So I did it!

I can hide it till summer hehe

tofu and tempeh are awesome, and cheese is really good too as long as you eat a lot of legumes and veggies and stuff. edamame and almonds are my major snack, and if you like cottage cheese with tomatoes or strawberries or something... yeah. took me a while to develop a taste for cottage cheese. Popcorn is a good snack as long as you use olive oil and sea salt instead of butter. And I eat fish a couple times a month, cook it up in Bragg's liquid aminos with sage and garlic. That's a good way to fry tempeh or tofu too... soo nummy

 

Dean weighs less than me and this prettymuch what he does.

 

Maybe u found the protein filling?
Higher carbs and fats mean u aren't drawing into your fat reserves to lose weight.

 

yep. i was really only half-joking.

 

are you one of those people who stays indoors till it gets dark?

 

haha, what?

now that you mention it, i haven't seen too many overweight vampires...

but no, i do enjoy the sunlight. assuming i wake up in time.

 

Congrats on the 15lbs gone!

I hold my chub around my gut and face as well...first places that gain, and the last to go.

 

that's kind of what I meant actually.

I hope I have the strength and willpower to get out of bed in the next 10 minutes or so.

 

i'm always holding my chub while i'm posting on here...

 

:rofl:

 

I have never cooked with tempeh before. is it the same as satan? I really do want to get super healthy. I also noticed, I haven;t had a pimple in about a month either, even before my period, I didn't get any. I am convinced it's from cutting out the sugar.
I don;t want to pretend I was totally good though. I did eat an entire bag (the large size you get at the grocery store) of M and M's in a few days last week while pmsing.
I just want a long and lean body again...sigh. I promise, bikini by my b-day this year.

 

Thanks!
I have to admit Elle, I didn;'t post because I am intimidated, but I did read a lot of what you read and your tips and progress really inspired me.

 

No need to feel that way, but I understand.
And thank you! Glad I could be of help! :cheers2:

 

aww yeah my weaknesses are cheddar popcorn, chips and jalapeno jelly with cream cheese. I think tempeh is different than seitan, here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempeh
I love cooking it up with squash, garlic,coriander and soy sauce and eating it on a bed of spinach with fresh lime... mmmm

 

Probobly. I switched from coffee cake, donuts or biscotti for breakfast to balance bars. Half the calories and I end up full until about noon.
I had been really thin my whole childhood and teenagehood and my mom raised me vegan, so I had no idea how to eat normaly, you know? It just caught up with me. i am really embarassed at how bad I let it get. i have no medical excuse or anything, I just let myself go. Never again!
SOme of the pictures I have from over the winter are just so arghhhh...I want to crawl out of my skin.
I wish we took other pics besides foot pics at the dead show so i could see if I notice a difference yet.

 

Thanks! Thank you for the correct spelling too, and for not letting me call it 'Satan' anymore .

 

do u eat fish and meat now?

I know vegetarians and I just think "fuck I'd need 10x the protein they have..."
( weight training etc)

Altho vegetarians can be very healthy.

 

Good for you!

It's amazing how good it feels to work out, isn't it? I pretty much haven't worked out in weeks, today went to the gym, ran 2 miles and did 2 miles on the elliptical, and I feel amazing. like all of my anxiety and negativity has been temporarily lifted.

Anyway, great job. Keep it up and make sure you don't get those "I lost 15 pounds, I can afford to eat a brownie sundae" thoughts, because they will have you back where you started!

:cheers2:

 

I feel much better with out the soda, I'll tell you that... unforunately I have slowly weeded out booze, but TCF takes up the slack, he's a team player.

Water and lemon is what I always order at resturants.... it's also free.

You'd be shocked how much I weigh and how big I really am... most of my pictures are face pics...

 

YES

I drink too much booze, that's ultimately my downfall I suppose. it also makes me lazy. I've weighed 15 lbs less than I weigh now, but I've also weighed 10 lbs more. So it's progress. And what I'm drinking makes a huge difference. I don't think I'll be drinking any more Irish Car Bombs
