I log my food on bodybuggs site, but I might try the sparkpeople thing. Actually, I'd started one right after surgery, but never went back to it. Lol.

Hey Wasa. Yeah, I know that they don't claim to be Vegan, I was just surprized about it, and figured I'd post it in case anyone else wanted to know. :cool: As for teh slaughter houses, I think it is just one short chapter. They didn't dwell on it too long at all... and good thing too cause I don't think I could have handled it. I even skipped a paragraph or two the first time through, but when I skimmed the book a few days ago, I did read it. So sad...

Hey... I do take MUCH smaller bites than I used to. I think I used to try to shovel everything in as fast as I could, mealtime was a race... Now I take time to cut up my food and try to take smaller bites, though they are probably still 'too big' according to the 'bandster rules'... I do as you do thouh, chew well and swollow in bits.

We are so close ladies... just a bit longer!

Lol. I totally understand!! As a nurse nothing grosses me out, except snot. ha!

I agree! NO ONE in my family or at work knows about my surgery (though most of my friensd DO know) and when I eat only about 1/4 what I used to eat I just tell people the truth: that I am watching what I eat, learning to chew slowly and appreciate the flavor of food. I used to feel like a failure if my plate wasn't 'clean' at the end of the meal... I grew up with the whole 'Clean Plate Club' mentality... and it now annoys the CRAP out of me to see my friends and siblings teaching this same damaging behavior to their kids...buts that another rant all together. I also tip more now, because I spend less on my meal, and I think overall I just ENJOY dining out more than I used to...

Lol BG. I was amazed to find vegan waffles. I haven't tried them yet, cause I'm doing a 2 day 'say no to carbs' challenge (except fruit!) But I plan on having one in the morning!

Oh my Ghost! Yes, you should eat something if you feel that badly! thats why i have to have an apple or something during the day.

oh, just checked out the website - they also have a line or organic waffles that seems to be vegan as well... Target didn't have those!

I fuond frozen waffles that are VEGAN and gluten free, if anyone cares.. Got them at Target, for under $2. 6 waffles. Brand is Vans All Natural. (Welcome to Van's Foods. Home of Van's Gourmet Waffles, Belgian Waffles, Blueberry Waffles and much more.) Says " Wheat Free" and "original" really big on the front. They are free of trans fat, cholesterol, eggs and dairy. Per 2 Waffles: 189 calories, 5 gm fat, 390 sodium, 23 carbs, 5 Fiber, 4 Protein. Just thought I'd share. Also, have you ever read the ingredients to the Boca, MorningStar, or gardenBurger varieties of 'burgers' and their other products?? MANY of them include eggs and dairy.

I saw that he did that to a few threads and was worried! Lol. I hate 'change' that wasn't initiated by ME. haha!

I am trying to go Vegan, which isn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be, but we'll see how long it lasts... anyway, so i was reaeding the ingrediants on many o the Boca, MorningStar, and Gardenburger varietis and MANY of them use milk and eggs in their products. I was really surprised. So, I found a few vegan friendsly ones and bought them, in the Boca and GardenBurger brands. We'll see how they fare... As for the Sun Dried Tomatoes - Oh my! I LOVE them! Macaroni Grill has this great grilled chicken/bow tie pasta/sun dried tomatoes/fetuccini cause pasta bowl that is to die for! (Not that I can eat it now, trying to be vegan and all...but I can remember how it tastes!) Thanks!! AGain this moring (3 days in a row!) I am below 300, at 299.6, so I am thrilled. Hoping to never see the 300s again!! I have been wavering on wether or not to cancel my gym membership. I don't go as often as I should anymore... I have been working out at home (exercise ball is my new friend!) and I walk 8 flights of stairs at work, up and down, about 2-3 times a day... when it is warmer out I LOVE walking, and have a 5 mile trail I do... and as soon as I get my income tax money back and it gets warer I am going to buy a bicycle and plan on making that my main form of exercise... but I think I should still keep my gym membership for weight training and those 'rainy' days... the membership only costs me $20 a month, and is open 24hours a day... Sigh... Agreed that an Mp3 player with GOOOOD music goes a LONG way!

Everyone is doing good. :smile: Just had my Protein shake. Today is my day off work, so I got to sleep in until 10am, and laid in bed reading my book until about 1045 before my cats protested and insisted that I get up to feed them! So, here I sit, catching up on everything LBT and sipping my vanilla soy banana Protein Shake. Super yum! Towards the later hours yeaterday I was feeling a bit anxious/moody which happens when my blood glucose levels drop. (Not diabetic, but hypoglycemic... low blood sugar is miserable!!) So I had 1 butterscotch candy, and drank a bottle of Water. And that was like 10pm, so I went to bed. I have no idea how many calorie or carbs are in 1 butterscotch... I suppose I should look it up...

A Vegetarian does not eat anything with a face. Which is why they can still drink milk, eat cheese, eggs... Mostly because these things didn't kill the animal... unless you count chicken embryos as living, therefor now dead... Hmmm...

Yay for hell on Earth!

because the WW site cannot tell you how many calories you are burning...how many steps you're taking...

Yeah, I kinda figured. It just struck me as odd initially. Once I'd re-read it I was like 'oh yeah, I'm a retard.'

Yeah, O2B, I think we all just have to work with what is working for us! Lol. When I quit losing weight doing what I do now, I will mix it up. It's ALL about keeping your body guessing.

Thanks Wombat! I'm totally working on it! Its nice to se the scale MOOOOOOVING again!
