my food diary is open to friends so feel free to add me. More support and motivation is always a good thing

You look good good before and after i think but i'm glad youre accomplishing what you want. Amazing transformation and inspirtational.

I tend to go over my alotted carbs and getting up in the morning to exercise. I've been getting work outs in but i'd love to get up and get them done in the morning.

i just started this yesterday. I tried it once before and liked it but just didn't have the motivation to stick with it. Hopefully its dfferent this time but i do really enjoy it, i don't even notice that it takes a half an hour to complete.

The PPK has some yummy recipes. I have a lot of cook books but honeslt when i want to try something new i usually just do a good search. Right now one of my favorites is quinoa salad..... Cook 2 cups of quinoa according to package 1 can black beans 1 cup frozen corn thawed 1large avacadochopped 1 mago chopped 1 can of…

Hi, and welcome!

HI! I understand where you are coming from I have a binge eating disorder and restrictive at times. Though I know everybody's story is different i'm sure we can relate feel free to add me if youd like

I love chickpeas and will eat them almost any way but my favorites are either curry or in the winter i make a chickpea and spinach soup that is fairly simple its just... 2 cups veggie broth 1 can of chickpeas 1 cup of veggies (i usually do potatoes) 1/2 cup of cream (or for vegan i mix soy milk with corn starch to thicken…

Welcome! fell free to add me if you's like i log on pretty much daily.

I love instagram lol my user name is heidicupcakes

in a lettuce wrap i usually add corn and avacado anything else totally depends on my mood.

I know alot of this seems like common sense stuff but it was actually really helpful and motivating to read.

There are lots of simple things you can do... Like i will take cooked lentils and add taco seasons make "raw" tacos by eating them in a romaine leaf with other veggies. I also like to do roasted vegetables with rice. What kind of meals have you been eating? That would be helpful in suggesting meals to you.

I completely agree with this! i approximate when i log food some times too though i will say i am impressed that the food log on MFP does have a lot of the vegan foods if you search. Ther are alot of food options as a vegan and you dont have to eat a lot of the "fake" processed stuff. I gained alot of my weight from…

I'm 5'2'' and 3/4...that 3/4's is important lol and i currently weight about 143ish I'd like to get back down to about 115-120.

Hey i completely understand where you are coming from! I'm a vegan...was vegetarian for a long time then vegan for a few years then just veg but now back to vegan lol! either way i have a lot of years experience and have even messed with raw food some too so feel free to add me.

Hi Bobby! Congratulations on over coming what you have and feeling confident again!

I agree with Jason Segel! Love him

I just started this site and am 5'2'' and have about 30 lbs to lose. so kinda similar feel free to add me

Veganism also usually includes not using any products that were tested on animals or contain animal by-products. True Veganism is actually very strict. As a diet though vegans dont eat anything that had a fae, family or pulse lol they dont eat dairy or eggs or honey or anything that uses those as ingredients they also dont…

Motivation is my biggest problem because once i get myself moving i go at it and work my butt off lol. I could use the friends for motivation too and i'm new to the site as well.

Congratulations on the progress you have made! That is very inspiring to me as i just joined this site and my exercise plan starting out was to do work on the treadmill (mainly C25K) and 30 day shred. Good luck progressing!

and honestly thank you for the input

you people are the word detox to seriously...but its ok I can take the sarcasm

I will make sure everything works out to be safe and healthy as possible before trying anything as I want to be as healthy and effective as possible. I have seen a doctor for my digestive problems I do eat a high fiber diet and take probiotics but some times its still not enough and any medications the doctor has…

I agree it doesn't really seem like a detox....though it does give you a list of "detoxing foods" but as I said think it will be a little extra guidance for me.

its not really that I feel the need to detox but having a set of guidelines to work off of helps me out. Just being able to say "I'm going to do this" is a bonus for me. Plus what I saw in the magazine just kind of gave me a guideline and idea. And I have digestive problems so my body doesn't detoxify itself the way it…

I was vegetarian for 9 years and then ate vegan for about 2 I fell off the wagon and have been eating just vegetarian for a while but recently devoted myself to veganism again. I know I gained a lot of weight when I went vegetarian and started eating dairy again so hopefully going vegan will help me shed some weight…

Welcome! and sorry that you have recently gone through something so big but I'm glad that its actually given you some new perspective.

i love quinoa but every time i cook it for myself i do something wrong and it doesn't turn out right. My favorite recipes with quinoa though are salads. My friend makes and amazing quinoa salad with mango, avacado and mint.
