First weigh in after 7 months of ignoring the scales and sticking to a plant based diet. We moved into the van 2 months ago and have been eating out at the vegan restaurants and pizza places in this new area!
No pics of the van sorry as its hardly built. Its really just a big kids cubby house setup in the back of my mother in laws garden hehe. Hopefully when we get a proper kitchen made we will be eating out less. It has been a challenge to turn down her food. She feels we both need feeding up. Alas she is a big meat and dairy eater. (cakes cakes and more cakes!)
The holiday feast will be interesting. Ive volunteered to cook and host it in her house. Íts this saturday, so they all have a chance to eat another non-vegan feast someplace else on the actual date.
Seeing as I have had no meat for a year I figured it wise to get a doctors check in. Blood pressure is excellent, blood work is great except for iron and slightly low on zinc. I am anemic but I was already before switching to a plant based diet. I was happy to see I no longer have megaloblastic red blood cells and that my b12 levels are great. My ferritan levels though are very low at 2. So I am currently on iron supplements. I know though that this is not due to the diet but to the amount of tea I drink and the current female hormonal age change in life. Unfortunately the tannins/caffeine in tea and coffee interfere with non-heme iron absorption by up to 80%. The doctor said he never heard of that before but then I aint surprised to hear that from a doctor. (sorry doc might have to find another) Sooo I now have to give up my final last bad habit in life. ugh my tea is sacred to me, ive been drinking it since 8 years old!
Hope everyone has a fun, foodwise and safe holiday season.

I would say 50.4 is the same as reaching my goal weight.
My total loss is 25kg and I am the slimmest I have ever been.
My stomach is flat and my elbows keep knocking against hip bones!
I havent obsessed about food for a couple of weeks. I think keeping it simple has helped this. (fruit for snacks, salad for lunch, baked potato and beans every night for dinner) I dont eat breakfast and some days skip lunch. But I always eat a huge dinner followed by a healthy dessert and go to bed satisfied.

The only thing left to do is tone up as I definitely could use some muscle mass.
I plan to stick to a plant based diet for the rest of my life and can no longer imagine eating meat.

Hubbys weight 83.6kg. He has a bad cold right now and I am monitoring him. I feel he doesnt eat enough greens and that is important when you omit other food groups. Hes not a salad type of guy and would rather pop some vitamins..hmm bit of a worry. Gonna go google up some soups for him!

I hope everyone is doing well, being healthy with their choices and reaping the rewards x
