Here is a vegetarian meal plan, with nutritional information and recipes: http://www.eatingwell.com/nutrition_health/weight_loss_diet_plans/diet_meal_plans/vegetarian_meal_plan?pC=1200&pT=vegetarian&pD=1

I've been vegan for 25 years. I've been raw for nine. Neither raw nor vegan is a weight loss plan. Unless you're one of those people on YouTube who eat nothing but bananas wrapped in kale, you're going to need a dehydrator, a high speed blender, a spiral slicer, a juicer.... Also, since you won't be cooking anything,…

Funny! 2 points!

They don't do an announcement post for weight gained. Probably because that would discourage people from accurately logging their weight.

I don't normally track fiber, but I just added it, and it looks like i get about 40g a day. My diary is open.

I had two c-sections too. One in 2001, one in 2009. I reached goal weight a short time ago, and while my stomach isn't perfect, (and it was the LAST place I lost weight) working out is helping.

Greetings! My name is Jennifer. I've been vegan for about 27 years, and raw for 9. Sending a friend request.

Aside from the previously mentioned red meat and leafy greens, another easy way to add iron to your daily meals is to cook in a cast iron skillet.

I prefer "geek." Sending a friend request.

I WANT one!

Kyle, TX- (just south of Austin) 27 degrees with a wind chill of 19.

Isn't that how Sumo wrestlers maintain their physiques?

Just ordered a ring snuggie from Amazon! Thanks to all for posting that!

There isn't any place near me to get them sized. I've been wearing my rings on my middle finger- or sometimes my index finger (at the end of workouts.) I'm a bit leery of having them fixed... I may wait until summer, when it's humid.

I'm 5'5" SW: 172 CW: 112 GW: 115 I just switched to maintenance.

Creepy. The man is the reason I've never been to Maine.

I'm unfamiliar with Overdrive. Checked the website and my local library isn't listed.

I'm waiting for the movie.

[quote="rml_16;30315565"I most recently finished (for myself) Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Not the best book ever, but enjoyable.[/quote] I agree. Anansi Boys and Stardust are my favorites.

Love The Last Starfighter. My favorite guilty pleasure movie is probably Reefer Madness, The Musical.

Love everything by Heinlein. And yes, that movie sucked.

I've never gotten around to reading Lovecraft, so I just downloaded his collected works. Which stories are your favorites?

I haven't read that yet, (it looked too depressing) although I love Eggers. I'm going to reread "A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius" soon- Amazon had it for $1.99. And I recently finished "The Circle" which was addictive.

Loved that book. If you haven't read Moore's A Dirty Job or the Bloodsucking Fiends books, those are equally hilarious.

I had never heard of that. Thanks- I'm definitely signing up!

I want to read both that one, and Mr. Mercedes, but they're both rather expensive for Kindle. Funny- It never bothered me to pay $25 for a hardback- but paying $12 for something that doesn't really exist I find kind of offensive.

I've never read that. It's funny how many books I haven't read because I really loved the movie. And yet, the book is always better!

Great! Now the next time I read that, it's really going to bug me! I was reading something recently, and the author was overly fond of the word "patina." By the end of the book I was flinching every time I saw it.
