When I Started:
Sep, 2009
How I Started:
I initally started working out when I was about 13, kept at it pretty hardcore till I was about 17. Kinda fell off the bandwagon for a few years. AT the beginning of this year- January 2009... I decided to go vegan. Doing that definitely helped me control my weight, but now- September 2009, I would like to get back to a regular gym schedule and transform my skinny fat into an enviable body powered by a vegan lifestyle!
Why I Love It:
Working out gets me in "the zone" and I just tend to forget about everything else going on in my life. It's great stress relief too.
When I walk out of the gym, I feel so energized and happy and ready to take on the world!
How I Stay Motivated:
By knowing that if I achieve my goals, I can encourage other female vegans to get in shape and not rely solely on their diet as of means to stay "healthy".

Transform my body following a vegan diet and daily fitness lifestyle.
Goal (Long):
I have been Vegan since the middle of January 2009, I have found that there are not many women who follow a vegan diet that are fitness enthusiasts.
My goal is to transform my body through fitness and proper vegan nutrition and become an inspiration for women who are vegan to make fitness a part of their lifestyle!
I have been following CT for quite some time (aprox. 2 years!) and all her progress and she has definitely been a cornerstone in inspiring me to pursue a fitness lifestyle! Thanks CT. Don't eva change! Your body is magnificent and a temple... and I know you realize that! :)
It has definately helped my muscle gains as I got up to 280 at one point..which I thought was TOO big...but I also put alot of fat on too :-( I think some of us ME being one of them are just better off veggie..but I just cant with my goals. I'll be very interested to see you progress...Like I said when I first went veggie, I lost over a hundred lbs in a year...and I think was the healthiest I've ever been..
Thrive?? havent heard of it, But i will for sure look into it.. No, I'm not vegetarian anymore...If you look at my progress pics, the 1st 2 I have up were from my vegan days..I was ALOT leaner and did look better imo, but my goal changed around then I wanted to break the 200lb mark and just couldnt do it on the veggie diet. I started out slow going to eggs then poultry I just started eating red meat again about 6 months ago
I was just curious..I was a strict vegan for 2 to 3 years...I lost alot of weight..100lbs the first year but found I had a hard time building any muscle...the bv value of soy protein is so low that you have to ingest a BOAT load of it to make any muscle gains...I wish you the best of luck...!!
