Thank you for your support and words of wisdom. I will remember what you said, "..is a load of BOLOGNA!!" and remind myself that I DON'T EAT MEAT and to take THAT bologna out of my diet, too. ! LOL. Well, you got me to smile so thank you:smile:

Thank you! When my husband asked my Oncologist why I'm not losing weight, he said, "You're healthy!". Ha! Not really the answer I wanted, but "unexplained weight loss" could be a serious sign. You're right. I'll count my Blessings. Now, I'm going for a walk:)

You should probably open your food diary for people to take a look at. I was feeling awful, but my calories were in the correct range. A few people asked if I were eating enough protein and in fact I wasn't. When I increased the protein I felt much better and still am. It's not just calories in/out. The nutritional content…

I agree with everyone. The HRM does a simple calculation based on the beats per minute, with the statistics you entered (height, weight, etc.) The harder you work the faster your heart beats and the more calories burned. The same workout for 30 minutes at Curves was usually 200cals. When I worked out extra hard it showed I…

Welcome back! You made a good choice. The long term goal should be a lifestyle change. so, you made bad choices last week. So? It's what you do in the long term that really counts. Just plan a yummy healthy meal and go for a walk. You'll feel better and soon be offering your support to others:)

I admit I like seeing it. Unfortunatly, I haven't seen the numbers that it claims, even though I stay within a good range of exercise and nutrition. Maybe, I will boost my metabolism and be able to rech those goals!

:smile: My favorite cookbook is Vegan Yum Yum! (And it IS Yummy) Evrything I've tried out of this book has been amazing! She has a website by the same name. Please check it out! Also, Vegan Lazy is a blog on MFP. The best vegan chile rellenos recipe! I also cook Indian food and am really getting into all the spices. Thai…

@ KRAZYBOB You been given some misinformation. I've been on a vegan diet for almost a year and this was a concern of mine, too. I just had labs done that show I have plenty of protein in my diet. Also, with strength training I am buidling muscle- not losing it. The best part is my blood pressure has really gone down. My…

Perfect timing. I just vowed to get up and go out for a walk in the mornings. Here we go!!!!

That's a big difference! Beautiful.:flowerforyou:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You have so much to celebrate. Thank you for sharing your story. Sometimes, peeling away the emotional layers helps to remove our "outer layers". You're an inspiration to all of us. You look terrific and you look YOUNGER. I only see one downside to your terricfic weight loss...you'll need to get your…

Great job! You look very healthy and must feel good. (Very happy you kicked cancer's butt!)

Hey, check out zackerybinx's link to Your Fitness Pal. There's a trailor for "Forks For Knives" and info about a discussion on Dr. Oz. Read "The China Study" for good reasons to go vegan. Good luck!

Thanks. I will check out the site you recommended. "Very well" means lots of vegetables, fruit, soy products, legumes, etc., but I will read more and also increase my protein. Water? Still not 8 glasses; about 5-6. I'll work on that, too.

@xcountrymom- (I'm not sure how to reply to your post, so let's see if this worked) I agree, my body just wants me to be cozy. I'm taking the day off from exercise and this sofa feels "just right". I will rest today and tell my body a thing or two tomorrow.

Thank you for the response. Funny you should ask about protein. Now that I'm logging my diet on this website I see that my protein is usually lower than recommended. I recently had my labs checked and everything looked great (iron, B12, red blood cells, etc.) BUT they didn't check my protein levels. I will ask my doc about…

That can be so frustrating. Weights are just never going to be perfect. My husband weighed this morning and was upset that he weighed three pounds more than he did yesterday. I reminded him that he ate HAM, which is loaded with salt, and he's probably retaining water. Our weight changes day by day and hour by hour. (and…

WOW! You look so much healthier and so much younger! I can't believ that youre 39yrs. You look like you're in your twenties. You are an amazing inspiration to me and to many people. This journey is not easy for anyone. I would love to be MFP friends!
