New and newly vegan

I'm new to this Site and hoping to find some other vegans. A little about myself. At the start of the year I got the flu pretty bad and couldn't. Shake it. I decided I needed to take care of me. I was 250lbs at 5'2. I decided to adopt a vegan lifestyle. Currently I'm 210lbs. I'm hoping to find support of like minded individuals. I'm also new to jogging and if anyone has tips that would be great. I've been overweight most of my life and just want to find good health through natural food and exercise. My goal is to get my weight to about 135.
