I've been vegetarian for 12+ years and made the switch to vegan 8 months ago... never looking back! I've been bad about logging my foods on MFP, but I'm making an effort to track on here more often so feel free to add me and check out my diary if you need meal ideas!

Thanks for all the ideas guys! I can't wait to look all of this stuff up today!!

Think of all the money you'll save!

1. Pay off student loans for me and my boyfriend 2. Give a cut to my parents, siblings, and boyfriend's mom 3. Buy a house near the beach 4. Boyfriend is a car guy, so I'd let him buy his dream car 5. Hire for a personal stylist for a week to take me shopping, get my hair done, etc. 6. Save enough to vacation in a…

I've been a vegetarian for 9 years and there has never been a restaurant where there wasn't a single thing for me to eat (that is including seafood places and steak houses). Sometimes there are limited options, but I can always find at least a side salad or some steamed vegetables. Don't worry about asking the servers…

Don't worry about it too much. You said you already have an understanding of what you need to be eating to feel good and maintain a healthy weight. The reason most students gain weight when they go to school is because they finally have the freedom and ample opportunity to eat junk food all the time, and alcohol (but I'll…

SPIDERS - actually any insect really. My biggest fear of all time is waking up in the middle of the night because a spider is crawling in my mouth. Someone hiding under my car and cutting my achilles tendon when I go to get in it. Accidentally eating something that is moldy or has a hair or bug in it. :sick:

Yeah! I've always been thin, but never worked out and didn't pay attention to what I was eating. Last July I saw a picture of myself in a bikini that my friend posted on Facebook and was really upset at how squishy I looked. I am 5'3 and at the time was around 122 lbs. Last year whenever I went to lift something or even…

Red wine vinegar is my favorite (I don't add oil, just the vinegar). I've noticed that if I use things like feta, hard boiled eggs, and mushrooms they will soak up some of the vinegar to make those bites extra flavorful, yumm! Like others suggested, salsa is wonderful. I use it when I make taco salads. I also really like…

Awesome job! Truer words could not have been spoken. I love that you have found something that works for you and are persistant in continuting to work hard to make it work. Stick with it, you look great! ** I really love your hair color too. I've been wanting to get some highlights and that's exactly the color I'm looking…

HAH! :laugh:

This guy sounds like the type that gets kicks out of putting others down because he needs the confidence boost. His words mean nothing, there's nothing behind them besides the intent to say the most hurtful tings possible. I bet he makes fun of others for being to skinny, tall, wearing makeup, not wearing makeup, having…

Absolutely do not throw it away. It is food that someone brought in with good intentions for others to enjoy, not only would that hurt their feelings but it is forcing your decisions of health on everyone you work with. Its stinks that it has to be there tempting you, but think about it as a test of strength. You are…

Hey guys! I'm 21 and in my senior year of undergrad and hoping to start law school next year, yikes! Anyone feel free to add me :)

No not at all. I'm already at a healthy weight but I want to build muscle now to look firm all over because that's what I think looks good. Last summer one of my friend posted a picture of me wearing a bikini on Facebook and I was a little shocked about how I looked, so I said f**k this I'm going to work my butt off and…

Oh I think it's definitely possible if you are heavy enough and go to extreme measures. Just because it's possible doesn't mean it is something you should do. As everytone has said losing weight that quickly is extremly unhealthy and will take a major toll on your body. If he is pressuring you to lose weight, and at an…

Hahaha they don't use chicken in their swimsuits! They have these silcone things that they will put in their bras and swimsuits to give them more cleavage, drag queens use them too ;) Sometimes people will call them chicken cutlets because, well, that's what they look like. To the OP: These models work their butts off, it…

5'3. Already 110lbs and now looking to add strength. I love having new friends and am more than excited to support everyone's goals :)

Woah, great results! This definitely inspires me to do another round.

Beans, beans, beans. I've been a vegetarian for almost 9 years now, and beans are a life saver. They are so easy to cook up with vegetables, add to salads, throw in soups, combine with rice, etc. They are a great source of protein. My personal favorites are black and kidney. Eggs, tofu, protein shakes, and greek yogurt are…

When you got fitted at Victoria's Secret did you do the fitting where they take you into the dressing room to measure you and then give you a box of bras to sample? I'm a 32D there too and I've found that some of the bras there fit me way differently than others even though they are the same size. If you can go back in…

berries, veggies and hummus, cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs, pickles

Last fall I made these cookie type things using a box of chocolate cake mix, a can of pumpkin puree, and dark chocolate chips. They were so fluffy and gooey, I am definitely making them again this fall! Now if you're looking for healthy desserts try fruit instead, but these are great for a special treat!

Everybody starts somewhere. If you think c25k sounds like something you would enjoy doing and can stick to then go for it. You can either be your biggest fan or your biggest critic. If you choose to believe you can do it then you will.

You can make hard boiled eggs and keep them in the refrigerator to grab in the morning. Fruits, nuts, and bars are easy to grab and snack on while youre doing other things. If you want some more filling options I would suggest smoothies, oatmeal, or eggs. Instant oatmeal only takes 1 min in the microwave. You can buy the…

You are so strong, you've got this. Wishing you all the best with everything you have faced and are about to face. Lots of love <3

I like #3 the best, but I think #9 is my second favorite (especially if you are looking for something a little more funky) :)

21 here! :)
