I was really disappointed to find this out as well. It's just like the veggie cheese in the produce section at my grocery that also has casein. Wtf?! Who are they gearing that towards? I've read labels for a long time, but yeah it has gone to a whole different level!

I am completely plant based, and my diary is open. I'd be happy to send you recipes for anything you see that looks good to you. I'd recommend checking out the Happy Herbivore, Team Vegan and MFP Vegetarian groups on here. Vegan is not a diet though, it's a lifestyle. No animal products used for anything. It's not a…

I'm sure it's already been said, but please don't back to that idiot. I lost quite a bit of weight when I was still an omni and during my transition, but since I have gone completely plant based in the last 2 months I have been able to further reduce my body fat significantly after being in a "plateau" for a few months. I…

I'm actually drinking a cup green tea with pomegranate right now. Bigelow makes green tea with several flavors including that and mango (my 2 faves) and also peach and wild blueberry with acai. It does help me keep hunger at bay for a short while. So like today, I got a cup at 2 so I could get myself to hold off on my…

Ha! Imagine living down here. I haven't worn my hair completely down all summer. For the first year at my job, a few people would comment how my hair looks different every day. I guess they're just used to it now.

I've never had anything like that happen, but I know it must have been very scary. I second having your levels checked. You could have an underlying condition. While I always eat breakfast and bring food for longer rides, I ride 20ish miles a few times a week completely fasted with nothing but water for the ride and only 6…

Ooh, I see a few good ideas I'd like to try. Here is my delicious contribution... I got the recipe here: http://www.sugarfreemom.com/recipes/healthy-pumpkin-pie-custard-gluten-free-low-carb/ I made a few changes, and it really is WAY better cold. It was good warm, but I could taste the stevia. But cold, omg it tasted just…

QFT I'm also on the spectrum, and I'm married with kids and have a full time job with a commute...so I know all about overwhelming. No matter the needs of your family, you should always make time for yourself. If mama isn't happy, no one is happy! Sometimes it just takes a lot of trial and error to figure out what works…

Well now I feel even better about myself and the guys I ride with after all that pretentious *kitten* clownery:laugh: . I only have one bike:cry: , I usually dress like a racer even though I have no intention of ever being in an actual race, some of my best training has been during the times that I was the one yelling "I'm…

Wrong! I do extensive amounts of cardio (road cycling) as my primary focus, and I have not decreased my muscle mass. I have lost significant inches in that area and all over the rest of my body through diet and cardio. I am more naturally "muscular" than most women, and I do some strength training. But the "toned" look…

This!!! I absolutely cannot believe that so many people have said they don't wash their workout clothes every time they wear them. I would rewear a pair of jeans, and I might even rewear a nice regular bra that I didn't sweat in. But if you're working out and your clothes are not sweaty, you might be doing something wrong.…

This!!! I do ride solo a lot, but I don't do time trials or triathalons so I would never consider them. And I defo won't ride with anyone using them. I wear a pair of gel padded Specialized Body Geometry gloves that are the best I've ever found for me, and I use Lizard Skins 2.5mm bar tape. My stem is the one thing that…

I think gloves are a must, even without carpel tunnel issues. You get a better grip, the padding definitely helps the comfort level, and if you ever fall it will save your skin. My first pair a little tight and seemed to add to the numbness, so now I make sure they are just slightly loose around the fingers. Imo a proper…

So glad to hear this wonderful news! I'm sure getting some time on the bike again will be a great stress relief, although it might add some concern for your wife. Take it easy but enjoy yourself :flowerforyou:

Sorry hit quote instead of edit.

I can't speak for him, but I would think that it took a lot of love and great courage on your husband's part to speak up. Don't just look at this as a matter of how you look. Feeling uphappy with oneself for any reason greatly affects how we treat others and approach situations. Being uncomfortable with yourself means you…

As an Autistic and "extraordinary" adult, I urge you to end your support for Autism Speaks. I profoundly appreciate your interest in supporting the autism and broader disability communities.

[/quote] Herein lies what is likely the only "advantage" to being a woman in a male dominated sport...I am 33rd with 18 QOM's :tongue: [/quote] Okay, 33rd on the ladies only chart. But 200th overall?! :blushing:

Both routes look awesome! I would love to get to do that. And I agree with Allen. You have a whole month...no telling what you'll be ready for after the challenge. It looks like there should be a point you'll come to where the routes split. No reason you really have to decide your distance before that point. Hope you have…

How scary indeed! Praying for your continued recovery KJ. Thanks for sharing all the details. I'm so glad to hear you got proper treatment before things got any worse. Take care of yourself and make the most out of your rest time. Eagerly awaiting updates on your well being.

Yeah this stuff did continue on through the early 80's. I was born is 75, and I spent a great deal of my early years laying on the back dash of cars where the music was louder and I could see the sky. And I remember having a giant Plymouth where my little bro who was born in 81 would stand up in the seat while my mom was…

I'm in too! And I wouldn't mind 334 again, but whatever. TBY Edit - Confirmed

Now that is determination! Congrats on becoming an Ironman. I hope to be able to say that one day.

I've always stayed away from deli meat because of the sodium but mostly because of the nitrates. The grocery store I go to has in-house, unprocessed roast beef and turkey that is really good. But it's so easy to bake chicken breasts for 30 min at 450 and save for leftovers and sanwiches and salads. I also regularly roast 2…

I notice changes in myself way before others notice, which is natural I guess, but sometimes people are unsure about saying something. My husband said early on that he could tell in my face, but no one else really said much until I lost about 20-25 lbs and bought some new clothes that fit better. I too hope you're doing…

Just when I though you couldn't get any more awesome after your post about cookies, you've gone and out done yourself. If only all women could love themselves enough to respect and admire others doing things their own way. And you are looking amazing!!
