how's everybody doing?
Hi People! How is your vegan/Lenten experience so far? Try any great new foods? After a few days of going meat/dairy/egg free, some things have become automatic - I'll get a soy latte at the coffee shop, no big deal. Although I did forget myself today and got a veggie patty at Subway with cheese (oh no!).. the lady was…

videos with resistance bands?
Hi folks. I love my new resistance bands - there are so many ways to use them to work all of your muscles. But I can't seem to find YouTube videos other than a little 2-minute demonstration of abs, arms, etc. Any suggestions for a full length workout online or DVD? Thx.

Facebook - Vegan group, Orthodox humor, etc.
Hi Gang! Can anyone recommend a vegan group on Facebook? I did a quick look and nothing really came up. Moral support, recipes, etc. would be nice. If you're in to the Orthodox thing, there a few funny pages I've come across. Some are kindof slow during Lent, but here they are: Eastern Orthodox Ryan Gosling…

Vegan cooking resources
Hey People! Below are a few websites I've seen mentioned in this group and elsewhere on MFP. Just figured I'd put them in one place for your reference. Some are associated with popular cookbooks, others are strictly web-based. If you're into Pinterest, scroll down to find Kym's recipe board. Please add your own favorite…

Meat substitute - Tempeh
Hi gang - I mentioned in another thread that I'd made tempeh for dinner and the question was, "what's that?". Well, my friends, tempeh is made from soybeans that are fermented and pressed into a patty. Many people like the hearty texture and nutty flavor. I bought some tempeh from Trader Joe's and tossed it into a veggie…

Final non-vegan meals on Sunday?
I had a Boston creme donut and croissant from Dunkin Donuts yesterday. :bigsmile: Going meat-less isn't a big deal for me, but there's so much that I love with eggs and dairy included! Thinking of what to eat on Sunday before the challenge begins. I'll probably use up a bunch of eggs/cheese/milk in the fridge making a…

Raiding your pantry
(Bear with me.. I haven't posted photos before.) I don't have a lot of food in the house today - going shopping later to get lots of yummy veggies, grains, and meat substitutes. I have a few vegetarian items in the pantry and freezer. I love Indian and Middle Eastern foods. Upon closer inspection, I found that many of them…

New group "40 Day Vegan Challenge"
Starting Monday March 18th, we're going 40 days without meat, fish, dairy, and eggs. All are welcome, whether you're trying out veganism for ethical/moral reasons, or maybe you're an Orthodox Christian observing Lent. I'm doing a little of both, personally. Experienced vegans are quite welcome, too! Healthy ideas for…

My February success - there is hope for you too!
Hi Ladies - Just wanted to share some good news. At the start of February, I started counting calories with a vengeance (~1350 per day) and doing short cardio workouts 3-5 days a week. I get up for work at 6 a.m. and there is NO WAY you could get me up at 5 to work out, so the exercise comes in AFTER kids are in bed at…
