Guest Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hey, everybody! Introducing myself was always one of the most difficult things for me to do, but I'll try my best I've been vegetarian for about 2 years and vegan for about 1 year. In case you're wondering - no, it isn't difficult to be vegan in Lithuania. Of course, we don't have as much vegan junk-food and 101 flavors of soy milk, but other than that, it's pretty much the same as anywhere else. Beans, legumes, veggies, fruits, nuts and seeds is all that is needed, and we've got plenty of those. I had been exercising (lifting weights) for a couple of times before, but those attempts lasted no longer than 1-1,5 months, so it doesn't really count I guess My current goal is to cut fat, so I've decreased my caloric intake (to about 2000kcal/day currently) and added cardio 2x/week on non-lifting days (I lift 3x/week). I haven't noticed any observable loss of belly-flab so far, but maybe it'll kick in a wee bit later. Or, at least, that's what I'm saying to myself in order to not get demotivated Anyway, it's nice to be here! P.S. Sorry for my poor english - I'm workin' on it!

I like your assessment of how easy it is to be vegan anywhere, I totally agree. Your English is just fine by the way. Have a great day! Welcome aboard!

Richard Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hey welcome to the forum The effects of training tend to take a few weeks before they are noticeable, keep it up and be consistent and you will see the results. Also it might be a good idea to take some photos of yourself (not necessarily to share, just for you to look at) and then take more photos in a month's time, then again in another month. That way you can keep track of what you used to look like and see what has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 I had some problems with the monitor of my PC, so wasn't able to use it for a few days. That's the reason of my late reply. Thanks a bunch, eveybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
