    I was hoping to find this post! I'm a vegan! It will have been 2 years at the end of this November since I have become vegan. I guess my goal is to maintain weight and gain muscle. I'm finding it hard to get rid of the pounds though... :-/

    I'm an oldish vegan, well, four and a half years, my diary is open, and pretty healthy IMO, except for the tinned fruit, if you're wanting ideas, happy to accept and motivate new friends :)

    Though I'm a newbie vegan, even having this lifestyle for the short amount of time that I have, has made feel happier, healthier, and more energized!

    I am vegan and have been for over a year now. I lost my weight as a meat eater though, but I do now feel healthier and still have goals to reach.

    Welcome, all! Sorry I've been quiet on here, I was in Monterey for a few days of fun and remembering special places of my youth. It was really inspiring walking along the coast on a trail I used to wake up and run 7 miles on every morning. Today, I took my walking into running and feel pretty great about it.

    I'm trying ot really kick up the vegan foods, exploring more options and getting a wider assortment of food choices to prevent stagnation. I also now use Dewa B12 (with B6 and Folic) sublingual vitamins, and I think it has helped a lot with my energy, and B12 is pretty tough to get for vegans, compared to other nutrients.

    I exercise before breakfast, or consuming anything at all, really, so I'm really seeking some good breakfast options for post-workout success. I think I need a healthy dose of protien and fiber to keep me feeling full until lunch (first potential binge of the day) and through until I log out of work (second, and more dangerous potential binge). I just about never binge after eating a satisfying breakfast, and it's just too hot for coach's oats at the moment. I usually mix it with trail mix, bananas and a little almond milk.

    I'm a new Vegan, only been doing it for 2 1/2 weeks, but I have noticed a remarkable difference in how i feel and I've also lost 3Kgs in that short time just by cutting our dairy, meat and eggs. It's amazing how not sluggish my digestive system is. For years I have been struggling with a "slow" intestine, but after a couple of days it appears all good....I live in Rural Victoria in Australia, so it's very hard to get my hands on a lot of Vegan stuff, but I'm making do at the moment and am quite happy. I do worry abit about the vitamins and protien side of things, so I'm keeping a keen interest on here to see what people with more experience in this, have to say. The best move I ever made!! For my concience and my health :-)

    Hi hi. I used to be on here as RumpusParable but got rid of my profile. So I'm back as RumpusP.

    Vegetarian for around 7-8 years, vegan for around 3-4. I'm not sure on the exact numbers.

    Please feel free to add me!

    vegan but for the wrong reasons. I just like the health benefits (energy, clear skin, weight loss, etc)

    I'm not sure there is, or at least that is, a wrong reason. I know people who had a health scare, people who do it for animal reasons, or whatever. Oddly enough, environmental concerns and all the grabage in a lot of these animals raised in an unnatural way were intial prods in that direction for me.
