    I'm doing Hamnuary, with ham every day. Woo-hoo!

    whoo!

    Kidding aside, I'm thinking about doing this. My husband is a pain in the *kitten* when I try to "convert" as he feels like we will miss out on stuff together. But I'd like to try to at least go vegetarian and maybe do like a "vegan til 4" sort of approach, since I am still an omnivore.

    I am, along with my daughter. Have just done a shop in preparation to start in the new year, but may as well get going from today :)

    I'm hoping to go vegan in 2017, as well. This will be my second shot at veganism; had a 3 month stint that ended when I found out I was pregnant in 2011. But I've been vegetarian for about 8 years. I've been working up to it for the last month. I'm so ready to be done with the guilt of eating animal products.

    I've been vegan for @ 5 years now and have never felt better - really! So I wish you (and everybody taking this challenge) much luck on this effort. Please don't hesitate to send a friend request if you like :)

    I am in the same boat as you! I have been a vegetarian for a very long time and only really eat dairy maybe 10% of the time. I raise my own chickens so eat eggs from time to time. I am trying to see how much weight I can lose over the next 70 days. Interested to see what sort of challenges I have with the protein component of the food pie percentages overall and what kind of impact it will have on my overall weight loss. Trying to avoid simple carbs overall!

    Hi I'm going to try Veganuary! I've been trying to transition from veggie for a while so am hoping this will be the final step. Happy to have friends who are doing the same :)

    I have tried (unsuccessfully) for 3 days. Today is my official 1st day. I bought stuff to meal prep with (need to do actual prep, though) and have a couple friends who have been vegan for 6 months or so. Very excited!!
