Yay vegans! My 7 year vegan-versary is this month :D

When I lost weight too quickly I ended up with gallstones and had to have emergency surgery and had it removed, gallbladder is directly related to the liver so I would think it totally probable that your liver could be impacted by a great about of weight loss. I hope they get you feeling better soon!

I was a closet eater for a long long time. I went to OA (Overeaters Anonymous) for a year regularly and committed to the program. Going for a year helped me learn a lot about myself and the way I was eating and what was behind my behaviors emotionally. It's made a huge difference for me and I don't sneak and hide food any…

Great idea! I would love someone who is similar to me to be my buddy! I'm 28 (29 in March) 6'2" SW: 277.6 CW: 263.6 GW: 180 and vegan!

7 years going strong this month! And NOT being a junk food vegan anymore (ever)!

I love cooking and finding vegan recipes, not sure if you're on Pinterest, but here is the link to my recipe board there: http://pinterest.com/kendall_lauren/hello-vegan/ some of the older stuff isn't the healthiest but most of it is! My husband isn't 100% vegan, we've been together for 7 years and for about a year now…

Did 65 min on the eliptical at 8 incline & 8 resistance (622 cal burned) 50 crunches, 10 min of yoga/stretching and some wall pushups! Looking forward to more of the same in 2013!

Topher1978 did send me a very nice apology via private message. These topics get so heated so quickly- that is why I bowed out.

Really glad to have found this group! Been vegan for 7 years as of this month, and found all the vegan junk foods. Recommitted this week to a healthy whole foods vegan diet (as well as anti-inflammatory to help with some health challenges like PCOS) and lost 13 lbs already which just confirms to me that this is the way to…

kale kale kale. I'm going through about 2 bags of the baby kale from costco per week right now. Love it with homemade lemon tahini dressing, or sauteed with a little oil and garlic, and I add it to just about any other meal I make. I have a huge bowl of it steamed for lunch the other day! It's amazing how much tastes can…

Sent you a friends request, I have it set so friends can see my food diary. I read a great article about the myth of getting enough protein on a vegan diet (you definitely don't need 100g/day) that you might want to check out: http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-7151/if-youre-vegan-how-do-you-get-enough-protein.html Also I…

Thanks! Will do :)

I'd love to! Recommitted 10 days ago and trying to be as active on MFP as I can to keep going! 13lbs so far!

bump! I can't be all alone!

I'm out, I'm not interested in arguing with you guys.

http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-7151/if-youre-vegan-how-do-you-get-enough-protein.html Great article on protein and plant based diets.

It is actually a common myth that animal protein is superior, protein from plant sources are just as good (if not better than) as from animal sources and don't come with all the cholesterol and bad-fats that animal products do...

I've been vegan for 7 years, and the healthiest I've ever been is when I'm eating a healthy whole foods vegan diet. I was pre-diabetic, now I'm not, I've been able to reduce my thyroid medication (hypo thyroidism), I was anemic, haven't been since I've been vegan! My blood pressure, cholesterol etc. are PERFECT according…

Not exactly a strange eating habit but when I shop for food and I'm buying produce I always buy things in odd numbers unless it's a pair. (5 apples, 7 bananas etc.) My twin sister does the same thing, but even numbers unless it's only 1.
