Dehydrator?
Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and not totally raw but I like to incorporate as much as I can. Do you all have dehydrators? If so, can anyone recommend a cheap, starter brand? Thanks!

Change of plans
I had planned to do a week of juicing/smoothies only but it just doesn't feel great to me. I'm eating fruit all morning, juicing/green smoothie for my afternoon meal and a light, grain free, primarily veggies dinner. I'm also practicing eating only when I'm hungry, not to satisfy other needs. I've lost a little over four…

Starting today!
Beginning my day with some yummy juice! Although, I guess it's a smoothie. I'm making it in my blender and not going to strain this one. Wish me luck!

How much prouce?
I got thinking this morning about the amount of fruit and veg my family of four consumes in a week. Between our two small children, my husband and me, we have consumed 4 bananas, 3 apples, a pint of raspberries and one of blackberries this morning. Aside from some almond milk or coconut yogurt, that was our breakfast.…

Veggie bashing
Oh my goodness, I am so sick of seeing nasty stuff on the boards. I'm not a vegan who preaches at people but I do share information with people who are interested. I'm really tired of hearing people knock all veg*ns as a whole. Like in any group, there will always be those who rub people the wrong way, but FFS, there are…

Losing faith
Morning, sorry for the draggy post. I've never had as much trouble as I am since becoming vegan at losing weight. I absolutely own that there's not enough exercise but I'm gaining!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: I am going to do a cleanse this weekend and hope that will start things. I know from past experience I can lose fast on a…

Insanity?
Is anyone doing insanity/have done insanity? I just started a 60 challenge tonight. Wowza! I'm curious to know what kind of results people have been getting. :bigsmile:

First year!
So over the last year I have transitioned to being vegan, with the odd dairy slip thrown in. This is going to be my first full year of being vegan. Can't wait!

Caesar salad dressing"
Woohoo! I found a vegan Caesar salad dressing and it's actually pretty good. If anyone is interested I'll post the website. And I just found out that my friend who is vegan and sells organic, vegan goods online now has a raw, vegan form of nutella. I haven't tried it. It it sounds delish. She's also selling cashew cheese…

Vegan, new to MFP
Hi All! I'm a brand new MFP'er and thought I'd introduce myself. I've been vegetarian for about a year (although I rarely ever ate meat before that anyway) and eat a primarily vegan diet now. I also have PCOS. I'm hoping to lose quite a bit of weight. I keep hearing that vegans drop weight naturally. I eat a very clean…

Juicing - calories?
Hi all, I like to juice and use a variety of vegetables and fruits (including but not limited to kale, spinach, beets, apples). I don't consume the pulp (although I did just find a cool recipe for vegan juicer pulp muffins that I might try. I put the calories down today for each fruit/veg in its whole state, even though I…

Clean Eating, vegan style?
Is anyone following Tosca Reno's clean eating plan? It relies heavily on a mix of protein and carbs. I love the ideas but not sure I can do it effectively as a vegan. I have seen one meal plan that way but I don't want to endlessly repeat the same week of food. It's turning out that all the books that have said "the weight…

First NSV!
I'm new here but wanted to share my 1st NSV! Someone stopped me today and asked if I'm losing weight. I really haven't lost much but I'm wondering if I have toned up a bit since I've been exercising. Either way, I'll take it! :laugh:

MFP predictions?
I see each time I complete my diary how much I will weigh in five weeks. The number is obviously always a bit different. Since I haven't been doing this for five weeks, I'm curious. Have you found the MFP predictions to be true?

Edema after exercise?
I'm finding that every time I exercise (or do hot yoga or go in a sauna), even if I feel well hydrated, my hands and feet get really swollen. Is this something that is common? Do I have to drink even more water?? :grumble: TIA! Amy

HRM and calorie burn?
Me again. :tongue: I do a lot of DVDs at home because it fits into my schedule. I can't figure out what to classify them as. I like the new series by Bob Harper the best and they tend to be a combo of cardio and strength. I'm open to suggestions. I've logged them on mfp but I'm not sure they numbers I get back are…

Good morning!
Hello all, I'm new to MFP and sort of new to veganism so I thought I might find some like-minded souls here. Have a great day! Amy

Increasing Calories?
Hello! I'm a newbie to MFP, I've been doing it only for a couple of weeks. So far, I've gained weight! I'm wondering if 1200 calories is just not enough? I don't get a whole lot of sleep which I know isn't great for weight loss but, getting more sleep isn't up to me (it's up to my two year who has developed a love of 4:30…
