Vegan lifestyle begins

Hi! Just looking for some new friends and support as I am trying to maintain a healthy diet and continue training for a half marathon AS WELL AS starting a 30 day vegan challenge to see if I can sustain those changes in my life.

Any other vegans out there?

    I'm newly vegan - I've only been vegan for two months now, but have been vegetarian for nearly 15 years.
    If you aren't already familiar with them, Pinterest and Foodgawker are awesome resources for vegan recipes! Good luck :D

    Why are you going vegan? I've been a vegan for 15 years. Going vegan is no miracle healthy diet you can have unhealthy vegan diets the same way you can have healthy ones containing animal products. I'm not trying to put you off as I applaud anyone going vegan I just sees this idea that it's some miracle diet. It's not I became morbidly obese as a vegan.

    What I will say is do your research it takes a while to balance out a vegan diet as planning your meals etc is totally different. Good luck
