YES! Same here,exactly. I will eat anything and everything but its gotten to the point now that I notice beforehand and am able to take steps to thwart the mad food rampage. When my menu plan for the week starts to include a pasta meal every night,lol, I know to make most of our dinners vegan only, I too also drink a ton…

This is exactly how I feel too and its the reason why I don't have cheat days. I don't need to, what I chose normally, fullfills my needs. I find the farther along I go, the more I crave healhy stuff and prefer it over what I used to eat. You know, all the junk that got me into trouble in the first place! I still have…

That's exactly it, that great climate makes for no excuses. Although the old me,seemed to find them;p Paying for it now,lol That's a great goal to work up to. Keeps your mind on the prize. I'm sure you'll be kickin' butt on June 25th:) Lael

Hi Cher, Welcome! My name is Lael, I'm in Edmonton but I used to live in BC. I grew up on the West Coast, my grandparents lived on Gabriola and as you'd imagine I was often on the Island for one reason or another;) This is such a great site, I'm finding it very helpful and I hope you do too! Lael

5'9" and goal range between 145-155lbs, subject to change depending on what I feel like when I get there. I was slim before at 150lbs but not nearly as fit as I am now-yep,even at 217lbs-, so time will tell for me when I get close, I guess.

Yes yes yes! I'm so happy for you! SO nice to see your hard work paying off!

I'm with ya, this week has been hard for me too. Keep plugging along, giving in to temptation or old behavior will only make you feel worse, as I've been finding. Lots of hugs to you!

That's amazing! I'm so happy for you.

Yikes. It always makes me sad to hear stories of women treating each other like that. We should support one another! I'm sorry that happened to you. You've encouraged me today with your story. I take comfort in knowing that we're all in the same boat here. Together we can really make a difference in each others lives.

I've not lost any weight either and I've been on the wagon for 3 months but like you I've lost inches, so I'm gonna yes, its normal. At least from what I've seen around here,we're not the only ones. Hang in there!

Oooh have I got something for you! Even my kids liked this one. I was surprised by how good it tasted. You take your spagetti squash and spoon over top of it some black beans, then you can top it with cheese if you like-I did,just a smidge-and then a homemade salsa-tomatoes,jalepenos,green onion..you get the idea- and some…

Its so nice to meet you! I'm a Canuck too:) Where are you from? I'm in Alberta. I've also been playing around with vegan and veggie meals..even becoming a fan of raw vegan food.
