New to the Vegan Lifestyle

A few months ago my husband and I saw the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead.  We had been juicing for a few years, but we were re-ignited in our desire to live the most healthy lifestyle possible.  A few weeks later we watch Forks over Knives.  After this movie we decided to transition our family over to a Vegan lifestyle.  This was 3 months ago and we are still in the transitioning phase.  I would say that 80-85% of our eating is vegan.  Our biggest struggle is cheese.  I have tried so many of the nut cheese and have come to realize that I need to just live without it and stop trying to find a substitute!
Our children are doing well for the most part.  We have 4 children ranging in age from 8, nearly 9 to 9 months. They too struggle with giving up cheese and will on occasion ask for meat specifically.  This is probably the hardest lifestyle change my husband and I have ever experienced, but our family is worth it!!!
