Hey Yall!! I am in! 5'4 at a luscious 214lbs, with 50+ to lose. So what is the game plan? Are we all going to post weekly any successes we have had in either weightloss/fatloss/inches loss?

Hahaha PwrLftr82, you are funny!!

How did you determine the amount of protein you need? Quinoa, black bean noodles, combination of beans and rice are all great choices for vegan protein. Of course Sunwarrior, Plant Head and Plant fusion are good choices for protein powder. The key to getting enough protein is making sure to have a balanced vegan diet. Also…

You look amazing, keep up the good work girlie!!!!

Hi! I am definitely in for the July challenge. So a little about myself. My name is Sherah and I am an on again off again raw vegan. I decided to go to a raw vegan lifestyle because I have digestive issues which increased with the typical american diet. I have ibs.And I can remember times where my stomach hurt so bad that…

Lol yeah going cold turkey can make you a bit crazy! But I feel for me this was the only way. But I tend to be extreme when making changes in my life. I think when I first tried to go raw vegan I transitioned into it and I was not really serious about it because I was still eating cooked processed food with some raw or I…

Hi Kimber507 I have not tried Coconut milk in a smoothie yet but I have tried Plain Almond milk and I really like the taste. Almond milk is very smooth and it helps bring the sweetness out in the fruit. If you try coconut milk, let me know how it taste please.

@ Ghanie, I also observe passover so I am wondering what I will do when it comes around next year because you lamb is part of the feast during that time. It usually depends on what I have at my house, when it comes to a green smoothie. This morning I put 1 mango, cantaloupe, blackberries, 1 banana, 4TBS of hemp protein…

Hi ghanie, I get alot of calories so much more than when I was eating meat/fish. I would average around 1700-1800 calories when I was eating fish now I eat around 2000-2980 and I know you may thing OMG you are going to get fat lol but I have lost weight since switching to being raw. I also workout crazy so I have to eat…

Hi Alex8118 I actually decided one day that I was going cold turkey lol no pun intended. But I really didnt eat much meat anyways. I mainly ate fish and rarely some beef. I decided to go cold turkey because I felt that was the best thing for me. I am currently going through the detoxing stage of going raw and its not fun…

Protein is not something that only comes from animals products. I workout constantly so I use raw protein powders. Hemp protein powder is a good option and so is Garden of Life Raw protein powder. But protein can come from nuts, seeds and beans. It is really not hard to get the protein requirement being a vegan. Also I…

Great Challenge!! I am in!

Mmart, you are so right! I had the best homemade avacodo dressing!! Never thought I would be making my own salad dressings lol.

So today was the 1st day of getting back to the raw vegan lifestyle and it was such a great day!!! I was vegan and raw vegan for a short period of time then I went back to eating fish and rarely some beef but I decided to get back to living a clean, healthy lifestyle. I am 100% raw. Please check out my journey through…

Welcome to MFP, it is really a great community to be apart of. I am glad to see that you have realized you are undereating because I think that is the first step to figuring out a good plan for weightloss. When I actually saw how many calories I was eating I was kinda shocked. Some of the food I would eat had more calories…

Good Challenges, will start tomorrow!

Hey Rabbit, I saw your post asking about vegan protein drinks and I love this protein powder called Lifetime Life's Basic Plant Protein. It has Pea, Hemp, Rice and Chia Seeds in it. I think it is so delicious, it kinda reminds me of cake, hmmm. You can blend it with berries or greens. You can get on their website and look…

Thanks Supercool!

Nut meat? What does that taste like, is it good? I really do not like the taste of the imitation meats, is it similar in taste?

Hey Girlie, I am a vegan!!! What type of meals are you looking to make? I make this tofu scrambler with firm tofu, liptons's veggie soup mix, garlic powder, onion powder and curry powder. It is really delicious!!!
