Hmm which is harder for me... Time management or meal timing/prep? 🤔 😅 All of the above. I guess meal prepping is not really that hard, I just have not had a desire to do it. Lazy? Probably. I am a Mom of 3 living with one of the grandmas, and she is a take-charge, change-plans-at-the-drop-of-a-hat, this-is-what-we-are-doing-now.... kinda person. Which is fine... we live under her roof, but she is like a little ball of chaos that I'm working with and around. 6 People under one roof and I am the only one who wants to make a real deal shared schedule. With school drop offs and karate classes, church on Wednesday nights, plenty of homework, and all the things... we really fly by the seat of our pants around here. I had schedules going for us this summer, as well as meal plans, but I am out of ink right now for my printer, and have not had the money to get more ink 😅 but I am going to really try to get back on my meal planning (pen and paper it shall be) because tracking macros has been the only thing that I have seen work well and quickly, for losing weight. I was not eating near enough before I started tracking. The past couple of months have been a whirlwind, I have been driving from Jax FL to Memphis TN a LOT because my mom has been dealing with brain cancer, was in the hospital for about a month, and she lives in Memphis, so... I have gained like 10 lbs since I signed up for this challenge, because I have not been active here, to say the least. I need all the support I can get and I am committing to showing up as much as possible. The videos on here are so incredibly helpful and I appreciate you coaches so so much!

Hi everyone! My name is Sasha and I am currently a Master's Student studying Nutritional Biology and an indoor cycling instructor. I am originally from LA and have been vegan for 8 years. I want to become a Registered Dietitian with a specialty in plant-based eating. I joined this community to get a feel for what online nutrition forums look like and to have accountability when it comes to my personal nutrition and fitness goals. I hope to get inspired and inspire others!

👋🏾 Justin here. I'm not new to veganism and fitness, just the sense of community and being a part of one. I stay in Mebane NC. I'm an actor, linguist and chef(neither of the latter two am I good in) language enthusiast and instrument player. Video gamer, reader and crafter. So the plant base diet hasn't quite picked up in the area. Im a trained chef and that's where I became vegetarian. Had a classmate who couldn't digest meat and I learned a lot from her. So I started there in 2006. My desire is to be in the best shape I can be and to give myself some longevity while staying conditioned, because I want to a look cute in my clothes, feel confident and comfortable because I want to swim again, do capoeira more, and you know date, but let's be honest a desert has more water in it that the gay dating pool, just saying, jaja. Working on a better life and wanting to improve myself mentally, physically, emotionally so that I can start giving back. Thank you and I'll been chatting around. My mantra

I’m really looking forward to interacting and connecting with everyone on here! Ive been vegan almost 5 years now and honestly learn so much every day about more ways to cook delicious vegan food. I’m a mom and bodybuilder, but more focus on the mom part lately as I just had my second baby in August. We live in Mississippi but I’m from New Mexico and love to travel! Thank you all for being vegan and I hope to add value to this community by posting some recipes soon!

So as some of you know, my wife and I have a food business (Conpassionate Kitchen) and we sell certified vegan and organic baking mixes in compostable packaging. Inspired by this awesome group, I’ve been trying to create some higher protein recipes with our products and came up with this from our Everyday Baking Mix. 1 scoop vedge protein powder 1/2 cup Everyday Baking Mix 1 cup water Mix all together and cook in waffle iron or can also be used to make pancakes. Comes out to about 8 grams protein per 4” waffle. These make great little protein travel snacks as well. You can find us at www.compassionatekitchen.org and also in Earthfare in Asheville, NC. _compassionate_kitchen is our insta
