    Vegetarian/vegan sources of Protein

    Hi Nightwishes, I once tried sparkpeople during a couple weeks and it was pretty good;) Don't worry too much about the protein count, mine was often under as well. If you visit some vegetarian groups on sparkpeople; I don't remember the names, but you just have to look for the biggest groups...

    Hopeless

    I honestly think that anything 1500 cals a day is low... For maintenance I eat around 1700-1800 cals and when I was in weight loss mode I used to eat 1500 cals. When I went lower than that (around 1200) I eventually ended up binging after a few days :/ So, try to up your intake to 1500-1600...

    Do you count veg?

    Yes, I count my veggies because as a vegetarian I eat lots of vegetable based foods. I just don't count the cloves of garlic, slices of onion and herbs (parsley/oregano/basil/etc), you know those little thing wich calories are almost non-existent. But if I eat a cup of boiled broccoli or carrots...

    My bra is a shocker because it's an A cup :( I'm pear sized, large hips and butt but almost non-existent boobs. That being said I skip the bra most days because my breasts are always on the same place and they don't need support at all (I use bra only when I wear tight tops just because I don't...

    Do you think that this diet would be sucsessful?!

    Helen, I honestly don't believe carbs are evil. Most of my calories come from whole carbs (brown bread, whole wheat pasta, brown rice, potatoes, veggies and fruits...) then I add some vegan protein (tofu, lentils, beans, peas, ...) and sometimes a drizzle of olive oil but it's rare. I'm at...

    Hello Boggins! I eat lots of fruit. You can fill up your stomach with little calories. When you eat grains always go for the whole version of it (brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat bread, ...) because refined carbs (white pasta, white bread, white rice, sugar) have less fiber and...

    raw food diet results

    I love cooked food as well, but I love raw fruits and eat lots of it too. So, my usual aim is to eat at least 1/3 (around 30-40%) of my calories from raw fruits and veggies;) I really admire those with willpower to go 100% raw vegan, my aim is to be close to 50%, I also need my cooked munchies:p

    Oh Lindsey, I also gained this weekend but I ate cookies and I snacked a lot. I understand it may be frustrating to see an higher number when you did well, maybe it's just fluid retention. Whatever it is I'm sure you'll lose it soon again, you always lose the weekend gain in a few days;) xx xx

    It sounds like you have a great mind set. Slow and stead wins the race so introduce the changes you're aiming step by step. Quick changes usually aren't long lasting, but gradual and consistent changes can last forever:) xx

    Bingeing... Why?!!?

    Lesley, Finally we have news from you:) And they're great news, you're doing very well;) And you're totally right, this is our body, we are the ones who feed it, so we are the only ones who can change it as well. xx

    At what BMI would you class someone as 'slim'?

    That's really low carb:p I'm a vegfie so I couldn't eat like that but I could do that with tofu and other fake meats (some brands made them really low fat/carb and high protein). However I think I wouldn't last long because I love fruits. I can go for a day or two without grain, but I can't go...

    Oh Stephielou, I wish I could hug you right now :hug99: I don't struggle with body shame currently because my boyfriend is very supportive and I already showed him all my strach marks and he kissed them. Since then I feel very good with him. However, I once had an EX-boyfriend that used to...

    Welcome BehindBlueEyes, You're chosing a nice way to way. Healthy eating is something that we can't do long-term so it it a wise choice:) Did you ever calorie count? You could try it and aim for 1500-1700 calories a day with a 30 min. walk daily for a start;) Exercise also lifts our mood so...

    Feel silly that this is such an issue!!

    Legomon, You're a brave woman for admiting something that most of us actually feel. Emotional eating it's called "emotional" for a reason. However now you're eating what your body needs and eventually you'll adapt to this new way. You aren't a failure, you're a brave woman who is fighting...

    This is SO true. it is particular hard when we're short and small framed. My goal wight used to be 102lbs but I already gave up at 107 lbs.

    Stretch marks

    I think stretch marks have a lot to do with genetics. I never was overweight, even though I'm a yo yo. Most of my stretch marks started showing up around 11 years old with growing. I was very thin at the time, but I grew quickly and I got some stretch marks on my boobs, back of the knees and...
