I am a student who does a lot of sitting, reading, and typing. I don't have a lot of time to cook, so I'm losing interest in the joy of eating. My clothes don't fit and its driving me batty.

I became a vegan Dec 22 2007 after reading a book that opened my eyes to the animal cruelty and the realities of what I was eating.

I have been vegetarian for 2 years and vegan for 1 year - a natural progression I believe. I became vegetarian to improve my diet and bloodwork. Then I realized that I was filling the meat/fish gap with cheese. So my transition began as a way to improve my health and it quickly became an ethical choice. The more I learned the clearer the choice became for me!

Hello, my name is Paula. I am 36 years old, 5 "8" and currently 175 pounds. I am a mother of a 6 year old boy. In the past year I have gained 40 pounds!! I was vegan for a year. I loved it. I did it because I was having food allergies. They went away after turning vegan. It was wonderful! That was pre-relationship. Now after going vegetarian, I blew up. Then I went back to eating meat and now I am my heaviest ever! I've had enough, I feel 46. So I am going back to what works for me.

I am 29 and married. I have three kids, ages 9, 7, and 5. I have a really hard time taking care of myself, because I am always worried about everyone else!

I'm 29 years old and recently got engaged! I share my life with two very noisy kitties and one crazy boxer.
I have been a vegetarian for almost 15 years and gave up all dairy products last year.
My job requires a lot of travel and I found myself getting heavier and heavier over the past 3-4 years. I haven't been eating right and pretty much stopped exercising all together. I really don't like what I look like right now.

I turned 40 in May. I am married and have a 6 yo son. I work part-time.

I'm 28, a woman, and recently completed graduate school. The stress of school and being in transition has left me 20lbs heavier than when I started, about 170 right now at 5'5. I have been lifting weights for 14 years and never stopped exercising, my diet has always been the trouble. I know plenty about healthy eating, just have trouble gauging and listening to hunger, and eating when I'm bored or stressed in the evening. I'm queer, in a relationship and am about to move, and have no idea where I'll land, or where my partner will land. I've always been independent in exercise and fitness, so I figured trying this out would help get me out of my shell a little.

Well, I'm very new to this, I found this through Google, I was looking for a support group because I just can't stand my weight anymore, and I'm a vegetarian, so this is where my research led me.
I'm 6ft3 and I'd like to get a surfer kind of body, I'm not very cute, my hair is fuzy, my teeth are all out of place, and a fat body doesn't help my confidence at all... I'm 21 and have been single for my entire life, so yeah, I want things to change, and so I decided to lose weight, at least that'll be one thing done, before taking care of the teeth and the hair... Getting my teeth done, my hair lazered and my hair fixed needs a lot of money, at least getting a diet won't cost me a thing.
Now you know a lot about me, these were some of the thing I never talk about, and barely admit to myself.

I'm a 29 year old female, who has been overweight since age 6. I've dieted a bit in the past, but only gained more weight than I've lost over time. I'm tired of all the weight yo-yoing, and would love to reclaim my life. I want to be the person I was meant to be, rather than allowing the weight to hold me back from my confidence and life goals.

I'm 30 years old and am happily married for 5+ years. We're about to begin working on getting pregnant. :) I'd like to lose 5 lbs. before the pregnancy and begin a much healthier vegan lifestyle. I've always eaten dairy and meat and have been completely meat and dairy free now for 3 days. I'm hoping removing dairy and meat will be what I need to get to a happier, healthier weight.

I've been a happy ethical vegan for two decades and have always carried an extra 10 pounds on my very short frame. This year (2009) I have successfully become a runner, having completed a 10K training program and now in the middle of a 1/2 marathon program. I run slowly, but steadily!
