  • Nice post - I appreciate your service to our community!
  • Without more info, I'm with eleqtriq and vegandave - if you are avoiding the soy protein isolates and the other soy derived convenience foods, you are doing great. I'm not sure there is anything to replace these - unless you start using whole soy beans or some other legume. Tell us more and we can be more helpful :wink:
  • I'm going with The Princess Bride. The Big Lebowski, Hot Fuzz, The Matrix, Last Samurai are all up there though
  • Interesting to see what people did for baseline - being new, I assumed there was one workout :) Great work everybody! It feels good to see those times drop!

  • Despite all reports and media portrayals to the contrary, we do exist :)
  • For me - a newcomer to the world of CrossFit - this is what it's all about - facing that thing that scares you head on and beating it. Good for you!
  • I'm still completing my foundations course - last one on Monday! After resting yesterday and sleeping in a bit too late this morning, I decided to challenge myself with 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Air squats to push ups. Finished in 6:29. I'm looking forward to joining the level 1 class next week.

  • You are welcome to add me as well. See, look at all the support! Team Vegan rocks :)

I'll second what others have said about the hemp proteins - they don't dissolve well. That said, TJ's chocolate hemp powder with almond milk and some natural peanut butter is a welcome treat…
  • Finished Week 1 yesterday. Felt really good! I had stopped for a few days because I was having leg pain. New shoes - properly fitted in a running store and everything - seem to have solved the problem. The foam roller certainly helped! Great work everyone! Keep it up!
  • Welcome! I hear you on shredding the weight for good!
  • Welcome Matt!
  • Here's an attempt and processed foods: they come in a package, they have labels, they have lobbies, there is an industry associated with them, they contain ingredients you cannot pronounce and your grandparents wouldn't have identified as food, they are made in a factory. What am I missing? IMHO - GMO foods count as…
  • My experience with protein powders available across the pond is that they have more than just protein going for them. Vega tends to include probiotics, greens, other vitamins and minerals, and fiber. I appreciate the cost concern - really, I just bought a cannister of the stuff... but I wonder if a cost:protein ratio is…
  • Hi All, Honored to join Team Vegan! I've been vegan for 18 months. I started off with Meatless Mondays and Colleen Patrick Goudreau's podcasts. I had only planned to be vegetarian - you know those vegans are soooo extreme! ;) But one thing led to another and Meatless Mondays became Meatless Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesdays.…
