Thank you!

When I first went vegan I came from eating meat first, but I immediately switched. It was never really hard for me, maybe the first week or so but I kept with it because I didn't want to contribute to cruelty anymore and I wanted to do better for the environment. 
I did however use meat and dairy alternatives for the first month because my body was craving the fat, but I slowly got off the alternatives and went to a clean diet. It helped a bunch to watch "What I eat in a day as a HCLF Vegan" videos (HCLF veganism the kind of vegan I am and I honestly think it's the best diet and makes you look and feel great).
In most grocery stores you can find tofurky and daiya products which are most of the time vegan sausages and vegan cheese, they're usually where the tofu is. I don't eat these anymore but when I first went vegan I ate them because it made it easier for me.
I also used this site called Cronometer.com. You put your age, weight, and height into it and it tells you how many calories you need to eat at the very least every day. It's very helpful!

I had tofurky last year I dunno, a lot of fake meat taste like medicine. Though I like a lot of the morning star foods. 
I've also had fake dairy/cheese. I guess it's not that hard, but I've never thought of it that much. What do you substitute for egg? I need to lose weight though, but I don't know if the HCLF will work for me. Do you eat pizza?

A lot of morning star products aren't vegan sadly, just make sure you read the ingredients.
I don't really eat egg substitutes as I never liked egg's in the first place, but there are some around, but I'm not sure if you'd be able to find them in your store.
When I bake instead of using egg I use a little bit of oil, and baking soda and it usually works fine for me.

I lost over 40 pounds as a High carb low fat vegan! That's why I say it's best in my opinion.  I eat mostly rice, beans, and potatoes I always have at least one of those everyday. I usually eat burrito's or burrito bowls (Tortilla's usually have a lot of fat in them, so I like burrito bowls a lot more).  You don't need to be afraid of carbs, carbs do not make you fat, fat make you fat.  Carbs are the most important thing in our diet and I think it's important to eat at least 80% carbs in your diet, and no more than 10% fat and 10% protein. 

Daiya has vegan pizza's you can buy, but I would only have them on occasion's as they have a lot of fat in them too, I have them once every few months or so. but once a month wouldn't hurt.
I make my own pizza, it's really easy. I use a bread machine and put in 4 cups of all purpose flour, some yeast, tiny bit of oil (Like 2 tsp), pinch of salt, 1 1/3 cup water and 1 tsp of sugar for the yeast. 

Then when the dough is done, usually about 2 hours later I put any kind of tomato sauce on it, mushrooms, olives, tomatos, basil, garlic, and onion and pop it in the over for 30 minutes.

I don't use cheese substitutes on my pizza, and if I think it needs something I dip it in some warm tomato sauce and it's delicious! I usually eat half the pizza at once and have the other half for later.

Wow! Thanks for all the great info! This really helps me because I need to lose around 50 lbs.

I went to this one diet clinic, and they said no carbs are terrible for you and no fruits or anything. I don't go there anymore though. I was tested for diabetes and slow metabolism, they said I was prediabetic, but my general prac got  the same sample retested and my numbers were nowhere near as close. 

I didn't know Morning Star wasn't vegan :/ 

Thanks again for the information, I think I will go on this diet, and thinking about it more going vegan isn't really that hard. Just giving up the bad stuff can be a bit.

No problem! 
That diet clinic sounds horrible! I've have heard stories of clinic's that lie like that just so you keep coming back so they can get more money, it's terrible!

Some of morning star's products might be vegan, but I know know not all of them are, just read the ingredient's.

I'll be sending good vibes your way!
