  1. I am in a similar situation. I went back to the gym just over a month ago. I work out three times a week - I would like to do more but I work full time. I go twice after work when I do half an hour of cardio (I do push myself) and then an hour of weights. because of time restrictions I do upper body one night and lower body the next. Sunday is my big day. I go early in the morning and do a really good 2 hour workout - again starting with half an hour of good cardio. I lost a little weight to start with but then I put some on which is fine as I had gained a little muscle. Now I seem to be at a plateau. It is hard to find the right balance between eating enough food to keep my metabolism happy and less food to try and lose a little more weight. Belly fat is my problem. I do eat soy so after reading the previous posts I should try and cut down on that.

  2. Hello Ellie - I used to live in King's Lynn before moving to Cambridgeshire. Where did you study Animal Welfare? Before coming to the USA 18 years ago, I worked at the Cambridgeshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture at Milton near Cambridge, which is now part of West Anglia College. Small world isn't it?

  3. Hi everyone,

    I have been vegan since 1997. I used to do weight training prior to that and gave it up to pursue other forms of exercise. For the last 2 1/2 years I have been doing low impact aerobics. The classes changed to a later time which was inconvenient so now I am back at the gym and really enjoying it again. I am not trying to build, but I would like to be better toned. I am looking forward to "meeting" you all!
