Knee issues?
I've noticed my knees have become sensitive suddenly. I used to run and exercise regularly, and then took a long break because I was stressed out with school. Recently I have gotten back into working out with running and the elliptical, pilates ect. I don't think I'm over doing it, but I can't do these exercises that long…

Ladies..who else bulks up with weights (unintentionally)
I'm just curious who else had this problem. Me and my mom both do. If I do any weights, especially on my legs they just bulk up. I know "muscle helps you burn fat"...not so fast. Because even when I do keep to a decent diet and do strenght training the fat does not budge. It's like the muscle just pushes it out, like on my…

Low Fat?
So I've heard a lot of things about low fat diets and vegan diets being low in fat (if you're not eating a lot of processed junk food), so I was wondering if anyone watches their fat intake here that is vegan and if they've seen results? I'm doing that and recently I've been under on my fat, not by choice, I'm just eating…

Why do people get mad at vegan/vegetarians on mfp?
I'm wondering this. I am a transitioning vegan. I do not push my dietary/lifestyle choices on anyone. Will I tell them what has worked for me in losing weight? Yes. A vegan diet works for me. I have some food allergies and reactions, especially to dairy. Eating it made me very bloated and have sinus infection after sinus…

Why Pescatarian?
So I'm vegan, but I'm just wondering if some people who are pescatarian can explain why they feel it's okay to eat fish and why you decided to stop eating red meat, chicken, ect, but continue to eat fish? Was it a health-based decision? Moral? Religious?

I always wanted a lizard but my mom wouldn't let me have one. So when I moved out and had enough money I bought one. He is a crested gecko and about 11 months old. It is apparent he is a HE now.

weight loss stopped apparently..
So I went out of town recently for a minivaca and to get my piloxing instructor certification. I regularly exercised 5 days a week and stuck to my vegan diet. I left town for 4 days, exercised once, ate crap fast food most of the time and oatmeal with juice/coffee at the hotels, and come back and lost 3lbs, but then I go…

Why not Vegetarian?
So I wanted to ask why you are not vegetarian? I know more people that are vegetarian than vegan and some people still don't know what vegan entails entirely. Also did you start out as vegetarian or just go vegan?

Just proof..
I'm excited! Two people I know are going to try out veganism because they know I recently became vegan! Though I recently became vegan a couple of months ago and started my journey it has been my belief that choosing a vegan diet and lifestyle is a very personal choice so I have not pushed anyone to convert, though I have…

Vegan on the road?
As I mentioned before, I'm going on a trip with my family for a few days, unfortunately this also means attempting to be vegan on the road and out of a hotel. I plan on bringing my own travel friendly snacks like stashing some grapes in our cooler and bringing some nuts in my bag but eating out is where I seem to have the…

Protein Powder in Smoothie?
So I make smoothies often and got curious about shakes. So I bought some body fortress protein powder in chocolate peanut butter. It's not as bad as the Jillian michaels protein powder I had but it's not really good on it's own with milk. So I was wondering if it'd be okay in a smoothie? Generally I get most of my protein…

I have gone under lots of testing to try and determine a…

Dealing with eating at people's homes?
So I just switched over to veganism. I found out that dairy was causing my chronic stuffy,sticky mucus face. TMI I know. So I just decided to try veganism for health reasons but after looking more into it, also for animal reasons. Anyway. I am in college, but this week I'll be going to my parent's home for the summer and…

Ladies only, soy and breakthrough bleeding?
As per the title, ladies only. I am in the process of becoming vegan so I only have meat once in a awhile as I'm trying not to eat it anymore and I have been having meat subs like soy and I also use soymilk in my cereal. I don't think I eat too much of it as I usually only have a serving or two a day of soy, but today I…

can't exercise blood pressure medication
I was put on high blood pressure medication for a month to see if it works and they've taken blood to try and find a cause of why it's so high (155/111) and I'm young and only about 10lbs overweight with a bmi of 26.3ish. I recently switched to a vegan diet for my own reasons, but before that I wasn't eating horrible. It's…

Vegan Protein Powder?
Does anyone know of a good vegan protein powder? I am finishing up my non-vegan one, so I want to get a vegan one next. I have a sprouts near me so maybe something from there? I don't care if it doesn't taste amazing, as I generally add a vanilla protein to smoothies so I don't taste it much.

Rec Vegan Cheese Sub or Pizza?
Does anyone have any recommendations for a vegan cheese sub? Or rec any places that do a vegan pizza or frozen ones? I love pizza, but realized also that I cannot have cheese anymore at all, not even lactose free as the lactose isn't the only problem so I must seek vegan options. I'm fine with that but I was wondering if…

Nike Fitness Club anyone?
So I just started doing this on saturday and I love it! I like how there's so many different work outs and it tells you went to start and stop each work out and you can unlock special work outs. My legs are still sore from the other day even. I also ran so that might be part of why. If you don't know, nike fitness club is…

Skinny Cow Candies anyone?
I recently tried these and really like them. I think they're good for people who want candy but don't want to kill their day by chugging a snickers. Personally I rarely eat candy or sweets just because I don't really have a big taste for them, but these are good for when I do once in awhile. I found them at walgreens

Tips to lower high blood pressure?
I am open to any tips. I discovered it was high nearly two years ago and they said to keep an eye on it and exercise, diet changes and losing weight would probably help, if not they'd look into medication. At the time I was 168/170, 5'3" so I was pretty overweight for my height with a bad diet and didn't exercise much. I…

I ran for the first time in a year!
I ran for the first time in over a year after I had horrible foot injuries from stupid skechers running shoes. I had planter facitis that took months to heal. I finally bought some new running shoes, nike free run 2+ and ran 2 miles in 28mins. That's honestly better than I thought I would do. I've been working out since my…

Diet Pills and Caffeine!
I see so many posts on here about diet pills from new users and then regulars preach about how they make your heart race and are so bad for you. however, most diet pills are caffeine based. Caffeine, in itself is not completely bad unless you over-do it. So really people are just preaching about caffeine and how it "makes…

Anyone tried toe spacing?
I had a lot of foot issues last year , but unrelated to that my bunions seem to have gotten worse with working out. The right one will actually hurt on days I do a lot of walking now. Luckily I don't walk that much daily to cause that sort of pain, but they get irritated doing simple errand running around. I now wear a big…
