Vegan. Yay or nay? (28 day challenge)

Anyone interested in doing this? I'm kind of intrigued and in the mood for a challenge. I am sure I would probably feel a million times better physically after 28 days!

I thought this thread could be helpful in inspiring us all to stick to it, share recipes, ideas and encouragement.

If you're interested, introduce yourself. Your food weakness (I have a ton!), what you hope to accomplish, when you think you'd be able to start, pics, stats, whatever you're comfortable with.

We could also use a vegan coach to cheer us on!  


Will be updating the OP frequently.

My name is Kelli Jo. I hope to kick start some healthy eating habits and lose some weight in the process.

My weakness is night time snacking.

I am also going to try to kick my pop habit. It's back in full force!

Eating vegan makes me tired and irritated. lol  

Quoting Mr. Pink:“ Eating vegan makes me tired and irritated. lol  ”

I don't think its something I could do forever. In fact I am sure I couldn't. I just want something to commit to!

Ooooo this sounds interesting.

Maybe I should try  

But I don't get paid until the 13th so what I have in my house is what I'm eating!

I'm Natalie, my food weakness is cheese!! I hope to accomplish a healthier lifestyle and lose some weight along the way!

Quoting Nat ♥:“ Ooooo this sounds interesting. Maybe I should try   But I don't get paid until the 13th so what I have in my house is what I'm eating!”

That's ok I'm broke too for the week.

Turkey is calling lol.
I really want to do this though so tell a friend! Even if they aren't on Gaga.

I'm eating beefty nachos now...with a meatloaf in the oven  

I'veactually been trying to go vegan again   but we've been too poor lol. But I think I'm going to do this.  

My vegan weakness is cheese/ice cream  My weakness in general is craving sweets late at night. I definitely want to get healthier again and lose the rest of this baby weight.

I've been wanting to try this for a while now (I <3 Dr. Oz), but my issue is I know my husband won't go for it, and it'll be soooo hard for me to stick to it when he's eating steak right in front of me, lol.

But, I am down for the challenge, and with other girls to encourage me, I might have an easier time.

I'm Cassidy.

My food weaknesses are sweets, especially chocolate. And soda pop. I had cut back on soda, but started back up again  

I hope to accomplish an overall healthier lifestyle. Drop a few pounds, get my energy back, and just feel better about myself.

I love milk in my coffee and I am very irritable without coffee. that would be my first fail of the day. I wish you the best luck though I know someone who lost A LOT of weight when she became a raw vegan.

i've been vegan for 5yrs, was raw vegan for like 5mos. if you need any advice just ask.

you dont have to be "rich" to be vegan, by societies standards my family is poor and we are vegan (myself 5yrs, my partner like 8 or 9, or son since forever because i stayed vegan while pregnant of course). you just need not buy a ton of processed shit.
