Im not a vegan but I do have The Joy of Vegan Baking. Maybe not so great for weight loss but it has amazing recipes! Ive made recipes for vegans and non vegans and everyone loves them. I bake vegan most of the time now thanks to that book.

I was a binge eater and a few different things helped me. First, I try not buy food I can easily go eat. I mostly buy whole foods that have to be prepared. If I do buy something that I crave, like potato chips, buy a small package. I also started intermittent fasting most days of the week. These worked for me but every…

I do IF and have for about a year. It workes well for me. I also used to do shift work (12+hrs of physical work). I go by the hours, I usually dont eat in the am or afternoon. I start eating about 5p-11p. I do this most days but will eat if Im hungry in the moring or afternoon. I also like the "time window" bc if I have a…

While you cannot change the ph of your body (you will die) I feel some of his ideas are valid and are worth exploring. The idea of a whole plant based diet is very healthy for some people. Also the idea of eating foods with seeds and non gmos, I feel is a great idea for ones health. Using herbs everyday can be very…

The advice that works for me is simply loving yourself during the process. It's hard to get the motivation to work out if I tell myself I have to work out to lose weight. It's difficult when the scale doesnt move and so much emphasis is placed on the numbers. However once I started to tell myself I have to work out for my…

I have also had a very traumatic year. My advice is to love yourself, first. If you are having a difficult time and eat something that might not be super healthy, it's ok. When you realize you are eating more than you should don't beat yourself up or feel guilty, that only keeps it going. Even if you have to say it out…

I'm on a diet bet with one of the baddest women out there, myself lol. Jillian Michaels worked well for me, keep it up. Friend request sent.

3 miles walking today, total of 43.5 miles so far.

My bad I thought you were talking about eating meals like walking around the kitchen or something. I don't think one would burn more calories. It is calories in calories out and if you walk the same pace eating/not eating you should burn the same calories.

I wouldn't walk and eat at the same time. A few reasons is you might eat faster and eat more than you want to. Also there is a safety issue, falling with a fork in your mouth is not worth it. Walking after eating is the one I would go with.

I use a weighted hula hoop when watching tv. Leg raises when reading, squats with laundry. I don't ever sit for more than 30 mins if I can help it either. I also walk a lot.

My 2 cents is in fitness everyone has to do what fits them. I had a gym membership and I do not use it. Reason is, I paid for a personal trainer who was so unprofessional. I wanted my behind kicked but she had her friends come in and talk to her while I was having my training and then they would, as I felt make fun of me.…

You get a bikini body by putting a bikini on your body B) If you would feel comfortable get one, you have been hard for 3 months. Torrid has plus size suits that are beautiful. Have a great trip two piece or one piece.

Welcome, losing weight for yourself is a wonderful reason. I am the same way, food is a comfort but its a habit that can be broken. Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like the motivation.

Request sent, my diary is open and I log daily.

Mine is an open book, friend request sent.

I'm no expert but one lb is not bad. It's hard to have a constant weight loss week after week. Just keep doing what you feel works for you. I weigh myself everyday and it moves a lot. I ate take out (within my calories) the other day and 'gained' 3lbs overnight. It was all the salt I ate. To help my not get obsessed over…

I use potatoes to get rid of leftovers. We have extra chili, veggies, beans, chicken etc. we toss it on a potato and you have lunch. With the focus on getting rid of leftovers we don't add cheese, bacon sour cream and all the usual potato toppings.

@lolo32015 I make it at home with an air popper but you can make it on the stove with out oil or butter http://www.livestrong.com/article/443084-how-to-cook-popcorn-without-oil/

I like it air popped with chili powder, it makes me not miss the butter and salt.

13.7 miles total so far.

March 5th: 4 miles walked

Welcome Roman, feel free to add me.

I'm in a few days behind but I can catch up :smile:

Welcome, you can add me

I hate the gym and working out too. Do little things like do not sit for more than 45 mins at a time during the day get up and more for a few mins. If you have stairs in the house run up them every time. only carry two bags of groceries at a time into the house and make lots of trips. do squats when folding laundry.…

My crunch time breakfast is; a serving of applesauce, chia seeds and whatever else I can grab like a fig or two or some nuts. Most days I try to have an egg and veggie omelet. I cut the veggies in bulk and keep them in a container in the fridge so I can get breakfast faster in the am.

I agree with Emily, if it smells good it usually tastes good.

Good lucky on the switch. I did the same thing (except I do drink one cup of coffee most days) I enjoyed Bengal Spice from Celestial Seasonings in the am. It's a little kick with the 'spices'. Green and white teas are good also with lemon or ginger. You can do it!

I work 12 hours days in an ER and I wear men hanes x-temp boxer briefs. I do wear them sometimes for a workout too. They are comfortable and keep me cool. I'm a lady and they have always fit well except for a little more room in the front.
