Hello, Yes I'm 5'1-5'2" ish... lol, with similar goals! Join with me on this journey if you'd like!!

I bought a Nesco one on Amazon and LOVE it!!

Their Edamame Hummus is AMAZING!!!! :)

Your calcium will be fine. Kale is a great food with just about everything in it!! A lot of people worry about Calcium... but when your body is more alkaline, you won't flush out the calcium like you do when your body is more acidic (meat-eating). If you eat enough variety you won't be depleted in vitamins & minerals. I…

Being Vegan is REALLY easy... there is a something for any possible meal you might want to create!!

So easy... I just make my own chips etc... get a dehydrator to help with the transition. At first you'll rely on nuts, avocados... but they became too heavy at times. There are TONS of recipes, and websites out there! It's pretty easy. Vegan is SOOOoooo easy to do, with being raw, you basically need to plan ahead of time.

Hello fellow Wonderful Vegans!! I've decided, or it's naturally occurring to become more raw with my choices. I'm wondering if anyone else is in the same boat? I'll see how it goes, I'm just seeing how all that processed stuff is turning me off right now. So I've been researching and studying like crazy about it all! Let…

Thanks so much for the article!! I want to try this!

It's a wonderful way to get cardio in and burn calories. They may not fall off immediately but keep it up and after a month or two you'll notice it. Get some good music...makes it fun!!

Yup!! I'm 5'2" also!! Feel free to add me, I also eat pretty healthy, Vegan, and have the same goals as you all. I'm very sllloooowwllyyy getting there. I wish I could jump start it or something??

Hmm, thanks. Yes, I believe the house is a sacred place. I'd have to get separate skillets etc... I hope someone would be open minded enough. Everyone I have dated has been pretty cool about the whole thing so far. I really couldn't handle dating someone I'd have to defend myself with all the time. I simply won't put up…

Firstly, we're super sweet people... that's why we're so compassionate. However when "meat-eaters" find it necessary to say things like "Maybe they're hungry." or "They need protein." It's misinformed degrading comments that will piss me off, all because I choose to make a smoothie instead of a steak. Perhaps if people…

I LOVE Genesis Bread!!

At very first I didn't, because I was not sure what to eat, but have since easily gained up to about 10ish pounds depending. It's really frustrating. It was just a change from vegetarian to vegan too... bummer.

What I've been using is Pea Protein!! I HIGHLY suggest it! I use NOW and throw a scoop into my smoothies, but it's tasteless so you can add it to anything.

Actually yes, I completely understand. There becomes a point where you realize, this is an unhealthy obsession with food. I know every calorie count of everything I eat. It became too much, to where I figured I'd just try to make healthier choices, and still live. Take a breather. You need to enjoy food, not obsess or feel…

Great job! This is also a great way to show people that it's not all about the scale ##'s.

I was going to post this too! This is definitely interesting, awesome that's he's doing this to learn a different perspective!!

I've just upped my goals because of this... no wonder I haven't budged and got cravings. Too low on my goals.

Thanks so much again, I'm reading it now! Awesome advice!

I tried this yesterday so we'll see. I'm also worried I won't get myself out of "spiking"...lol

Yes, I'd slowly uppen the calories... that way you'll see what calorie range will maintain, and which ones will start to add weight back.

I think it's a great idea ; )!! It's not hard at all, Veganism is a better choice, but to start Vegetarian is awesome!! It's too bad your family isn't supportive, perhaps you just need to educate them. You most certainly won't be depriving yourself of anything, in fact you'll be making yourself SO much healthier. Best of…

I'm right there with you Sugs!! I'm excited... my buyers remorse has faded into, I can't wait until it gets here!!

Okay, thanks... and that's what I woke up thinking.... how often will I really use it... and I figured the more I got into it the more excited about various recipes, hummus, icies, everything! I'd LOVE to know more about cashew cheese... sounds interesting. They had it on QVC yesterday for the best price I've found... the…

I agree... I think the more petite you are the shorter your stride... which makes their jog our run :(

Kristhin... thanks for posting... I wish they had chosen their words more carefully, and did more research.

Agree with all of you!! :smile:

Awesome!! We'll let you know if our group members are the same!! Thanks for doing this!!

Hey Felicia! I think it's great that you two are talking about diet and exercise. You really need to follow your gut on this one. I'm not sure how you're marriage is.... if he's a total sweetheart and could care less about the #, you could tell him. OR just tell him that you want that # private, but you could tell him if…
