Default New fat vegan from Austria
Hi!

I'm Jana from Vienna/Austria! (English is not my native language, so please turn a blind eye to my difficulties with grammar and tenses!)

I'm 33, married. I went vegan in January this year.

I weigh almost twice as much as I should (244 lbs.)

I’ve not always been this grossly over-weight. I can’t really say what started it all. Must have been a number of things coming together.

This has to end because I tire much too quickly.

Well, that’s it for now.

I wish us all much determination on our way to reach our goals!

I only lost minimal weight (about 4 lbs).
The problem is: I love pasta and there is vegan ice-cream
The good thing though: I didn't gain any extra weight.
Best wishes!

Hi Jana!

I live in Vienna too (i'm originally from England but i've been here since 2007). Good luck with your weight loss! I've found i've lost a few pounds since i've been living near Prater, it's not so easy to talk my way out of running now!

viel Erfolg!

ps: where can you get vegan ice cream in Vienna? My flatmate will love me forever if I tell her that!

Welcome. Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.

Hi Claire!

"Eissalon am Schwedenplatz" has 6 varieties now: cacao, nocciolone, raspberry, almond, hazelnut and pistachio. At Billa you get two of those flavors together in one small container.

Good luck Jana!

I was vegan for 6 months when I was 16... there are some amazing vegan recipes, but I am vegetarian now so I eat dairy products. What is your goal weight?
