Hello from a Washington vegan

Hi all!

I'm Trish. New to the site, but have used other calorie counting websites, before. I always had gripes about each one, but so far this place seems to be pretty spot-on. (Go, Mike!)

I live in Washington state, am vegan, and yep ... overweight. And yes, it's possible to be vegan and overweight. I just love food and eat too much. So counting helps me with that. :smile:

I belly dance, ballroom and latin dance, and do Zumba for fun. They're all really great workouts -- if you haven't tried any of those, do so!

My top weight was 210. I lost 30 lbs through calorie counting and exercise, and have stayed level for a bit over a year. Now it's time to resume my journey and get down to my goal weight. (Well, sort of. I'm not so crazy about getting to a certain number, just to a certain state of health.)

So ... here we go!

- Trish
