Start Weight:	(01 Aug 07) 215.0 lb
Current Weight:	(05 Oct 07) 197.0 lb
Goal Weight:	135.0 lb

following: Vegan Diet
performance: losing 2.0 lb a week

Recently I have made the decision of going back into a vegan lifestyle.I was a vegetarian for most of my teenage years and for some reason one day 5 years ago meat once again became part of my eating habits. With this however I have slowly been gaining weight, having problems with digestion, and I am overall unhealthy. I decided recently that enough is enough.I sat down trying to see where I had gone wrong. I decided that I felt the best when meat was not part of my diet and with this I also decided to go all out and eliminate milk,eggs,butter, etc... For me personally this is the best decision I think I will have made in a long time. Good bye burgers made with greasy processed fat!!!

Bipolar and weightloss???
Thanks for the info! I have been off meds for 8 months now and find that I am much happier without all the side affects the medication had on me. I find that by exercising, trying to stay as stress free as possible, and by avoiding things that seem to trigger my moods I am fairly well off. However with this said it does not mean I will not have a melt down or go an an extreme shopping spree or anything like that. For this I have gotten the help of my family and friends. They watch for the signs(cause there are always signs) before i go off the deep end. I still talk to my doctors every month also to help monitor my moods and what may trigger or affect any of my behavior.

With this said even on the medication I was not happy. I felt more depressed than anything else and a lot of this had to do with my weight and the side affects I was having from the meds. So now I am trying to lose weight and this has been a little harder than I had expected. I figured that once the meds were out of my system(which we did slowly) the weight would start dropping off this however was not the case! I guess it is just another challange amongst a truck load of others I will have in my life..

Thanks for all your advice though!

Bipolar and weightloss???
Hi! I had been taking medication to treat Bipolar Disorder and OCD for a number of years and this year I finally had enough of all the different medications that never seemed to make that much of a difference and so I am no longer taking them. With that said, I was wondering about weightloss and if anyone has had a great deal of success?? On the medication I have gained a fair amount of weight and now no longer on the medication is seems to take my body even longer than ever before to shed any of the pounds I need to lose. Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Exercise!!!
Thanks..... I use an excel sheet now also but it would be nice to have a place to caculate calories burned vs calories eaten.

Exercise!!!
I am new to this site and I was simply wondering, if there is anywhere on here to keep track of exercise and what you have eaten or do you need to enter it into a journal all the time??? It would be great if there was a place to track calories burned etc.....
