Bookish, 30 lbs to lose, Seeking Lively-minded Friends

Bebe1000

Hi. Would like to meet a diverse, though ideally, fairly consistent, group of weight loss, support friends.

I'm trying to lose a lot of weight (30 lbs!) while staying vegan and gluten free. Sadly, I put on this excess weight AFTER becoming vegan, about four years ago. i started eating much more of foods, in my daily diet, that I'd always used previously in moderation: raw nuts, raw nut butters, good olive oil, dark chocolate, coconut based ice-"cream", etc... Allowing myself, nutritionally void, GF food "treats", as a reward for all the other restrictions in my diet. Bah! Now i'm losing the weight and the lax attitude. Could use some fitness friends.
