I am so happy to have found this message board, I wish I knew about it sooner! :)

My new years resolution this year was to become a vegetarian and I have had success...as a matter of fact I didn't slip up even once. Actually the resolution was to ditch meat AND soda. SUCCESS!! :D

I felt so good, it was a total transformation. I kept researching veganism and the perils of dairy but didn't believe for a second I could ever do that. Well...eventually you get to the point that you have enough info. that continuing as you are is just not an option. So, that said, I now have 4 days 100% vegan under my belt! PERFECT time to find this forum!!

Now...off to read... :D

Welcome MarieAnn,

Congratulations on your vegetarian success.

I can relate, because I also first "gave up" meat and junk, and only later gave up dairy after reading The China Study and viewing a couple of Dr. McD videos.

Dr. McD makes a library of information freely available. Also people here share practical tips from their personal responses.

Thanks all for the warm welcome.

Day 5 and so far it's pretty easy going. Maybe I'm one of the fortunate few who won't struggle (please!) but I keep waiting for the cravings and they don't come. I think it's because over the course of this whole year I have weaned myself down to very little dairy.

I already feel lighter and cleaner. :)

Day 6, unexpected results already:

Softer skin.
Easier and longer sleep.
1 and a half lbs. weight loss and I wasn't even looking for weight loss!
But I think the biggest thing is my moods are so even and I feel so much calmer and mellow. I feel lighter and cleaner and just calm and not so "shakey."

Never thought by 6 DAYS I'd be able to brag about results! :)
