I'm not sure what's all been said here. I didn't read through all the replies. But I've been a vegetarian just a little shy of two years and now I'm on day 4 of the 21 day vegan kick start. I'm planning on staying on a plant based diet after the 21 days... this is just how I'm getting started I guess. I've tried a couple…

holy moly! You look incredible!

Wow! You look amazing! What an inspiration you are! Great job!

I just schedule it in my day everyday. I used to try to work around my schedule but that never worked. Now, working out is just something that needs to be done to take care of myself (and my family)... like eating healthy or brushing my teeth. And it's become quite rare for me to miss a workout. Next to my kids, taking…

no, fruit is very good for you. I don't track my sugar because i try to eat a lot of fruit to keep my sweet tooth under control.

No, you're certainly not the only one. I've been through that several times. This time is different. This sight, my mfp friends and my family are helping me change my lifestyle... even my way of thinking about food and exercise. I've lost 15.5. pounds and have gained much much more. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!! And the more support…

Awesome!

Here's what I do. I keep either Healthy Choice or Amy's Organic frozen entrees in my freezer all the time... I eat them quite a bit. Because on a crazy day or night when I'm thinking we could grab a cheap pizza or just because I'm feeling lazy or whatever, I'll microwave one of those and throw in lots of veggies or a nice…

hi there!!! I was in the same boat and then my brother introduced me to mfp!! AND I LOVE IT! It is so motivating and it's easy to track your food and exercise. I've lost 14 pounds and have no intentions of quitting... ever!!! What has helped me is to think of it as not losing weight or even getting in shape but more…

Keep up the great work!!! It will all pay off for all of us!

Very good job!!! It's such a struggle to stay on track around things like that! Great planning! Good job keeping your goal in mind!!!

YAY YOU!

YAY! It feels so good when other people notice all of your hard work! And does give you a little bit more of a push!

Great job!!!

You look fantastic!

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a pair of jeans that my husband bought me our first Christmas together... a size 6. I can't wait to slide those on again!

I plan breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then, I work with in the leftover calories for snacks.

I just started using a protein powder just about everyday about 12 days ago. I'm using Green Foods True Vitality. I blend it with 2 bananas, ice and a cup of water. It comes in Vanilla, Chocolate or unflavored. I've used the vanilla and chocolate so far. It's not bad tasting and it really satisfies me in the morning. It…

Good Job! That's fantastic!

I'm not a vegan (yet) but I'm a vegetarian and my husband is a vegan and we get all kinds of people telling us all sorts of stupid crap... people we know and people we have never seen before. I just usually look at them like I'm lost in a daze and don't understand a word they're saying. They shut up eventually. And I go on…

Wowza! I love it when people tell me their opinion on what I'm eating... because it's their business not mine and it really affects their life. :) He's a dumb *kitten*...

Fantastic NSV!!! GREAT JOB!!!!

I also seem to be lacking in iron. I wasn't aware of it until I started logging in MFP. I still crave seafood/fish after a year. I'm not sure why. Congrats on going veg. It makes you feel so good to know you're on your way to healing your body, helping the environment and the animals.

Good deal! I've been a vegetarian for a little over a year. I'm looking forward to getting some meal ideas, sharing stories, etc...

YAY YOU! I know that felt wonderful!

You are beautiful!

Thanks! I've had a picture of this ring in my head for quite some time. I think it would be a great reminder of what I accomplish.

You look amazing! Great job!

love it! I have my eye on a big butterfly (emerging from the chrysalis) tattoo on my back when I get close to my goal. It'll be my first one as well! Congrats!

I want to do something nice for myself every 10 pounds. Things I've always wanted but have never done... 10 ~ a pedicure/manicure (only a half a pound away) 20 ~ a facial 30 ~ a massage 40 ~ a "promise" ring (a promise to myself... to love myself) 50 ~ a big ol' butterfly tattoo on my back 60 ~ NEW CLOTHES!
