Spark People Shared My Story with Yahoo!

(Spark People put this photo montage together.)

Spark People contacted all of the vegans on their site awhile back asking for their stories about being vegan and losing weight.  I decided to share my story.  That was probably a month ago or so and then they contacted me again on Thursday asking me to answer more questions and to send more pictures.  They told me that they wanted to "pitch" my vegan success story to the Ellen Show and they also had an article in mind for Yahoo.  So I did my best to get everything rounded up and had it all sent to them by Thursday night.  On Friday, I received e-mails, a text message and even a phone call from Spark People saying they had the story ready to be reviewed!  That was quick!  I realized that it was already put on Yahoo's website by Friday afternoon!  Here's the story......

Some of you may know that I was vegan for a few years before becoming a HEALTHY vegan.  A vegan will not lose weight by eating processed junk like I was doing at first.  That's the only issue I have with the story...I just want to clarify that it took me focusing on healthy vegan foods to start losing weight.  But I truly believe by being vegan, I am healthier, am stronger and have more energy.
