Hello :D
My name is Andrea. I have been wanting to weight 125 pounds for years now, and I have decided that it is finally time to get serious. Part of my new weight loss plan is to go vegan and of course exercise everyday. Any suggestions or just words of encouragement would be great.

    Hi,
    I'm not vegan, but I love love lovethe Appetite for Reduction cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz. I cook out of her cookbook quite a bit, and it's always delicious, filling, and healthy.

    Just curious . . . Do you want to go Vegan so you can lose weight or is it something you've been considering for a while? If it's going to be a permanent change that you're committed to, cool cool. If you're doing it to lose weight, not so cool cool.

    There are plenty of ways to lose weight without adding a second massive lifestyle change into the mix. I worry the double change may be too difficult at the beginning and you might lose hope faster than weight.

    Whatever you decide, just stick with it, count your calories, and exercise, and you will be successful. Good luck!

    Hey there! I'm a vegan & have lots of vegan friends on here. Have you done any research on being a vegan? Like, the kinds of foods you're going to need to eat and the vitamins you need to keep an eye on?

    Hi!
    I am not a vegan, but my boyfriend is a vegetarian.

    I do not know if you like to cook everyday, I know I don't. So today I made pre-made meals and packed them away in Tupperware for easy convince. If you want to see what I mean look at my profile pictures.

    I've always wanted to go vegan. I have been vegetarian for quite a while, but I finally decided to make the switch. :)
