I kid you not I lose SO much faster when I eat them back and I feel a lot more energetic.

Yes please! Me too :) that sounds perfect! I do so much better when there is a bit of competition :D

Everyone needs a diet buddy to stay on track! I know I do! :) oh oh pick me! *jumping up and down raising hand :D

Amazing hair

That is so amazing! If you are worried though you know you can download apps that will tell you how much you need for your gender/ body weight. They will even remind you to drink!

I totally feel your pain and I have two tips. One try eatting something else. Remove yourself from where you can see them or smell them and have a piece of fruit. I know it sounds lame but it totally helps! Two if you give in...time yourself eatting it. It makes a huge difference the next time when you look back and think…

Breath it will pass :)

Never seen the video but follow them on twitter and read some of the cook books. Love forks over knives! We should boost the sharing here.

Dance is always good. Competitions are fun too! My room mate and I have little challanges to see who can do the most reps of weights while we watch tv :D going to the batting cages! Swim is awesome! Oh and if you like dance have you tried Zumba! LOVE Zumba!

YES! and the whole "should you be eating that?" Obviously I should or I wouldn't be. Do you ever feel like people are watching to see if you eat non vegan?

Advice? Take it a day at a time. Do the best you can and don't worry so much about calories. Calories are important yes but so is nutrition. It is better to go over a little and get the nutrients you need.

You are HA-LAAAAAAAARIOUS! :D add!

that sounds delicious! thank you for sharing!

Confidence! I am jealous :) you go girl!

I am looking for a new start and new friends myself would love to add you :)

I couldn't be more excited then to find this group! PRAISE GOD! God is good YAY! I so need to get back on my game and you ladies may be the push I need to do it. Thank you :)

I would like to dress like me. I am so tired of wearing what fits. I want to feel like a girl. I want to wear little dresses and high heels. If I tried to wear heels at this size I'd break a leg (as I fell from breaking the shoe first :P) I hate it.

Oh and by the way I hope your birthday was awesome :) I am SO sorry we didn't know! Or we would of done something nice for you. Will scolded me last night cause HE knew :P LOL but I haven't made it to facebook in forever! Happy bd Vanilla :)

:D me I am so in. I have done terrible the last couple of weeks. I got my period and it was a HORRIBLE month so I took comfort in eatting whatever the heck I wanted and hating myself for it. THEN...thanks giving hit like 2 days later. I ate enough patato and stuffing for at least 3 people :P and at my moms any get together…

It is really about your goals. I work in a gym and we tell people if you are lifting fast you are using momentum not muscle. It was also suggested to me recently by a personal trainer that if you are trying to build bulk muscle then lift heavy and if you are trying to burn calories lift light. I am not a trainer mind you I…

I don't have answers to everything but I can tell you these! If you set up your profile and put in your information MFP will tell you how many calories a day to meet your personal goals. Yes you should eat back your work out calories. It keeps your metabolisum pumping! And I just learned the easiest way to make veggies…

Ummm I don't know this is fact but I have read they actually dehydrate the french fry and rehydrate them with oil :P It is why they are so crispy. This question just struck me... I ate these the other day and never considered that they may be cooked in animal fat :P Oh *Shudder YUCK! I am so glad for this forum! You are…

Vegan is an option. It isn't for everyone I know but I love it! Protien suggestion have you tried making your own hummus. LOL I must be craving hummus I keep suggesting this to people. Need a quick snack idea? HUMMUS. Need more protien? HUMMUS can't decide what color to paint you house... LOL but it is really easy and so…

Congrats on the new baby and the new life style choices I hope you find great success. MFP is a good starter point it is really fun to track you calories here and I have to say everyone I have interacted with has been super supportive. Good luck! Welcome!

Go vegan. Seriously it is not expensive. It isn't hard. It is freaking delicious and you will feel so much better. Meat isn't "clean" it is full of antibotics, horomones (I know I can't spell) and fear...seriously a lot of people get addicted to meat because of the adrenalyn in it (again I know I can not spell) which is…

Find something that excites you in a reward. Starter photos so you can compare later. A chart. A present or reward. Anything that helps you get there. Don't give up...get started. I promise once you get that first pound off... oh it is addictive. A single pound and I feel like I am floating physically cause my body feels…

you can totally do this :) You really can. I have been there. My starter weight for MyFittnessPal was 327 and I was so sad. Just didn't see the point. Didn't think it would happen. Here are some things I know :) One...losing that first lb is hard but once it is off...you feel like a super model. You will feel so much…

Just an opinion but I think it can vary. I know for me personally I am with you. I burn so much faster if I eat healthy. If I eat junk I can stay under calories and it comes off slower but I have met the odd person for whom the rule doesn't stand true.

Just be really careful to wash your veggies carefully I have heard that residue pesticides can be processed by the body into illnesses. Good for you for taking on the new challenge! I wish you lots of luck!

Water! You can spice it up so many ways! Pass the soda and crystal light. Try a lemon twist it is SO good or a lot of my friends really like cucumber water. They say make it cold and slice them into it and it is delicious. My sister likes to cut her water with unsweetned fruit juice and that works for her. Carbonated…
