Hey everyone! I'm so glad I found this group! I've been following several vegan accounts and just taking in information about how to make this lifestyle work since a couple of years when I first saw a series of documentaries about food and agriculture. Over the last few months I've finally decided that I'm ready to go all…

Hi ladies! I started this group thread with no idea how consumed I would become with mom life!! I STILL need to get on track with workouts!!! I've lost all the baby weight, but the lower ab pouch is such a tough spot. I'm definitely going to look for that MomStrong workout! Anyway, who is in the group now? How are you all…

Hey :-) how are you?

I love this! I totally relate to a lot of what you said. For years I thought running seemed boring and I couldn't understand why people did it for fun. But over the past year and a half, I got interested, for health reasons. I started using a treadmill, challenging myself to run a whole mile without stopping, then I tried…

Staying motivated and consistent is definitely my #1 BIGGEST obstacle. I need to make more friends on here and hopefully the accountability will help me make this a higher priority. I know how important it is in my head, yet, when I am feeling the crunch of busyness, healthy habits are the first thing to get elbowed out.…

Oh Yeah and PLEASE stop comparing yourself to your friend. Being inspired by someone else's determination and discipline is one thing. Expecting your body to respond like theirs is quite another thing--and that's NO help at all. You are beautiful and valuable already just as you are--- do what will be healthiest for you…

I have to reply and echo what several others have said---you are putting your body into starvation/survival mode, so your systems are naturally going to hold onto everything to survive. You do need to eat more--but what you eat more OF and what you eat less of makes a HUGE difference. I would advise you to try avoiding and…

Hello! I have found that cutting all the excess sugar, esp in drinks--drinking mostly water or almond milk, and making most of my food from scratch has been the biggest help in losing my weight. I've been on here a long time, but I had been sporadic. Since I buckled down and started being more disciplined with it, I have…

I have wondered about this too, but I am only 120 lb so I wish there were some kind of formula I could use to figure out what my variables are and go from there. Any websites I can check for this? I cannot afford a personal trainer, but I NEED to get stronger, and I'd really like to get credit for it on MFP lol :)

I never liked it completely unsweetened, but I have found that I can do that if I add a good squeeze of fresh lemon or lime. The citrus goes well with black tea, chamomile, and obviously any fruit tea. Plus, you get a tiny bit of fructose which is helpful but it's still so little it barely counts. Try that and see what you…

Wow, I am not alone! I totally relate to the people who said it is "all or nothing." Probably a year and a half ago, I would NOT have thought I'd be eating the way I am now. So while there are times that cold turkey is the way, there is a place for baby steps. I have to share something that (as I just learned--thanks…

yeah you are probably in starvation mode!! you have to have a workout plan and eating habits that can be sustained long-term or else you will wear yourself out, and wind up going backwards. Be patient with yourself; all the weight is not coming off in a month, so pace yourself and remember that when the weight comes off at…

Hey there... I'm April. I noticed your post when I logged in today and decided to say hello. I just live with my husband, and he isn't on any weight loss plan, but he does try to stay healthy and has always been athletic. I like being active, but its not something that I have been consistent with at all, and so I have…
