It's about time I join something like this! I've been a lacto-ovo for 26 years, and am planning on going vegan. Am tired of supporting factory farming in all it's cruelness. I have twin girls (5 m os. old) and plan on rasing them veg. Am looking to meet people, swap recipes and make a difference.

Good for you - you'll be in good comopany here. Check out the recipie forums - they are great. There are also the 'Weaning of Dairy' and 'Weaning off Eggs' threads in the Vegan forum that might help

Best of luck

Congrats! I'm sure you will be happy about this decision! After many years as an ovo/lacto veg, I dropped the egg and dairy (for ethical reasons) and, soon after, 10 lbs as well. I feel great, better than I have in years (and I didn't feel too bad then). After the first week, not only did I not miss cheese, but I was sort of repulsed by the thought of it. It was as though everything tasted better without the dairy muddling my senses. I should have done it sooner. Best of luck!
