Same thing. I had bad wrists so putting a lot of weight on them causes a lot of problems for me.

Yes! I do this. I use onion, potato, carrots, and beets. You can also take out the potatoes and drizzle balsamic vinegar on them before baking.

Kind of sounds like something is missing. Did he say anything else?

I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first.

I'm sorry to hear that. Almost ALL women gain weight from hormonal birth control (me included). There isn't a whole lot you can do besides keep doing what you are doing. I would measure yourself periodically though because you can also be carrying a lot of water weight as well.

Bingo. Couldn't have said it better.

I'd like to gain curves actually. My waist is fat which ruins the hourglass effect for me. Luckily unlike a lot of middle heavy ladies I don't have a flat butt. lol

Me too! I was dairy intolerant for awhile (couldn't even eat lactose free things) so I got into drinking soy, rice, and almond milk. Now I can't stand the taste and won't drink it even though I can.

It's quite easy to become fat while becoming a vegetarian. Most junk food doesn't contain meat so it's very easy to stuff yourself on it. Especially when you don't get enough protein.

I don't know, everyone knows the Olestra diet is the best way to lose weight fast! :wink:

Sweet potatoes get their flavor after they are baked though. Do they really taste like anything after they are juiced?

That happened to me. I'd work out for 20 minutes and have to rush to the bathroom. Horrible feeling. Turns out it was a combination of a bad diet (wayyyy too much fast food) and just being unfit. Eat better and lose some weight and it should go away. It did for me!

Yep, I like this suggestion. What about eating the same and just exercising more? I'm assuming of course you eat a normal amount of calories. :smile:

What about spinning? That'll work your entire legs down to your feet!

A sweet potato?? What are you using as a juicer? A woodchipper?

How about some fruit and cottage cheese? Oh, and yogurt! I mix oats and yogurt together for breakfast sometimes.

Oh man, I miss fresh tangerine juice and carrot apple juice. Now I want to buy a juicer...

I like Ensure. Don't do diet shakes though, they tend to be nasty. Especially Slimfast...

Or laugh and say, "a carrot? I need more food than that. I have TWO carrots!"

Look them dead in the eye and say "I'm sick of being a fat***". Then just keep staring. You've just made things so awkward that they'll never question your diet again. LOL

Goitrogens sounds like something from Star Trek.

Oh this is so creepy. I had a psychiatrist say the same thing to me! I told him I was losing weight and he looked me up and down and said the EXACT same words to me.

I have a similar device to a fitbit and I find that it overestimates with cardio and underestimates with weight training.

Oh man, this stuff is awful. Same here, I'm an ice cream lover and threw this junk out.

This. Anything to be next to David Duchovny. <3

I love your attitude! A lot of people would be freaked out by the gain and all depressed over it. Personally, I say enjoy yourself and just get back on track when you return.

Sure!

Is your recipe one or two servings?

I'm a vegetarian but you are welcome to add me.
