I am vegan and get my protein from nuts and beans. AND whole grains. I actually do consider oatmeal to be a high protein food.

What a TERRIBLE idea. Please don't tell your loved ones that they are overweight unless they ask for your opinion about their weight, and even then, tread carefully.

I'd say that it's nearly impossible to get every macronutrient perfectly, and would be obsessive to do so. Just focus on getting close to them, but mainly worry about the calories.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I think I'm an 8.5

Agreed, 100%.

Thanks for the luck! I need it!!! Midnight study sessions with diet coke and redvines are OK this time of year.

I love it! I'm working on it right now as well. The important thing for me is to not think about it as another diet, so I don't call it "Intuitive Eating" I just call it listening to my hunger signals. It's refreshing to not worry about calories. I have tried and FAILED at intuitive eating in the past (gained 9 pounds in 6…

Thanks for sharing this article! I love when I read things that I agree with, it gives me the warm fuzzies. :heart: :smooched:

One day won't blow it for me. However, based on past experiences, if I allow myself "one day" for T-Day and X-Mas, it usually becomes "one week" and that's where I run into trouble!

Mine, too! I'm moving there ASAP after I graduate from my in-state tuition college.

I go to the University of Memphis. It's a pretty nice school, but would I go here if it weren't for the appeal of in-state tuition? Probably not. That being said, I love my school because it took me a long time to make it to this point in my life. (((school))) Where I'm going to law school- Columbia. :heart: Yes, this is…

I am guilty of saying this. I probably shouldn't have, because it definately is offensive in the way I have used it! This was behind people's backs, if that makes it any better (probably not).

breakfast- oatmeal with peanut butter snack- fruit lunch- whole grains, beans, veggies, evoo snack- fruit or crackers dinner- same as lunch (different variety) snack- different every day

I'm loving reading this thread! I'm white and my boyfriend is black. And there aren't many interracial couples in Memphis, so it's lovely to "meet" all of you. :flowerforyou:

As of now, I'm saying that I won't be logging, but it's such a habit I probably will.

I've had overweight doctors tell me to lose weight, and that didn't bother me... so I doubt that an overweight or out of shape trainer would bother me, either. We are each on our own journeys!

I'm pro-choice in this matter, too.

I believe in it. I guess that I've read enough about it that I have always assumed it was fact, and cannot understand why it's a theory after all the proof that I've seen.

I guess that we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. I'm not going to change your mind, and you're not going to change mine. But please leave my boyfriend out of it.

It's not very funny at all that I am taking this position. I am sick of people acting as if smoking pot recreationally is some huge civil rights issue. It offends me that you have put interracial dating/marriage into the same category as lighting up a dubie (sp?). NOT the same thing. But as I said, I'm not AGAINST it. I…

I just found this site- http://www.hundredpushups.com/ I'm thinking about trying it!

"real" push-ups? Probably none. I'm pathetic, but would love to start working towards a goal like yours! Well done!

You're right, you can. But it's illegal so you probably shouldn't. I simply don't see the point in legalizing recreational marijuana. But if it ever becomes legal, I will support your right to smoke it. I just don't care enough about the rights of recreational pot smokers to be actively for the legalization. I'm not…

WOW this is cool, thanks for sharing! I've been using old-school flashcards, but this will save me time. :-) I am not a great studyer, all I do is re-read things and sometimes I do practice exams if I can find them online. If I know that the professor loves to do multiple choice exams full of key terms, that's when I rely…

I guess that I just don't care. If you choose to use a drug that is illegal, then that is a crime. And I don't see why it shouldn't be. I'm pretty indifferent about the matter, really, so if it ever becomes legal, fine. But for now it's not, and I'm perfectly okay with that.

I agree that it should be legalized for medicinal reasons. That is not what I meant. I was talking about those who use it recreationally.

I hardly think that marijuana is a human rights issue. There really is no comparison between these two things in my opinion.

Hello! My diary is set to friends only, and it's far from perfect... but it's always vegan!

Every little bit helps! Why not start small, like Meatless Mondays? :heart: Then maybe start having vegan dinners every day. If you LOVE eating animal products, then a lifetime of never eating them isn't very realistic unless you REALLY want it. I say start small, and see what works for you.
