Hello everyone! I'm 23, 5'5, and 133 pounds. I'm really looking to get back down to 120 (so I can keep wearing my lovely clothes!) I'm vegan, and it would be especially great if there's another vegan in this group! If anyone needs a fitness buddy to stay motivated, I'm in. I could really use one too!

    Hey, our stats are pretty similar. :) I'm 26, 5'5" and about 132 right now. Hoping to get down to around 120ish though I'm not entirely sure on my final goal. I used to be vegetarian but it was too difficult to do while living with a bunch of meat eaters! I'll send you a friend request!

    Hey!

    I'm 25, 5'3" and around 135. I'm also looking to get back to the 120 mark. I was a vegetarian through high school and part of college, but I was awful about looking out for my health. It didn't help that I lived in a dorm room with no kitchen in college and ate out of a cafeteria for the most part. I quickly became anemic and decided to give it up. It was tough going back to eating meat, but I try to stick to seafood and poultry for the most part. Red meat and I just do not get along.

    I'll add you as a friend, feel free to do the same if you want!

    Yeah red meat usually makes my stomach hurt. Pork, too! I can handle beef if it's super lean but otherwise, not really. I grew up hardly eating any red meat because my mom didn't eat it then either. I usually do at least one vegetarian dinner a week now as well. Luckily my husband isn't a hardcore meat eater! He does still like meat from time to time, though, so I doubt I'll go back to being veggie. Too much money, time, and effort involved, and I can be kinda lazy, haha.
