I've had mostly decent experiences, my latest there and back trip was not so good. My recent experience: I was waiting for the bus that was 45 minutes late in 105 degree weather with no shade. Once it finally showed up, there was no AC and we ended up pulling off to the side of the interstate twice with no explanation! On…

Hi! I majored in biology too. I don't think finding a job in this field is hard at all. What do you want to do with your degree? If you're still in school, you should really look into student employment in a research lab, if you haven't already. That will give you tons of experience in lab techniques and research, maybe…

I just made this spread and put it on a sandwich. Tastes great! http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/3000

Vegetarian here! Friend request sent. I've been vegetarian for 12 years. I cook most of what I eat and most of the recipes I use come from AllRecipes.com or Wholefoodsmarket.com. I've recently started strength training so I've have been trying to eat more protein and have been able to hit the daily goal pretty easily with…

I'm vegetarian and my diary is open!

I just made tofu chili this week. It tasted great, perfect for chilly weather and the recipe makes enough for several days! http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/392?utm_source=Responsys&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2011_10_19_Recipe

Hi Angela, I live in Chicago too! I used to bike 18 miles round trip from Chicago to Evanston each day for work using the River Trail. I stopped this year because work got crazy (it's faster to take the Metra and I need to be into work sooner) so I got into running. I plan to do it again next year when it warms back up. I…

Hi Jenna! I've been a vegetarian for a little over 10 years and I run too! Feel free to friend me! The two nutrients you need to be careful about, especially as a woman, is iron and vitamin b12. Foods with iron: wholegrain cereals/flours, leafy green vegetables (eg. collards, kale, broccoli and other dark greens), eggs,…

You can get vitamin b12 from eggs, dairy, fortified cereals and non-dairy milks, whey powder and yeast extracts. http://www.savvyvegetarian.com/articles/getting-enough-vitamin-B12.php http://www.healthaliciousness.com/articles/Top-5-Natural-Vegetarian-sources-Vitamin-B12.php…

My grandparents and parents are distributors. I don't follow the plan but I do drink the Cinch shake for breakfast. It tastes great and keeps me full until lunch! I also recommend the Cinch tea!

I'm 5'3 with 15 more pounds to lose. Lost 35 lbs so far!

I use Shaklee Cinch, protein powder and multivitamin! My grandparents and parents are distributors so I was pretty much raised on it and never run out!

I live in Chicago (northside!). Go Bulls and Sox!

My gym is right next to work! I've been waking up at 6am to exercise before work. I feel energized all day (I've given up my afternoon coffee) and the best part is you're done for the day! It was much easier to wimp out of exercising after a long day at work rather than waking up 30 minutes earlier and just getting it done…

I'm a vegetarian!

I'm also fair skinned and it happens to me. Co-workers have commented on it several times since I go to work right after the gym!

Hi Constance! I'm a vegetarian and usually get near or over my protein limit on MFP by eating lots of lentils, legumes (e.g. chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans) and quinoa. Protein is actually easy to get even on a vegetarian diet. What you need to be concerned about is B12 which is found almost exclusively in animal…

I road and mountain bike! During the spring, summer and fall, I commute to work by bike (15 miles round trip) and I usually do two century (100 mile) rides a year. Love to meet fellow bikers!
