Trying to finish what I started

Hi, I'm new to MFP. I have lost 116 lbs. already but I'm stuck at the last 25. I'm 45 years old and an ethical whole-foods vegan. I'd love to make friends here and get support to cross that finish line and perhaps, help others.

My hobbies include reading, writing and animal rights advocacy. I love to cook and have a blog with my recipes which will one day, hopefully, become a cookbook.

Looking forward to meeting you!

    Animal rights activist, huh? Well, I have a closet full of fur coats from minks, foxes, and chinchillas (yes, they make those). Lol I'm joking!

    I hope so. There's nothing funny about animals being tortured and killed for fur.

    I'm here to get support for my diet, not have to defend my ethics.

    Yes, I am incredibly sorry for making my inconsiderate joke. Congrats for losing 116 pounds, and good luck on the rest.

    Welcome! There are lots of vegans here - I suggest you post something like "looking for vegan friends" - and hopefully you won't get responses that exhibit such poor taste.

    Congratulations on your incredible achievement so far!

    That's great. I hope to meet a lot of people on here. It's hard to do it alone. Thanks for replying :smile:
