Congrats!

Nvm.

Thanks! Try writing some of it down! :)

Start right now.

Wow, this is a great idea!

I'd like to suggest resizing your "fat" clothes. I don't know if you sew, but it's way cheaper than buying all new stuff.

I don't drink crazy amounts of water, but I make a conscious effort to drink enough. When I wake up, I'll have about 12 fl. Oz. of water, then sip throughout the day, about mid day I'll drink another cup and a half or so, then back to sipping, then drink another 12 oz or so before bed and have two roughly 8oz cups of…

Snails, you should never reward yourself with food. It perpetuates an unhealthy relationship with food. Remember the whole eat to live don't live to eat thing.

All of these responses have really helped me gain a lot of perspective. I was thinking, though, it's also bad to eat when not hungry for the sake of not wasting something. So I guess it's all about figuring out how much you can/will eat of something before buying it or making it or not choosing to preserve it somehow. For…

Agreed

That's a fantastic idea!

Hi, just now joining, I'm a vegan and a student and I'm hoping that weekly weigh ins will help keep me motivated.

Almonds, hummus, whole grain products, beans of all varieties, soy products, tempeh, really there are so many... Even just drinking a cup of soymilk will give you 6 or 7 grams of protein.

i also just wanted to say that I initially went vegan for animal welfare, but what has kept me vegetarian and brought me back to veganism is really the environmental, human rights, and health factors. As I said, I'd have no problem eating backyard eggs (and for a short time I had a few chickens at my parents' house just…

So many of you have responded! It's hard to keep up. But I like to see that there's a lot of veg people here.

try finding other ways to soothe yourself. plan meals ahead of time and make sure you're getting enough calories every day. the hungrier you are, the harder it is to resist eating a bunch of ****.

I totally understand the vegan-leaning vegetarian thing, and good luck gastankerdriv! You know, I drank this soy protein supplement today, but once I planned my meals for today, I really didn't even need it. I'm supposed to get about 46 grams of protein a day, and I'm ending up getting 68 g today.

Yeah, I was vegan for a year, lacto-ovo for about a year, vegan for two years, and then lacto-ovo for another two, then pescatarian for a while, now back to Veganism, lol. I think it's going to stick this time because I'm now at a point in my life where only I control what food is in my house. I like doing it because it's…

So inspiring!

Omg, great job!

Lolololol

Fruit is good for you, it's added sugars that are bad (like in candy bars, etc). As long as you're over due to fruit, you're fine. Humans evolved to eat fruit. Just make sure to get veggies, too.
