Welcome to the hottest thread on the block

Congratulations on your
weight loss!!

I know what you mean about having a place to relate to others. I am the fattest one in my family on both sides I think...well I have an aunt (my uncle's X wife) who is much fatter than me, but I do not see her often. Come to think of it, I miss her a bit LOL she is so cool and so much fun!!
The
vegan lifestyle rox!! When i was a teenager I tried the
atkins diet for two days and could not eat meat for 5 years after that lol. In fact, it was a gradual progression to
vegan...first i was
vegetarian then I stopped eating fish, then eggs, then I got tired of beans and I hated protein shakes...then I started to have problems, so I started to eat chicken again. Moral of the story? There is none I guess. Just make sure you are getting all of what you need, I approached it from an uneducated angle and suffered the consequences. I am planning on being
vegetarian again after I reach my goals, I think its the perfect maintenance plan...for me anyways. When I was
vegetarian I stayed the same exact weight for years.
Sooo cool

we are the same height

and you are extremely near to being out of the 200's
