Re: How long have you been vegan?
It was my New Year's resolution this year, so six months and nine days. I'd been going vegan and failing and going back and forth from lacto-ovo vegetarianism for four years, and had been l-o for some years before trying veganism for the first time. Finally this year I've really done it! :)

It's odd how there's so many on that poll who became vegan around 2004/5. I wonder why that is? Maybe there was something that happened around that time that got people's attention?
Yes, this thread was created, and was active. :)
I didn't add 2006 as an option until a few days ago (didn't think of it).

Re: How long have you been vegan?
Last month was my one year anniversary of becoming vegan...I made a few mistakes at the start (and probably still do unintentionally), but I feel great for doing my best at being a vegan:D

Re: How long have you been vegan?
Around the end of November it would two years. WOW.
What should I celebrate with? Maybe I'll attempt a vegan "cheese"cake and stuff my face with that.
-
Re: How long have you been vegan?

tigerlily, that cheese cake sounds delicious.

Re: How long have you been vegan?
Hehehe. I have to find a good recipe. A lot seem to require a graham cracker crust and all the graham crackers I find contain honey. :(
-
Re: How long have you been vegan?
You can use pretty much any cookies for that kind of crust - I use ginger nuts when I make lemon tofu cheesecake, I think that's a really yummy combination :)
I'll have been vegan for 10 years next February. I may have to have a party :D

Re: How long have you been vegan?

Re: How long have you been vegan?
Since the early 90s roughly, I was vegan without knowing it if that makes sense,and before that I was veggie from 11 years old.

Re: How long have you been vegan?
I've been a vegetarian since the beginning of March of this year and a vegan since June or July. My skin looks nicer, and I lost fifteen pounds right away even though I was eating like mad. My weight eventually stabilized right where I think it's probably natural for me. It's strange; now when I see a piece of meat, I see a piece of animal. I never was able to make that connection before, no matter how hard I tried. The mind is a strange creature, I guess...
It hasn't been that difficult. I hated milk before I was ever vegan or even vegetarian -- hadn't had any plain since I was twelve and just flat out refused to continue drinking it. Yogurt made me feel queasy. So did eggs. The only dairy I have to worry about now is in baked goods and such, and seeing as I can find replacements that don't seem to alter the flavor, that's no problem.
And one last thing -- my allergies are almost completely gone. I had a sniffly nose this fall, but otherwise, they are gone. They used to be horrible all year round.

Re: How long have you been vegan?
I wish I had marked the day that I made the switch but alas I didn't. It's been about a year for me though and I must say that once I got past the initial withdrawals it's been as easy as vegan pie :).
-
Re: How long have you been vegan?
17 months now:D after being veggie since 6 - 26 years veggie,
-
Re: How long have you been vegan?
Over a year, Veggie for 7 years or so...
-
Re: How long have you been vegan?
Veggie since '96 (i was 7), and vegan since 14th April '06 (aged 16)! ;)
-
Re: How long have you been vegan?
I went veggie in late '82, then vegan in late '84
and it still feels like the best decision I ever made

Re: How long have you been vegan?
I've been a veggie for just over 10 years. My daughter became a vegan 5 months ago and I started 4 months ago.
I'm surprised there aren't more long term vegans. I was hoping to see more with 20+ years. I cycle a great deal, last year I road over 13,000 on my bicycle. Are there any athletic types here? How has being a vegan affected you
FYI: I'm 54 years old.
Thanks
