it's expensive, but right now they are doing a deal for 3 bags for $89, Promo code RUOCU. :)

I too suffer from emotional eating. I am an addictions counselor as a profession and try to look at my relationship with food as I treat patients' addiction--by identifying my triggers for eating and stopping the thoughts before they turn into cravings. It is really a challenge, as we all still need to eat to survive. I…

^^This :laugh:

I've been a pescetarian for 3 years now and about two months ago, i gave up dairy and soy as well. I was noticing that i was eating too much vegan "junk " food (like morningstar meat-like products, etc. ) I can tell you that I don't eat anything with dairy in it at all, as I believe i have a milk protein allergy vs just…

i think safflower oil goes farther so you can use less. IMO. :)

yes i agree with you. It does take so much work, but like some people on here said in there own words, if I wasn't super dedicated it won't work. I'm an "all or nothing" kinda gal. My internet was out for a day and i was FREAKING out because I couldn't enter my stuff on MFP.... i know it can turn into an obsession, and…

Feel free to add me. I need to lose 90 lbs and I have a vegetarian diet if you are looking for some new ideas there, my diary is open. :) I've lost 8 lbs so far and this is my third time on here as well. I'm also trying to minimize all processed foods. -Jill

I just wanted to say that I signed up for MFP last year when my baby was a few months old. Even including 500 calories of "exercise" for breastfeeding, my supply went through the floor. I started to lose weight but my milk supply was more important to me. So i gave up on the weight loss and just maintained my overweight…
