I'm a vegan*, so you can add me, but I don't really... cook, as such.

*Except for honey- so technically "beegan"?

I just hit my 90 day vegan mark. I do not really track since my weightloss has been so awesomely steady, but I still come for the emotional support and I have created some really awesome accidents!

Me too, vegan for about 2 years, vegetarian for way longer. Can't figure how to add friends from my phone but anyone on the thread wanting another vegan buddy plz add me.

Vegan for eight years, though have been slipping up here and there lately. Would love to be friends and encourage each other!

The only thing I'm strict about is vegetarian (12 years), but I eat vegan probably 80% of the time during the week. Would love to swap recipes and such too! In particular, I've been trying to find vegan recipes that give me the calories/protein intake I need without making me waaayyy full and unable to move, if that makes any sense haha. I didn't have to worry about this as much when I still ate dairy. But I absolutely love following a plant-based diet!

I just went back to being vegan in August Whoever wants to can add me if you like. My diary isn't open, I don't think, but I rarely use it these days because my weight loss has been steady for several months now, but I wouldn't mind recipe-swapping.

There is no "semi-vegan" or "almost vegan." Being vegan requires strict adherence to not just a totally plant-based diet, but to a philosophy of never benefitting from any animal product. No leather shoes or purses, no wool clothing, no eating honey, etc.

If you eat a totally plant-based diet but don't follow the philosophy, you're vegetarian, not vegan. If you eat eggs, even occasionally, you're ovo-vegetarian. Use dairy but don't eat eggs, you're lacto-vegetarian. Consume both eggs and dairy, you're lacto-ovo vegetarian. Eat a little fish or meat here and there for your health--you aren't even vegetarian.

Yeeeeeeeeeeess, but this is a diet forum, i.e. the focus is on diet. If one is looking for tips and suggestions from other users on eating a wholly plant-based diet, the other users' clothing choices are neither here nor there, and designating people as vegetarian/vegan in the context of nutritional advice based on whether they wear woollen jumpers is just going to make everything awkward for everyone.

If you are a vegan yourself, do you think posts like yours further animal welfare? I know full well the annoyance of "but vegetarians/vegans eat fish/chicken/free-range eggs! Lisa at work is a vegetarian/vegan and she does", but no-one here is claiming that their exceptions count as vegan. It's a completely different situation.

And in this context, there are certainly "semi-vegan" and "almost vegan" diets. I dislike more-vegan-than-thou competitiveness, anyway; leads to rude teenagers mocking the commitment of almost entirely vegan and vegetarian pensioners (whose efforts are the very reason that vegetarianism and veganism is so easy today) because they bought a wool dress or bought some school photographs or had some Cadbury's Roses at a Christmas party a couple of years back. It's just ungrateful.

I'm far more strict on the matter of wool and leather than my mother is, but I wouldn't dream of telling her she's not a proper vegan for that. Not even during the almost ten-year period when I went honey-free myself and met all the criteria. Like I said, millennial vegans should not stick their noses up at the people who took the flack when veganism was truly considered extreme.

I love being a vegan! I feel a little guilty because you would think I should not have weight challenges being vegan, but I do....I am going to be honest with myself and work on this for one month...December...thank you. Verna
