Favorite plant-based go-to recipes? (Especially easy ones!)
Hi everyone! So excited to be here. I've been WFPB since May 2019, so just over 2 months. It's delicious and I feel so, so much better than I have in a long time. I'm also pairing it with exercise and I have to say, I feel about a decade younger than my actual mid-thirties chronological age. :) What are some of your go-to…

Not counting calories and maintaining weight
For the first time ever since I was a kid, I've been successfully maintaining my goal weight without counting calories. I'm basically just eating when I'm hungry, only eating whole food plant based, and exercising 5-6 times a week (cardio about four times a week, and two strength days). It feels so freeing to not have to…

Looking for WFPB friends!
Hi! Would love to add anyone who's whole food, plant-based (or looking to get started)! I have a diary I keep open to friends and I'd love to see what yummy things other WFPB peeps are eating. :)

Samsung Galaxy Active2--How to track fitness class?
Hi everyone, I recently got the Galaxy Active2 and really love it so far. However, I'm at a loss with how to track my fitness class, which is an hour-long mix of HIIT, resistance training, and general cardio and core. I've tried the circuit training setting, but I'm pretty sure it's not recording the calories correctly…

What time of day do you prefer running?
I'm curious about this! I'm a morning runner (and exerciser in general), but my husband far prefers the afternoon. Also, I'm running on our local school's track but there were far too many people for my liking at 10 AM...thinking about going earlier. If you run on a school track, what time do you find it to be less busy,…

20 lbs (and counting) in 3 months
At 5'4" and 152 lbs, I wasn't obese, but I had inched over into the overweight category. Then, back in May, I read How Not to Die by Michael Greger and realized how I was eating had contributed to my yo-yo dieting all these years. I've been eating whole foods plant based for the last three months and I've lost 20 lbs, and…

What's a good goal for me?
Hi everyone! I'm doing C25K three times a week, and currently my daily calorie goal is set to 1200 calories to lose 2 lbs/week at a lightly active level. The problem is I'm hungry all the time and I don't think 1200 calories is enough. What's a good caloric goal to still lose weight but eat an appropriate amount for the…

Any arm challenges going on?
Does anyone know of any arm toning challenges that are going on right now? I'm not even sure how to search for something like that. :)

Anyone thinking about Thanksgiving yet?
Just curious, how do you guys plan to not overeat/overindulge? We will be going over to my in-laws', and I'm a little worried! Even though I don't eat turkey, I seem to always find sides and desserts to pile on my plate. :/

Annoying plateau
I've hit a weight plateau...argh! I'm not losing any weight, but since I began running about a month ago, I can tell I've lost inches. I've had to tighten the armband of my phone holder and my running shorts almost fell off me today. So I guess I'm losing inches but not showing it on the scale. Some info: I'm on a 1200…

Are holiday foods/sweets a challenge for you?
I know it's a little bit early to talk about the holidays, but since we're talking about Christmas weight loss goals... :) I recently read this article about how to resist overeating during the holidays and found it really interesting. I don't care much for holiday dinners, but the SWEETS slay me every year. I'm going to…

Bulky key fob woes
What do you guys do with your bulky key fobs? I have one of those huge ones with my car remote on it, as well as my house key, car key, and pepper spray. I've been holding it in my hand, but it's sort of a pain. Any ideas?
