Just thought I'd drop in an introduce myself before I start picking minds and gathering advice. I'm almost 28 and living outside Denver, CO (Castle Rock for now). I have been vegan for around 2.5 years and vegetarian for around 5. I used to be very over-weight but now days I am mostly scrawny and in need of some "toning up". I eat healthily for the most part but would like some help with developing a weight training routine and supporting diet. The major obstacle is that I have a unusual work schedule. 2pm-12:30am 4 days a week. I have struggled putting on weight in the past. I will open another thread under the appropriate section for this topic. I am vegan for pretty much all the reasons. Ethical, health and environmental. I'm interested in meeting fellow vegans/vegetarians in the area and look forward to getting involved in the site. I am into bike riding, going to shows, hiking...pretty much anything that sounds like fun. Regards, -T
