Hi! I'm 23 and have 50 or so lbs to lose- I have a 2.5yo and a 4.5mo old and had complications with both pregnancies- I've never really been in-shape and I look forward to getting there!

i actually did make the lentil sloppy joes and they were yummy :) I just copied that part from a msg i sent someone else lol

Yes! here's the links to the one's i use! Black bean burgers: http://www.eatliverun.com/boyfriend-approved-spicy-black-bean-burgers/ I added extra panko since i love crunchy :) Lentil sloppy joes: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/sloppy-sams/detail.aspx I haven't made it yet but my vegan friend says she makes it for all her…

and meat stays in the body a LOT longer which is why ppl feel so full from it...and since it has almost no fiber it moves incredibly slow through your system....so when you eat less meat and more plant based foods your system handles it better and is healthier for it :)

I rarely eat meats too but you do need to make sure you get protein from other things (I eat a lot of beans....I LOVE making and eating black bean burgers! and lentil sloppy joes!) or adding a protein shake...I'm not a vegan or anything although I've contemplated it...especially after reading the veganist and the kind…

I was in the AF for about 2 years and am still an AF wifey :)

beans are cheap and easy and very versatile! they are high in fiber so they keep you full and there are so many kinds you're bound to find some you like! I made black bean burgers and LOVE them! i for whatever reason prefer them mashed vs whole though lol and tomorrow i'm making lentil sloppy joes!

hi! I'm nursing an 18 mo old...if you search the foods list they do have the negative calories to add for nursing moms just search "nursing" or "breastfeeding" and add to your diary ...there is one for exclusive BF'ing and then others...I do the -300 one since my 18 mo old is not exclusively bf'ing anymore....I just…

i start getting short of breath and of course my heart is pounding (which i know is part of exercising lol but i can also tell when its pounding too much if that makes sense)...I'm ex-air force so although i am out of shape from having my son (he's now 18 mo) i'm not exactly new to exercising although none of my doctors…

i actually just thought of another question too...i know most people use heart rate monitors to determine how many calories they burn for something like a workout DVD and was wondering if there's another way to figure out calorie burn? i would think a monitor would be an inaccurate way to detemine calories burned for me??

yeah the first thing my doctor tested was my thyroids and they all came back normal as did my EKG and whatever else he tested for :)

I'm currently at 188 although it was an issue when i was at a healthy weight of 145 prebaby- I was obviously in better shape then but my HR was still always high- I'm only 22 yr old and my doctor(s) is/are unconcerned- he's done tons of tests and monitoring and everything comes back normal- it stills concerns me obviously…

hi! :D I'm 5"4' and my SW was 196 CW is 188 and GW is 145....I've only gotten down to 145 once and it was after i went through basic training (i was air force)....i stayed there for a few months and then stress helped put on 15 lbs....and i was in the process of losing that when I got pregnant with my son....in the last…
