Hello! My name is Shilah. My family (except my 18 year old son who wants no part in it) started a 6 week vegan challenge 6 days ago (3/16/14). My partner and my other 3 children jumped on board...for the most part. Our motive is to eat a healthier diet that does not contribute to the torture and/or death of innocent animals. I am also very overweight and looking to lose weight and keep it off. So far so good. We have been about 85% vegan and 100% vegetarian. The no meat is easy and not a difficult adjustment. Vegan is much more challenging. I am looking for support, information and recipes. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
