I have been vegan for 13 years or so. Being vegan is not just about the food, vegans don't wear leather shoes or use anything that contains animial products etc. It is a lot of checking labels etc and can be very time consuming and makes eating out a bit of a challenge depending upon where in the world you live. But back…

I don't have any ... the fur kind of gets in the way :noway:

It is quite easy for new vegetarians and vegans to not get enough variety in their diet because they just dont know what to eat - and can easily have a very restricted diet. The best thing is for her have a look on www.vegansociety.co.uk - it has a really good community who will answer questions and also provide nutrional…

That really is an awesome achievement. :bigsmile:

I'm not so new anymore but just wanted to say that I love your post :flowerforyou: Jayne

You look great ... lovely that your husband wanted to spoil you :smile:

Well done so far - am sure you will make it in time for her birthday :)

No wonder my clothes are loose now! :noway:

I saw it listed in a magazine as one of the top 10 health apps available. Been addicted since day 1!!

Now this is advice I can relate to :laugh:

chuppa chup or iced lolly/pole both around 50 cals :)

This was all I could find ...http://www.livestrong.com/article/348881-cookie-diet-for-weight-loss/ I think drinks have replaced them pretty much!

I remember them from the 70's (my mother used to have them) - it was 2 with a glass of milk at the time! Sorry I haven't seen them for years - I think I saw them in a chemist in the UK sometime in the late 90's. Try googling them :)

I am 5'11 :smile:

Thanks for posting this, I am going to give this a go :smile:

Default ringtone for all others - Don't Stop Believing, Journey :bigsmile: [/quote] I bought this on a record when I was 21 oh so many years ago and it is still one of my absolute favourites :happy:

My ringtone at the moment is - Somebody that I used to know by Gotye. Problem is when anyone calls I still love listening to it so I don't always answer the call :laugh:

I think it depends on how strict a vegan you are. Food additives that may contain animal products such as the beetles they crush for colouring probably wouldn't contain cholesterol. Also finings they use in wine and some beers I don't think contain cholesterol. Sounds likely because even gelatin contains it!

Just south of Perth :) Originally from the UK, married an Ozzie and been an Australian citizen for quite a few years now!

Thank you for such a great idea! I had thought of other things I could do such a new pair of jeans when I had lost 10 kilos but $10 per llb makes so much sense to me. Not only an incentive but I won't feel guilty spending the money on clothes for myself when I hit goal. It has also been interesting to read everyone else's…

My absolute fav is vanilla soy milk. In tea, coffee and on cereal. My non vegan friends love my coffee because of it - mostly any brand. It is not higher in cals and isn't watery :)

Hi I vegan and I have just completed my 27th day of low carbs. If you are not already vegan or vegetarian it will entail quite a lot of effort at first checking labels etc and re-stocking with non-animal products. I have a link for a vegan low carb diet if you would like it. I have been vegan for 12 years, 4 years of that…

Thanks for posting your story. Good luck on your journey :smile:

Hi I have been vegan for 12 yeras now. I am married to the world's strictest vegan and really I became vegan because of him. Gradually overtime it became my own personal choice. I have been known to sneek the odd piece of non-vegan cheese if I get the chance:blushing: but I can't stand the taste of normal milk, butter or…

Hey Just wanted to say thank you for starting this group :smile:

Hi I have been vegan for 12 years :) I originally became vegan because when I first met my husband he was an ultra strict vegan in respect of everything he uses in his life, not just what he eats - so for me it was easier to eat what he ate. I don't discuss being vegan with anyone including my friends - it is a bit like…
