Newly vegan

I went to a vegan thanksgiving potluck today and was so inspired. I am going to try veganism and would love some friends! My name is Brittany. I'm 207.2lbs and just started using weight watchers. I'm trying to learn to be more healthy and conscious of what I eat. I want to take care of myself!

    Feel free to add me. I'm pretty new at being a vegan, too, but so far, I'm loving it! I really don't miss the foods I'm not eating. Most vegan meals I've tried are very tasty and filling. I should have done this years ago!

    Hi,
    Add me too if you like. I am vegan for about three years and am somewhat food obsessed! I too dont miss the food that I am not eating although occasionally I miss desert when eating out but I am sure I dont really need cake....ever.

    Count me in as well. My main resources for inspiring recipes have been Forks over Knives and The Lean By Kathy Freston.

    I would love to have some more vegan friends.
  • Sending you a friend request - I'm a new vegan too. Love it so far. I realized whenever I find my self craving some animal product I used to enjoy, it's not because I miss the taste, but just because it was such a habit. I've also discovered the reason for me personally not to eat animal products is so much stronger than my desire to eat them.

    I've been vegan for three years. I've lost weight and significantly dropped my cholesterol since my diet change. I love to cook and rely very little on processed foods in my diet. Feel free to send me a friend request.
