Doro Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Hello everyone! I'm a 17 year-old vegan from Hessen in Germany. I am vegan for about a year and a half and before I was a vegetarian for about two years. A friend of mine recommended me this forum to realise my intention to get a fitter body and lose some weight. Since I go to school I have problems with my weight. However, I managed in the last years to get a better fitness but it's not yet as good as I want it to be. I tried many ways of sport: swimming, thai-boxing, riding, going to the gym and finally also home training. Parallel to sports I pay attention to what I eat. Another problem is that my digestion is very sensitive. A problem is my motivation to do the required sports.As I said, I improved but didn't reached my goal. I weigh 70-71 kilos by 1,69 m. My BMI is 25, so I've got a little overweight. But this fact is not the cause why I try to get a better fitness. I'm discontent with the way I look. My goal is to lose at least 10-15 kilos and got a body for which I needn't to be ashamed of. I hope you can help me if I have any questions or need help. It's very motivating to have such a big community with people who have similar aims. Thank you for listening.

robert Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Welcome to our awesome TEAM! We have so many vegans from Germany! This is awesome! It is great to get people on here from all over the world, but especially cool when there are many from the same regiion so they could possibly meet up. Like out in Virginia there are a bunch of board members who have met up, out here in Oregon there are 3 forum members living in the same apartment (veggymeggy, V VII Hero (topher), and myself (robert). And we have a bunch of people from Texas and other areas where some of the members of the forum live close enough to one another to meet up in person. Please explore the forum and website and get lots of great tips from the the people here, and of course you can count on support from the awesome people here. Welcome! -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

veggymeggy Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Are there just tons of vegans in Germany, or is just coincidence that we have so many on this forum?If there are really so many vegans there maybe I'll just pack my bags and head your way! Anyways - welcome! Nice to meet you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lelle Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 i don't think that there are many vegans in germany, i would say veganism is by far more popular in the states than in europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
