Any vegans?
Are there any vegans here on MFP? I've lost wait 5 years ago and have found I've slowly gained about half back on. Since then though, I've become a vegan so it's a little different this time. I've loved learning new recipes and am enjoying being back in the kitchen trying new things. I'm a terrible vegan though - I hate…

Also - on the event standings - is it possible to show how many times people have logged something (rather than working it out by dividing haha - I am just being lazy!). No biggy though…

He's done, I'm close! (with pics) 45kgs gone!
Hi everyone, In June 2011, my partner and I had just returned from spending a long weekend in Cairns on the Great Barrier Reef (Australia). We stayed with friends and did the touristy things - swam, ate, drunk, and had a good time. We had an excellent time away. I came home, uploaded the photos to facebook and almost died.…

A funny thing happened tonight on the way...
To dinner.. My boyfriend and I were walking and this totally hot guy slowed down and was looking at me. He was a fireman, looked like he had just come from next years calendar shoot, he wasn't even wearing a top.... Just his pants and his hat... Hmmmm. As we approached he slowed down, waited till I was past him, then…
