After gaining 100lbs, and working my tail off to lose only 30 of it in a year, I went back vegan. The first two weeks, I lost 16lbs. I lost a full 35 in the 1st month. I won't say I ate unhealthy, I just ate too much, and since vegan food is lower in calories (I don't do the soy thing, mainly raw fruits and veggies with the occasional pasta and bread once a week), it's just been dropping off. I'm now from an 18 to a 12 in about 2 months, and still going strong. Maybe its all the pooping.... I was a vegetarian, and thin, and then went back omni.

First what was your diet like before you became one ... Second what was your weight before you became one ..... Third the age at which you did you become one (the older you are the more weight you carry throughout your body of undigested and (so to speak) stuck fat .... Forth what do eat now ... For me I was 15 .. ..always liked healthy foods .. my weight prior to becoming one was fine .... and I eat a lot but healthy and am not overweight at all now ..

They vegetarian food, like the morningstar brand(my favorite) is sooo good for you, so low in calories and pretty high in protein, check that stuff out and you will probably do quite well!

Fist I gained a little weight, then I lost a whole stone, then when I discovered things like vegan ice cream and vegan muffins - I put a little more on! I think it totally depends on your current body weight and food intake etc etc. Perhaps go and see a dietician for advice? Go you – I’m happy to hear your doing it for the animals!

I gained about 8 pounds the first month of becominga vegetarian! I ate fruit, grains, veggies, cereals, a little cheese and milk too. The occasional eggs also! Absolutely no meat when I became a total vegetarian. I wasn't a total vegetarian until I gave up fish too which was the last meat I gave up! Those that do vegetarian life style eating poorly might lose weight but with a proper vegetarian diet you probably won't lose or gain much weight! It's a total myth that everyone loses weight becoming a vegetarian. It might be true of a vegan though! People often get vegan and vegetarians mixed up! No weight lost!

I was vegetarian for over a year and then turned vegan...Have been for almost 10 months now... I haven't had meat since I was 14, am now 16. It depends on your body type I guess, I've always had a healthy weight so that's probably why my body didn't respond? Haha, I don't know..Sorry. I didn’t lose any at all.

But that depends on the person, because I have a friend that lost about 15 pounds since she became vegan. Actually, I lost some weight, but only a few pounds (about 5 pounds).

It really depends on whether you were overweight to begin with. The more overweight you are, the more you would lose. Obviously the obese would lose the most, so the obese would win all the contests if it was the most pounds. I think it's better to look at the percentage of weight lost. Like if you lost 100 pounds and you weigh 100 pounds now then you lost 50%. If you lost 100 pounds and weigh 200 pounds now then you lost 33.3% yeah … it’s not a fixed number.
