Those are your guidelines, What I have found is that It helps me plan ahead, It keeps me mindful. This is a work in progress!

Thanks for the encouragement! :happy: , I know I can do this!! Frustrating sometimes though!!

You can add me look at my diary, it is open, whatever you like. I eat between 75-120 protein a day and stay close to the other macros, more home made less processed is working better for me down 5 lbs in 2 weeks. :bigsmile:

Hi Take a look at HappyHerbivore.com and they also have a group on here. You can friend me I am totally Plant based. Have a wonderful transition, it's easier than you think and healthy!! :happy:

Thanks I don't feel as embarrassed! Glad I asked:happy: !

I like the battle cry!!!

You know I did consider that for myself, I felt like it was a reinforcement that it was challanging.

Alright then.....I will not be embarrassed, I will work hard and do what I have to do (as lady like as I can) :wink: Thanks!

Excellent job, keep up the great work! You are an inspiration!!:bigsmile:

Excellent information! Thanks!!

Thanks for tweeking my plan I will commit to this, seek advice as needed and be diligent, I think my biggest challange is the carbs, I really worked hard this week and hovered around 175-180 ish. I saw the suggestions on the link and I will forge ahead. I feel better when I eat less than 200 carbs, so I am thinking that I…

Very accurately logging, although I am not perfect. I try to write it before I bite it. I use a digital food scale to weigh and measure everything down to the tenth of an ounce or to the gram, I generally don't use condiments if I use it I log it and use cooking spray ocassionally for a brief spray that I don't usually log…

Bump maybe you forgot?:cry:

Don't under estimate your abilities.....You CAN do it!!:bigsmile: I was jogging 1 mile and the trainer told me to jog 2 miles and I did it. Then a week later he told me to jog 3 mile....and i did it.

bumping I haven't heard anything :frown:

WOW what an inspiration!! Thanks for sharing the link!!

I didn't know that about the nutritional yeast.....Thanks for the info, I will incorporate that more.

Well maybe I should have said LOWER. I think that I am leaning this way becausee I just feel better when the carbs are lower. The other 2 things high protein and LOWER fat were just to replace the carb calories. I did read the link that you gave me and went to scooby and ex rx both came up with a BMR 1889-exrx and…

The vanilla chai is the best of the Vega One......it is pea protein, I tried Sun Warrior chocolate also, good .... however not as good as Vega One. Whole Foods sells them in individual packets so you can try them with out having to spend $50+ and find out you don't like it!

Vega One ( Vegan ) Vanilla Chai:happy:

I made this with vegan meat substitute and it was excellent!! Thanks for the recipe!:smile:

Hi Try this I use it all the time......you can buy at Whole Foods, a local health food store or Amazon. http://www.ener-g.com/faq-egg-replacer. :smile:

It shouldn't because your body is not fighting against medicine. If you exercise regularly and are cardio fit it might just be harder to get into you zone. I am not the expert though....

Excellent information. People struggle with this and are not aware. It presents a great challange for weight loss physically as well as mentally, especially if you are doing all the right things, you wonder why isn't this working?

I am always looking to give and get support. I sent you a request! :flowerforyou:

Thanks!! will try! :bigsmile:

Looks yummy.... what kind of liquid sweetener?

2 hours before I am going to bed...it take about that long for the body to fully digestthe last thing you ate. This allows you to get a better night sleep because you bodys energy is not focused on digestion it is ready to focus on sleeping. :happy:

The few times I have checked, I am not 100% sure on that. Fat 2 Fit Radio which is a populat site shows the Harris Benidict method as 1907. I don't have a problem eating more calories in number, since I have increased I have seen a small loss. The problem is the hunger factor. I am not sure how to change my macros? What…

I am so in if you have room? I can use the help!:happy:
