Heading home to see my honey and puppy. Can’t wait. Thanks for the fun materials. It kept me entertained at the airport.

Hi All, It’s hard to keep up with you all. I am reading through everyone’s posts and loving your content. I can’t respond to everything but know that I am thoroughly enjoying your activity. I did much enjoy the wine last night. I may have even enjoyed a little tonight as well. I reached the office this morning at 7:30 and…

I decided to stick close to the hotel for dinner. Feeling tired. Love all the sign postings... so funny. Now I am debating between a nice glass of wine with my feet up or some cardio back at the hotel. I think that the wine will win followed by an early bedtime. I’ve been in meetings all day. It’s part of the deal with not…

Just sent you an invite. I am living a similar path... I went vegan at New Year’s. I lost 30 pounds but I’ve been on a plateau due to lack of focus.

I just sent you an invite. You have it easy if your house is already veggie. Welcome aboard!

Hey group! To Chicago on Thursday and back to Georgia this morning. These Monday morning commutes are rough. Up at 4:45 am to the airport by 7 am and to my desk in by 1 pm. Stopped by Vegreen for dinner. I think tomorrow night I will venture away from the hotel a little further.

Thank you ALL for the warm welcome! My profile picture was my sweet 14 year old Sky. We just lost her at the beginning of October. I don’t have the heart to change my profile pic. We’ve wanted a second dog for a while but given Sky’s age, I didn’t want to stress her these past few years. I miss her like crazy! On a…

It was the Monkey Mushroom satay with pineapple and taro that I tried (twice). I like the splurge and order their vegan fried rice too. They aren’t low calorie dishes but I just love having a vegan restaurant to frequent. I’ve also tried the Spicy Eggplant and Pepper “Steak.” My struggle is being a vegan road warrior. The…

I am vegan and live in Chicago but travel to Duluth 2-3 x month. I found Vegreen about 2 months ago. Love, love, love this place. Try the Monkey Mushroom dish. I haven’t ever heard of them before but they source them from a local farmer. Delish! This place makes my travels relatively sane.

Congratulations! Vegan here too. Sent you a friend request.

I went vegan at New Year’s and I haven’t looked back. I was constantly catching colds (2-3 x year) that developed into sinus infections with 2+ month long lingering coughs. I was known as the girl who was always sick. I was traveling a lot and eating whatever I felt like. I now focus on building my immune system through…

Just sent you an invite. I went vegan at the beginning of the year.

About 10 yessras ago I went through upper and lower jaw surgery. Here is what I can share from my experience. The first several days I didn’t want to eat anything but chicken broth. My throat was sore from the anesthesia. I then upgraded to milk chocolate Slim Fast to get more calories. I couldn’t think of eating anything…

I am finally back home! I've been on the road non-stop since the start of this challenge and haven't been able to weigh in each week but I can give an update today! SW 76.75 (169.2) CW 76.16 (167.9) GW 71.75 (158.2) I am only down 1.3 pounds but feel very proud. This month has been living on restaurant food and through…

Welcome! All I do is track my calories plus eat a variety of beans, grains, vegetables and fruits. I don't worry too much about the carbs but I also make whole food choices whenever possible. Whatever you can to to stay way from anything packaged or processed will keep you on the right path. I can relate... I think the…

Thank you all. I just got home today from a national meeting that stretched over 3 days. One dinner had iceberg wedge salads with blue cheese and bacon, corn on the cob swimming in oil and butter plus an assortment of BBQ meats. No a thing to eat so I went in the bar and order a heaping plate of steamed vegetables. The…

I turned vegan at New Years. I love the MFP network. Feel free to add me. I am active on here everyday.

Best of luck! I went vegan at New Years after my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer then suffer a mild heart attack midway through her chemo treatments. She is doing great now! I made a personal choice to do what I can today to hopefully prevent chronic health issues.

I'm a vegan from Lombard. Feel free to add me!

Great job everyone!

I am down 0.7 pounds. It's not a bunch but heading in the right direction. I'm happy to be home. I plan on having a couple of beers tonight then back on the clean eating train tomorrow.

I work for Mitsubishi Electric as a Senior Marketing Manager in the Cooling & Heating division. We sell ductless units both residential and commercial.

Yes! But what a great accomplishment. Your timeline directly illustrates your decisions and their positive outcomes. Great job!

I'm off to a challenging start. I left town for work last Sunday and return today after 6 nights on the road. Most of the events I attended didn't have too many vegan options. I'll be happy to be home next week and preparing my own meals.

I'm vegan and happy to be friends. There are a number of vegans in the Happy Herbivore group.

I'm vegan and in the process of losing weight. Feel free to add me.

Hi Team! I went vegan over 3 months ago. I hesitated because I travel all the time for work. I finally decided to make this decision for me and not worry about all the special meal requests I will be making every day. 90%+ of my meals are eaten in a restaurant. I am already on the road this week so I will need to use my…

I went from eating pepperonis to vegan overnight! I newer vegan having just converted at New Year's and I haven't looked back. My lifestyle is very challenging to be vegan so I'd like to encourage everyone that they can do it. I travel every week for work and have client dinners out all the time at places I do not pick. I…

I am an active vegannon MFP. Feel free to add me. I love the network.
