New from California

Hello! I just joined a few days ago when I found the MFP app for my phone. Over the last 2-3 years I have been steadily gaining weight, so I decided it was time to reverse the process. Over the summer, my dad was diagnosed with advanced heart disease and had to have a bypass, which was a shock to all of us since he is exceptionally healthy and very active. As a result, my family has done a lot of research and talked to his doctors and decided that a vegetarian/near-vegan diet was the best fit for our family to stay healthy. The transition has been difficult for me, especially when I am in situations when I cannot prepare my own food, and my friends and boyfriend are not always supportive of my efforts to get healthy. I hope to find friends on here who will help motivate me and keep me on the right track
