That's the main reason I go to theppk...hahh

I decided until our challenge is over, I'm not going to look at vegandad since this is obviously a trigger for my team!! lol

do any of you eat quorn products? I just tried one of them for the first time the other day - the guyere "chicken" - and it was DELICIOUS! a little calorie heavy, but it could be worse.

IRIS... I've never heard of 'quorn' products actually... is it like frozen soy meat?

they're frozen fake meat products, but not soy - they're mycoprotein based (fungus, like mushrooms). I wasn't sure about it but was VERY pleasantly surprised.

I just checked my box...obviously mine had cheese in it, but I'm not sure if their other products are vegan as mine also had egg whites.

sounds good.. I just looked it up and the closest store to me in South Carolina that carrys it would be an hour away :(
grrr like no vegan barely any vegetarian stuff is sold in my area!

Most of the Quorn products are not vegan. Vegetarian yes.

So for dinner I had 'Wolfgand Puck- Organic Tortilla Soup'... and oh my gosh SOOO GOOD!! Vegan =]

Whole can:
320 calories
7g fat
10g protein

Just a quickie question. :) Have any of you gone vegetarian for health reasons? Are any of you dealing with any health issues? I have a genetic high cholesterol problem and was told I have some moderate blockages 2.5 years ago, at 32. I went veggie for a year, lost weight and then went nuts. :( Very stupid, I know. All I can do is brush off and pick back up again.

Kierr - The original reason I went vegetarian was for health reasons. I was having this AWFUL pain in my side post gall bladder surgery and I couldn't find out why. Turns out digesting meat was what caused it. I went vegan because I'm an all or northing kind of girl....not to mention my family has a problem with blood pressure and cholesterol. Everyone in my family ends up in the hospital at the age of fourty because of those problems.

I want to avoid that.

All of the animal ethics and what not just fell into place later.

Kierr- I went vegan for ethical reasons. I actually was only going to go ovo-lacto vegetarian but the more I read and watched the more I realized just how horrid the dairy and egg industry actually are. In some cases animals are treated worse and the dairy industry directly supports the veal and meat industry. For my own personal ethics I just could no longer be okay eating cheese, eggs, etc. I however was absolutely amazed about some of the health benefits to eating a balanced and healthy vegan diet and can tell a difference in my skin, hair and nails now.

Weigh in day :) 206.2

Mmhmmm!! I totally feel great now that I've come vegan


And congrats on the weigh in!:hug:

My weigh in for today: 333

Im peeved i cant weigh in just yet, there are no scales in this darn house! Im going to walk round to the chemist and see if they have any! Grr If not il have to weigh in tomorow before work!
Oh i found a new site
Fat free vegan...(i think its called) Im going to start trying those tomorow.
As sad as it sounds i went ages without bread and have started eating wholegrain wheat free organic bread...i just had beans on toast for the first time in months! O..M..G! For something so simple it was like HEAVEN!!! :D

I started to feel better and more focused spiritually aswell since going vegan, i think its the whole "saving animals lives" thing that does it for me too. I love it! When i meet a guy who loves animals im like "hello there" ;)
Always wanted to marry a vet myself, which is odd considering the ones ive met so far have been in it for the money!

IRISWHISPERS...Bellydancing is great isnt it? I always feel kinda witchy afterwards then i start appreaciating my curves more.


Iriswhispers - > :belly: Me -> :belly:


I got really skinny at one point and looked like a lollypop, im never going back to that, i'm aiming for the curvy look!
Im gonna focus on being healthy with veganism and wholegrains and see how much i shift in 2 months. Ive got til november 24th to get the rest off but ive come to the conclusion aslong as im happy :D

Did you guys lose anything since last week? Im slow enough to not have checked before reading your current weigh in! :) Adorably slow tho xxx

Aweeee *pets you*

Yes. That's what I've lost since Monday....I weigh in five day intervals instead of your standard seven days because i get antsy but I don't want to be too antsy :p

Belly dancing sounds like it'd be fun!!!! That's something I want to try as I get thinner. Right now, I'll just stick to my usual basketball and walking. I want to look pretty while doing belly dancing...not like a marshmallow in a microwave :)

Its becoming a habbit of people petting me, what does that say about me i wonder? That im as cute as a kitten (but not my kittens that used to pee up the radiator, im house trained!) :D

Bellydancing means you have to have something that jiggles, it looks better that way hence "belly" dancin....then again all you have to do is poke mine and it moves on its own! :)

Ive decided today is my day off and eat loadsa beans on toast day, cos im worth it!
I just found out one of my local shops has started labelling vegan food, whoop whoop!
I heard the US doesnt have that system, is that true? Poor you if you dont!

Congrats on your weight loss so far :D
I dunno if im looking foward to or dreading mine :/
