Hello. I lost 50 lbs. in the last three years by getting healthy, going vegan... but I've been stuck with 25 lbs. to go. I think this will be the key if I can stick with it. Any other vegans out there?:happy:

    HI! I'm Katie. I'm actually a vegetarian, but lactose intolerant and borderline vegan (I basically only eat eggs for dairy). Feel free to add me!

    Hi, Kate. I'm finding this system extremely helpful because I'm always concerned about eating enough protein. It turns out that I've been getting well over the recommended daily amount. It's so user friendly.

    Hi I'm Shannon! I've been vegetarian for 11 years and a lot of that time a vegan. I lost a lot of weight as a vegan, but gained it back upon becoming a vegetarian in culinary school. Right now I am considering going back to being a vegan. I live in the SoCal area too!

    Greetings from SoFlo! :happy:

    I'm veggie - though I'm flirting with vegan. I don't do any eggs, or milk... I still eat cheese from time to time when I can't find a good Soy cheese to replace it.

    I lost about 40 lbs when I first went veggie - but, have stalled out since then. Feel free to add me as well, I post vegan recipes in my blog a lot.

    I eat a lot of beans for protein - Edamame is excellent (it has about 30% of the daily recommended amount of protein) I also eat a lot of cashews, peanuts, etc. and drink either rice milk or almond breeze.

    Oops, I thought you said you weren't getting enough protein.

    Thanks, girls.. it's going to be nice to have support. It's nice meeting all of you. I sent friend requests and I'm going to explore the site. I've been using it only a couple of days from my iPhone, but this is much more interesting. Have a great evening.
