[/quote] . Food is food. Food is fuel. It is no more ethical to eat a plant than it is to eat a rabbit. It is no less ethical to eat a cow than it is to eat a carrot. You can still get fat choosing a vegan lifestyle and you can still have plenty of energy and good health on an omnivorous one. [/quote] You can't decide what…

Well then you will hate me. Despite being educated and intelligent I have a learning disability in spelling. It was clearly identified and diagnosed in 5th grade. It is a form of dyslexia. I was lucky that I had some teachers who where paying attention. My brain doesn't have the ability to sound out words or memorize them.…

different times lol. Not me. I didn't tell people since I was in Cleveland in the 80's. I just used to say I had allergies to meat, dairy, fish, poultry and eggs. I am not joking if I went out NO one knew what the word meant so I didn't use it. Also people had tons of issues in the midwest then so if I said I was vegan…

I did WW to great success (lost 75 lbs on WW online and kept it off for a few years). Your daily points are structured to take into account your veggies. It didn't include avocado or strach veggies. It would not work where you have a calorie goal that didn't take into account a few hundred from veggies the way the WW…

My VERY strong advice is go to an ortho. When that happened to me in 2009 it turned out to be a stress fracture in my hip. My ortho said it can just happen. I was at goal and running 30 miles a week and had done three halfs. And it felt like what you are describing. You at least want someone to check it out to rule out any…

That could have been about what choices she was making as a vegan. It isn't a guven that vegan means mire or less energy. It might have for her based on what she was eatting as a vegan. Just like it doesn't mean you drop weight by being vegan it is all about what chouces you make as a vegan.

I had been at goal for a few years so I have some things I want to wear again. Top of the list my red carpet gown here I am trying it on ( it was for an event) I am plannung on getting a photo shoot done with my motorcycle(a harley) and this gown. And I want to run another hakf marathon and look this good 5 mins after the…

This. Vegan for 25 years. Vegan diet is not a magic bullet. You can eat too many calories as a vegan. I have been 227 lbs at 5'9 as a vegan with a BMI in the mid 30's. But you can also be a healthy weight. I was at goal for a few years which for me is 150. I am vegan for moral and ethical reasons. Vegan is a given for me.…

When I was at goal 08-11. I felt amazing. Now at 42 started up 55 lbs fom goal ( out of 75 ttl I lost) I had been plannung on getting back at it for awhile. Had a night where I felt like crap including and odd feeling in my chest. Started to worry so texted my kido who was on a trip with his dad (my ex) "just in case".…

My husband knows I don't want to talk about weight loss with him. I do discuss running with him. Normally if I cut my calories he can tell. He is mostly very helpful but he was raised by a food pusher. She is amazing but she offers you food like every 5 mins. So every once in awhile we will have a moment where he decides…

I have hobbies I run and ride a motorcycle which are my more dedeciated hobbies. I read, wine is a hobby, voluteering.

I run everyday (between 4-5 miles) And add an additional walk multi times a week.

Moving comfort ! I love the maia which has an underwire built in but many of them from the moving comfort line work for bigger chests.

You look great!

You look great

All cupcakes/ cakes from sticky fingers bakery in DC esp the flavors in the wedding cake they did fir me chocolate with hazelnut frosting and vanilla with raseberry cream ( that won cupcake wars multi times). Vegan wings from smoke and barrel ( that I make st home) and vegan tacos. Vegan tofurky It saus with sauce and…

You are doing great!

I have been vegan for 25 years. It is as easy as anything. Depends on your commitment. Also your reasons for doing it. Why do you want to go vegan? I would say if you think that being vegan alone will make you drop weight it strait up won't. Being vegan and Sticking to a calorie deficit will. But vegan calories are…

I too lost weight on WW multi times. It is a great program. First time I did it was in 1999 and I lost 35 lbs. The most successful time was in 07/08 when I was at my heaviest. Starting weight 227 at 5'9. I lost 75kbs entirely following their online program. I kept it off for 3 years. And when I stopped tracking, running,…

I can tell you how to gain weight as a vegan lol :-) but on maintaining. Make some veggie chili with beans and chickoeas, eat tofu, try some of the better vegan meat replacements tofurky beer brats and the other flavors are great. I would say with fake meat watch your salt. It is often loaded with it. If you are going to…

Thank!

I am a daily weigher- tues and wed I was 199 woot back in onederland. Started 17 days ago at 207.8 :-) I could dance out of it for a day or so ( my body likes doing two steps forward one step back) BUT I am basically back out of the 200's. Now just 48 lbs to goal.

It started with new ( or I am assuming new) vegan starting a thread asking why they get attacked for beung vegan and it is called vegan hate. And the haters took it as a rally cry.

Answer eat in your maintence calories. If you are vegan ( like me) then eat vegan foods that fit in your maintence calories. CICO applies if you are vegan. Trust me if it was a magic bullit after 25 years of being vegan I would be a size 0 lol. So vegan or not maintence is about eating in your maintence calories.

my hubby is richard and a 3rd. His dad goes by Dick and when my hubby is made at said dad he just calls him by his name. I have to admit looking my father in law in the face and calling him Dick took some getting used to.

My real name is Liz (well Elizabeth) I grew up listening to idiot sign me the lizzy borden rhyme. So it can get it even when your name is fairly mainstream.

Random thought for the day. Stitch fix box came (it is my first time trying it) I didn't like most BUT I did fall in love with a size 14 kut from kloth diana skinny jean. Not cheap and at the rate I am dropping pounds they won't fit for long but I am keeping them anyhow. And I am wearing them now even though I have a…

If you ever want to ask I am always open to dialogue about it. And since I became a vegan at a time when there wasn't as many of us I have answered all the questions at some point.

This exactly

No I just don't plan on changing the way I post. I heard you and wanted you to know that but that doesn't mean I plan on changing. And no I don't think anyone including you is attacking me. I do think some people who are in this thread are using a old line with vegans. Which is they all preach so it is ok if I attack…
