Hey everyone! I was working out for a while, then i moved, got bummed out, and stopped.
today i started again! i worked out on my dvd, and im really excited to start changing my life!
the one thing I dont know if i can change my diet habit. I'm a vegan, and basically eat pretty healthy anyway.
any vegans out there with any diet tips?!
I'd greatly appreciate them!
Thanks guys!
Hi Katt!
Sounds like you're back on track and doing great - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs. There's vegetarian forums that might be of interest to you as well.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
thanks guys!! i already feel like part of the family! hehe
Today is day two.
the one thing i think is going to be the worst for me.. is .. as bad as it sounds.. i like to go out and drink. we go out a bunch. i usually limit myself to 2 nights a week. but do you know any good alternative drinks with less calories.. for say.. a jack and coke!? haha
welcome hollywoodkatt... i am the same way. i feel like i am kicking a food and alcohol habit. it is TOUGH. not easy. i haven't drank at all in the past week. New Years eve I am drinking white rum and diet. there are alot of sites that post the calories of alcoholic drinks. i suggest to google it, tons come up. i am going to exercise extra during the day so the added calories won't hurt as much but all in all i am going to really curb drinking any alcohol except for special occasions! good luck!
that sounds smart.. only special occasions. i figured.. except for new years.. haha. i can limit myself to like.. 2 drinks.. twice a week. i shouldnt have to be drunk to have fun. and if i do.. thats not saying much about me! haha
Hello all. first time on a forum like this
Happy Holidays!
