This Month at VegFamily
VegDieters - the first website devoted to vegan and vegetarian weight loss - is live! Though we are open and running we are making improvements to the site as we get feedback. So we are accepting members from within the VegFamily community at a discounted membership rate. Join now and you will lock in your discount rate even after we launch to the public at the full rate. Sign up here for more info and to get the free VegDieters weight loss newsletter. (Pssst - email support@veganweighdown.com for the prelaunch discount code!)
