I've been about 99% vegan as well for the last 15 years (though have reverted to lacto-vegetarian on and off.). Would be happy to make vegan fitness buddies on here as well. :)

I am deeply interested in Ayurvedic medicine, and have seen a practitioner face-to-face. It's an incredibly interesting science. There are Ayurvedic doctors in India who go through over 5 years of medical school to be trained in it. Even though I have personally trained in western medicine, I have presented on alternative…

I would have told myself not to waste my time crying and chasing around jerk guys. Someday (12 years later) I would marry someone who would know how to treat me right and give me the love I needed. I wasted so many years pursuing men who didn't want me (in part because of low self-esteem due to my weight), that I wish I…

Soymilk is a good source of protein... I have seen as much as 9 grams of protein per cup, for unsweetened plain soymilk. I use this often. On the other hand, it may not be as good of a choice for someone who is allergic to soy or has thyroid conditions. Rice milk is less allergenic than soy, but most sweetened rice milk…

Thank you all so much for the lovely words of advice and the friend requests. It's nice to wake up in the morning and see that people have a lot of insight to share with me. I appreciate that. I'm mulling over the idea of changing my settings to include more calories per day. Right now its set at 1350 (as I figured I'd eat…
