Was in BC...been in the USA for a bunch of years.

I've used Orgain for years. I like it.

So I stopped eating meat around 2011 but continue to eat fish, eggs, and dairy. I'm considering transitioning entirely to plant based. I was searching around the forums and found this thread so I'm following this with interest.

I stopped eating meat around 2011 although I still eat fish, eggs, and diary. As of late, I'm considering transitioning over to an entire plant based diet.

There is no good nor bad, only thinking makes it so.

I agree with the SMART framework. I'll add that consistency, perseverance and patience is fundamental to the process and lack thereof is the number one reason for falling short. In my own experience, the primary obstacle to long term success has been the eventual lack of adherence to the plan and/or giving up. While I was…

Very inspirational. Great work everyone and congrats!

Diets and or whatever framework or product, typically cause deficits and sometimes we go off the diet ie deficit and we gain. Anyway you slice it, any…

Although scales are only part of the equation in the journey, I do recall one digital scale that would give several slightly different readings. I used to average it out over three attempts. My new scale is rock solid. One weight no matter how many times you jump on it...during the same weigh in period.

To all whom have posted...fantastic job! Excellent results. You should be proud of your accomplishments. WTG. Inspiring to be sure.

Happy almost the weekend everyone.

Yes mask up.

Good job!

Keeping an eye on this. Would love some recipes.

Things like that are difficult to hear. It's feedback and can be utilized as useful information that propels you toward a different direction if you want to make any changes. As others have said, don't be discouraged and don't be down on yourself. It may be a bell that awakens and promotes change.

I moved from BC to AZ.

Schwinn 270 actually. We like it. Upgrade is in the distant future.

We have a Schwinn 230 recumbent bike.

Looking at 117 here today. Pool time!

Chilling because we can't get our crap together with this Covid19 problem.

Former BC'er here.

I'd feel right at home.

Me too.

Cool cat

We got to 109 F here in AZ.

Lol at the heading...welcome to the gotta do better than this club. Yes, finding motivation is key.

Which is the Trader Joe's version?

I've been eating them for years. They are good. Something was changed in their burgers but they are still good. Higher on the sodium count but taste good.

That looks good. I'll have to try this. Are you using pink or red salmon?

Really great story! Congratulations!
