And to add to what other people said... of course you can be vegan/vegetarian and still be fat. :P There are unhealthy and indulgent foods in every single one of the food groups. Just take it easy on them. You'll be golden!

That's exactly what I said..... and eating animal products might be the 'easiest', but it's not the healthiest or kindest to the environment. You can be compassionate and still get enough protein. Humans can live perfectly healthy lives independent of using animals as a food or nutrient source. The benefits of veganism far…

Don't let people tell you that being vegan isn't healthy. There are a lot of people who will tell you that your body NEEDS animal proteins. They are just uneducated. Fruits and vegetables as well as whole non-enriched grains provide your body all the nutrients it needs. Avoid overdoing it on the sugary fruits... but raw…

Hey guys! I'm looking for pals, too! :) I'm 26, and I use this thing every day, so I won't go inactive and I'll be a good source of support, I promise!! :D Add me!

Oh my god I am in the same boat as you. Mine is HORRIBLE. Did we get ours at the same place?! :P I think mine was a cheap Dollar General scale.... I always have to adjust the little knob to reset the red arrow to 0, because EVERY TIME I step on or step off, it always defaults to a few lbs over or a few lbs under 0. I can't…

SUSHI.... SO much of it..... I live not even 5 minutes away from a fantastic sushi place, and they have happy hour 5-7pm every weeknight.... $1 nigiri, $2 sashimi, $3 maki rolls...... I spend like $12 and get just a heaping plate full of the tastiest sushi. It's so difficult to pass by it every day and say no... my mouth…

Oh, no, no. It may have just been my wording. Trust me, I'm not interested in crash diets. I love food. And I eat generally healthy foods to begin with (I'm a vegetarian, and as that would suggest, the majority of what I consume is plant-derived). I have lost a significant amount of weight before -- roughly 50lbs over the…

Speaking from my own personal experience... Between 2007-2008 I lost 50lbs. I went from 180lbs down to 130. During that time, the ONLY TWO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES that I made to my daily lifestyle were: cutting out soda (cold turkey) and incorporating a 25 minute pilates DVD into about 4-5 days of my average week. Those are…

Uhh, I would guess that men are no more likely to cheat than women. It's not a gender-specific attribute. Just a ****ty person attribute. I know far more women who have cheated than men. I'd say it's pretty equal. And as far as the "why"... there are too many reasons but no real GOOD reason. I've always subscribed to the…

The point was not to find a problem that is "restricted" to short girls.... it's to find out if there is a common link between our stature and the areas that we can't seem to shake while the weight is coming off. I've gone through losing 50lbs before... and literally none of it came off my butt and thighs, albeit doing a…
-
So what works for the thighs?? It seems we all have pudgy thighs. :( When I do lose weight, I lose it from my tummy. To some girls, that would be a blessing. I just feel like, without targeting one area, I become increasingly disproportionate! I do a pilates workout that incorporates everything -- back, shoulders, chest,…

I'm into metalcore tooooo.... It's not *all* I listen to, but it's what I listen to most! My favorite bands are Thrice and Brand New, which are not metal at all... but here are some bands I listen to a lot: Of Mice & Men, The Word Alive, Blessthefall, Bring Me The Horizon, We Came As Romans, Parkway Drive, Memphis May…

Don't mean to bump my own post, but I'm still looking for friends!! Please send me a request. :) I need some encouragement and some people who are all about fitness who can keep me motivated and maybe help me with some of the speed bumps I'm hitting. Mainly my inability to tone my butt and thighs... I've always been…
-
Woohoo, go John!!
-
That is exactly what I should do!... pace myself and savor every bite a little more. I have always eaten my food much faster than one should eat. When I go out to dinner with friends, I'm usually the first to finish. I drink water with my food... usually 2-3 glasses with my meals. That should curb my appetite a little…

Awesomeeee! Thank you! I used to juice a lot, and that was really the only way I would incorporate Kale into my diet.... but my juicer broke a couple weeks ago, so it will be nice to try it in it's solid form in some dishes! :)
-
Thank you!! :) Yes, I know what I can achieve... it's just a matter of getting myself back into the correct mindset to do it a second time. The weight I am at now is kind of where my body wants to stay, if that makes any sense. :-\ My body is resistant to keep a healthy weight. I've been large all my life, throughout my…
-
I have the same issue!! I can go 7-8 hours without eating anything, and I feel fine! Not hungry in the slightest.... And then, as soon as I take a bite of some food, it instantly triggers this huuuge appetite, and then I just want to keep eating and eating and eating. When I'm done with a meal, that's when it is the…

Edited because I messed up my image links.... haha! Like I said, I'm new to the message board. :P

Look at you, hottie!! :) I agree, even girls with a little meat on their bones can look sexy in costume. In fact, most of them look better than the twigs! Not to take away from anyone's ambition to lose weight (that's why we're all here, obviously.. haha), but I think the first step to getting healthy is loving yourself…

Hi! This is my first post on the message boards. :) I peaked at my highest weight in 2007... at exactly 180lbs.... and guess what I ended up getting down to! 130!! Ironic, huh? If I did it, you can definitely do it. All it takes is some serious determination. I'd be happy to help however I can. I ended up gaining a little…
