Eat the things you like that are good for you. Have a vegan meal of yummy potatoes cooked in a good way (oven fries, baked, etc). I don't eat thinks I don't like. Potatoes, corn and rice,(whole gran is much better) aren't bad, and neither is cucumber. Go to town eating the good things you like.

Here is my two cents and how I would handle it. I'd say thank you for your information, but I do things differently. Simple and respectful. And I'd keep in mind that what she is saying is coming from an unhealthy person physically. It is obvious from your description of her behavior toward you that she is not well…

I eat nearly all carbs and I'm losing weight because I am a whole foods vegan. Potatoes and corn are carbs, and they are not bad. In fact potatoes and corn are full of nutrients and have fiber. Your body's muscles and your brain only run on glucose, a carbohydrate. And if you eat lots of apples and watermelon, that sounds…

I went whole foods vegan and cut out sugar, because I can go over and still lose weight. I cannot stand being hungry. May I suggest parceling out your meals so you have a bit to eat throughout the day? Also, try eating at least 2 servings of vegetables before the meals. That will fill you up and help you to not be hungry.…

The height you are makes a difference too. A person 5 feet tall losing 100 pounds or a 6 foot person loosing 100 pounds are totally different as far as the effect that the 100 pounds had on their bodies. The body can adjust to a 100 pound weight loss quite well, especially if one is young, as you are. I'm 100 pounds…

It is okay not to be ready. The shame is what keeps us sick. It is ok not to be ready to share what you weigh, with anyone. And you do not need to be ashamed of not being ready to share. What you weigh is your business. You don't have to tell anyone else and that is just fine. Practice compassion on yourself. And see the…

When I eat 2 servings of oatmeal in the morning, (old fashioned, extra added water, and then slow cooked with salt), I stay full for hours. I'm on 1200 calories a day too. I don't top them with anything but unsweetened soymilk. Their have been studies done that show that oatmealk keeps people full for hours, more so than a…

First thing I gotta say is you never looked anything but handsome. But you look totally amazing. Your hard work paid off. :smile:

I second this post. I went further than cutting out refined sugar. I also went whole foods vegan so I could eat more. :)

I put the food eaten at odd times that is not a meal under snacks, even if it is a whole meal. But, If I have not eaten breakfast lunch or dinner, I will put the meal under the empty spot, either breakfast, lunch or dinner. If I have filled up breakfast, lunch and dinner, I sometimes add the extra meal under those tabs…

I started at 246. For now, I do want to lose 2 pounds a week. 1200 calories is plenty for me, but not enough for you. My 1200 calories was based on my weight, (very obese, my age, and my fitness level) Am I right that you are new at this? When I started(the first 2 weeks), I also thought 1200 wasn't enough. I now see…

:laugh: Truer words have never been spoken!:laugh:

I'm with nearly everyone who answered on this one. I cut out refined sugar, but I do eat vegan and whole foods. I am always "over" in carbs according to my daily food plan on MFP, but I'm doing fine and losing weight very quickly. I feel and look so much better in 1 month I can't even believe it.

You are in a lot of pain right now, but you are just fine. There is nothing wrong with hurting or being confused at a time like this. I'm glad you shared. Because it helps to get it out there. His shame is about him, not you. If you find yourself taking on the his shame, get the help you deserve to let go and see this for…

Thank you for sharing this huge milestone. :) Cheered me right up. I can't wait to lose 20 pounds, and I will not be in a new 100 then. Because I started at 246, I have to lose 47 pounds to get under 200. But I know I will get there. And I'm an emotional eater and I don't worry about a few eating the wrong things times. I…

I went vegan, whole foods, and no refined sugar. I lost 11 pounds in the first 2 weeks. It was bloat. I'm losing weight just fine eating the way I am. And I cannot wait to get another physical in 2 months and see the results. I will post them here.

Check you out getting healthy in more ways than one! Good on you!

I am high carb, vegan, no refined sugar, and whole foods. Not a big issue switching. Losing weight and feeling great. Cannot weight to see my new blood tests in a couple of months. I will post the results from this lifestyle. I love being able to eat fruit and carbs to my hearts content. Not that atkins and ketosis are not…

That kind of comment, while disrespectful and unkind, truly is not about you at all. Sorry you have to deal with it. I hope you get lots of positive comments, especially on the board for your incredible accomplishment. You worked hard for your progress. I'm proud of you.

Sorry, but I giggled when I read that. (giggles more)

Ok, I've only been on the program of my new way of eating for a month, well actually since March, but the loss really picked up the pace this month with working with MFP. All I get from people who know me is, "What are you doing differently with your face?" "Is it new glasses?" I'm down from a high of 246 in March to 228…

I am a new vegan. I am not going to go full raw till 4, but I value the program highly. I have incorporated much more fresh fruit in my diet than every before. I just bought Freelee's book and I do think it works. I'm still working on the big diet change to vegan/whole foods/no refined sugar. But the fruit is wonderful. I…

Thank you for your kindness. Giving up never came up for me in the past or now. I don't diet. I never have. I'm not dieting on MFP. My really serious problem is that I just didn't know how to moderate. I still don't know how on my own. But now I have tools to keep going and to get back on track. I appreciate you for your…

I am now enjoying food again. I had lost the enjoyment of it too before I stopped overeating. Thank you for letting me gain mindfulness of another gift of recovery from my eating disorder.

I'm thrilled for you! What a long road and how well you have done! You were beautiful in your before, no doubt about that. But you look so much younger and so very beautifully healthy now.

I want you to know I rubbed my hands together with giddy glee over your HUGE accomplishment!!!!!!!!! Way to go for real:drinker: I'm not going to go under 200 pounds for a while. My starting weight was 246 and I'm down to 228. I'm going to be really happy to hit 20 pounds lost. Then another 20 pounds. (celebration), and…

Perfect answer :flowerforyou:

I gotta share that someone posted a thread something like, "Pasta, How I Loathe Thee". After reading through the thread about all the negative things people said about pasta, I really wanted some pasta. I ate pasta 2 days in a row. I don't have anything against whole grain pasta, in fact I have some in the cupboard and I…
