Posted Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 11:02 PM I have completed 20 days on the vegan diet and I am so happy with making this accomplishment. To be honest I did not think I was going to make it at first because under the norm I have a hard time sticking with a diet. My blood sugar levels are doing great and I have lost some weight in the process. How long have you been on the diet and what ups and downs have you had? http://bettyvshelena.wordpress.com/ www email

Posted Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 12:08 AM LOL @fiji51904 I was just counting my days from dec 20th 2009. It appears we went to a vegan diet on the same date. haha @ cherokee925 Congrats! The hardest part is now over! This forum is great for inspiration on those hard days! I think by doing lots of research & cooking of different things helped/helps me from not wanting to return to the SAD. I also learned to really listen to my body and what it wants and try to fill that without grabbing cheese or a burger etc. I am sure we all have slip ups or situations we might not be able to eat what we want, but we are only human. www

Posted Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 6:49 AM I've been vegetarian since May 2000 and vegan since the January 2010 Kickstart. Initially the hardest part was social functions, especially those business luncheons with a set menu. But I've learned there is almost always a salad, I take my own dressing and enjoy the company and the presentation rather than thinking the food is the reason for the event.

I did have 2 days where i ate what was available or just plain ole wanted. But then the next day i was right back on the plant based and very happy to be there. Congratulations on your success. It's nice to hear how well it is working for people! Maybe that should be a thread.....

Posted Sunday, April 24, 2011 at 7:56 AM I've been vegan for roughly 400 days, with, as cch said, a few days where I ate what I wanted or what was available. The vegan diet has made me feel amazing!! It has normalized my iron and calcium lebels, which both used to be undersupplemented. It has lowered my cholesterol to around 100-120. It has helped me recover from an eating disorder that has been with me my entire adult life. Most importantly, though, it allows me to live an ethical, environmentally sound, loving, accepting life, one in which all the creatures on this planet have equal value and bear equal concern.

I really believe I have the hang of it now and if I have a day of eating a little more than I should or a little something I shouldn't I just really want to start asap eating something simple and vegan. My getting off plan were on vacation. But I couldn't wait to get home and eat a vegan lasagne! I did do the kickstart in Sept. 2010, but got off track until January. i'm committed now and won't go back -- i feel so much better!

So I hope some of you all will be hanging around, as I'm trying to do better and need to read the posts here. Thanks to everyone who contributes, and congratulations to all!!
