Just wanna say hi to everyone and introduce myself. Im a 20 year old lacto-ovo vegetarian going raw vegan to sort my health out and hopefully drop a few pounds. Like 100 of them. :)
 
Hi elysianstar,
Welcome to the WLF and best of luck to you on this journey!

I started out with 100 or so pounds to lose as well, and the biggest thing that has helped me is the knowledge that this is just one day, one pound and sometimes one meal at a time!

You CAN do it :)

Best of luck to you,

Welcome to WLF. Your diet sounds cool.

Keep posting in your diary and ask all your questions here. This forum is an awesome tool for weight loss. We are all helping each other with encouragement and lots of laughs. It is the main reason I have been able to sustain my effort this time. I've got three months behind me.

Keep at it! Do you have a before photo to compare yourself to? I could see a difference of ten pounds show in my face. You may find you lose a lot in the first couple weeks. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day.
I start drinking after breakfast and lunch. It satisfies that craving to put something in your mouth.

I had the same question. This is the Newcomers section. You want to go to the diary section and start a new thread and keep going back to it with your latest post. You'll really enjoy getting feedback from other members. I'll look for you.
 
Hi and welcome.

I'm really impressed that you're taking the step to a vegan diet. I'm veggie myself, and have thought about going vegan in the past to lose weight, since I've never met an overweight vegan, but I don't think I could do it. I enjoy cheese and yoghurt too much.

Anyway, you've come to the right place to get all the advice and support you need.
