Thanks a lot for your experiences, I really appreciated them!

Thank you for your advice and experiences! Were you big on counting calories? How many meals per day? These are the type of stories that discourage and confuse me however. I know everyone's body type is different, but I see and hear about so many people who are basically doing the same thing I'm doing but are experiencing results 10 times greater than mine. Thanks again for your help and suggestions I do truly appreciate them, any bit of advice I can get I'm glad to receive!

Thanks for the info! How long did it take you to lose that much? What did you do in terms of exercise? Thanks for the reply

Hello, I'm a 23 year old woman. 5'3 and about 155 pounds. I've recently become vegan within the past few months, so I'm still coming into it and trying to get completely adjusted. I know the foods that I eat now are not bad, but I'm not sure if I'm getting enough of everything I need or are eating the right foods at the right times. I would like to know how much I should be eating and how often. I eat mostly fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts and so forth. I've also recently started taking a soy protein powder. As far as exercising is concerned I've tried a few things. At first I just did cardio machines, but my boyfriend told me I needed to do some resistance training as well. That went well at first, I was able to lose 20 pounds, but then hit a plateau! I then tried P90X, a at home fitness program. Upon doing it though I regained some weight! Although I did notice some nice changes after a month of the program. My boyfriend says the weight I gained is muscle, and gaining muscle is good for burning fat. I am still concerned that my diet and exercise programs are not being as effective as they could be. I know I might be a little impatient, but I still feel as though MY RESULTS AREN'T MATCHING MY EFFORTS! I work really hard in the gym, and would go 3-5 times a week for about an hour and a half. I hear so many different things about what to eat and what to do in order to lose weight! I'm so confused and discouraged! Can you guys please help!
