Hi, I'm Thermy a.k.a. Cathy. I'm 26, from Australia and I'm a very recent Vegan convert after being Vegetarian for almost 8 years. The most unhealthy part of my diet was the amount of cheese I was eating. Now that I'm making the change to veganism my diet is looking much healthier. Always room for improvement though.

I'm calling my lifestyle change "Operation: Phase Two" as I'm looking as everything up until this time in my life "Phase One" and "Phase Two" is the beginning of the healthy me.

I've had significant problems sticking to healthy lifestyle changes in the past, usually giving up after only a couple of weeks. This time I've decided I do need support since every other time I've gone it alone. I'm hoping by becoming an active member on this forum I'll find the community I've been looking for.

I've also created a blog on 3 fat chicks to record my journey, describe my plans and discuss my goals.

Welcome!

welcome and good luck on your journey!

Welcome to the forum, and good luck!

Thanks for the welcome guys! Doing really well today. I got my fitbit and it encouraged me to do a walk at the end of my run just so I could get 10,000 despite only putting it on at 1pm. Looking forward to seeing you all around the site!
