Vegan/Vegetarian
Hi there! I'm Amanda. I've been using MFP for a couple years, but as you can see, I tend to take year long breaks. I'm working on my weight loss again. I started Shakeology 2 weeks ago in addition to their 21 Day fix program. It's all about portion control and eating unprocessed foods, which is helping a lot. I've been a…

I Quit Smoking - Now I can't lose weight!
I quit smoking December 8th. I started working out 4-5 times a week and eating between 1200-1300 calories a day in January. I lost 4lbs week one. Since then? NOTHING. It's driving me insane. I saw my doctor today about it, hoping to get on phentermine to boost it. He was not into giving me that because of the possible side…

Vegans and Protein.
Hello! I've been vegetarian since about 1998 at the age of 13. I didn't do it for ethical reasons because at that age, I really didn't get it. The thought of eating flesh just grossed me out! I relied heavily on pasta, pizza, veg based soups, salads, cheese sticks, fries, etc. Basically all fatty carbs (except the salad…

Macros
I see a lot on here about "macros". I see that it has to do with how much protein, carbs, fat, etc you intake? Is that correct? What exactly are Macros?! Thanks!

Vegan Protein Powders
Hi everyone! I'm looking for a healthy and tasty vegan protein powder for my morning shakes. (soy free, too) I hear hemp protein is great for you. There is another one out there with hemp & pea protein..wondering if that's any good. I looked into Vega One, but it only has 10 servings and it's not cheap. Any suggestions??…

I keep falling off the wagon...Here we go again..
I'm 28 and I would like to lose about 60-70lbs. I lost 35lbs in 3 1/2 months about 2 years ago. I felt so good! I was getting so many compliments and my clothes fit better. I felt really great. Then I hit a plateau. I had also just quit smoking, which my doctor told me slowed my metabolism down drastically. I slowly lost…

What is your daily calorie allowance?
This question is mainly for women! I was wondering what your daily calorie goal is. Also, please include your height, how much you work out, and, if you're comfortable, how much you weigh. I think I'm eating too few calories but I'd like to see what others are doing! Thanks ladies!

In Shape Boyfriend is losing weight. Not me.
I feel like I've struggled with my weight for years, especially within the past 6 or so. In December, I quit smoking and at the end of January, I decided to get myself in shape. My goal is to get to about 150 by July. (that isnt going to happen now.) Things haven't been going as planned in the weight loss department. A…

Cardio AND Weight Training? Or just Cardio?!
Hi there, A little background - I have about 50-60lbs to lose. I've been doing the elliptical for 30-45 min 4x a week. I've also been doing some arms workouts and lunges. My issue: I haven't lost anything in over a week. I've stayed the same. Some may say i've gained muscle and in fact, lost fat. Should I be focusing on…

I don't know what happened! I lost 4lbs last week and this week, it said I gained 2! Then 15 minutes later, I check the scale again - it said I only gained .4. What is going on?!?! I've been sticking to my calories, eating a lot healthier than I have in the past, and i've been going to the gym 4X a week. I'm really bummed…

Vegan Black Bean Soup
I LOVE this soup..and there are only a few main ingredients. It's very filling and full of protein. I make big batches of this so I can bring it to work or have as leftovers for dinner. Another great thing is that it tastes great cold, too...as a dip. It thickens up and becomes a great dip. 3 29oz cans of Black Beans 3…
