about a little over a year ago i decided to read everything out there known to man about nutrition and the effects of food on the body and mind. i had been lactose intolerant for years and had health problems. after so much reading i couldnt think about eating meat or anything else that came from animals. i couldnt even look at it. No wonder i was sick! so i just stopped cold turkey. no meat, fish, dairy or eggs. i lost weight, my skin looked amazing and best of all… no health problems! everything went away. it was great! but everyone kept telling me i was nuts and that i needed animal protein. I started training for a marathon and my trainer was adamant about animal protein being the most important thing to help me so i thought about it and tried eating meat. i felt so sick! my body felt like really nausious and the heatlh problems returned. turns out my health problems were related to meat. so i stopped one again and will never go back. I encourage everyone who wants to go vegan to do it for themselves and not listen to what others say. this is your body and you have to take care of it while you have it.
next week will be a month of becomming a vegan. my body is changing n my weight has dropped ALOT. I feel really good though. My appetite has increased but I no longer have those cravings that used to drive me before. I hope everyone is doing good… it’s hard but I hear once you pass the detox phase it’s alot better on the other side
hi. i’ve been vegan for almost 2 weeks now. i feel kinda drained. My boss who’s vegan said i’m going thru the detox phase and that it can last a couple days or even a week. great. =( I wasnt really a meat eater before. I’ve seen chickens and pigs killed when i was small and i couldnt eat them after that. even red meat was rare. then growing up i learned that i was lactose intolerant. so i started letting that go too. I figured. hey. why not become vegan. i’ve lost the taste already for meat and dairy and eggs. and i absolutly love veggies. it hasnt been that hard for me. but this detox thing sucks! does anyone have advice on it?
hi. i’ve just lost the love of my life yesterday. What better way to get over someone than a makeover. i was thin before him and want to be that way again. i want my life back. i want my body back. so today is day 1 of my new beginning. I have joined the 5factor diet and am gonna get back into running.
sw: 140
cw: 140
gw: 110. i’m a tiny person. i can do this!
all i wanna do is sleep. sleep all my troubles away. but i cant. i have to go weigh in at the doctor then i have school. i just have absolutly no energy or will power to do it.
good luck today everyone. i hope u guys are feeling better than i am.

hi guys. so for those who are lookign for a healthier way to approach perfection… here’s what i’ve been following…
basically balance out ur cal intake and what u burn. stick to healthy foods when u eat and lots of cardio. with that u'll be successful. the main thing is to eat 4-5 portions of veggies, 3 fruit carb and fat portions, 8 proteins, and 2 portions of milk or dairy. eat 3 to 5 times daily. hope this helps...i’m loosing weight and gaining healthy lean muscle. i’ve literally been watching the fat melt off. and if ur over weight stay without beef (round flank, sirloin, tenderloin, t-bone or lean cuts) till after u loose ur first 15 lbs.
hope this helps…

well i’m on day 2 of the diet my doc set up. the pills are ok. they take my hunger away but there’s one that gives me cotton mouth. i’m drinking like 80oz of water a day and am supposed to eat but i cant seem to eat the entire meal. breakfast was supposed to be a slice of wheat bread, one hard boiled egg, 1 cup orange juice and a cup of coffee or tea. i only got to eat about 1/2 a slice of toast. crazy. imma keep it up though and try to eat what they say. its all super healthy food anyways. here’s to loosing 7lbs by wednesday!
jenita
so today i went to the bariatric doctor and all is well. he’s changing up the nutritionist diet just abit and i think he is putting me on a medication ( i start that tomorrow if my testing went well) then i’m going to loose the weight. he said that since my fam has obesity in it i may have trouble losing the weight because of that trait. he also says my goal of 100 is do-able with the medication and diet. then once i have lost the weight i have to just maintain it. pretty cool!
so if ur like me and have alot of trouble… dont worry! there is hope =) i will be thin and sexy! and by summer too. woohoo!
jen
well i’ve been with the trainer for a bit and i am at a stand still with my weight. i’m going to see a bariatric doctor today at 11. maybe i just need help loosing the weight. i talked to the doc and he said that sometimes it happens. sometimes u just need a little push. so i hope this works. at least he agrees that i’m overweight and made the appointment for today. wish me luck girls… i need it!
hi =) ok. so yesterday was the first day with my trainer and new diet. i’ve been eating the foods that he told me. i eat 6 times a day. eek! but i’m skipping the peanut butter part and most of the carbs. i’m still getting protein in the chicken so its not too bad. he is working my booty off and i just got off the scale. i’m 5lbs less than i was yesterday morning. thats outta hand crazy. i’m in the gym mornings and night with a strict diet. mostly doing cardio. he said that by summer i WILL be 100lbs. i think he’s nuts. and since i have a very petite frame my weight should be around 98-106. i’d settle for 100 then see from there. good luck all… if u want to know some of the meals i have to eat just let me know and i’ll post.
jenita
not so bad. 4 strawberries, 1/2 banana and crushed ice blended into a smoothie. in 2 hours i have to have a fruit cocktail for a snack then 2 hours after that beef stew which is veggies in beef broth with lean ground beef. o and later i have to work out for an hour. then school till 11pm.
jenita
ok so my dilema isnt going away. i did manage to sleep in this morning saying i wasnt feeling good and slept thru breakfast and the first scheduled snack. the meals are extremely lowfat but still its alot to eat in a day. lunch is a strawberry banana smoothie then my next snack is celery and peanut butter. dinner is beef stew. i tell u one thing. i wasnt too nice with fatboy last night. anyways. my trainer called and he said he can get me down to 100lbs and thats my ultimate goal. (i say let him get me there and i’ll keep going as low as i can.)as u can see i’m trying to find the silver lining in this.
jen
ok. so i’ve been with fat boy for years now and we just had our anniversary. guess what anniversary present i get! a ring? NO! i get a friggin personal trainer/nutritionist! what the fudge! i start tomorrow on a 1200 cal diet and i have to do this till i reach a healthy weight. why couldnt he just get me a ring! his parents already know he wants to marry me. put a ring on my friggin finger fat boy! i was doing fine loosing weight and i’m scared i’m gonna gain back weight.
ok i vented. sorry girls. lets see how i can do this. i dont think i’ve ever eaten 1200 cals in a single day anyways.

His family had a bbq and of course i had to go. especially since he just told his parents he’s planning on marrying me. so anyways. while his mom was lecturing me on the importance of marriage and keeping eachother happy… he kept putting food on my plate. he made it look like i wasnt eating and his mom sat there and mde me eat. sneaky sneaky fat boy! i’m soo mad at him for doing that. he then tells me when we got home that it took him a long time to fatten me up. he doesnt want me getting any skinnier than i am now. now what am i supposed to do! grr… men!
