Hyper-carb sensitive? Is there such a thing?
I've been vegetarian for about five years and vegan for two. The last two years I've had so much trouble losing weight even when I stay under my calorie goal. It finally occurred to me last week that maybe I was eating too many carbs, so I started eating two eggs for breakfast every day instead of the fiber cereal I was…

Cook at home or eat out? Which do you do more often?
We're restaurant dropouts. Since becoming vegan a couple of years ago, my husband and I have noticed that we never go out to eat anymore. I mean never. It's a good thing that I like to cook, but I would like a break now and then and there are so few choices, even though we live in a major metro area, it's just easier to…

Maybe at 52 I shouldn't eat my exercise calories...
..because I'm doing all the "right" things and I'm not losing weight the way I would have in the old days. I've averaged, at best 1/2 pound a week and now I'm in a holding pattern after six weeks. This doesn't seem right with all the exercise I've added to my life and the cut in calories. I think I should stick to the 1200…

C'mon.. be honest. Who's the person you most want to be envi
I have a colleague that I work very closely with. She copies what I do and what I wear and people often confuse us for this reason. The problem is that she's really abrasive personality-wise and I'm looking forward to looking better than her. I know that's really superficial and certainly not very nice, but it's part of my…

Don't read this if you''re easily discouraged...
I'm not posting a weigh in this week because there's no progress. 31 days and only 4 pounds. That's all I'm going to say except that it's very discouraging.

I think I had an NSV!
I was getting changed this evening and I noticed that something looked weird about my abdomen. It had a couple of strange "creases" in it where there never were any before. I called my husband to take a look and he thought it was pretty funny. He pointed out that what I was seeing was the beginning of muscles that I hadn't…

Are those "goal jeans" starting to fit or am I just stretchi
Do you have a pair of jeans or some other piece of clothing that's hanging there as your goal - the clothes you ultimately want to fit into? I do... and they're starting to fit! I can zip them now, though I'd feel really sorry for the poor things if I tried to wear them at this point. What I'm wondering is if they are…

Can you suggest a simple cardio exercise for limited space a
I have a very small apartment, limited time and limited space. I used a weighted hula hoop for 30 minutes a day and I'm looking for something else I can do in front of the t.v. while catching up on the news. Is jogging in place an effective cardio workout? I can't bring any equipment into the house right now. Any other…

Greetings from SoCal :-) Any other vegans out there?
Hello. I lost 50 lbs. in the last three years by getting healthy, going vegan... but I've been stuck with 25 lbs. to go. I think this will be the key if I can stick with it. Any other vegans out there?:happy:
