Vegan friends, please!
Transitioning to veganism after being vegetarian for almost 7 years. I'd love the extra help/inspiration of vegan mfp friends with open diaries. TIA

30 day shred - Jillian Michaels
Just started this today and wondering if anyone knows approx calorie burn? I know it would vary greatly from person to person and depending on how hard you went but just something rough...??

"Before" pic
I'm honestly thinking about printing out an old pic of me and putting it on my fridge as motivation. Is that weird? I think it'll work like a charm!

Extensor tendinitis
I'm a relatively new runner. Finished the c25k program and am now working on the 10k program. Last run was about 5 days ago after which the top of my left foot became sore. Google research has led me to believe it's inflammation of the tendons in that area. Other than ice/ibuprofen (which tbh I haven't been doing as it…

Winter running socks
Looking for advice on socks to wear while winter running. Preferably not with a crazy price tag (unless it really is worth it??) and no wool products. TIA!!

Exercises to lift breasts.
Do they actually work? If so, which exercises are best? TIA

Bras, bras, and more bras
I'm ECSTATIC that I'm shrinking in the chest area but man is it frustrating having to continually buy new bras. It'd be one thing if I could roam the discount bin at Victoria's Secret or buy cheapos from Walmart but those places don't carry the size that carries my ladies. *sigh*

Updated mfp app
I loved updating my weight with the scrolling bar at the bottom. I always sang the "mountain climber" song from price is right while I lowered it.

Flattering jeans
Ladies - what are your opinions on the most flattering jeans when you still have more of a belly than you would like?

I'm wearing a skirt!
Didn't know where else to put this so here it is. I wore a skirt tonight for the first time in...forever. I used to wear skirts constantly in my thinner days then hated the way I looked in any once I gained too much weight. Down 38 lbs and loving wearing fun clothes again! :) :):)

A runner, a cyclist, and a thumbs up...
Recently I was out for a run at my local park. I'm new to running. Doing the couch to 5k program. As I was jogging a guy on a bicycle passed me and as he went by he gave me a thumbs up. Is this a thing? Does it mean something? Because if so, I didn't get it!!

Nutra Vege Omega 3 Plant
Wondering if anyone has used this or something similar? It's an algae-based omega 3 liquid supplement. There's no caloric info on the bottle. I've contacted the company but they aren't getting back to me.

Frustrated :/
I was feeling so great about my progress. And don't get me wrong - 30 lb loss - super awesome. But then I went and tried on clothes and it made me feel like nothing has changed. Still feel so big. I've looked at progress pics and taken measurements in addition to the scale number so I know things have changed. And these…

Hair Loss
I feel like I'm losing more hair than usual. I'm now at 1500 cal/day, losing no more than 2 lbs/week. Protein levels are close to target (tbh I never try too hard to meet them as a vegetarian, so I could get a bit more...) Do you think this is any cause for concern? No problems with how I feel. I also kind of feel like I'm…

So stressed
Thank goodness for running. I mean, I've only started recently but I already feel like I'm becoming addicted to it if for no other reason for the stress relief. So tired of crappy people in my life who make plans and then when it comes to the day won't even respond to my texts. I swear it's grown ups acting like children.…

Headphones for running
After only three runs my headphones decided to quit. They were old and I think came with my blackberry? (Ok so they were very old! Lol) Do the new style earbuds stay in well while running or should I look for a different style? TIA!

Opinion on this past week please.
Hey everyone. Started my weight loss journey mid-February and am down 27 lbs. a few weeks ago I readjusted my goals so that my daily calories went from 1670 to 1530. When I began in February (and for most of the time thereafter) I was losing roughly 2lb/week. That started to slow down to maintenance but after the…

Lowering daily calorie limit.
I've now lost 22 lbs (yay me!) and have noticed the weight loss slowing. I'd like to adjust my total daily calorie goal so I'm looking for advice on how much. A percent of the current amount, maybe? My current goal is 1670 calories. TIA
-
How long until people noticed your weight loss?
In total I had about 50 lbs to lose, of which I've lost 17 (so 33 to go) and if I tell people this they respond with "Really? You can't even tell." It's driving me crazy!! It's not at all deterring me from my goal but it sure would be nice if people noticed the changes. :/

Measuring waist, hips, etc
I want to add body measurements to my progress but I feel like I won't know how to make sure I'm taking the measurements in the same place each time in order to have an accurate comparison. Any tips?

Broccolli - without the cheese sauce
Looking for healthy - yet still delicious - Broccolli recipes. If I eat it, it's with a homemade cheese sauce that adds almost 300 calories, so, kind of silly. Thanks!!

"Craving" a cheat day.
I've been doing so well for the past month. I haven't started working out - yet - but I'm down 8 lbs by watching the calories. I've been really craving a cheat day, though. Some pizza, maybe some Pepsi, some chocolate cake. Yep. Definitely want that. So, in your experience is it better to give in this time and then get…

Super hungry today!!
Every now and again (see:today) I have a day where, no matter what I eat I'm super hungry and I don't understand why. I could eat the same thing as I did yesterday, yesterday feeling full, today feeling hungry. Anyone know why??
-
Heart rate during exercise.
How concerned should I be with my heart rate while exercising (usually elliptical)? I have a faster than average heart rate as is which I'm sure isn't helped by my excess weight, so any standard target rate is usually below my rearing rate. Should I be concerned with a target heart rate or not? And if so, what should it be…

Books on nutrition
Hey everyone. I'm looking for a book or two on nutrition. The kind of textbook-like book one would find in a college course. It's so much easier for me to make the right changes to my diet when I understand the "why" behind it all. Not interested in online sources - just find them too cumbersome. Thank you in advance
