  • I've also lost 75 pounds, and have only gone down about 1 dress size. I was between a 28 and 30, and now I fit into some 26s. Keep going! At least you don't have to buy new clothes so often

  • I use a food scale when I cook at home and I have one at work to dole out portion sizes. I weigh myself officially once a week. I get on the scale every now and then between official weigh ins to see how im doing. I don't get upset, but it lets me know that I need to cut back if the numbers aren't changing.

  • Also, know the reasons why you'd want to go plant based. Some meat eaters are hella touchy and feel personally offended that you don't eat meat or dairy anymore. I went vegan for the animals. The health benefits are an added bonus.

  • I went vegan overnight. I have made mistakes and even "paused" the veganism when I went on vacation in Europe. I love the Forks over Knives doc and I try to eat as closely as I can to this. I would start with small things, like switching from milk to a plant milk. Doing Meatless days, then eventually vegan days. One of the…

  • Hello. This is my first time doing this. I have lost 68 lbs in the last year, but I still have over 150 to go. Prepping for weight loss surgery, but I am hoping to lose as much as I can before this.
