I stopped tracking the last time I was within a couple pounds of my goal weight. It's really common to lose more slowly when you get down to the last few pounds, so not tracking allowed me to stop stressing about eating perfectly and not losing....it also helps you shift into maintenance mode more naturally. I find…

Went plant-based vegan. Totally stopped my binge-eating in its tracks!

I normally use it in my breakfast protein smoothies -- makes them go a little further and adds a richer flavor. I also use it for cooking, moisturizing, and shaving.

I walk at 4.0 and run steadily at 6.0. If I'm doing intervals I'll run for shorter periods at 7-7.5. I always set the incline to 1.5%! And I run way faster outside than on the dreadmill.

When I was a new runner I had TERRIBLE shin splints. I took 4 months off from running to heal. Make sure you are stretching and icing after each run. Also, products like McDavid shin wraps and Zensah compression sleeves can be really helpful. I would also recommend strength training a few times a week to help strengthen…

age, height: 24, 5'1 weight, goal weight: 132lbs now, would like to be between 110-120 (I was happy at 118 last summer but wouldn't mind being even trimmer) calorie intake: 1,200-1,600 (I calorie cycle) exercise minutes/ type: 30-60 mins 5 days/week. I run 3x/week and strength train 2x/week. do you eat back exercise…

Didn't eat any of the junk at a work luncheon today! Going vegan has been SO helpful with my binge eating. I contributed a vegan dessert so I had a taste of that and left the rest to be eaten by coworkers (they loved it and didn't even know it was healthy).

I can't comment on the post-partum aspect of this, but I'll echo the others on the processed food & sodium :) I try to keep my sodium below 1,500mg (MFP has it set at 2,500mg by default). It's very easy to stay low if you cut out lunch meat and canned soups, veggies, etc. Even though I no longer eat meat, I'd recommend…

Today I will take in about 75g protein (intake is ~1,400 calories total). It all comes from: -Sunwarrior protein powder (1 serving) -Baby spinach -Powdered peanut butter (PB2) -Quinoa -Broccoli -Dry roasted edamame (this is soy, however) -Oatmeal with chia & flax seeds -Kale -Nutritional yeast (aka the best thing ever)…

I've been vegan for 22 days and vegetarian for about a year before that. I love the lifestyle! Anyone is free to add me to see my diary and get support!

I try to do the same, and yes I pee what feels like constantly! I am an elementary school teacher, so during the week I do not drink quite as much, as I can't have someone come look in on my class every 10 minutes ;-) As long as you are not *forcing* yourself to drink and can accomodate all the bathroom breaks, have as…

I'm a new vegan but am motivated and active! Feel free to add me :)

On the 1st and 15th of each month. Eventually I'm going to stop weighing altogether (whenever I am happy with what I see!)

There are many different attitudes on MFP regarding exercise calories, but you really have to figure out what works best for YOU! Personally, I always log exercise but usually don't eat back much if any of them unless I'm actually hungry. I'd also be careful with using the calorie expenditure listed on your elliptical…

Mostly vegetarian for the past year but recently transitioned to vegan (2 weeks today!) I've been a clean eater for over a year. :) Feel free to add me!

I have been totally vegan for a week now (before, I was vegetarian for over a year with a few stints of veganism). I don't really eat any processed vegan foods (like imitation meats, dairy products, etc). I eat clean -- try to stick to whole foods as much as possible. I do supplement my diet with a scoop of vegan protein…

I have a smoothie made with hemp protein powder (plus unsweetened vanilla almond milk, frozen strawberries, and baby spinach) for breakfast every morning. It's about 200 calories and keeps me energized all morning. :) I'm a dairy-free vegetarian so I stay away from whey and casein powders.

If your grocery store carries So Delicious products, check out their no-sugar-added chocolate coconut milk ice cream. 100 cal per 1/2 cup and totally delicious!

I'm in Northern Virginia....so far just a lot of rain and wind, but supposedly we're in for 70-80 mph winds this evening. Schools were closed today and I'm hoping to have tomorrow off as well ;-) (I'm a teacher.)

Just had a gait analysis done at a running store and purchased a pair of Adidas Supernova Glide 4's. I haven't run in them yet, but my usual mileage is around 15 miles/week.

Eating natural/whole/unprocessed foods. I avoid most things that come in a box or bag, but I do use egg whites from a carton, whey protein powder, store-bought nut milks, and the occasional Boca burger.

bump!!

I'm 5'1, almost 24, and started out at a HW of 133 around this time last year. Now I am 118-120 (depending on the day) and hoping to get to an UGW between 110-115. Take it slow and steady and the hard work will pay off!

Two hours and two minutes. (Half marathon training and it was pouring rain on my long-run day.)

I have had issues with binging in the past, and for me, the only way to prevent "overindulging" is to keep the junk food out of my house entirely. If I'm going to have a treat, I plan for it and get a single serving of whatever it is (or make sure enough people are around to finish it off quickly). It might help you to get…

My fastest mile is 9:05, but I rarely just run 1 mile. I'm currently training for a half marathon! My pace on runs shorter than 5 miles is about 10:15/mi, and 6-10 mile runs average about 10:50/mi.

This is my favorite smoothie: 8-10 oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1 scoop chocolate whey protein powder 1/2 to 1 tbsp dark cocoa powder biiiggg handful of spinach, maybe even two! frozen strawberries or blueberries if I feel like adding some fat: 1/2 tbsp coconut oil OR 1/2 a small avocado OR a spoonful of nut butter +…

All-natural nut butters (ingredients are usually just nuts and maybe salt) need to be refrigerated or else they'll spoil! Jif and similar brands are loaded with preservatives and other things that keep them shelf-stable.

- Unsweetened vanilla almond milk - Plain nonfat Greek yogurt - Apples - Natural peanut or almond butter - Spinach or kale
