Chickpea Cookie Dough (dessert hummus)
So, I'm sure somewhere at sometime, someone posted something like this on here, but I'm not going to go through the pages to find one. Here's a recipe for chickpea cookie dough, aka a dessert hummus, which is high in protein and relatively healthy for a little sweet fix. The website I found it on a while ago…

I'm getting married in May. May 4, to be specific (Star Wars day..."May the fourth be with you!").

We live in southcentral PA, so somewhere…

NSVs tonight!!
So apparently my body is liking this whole new workout/weight loss thing. Here's how my evening went: -Walked my dog in the snow and wound up jogging for half of it, in snow boots & jeans!

Wanting fiance to get healthy too...help!
So, my darling fiance and I do not eat the same. I don't expect us to since I'm vegan and he's full-on omnivore. And yes, that does pose challenges, but he's willing to eat anything, so he is mostly a vegetarian by default when I cook. He wants to eat healthier, mainly involving less processed foods, which is great,…

Not as hungry: good?
Lately, I haven't wanted to eat as much. I get full a lot faster, but definitely still eat enough cals per day (at least around 14-1500, but my goal is set around 17) I'm hoping it's just that my stomach is shrinking so I don't need as much and have adjusted to having a more regimented calorie intake. So...good thing, yes?…

SIL's new website--raw foods
Hi there! So, my (soon-to-be) sister-in-law just started up her own website about raw/vegan foods. She is raw vegan because of multiple food intolerances and has had quite a journey figuring out what she can/should eat. I think she did a GREAT job on the site and I'd love to help spread the awesome information she has on…

Asthma and Exercise
I've had asthma since I was 10. Around the same time, I started on a swim team and was on various teams until I graduated high school. Swimming helped keep things under control since that's probably the best sport you can do for breathing control. Now, I'm 25 and working to lose weight that I've had on me my whole life…

New & want friends!
Posted last night, but it seems to have gone mostly unnoticed. I definitely want some friends on here so feel free to add me! I can be a pretty good motivator (I think) because I'm tough, yet positive! :) I'd like some people to share the journey with to keep me going, too!

Another new kid
Hi there! Just joined tonight because a friend of mine is doing well with this. I've been attempting to lose weight, kind of doing ok, but a little extra push is needed! I did so well with going to the gym quite frequently a couple months ago (went 4-5 times a week, usually an hour each time), but with the holiday season,…
