Hi Community
I am Shehla, I really want to lose weight. I have seen all my friends lose so much and then I have been motivated by them. But I just can't seem to lose it as quickly as them. I have taken on a vegan lifestyle in hopes of a healthier lifestyle, but I just get so side tracked with the not so healthy version of vegan yummies. But I am not willing to quit.

Good luck to you!! Dont worry about them, you'll lose, just make sure to adjust your deficit after a couple of weeks if you havent lost weight yet. Feel free to ask questions if you have them1

Hiii Shehla!!
We’re in the same boat! I’ve had a love/relationship with MFP for years . like you I’ve recently made the change to a plant based diet and I’m committed to stick to it! I’m excited to actively be part of this community and I really look forward to meeting like minded people. Good luck on your journey!!0 -
I am new to a plant based lifestyle as well, but have lost over 15lbs in 1.5 months since I began...don’t give up! You got this!0
