in Introduce Yourself
I need some friends on here! I'm transitioning into veganism and could definitely use some like-minded support.

(I've actually lived a vegan/raw lifestyle in the past (for over two years) and have been trying to get back to that healthy place! I have the feeling that it will stick this time because I want it!)

    Hi! I am a vegetarian who eats clean 90% of the time. I am interested in veganism but not sure I am prepared to make that change just yet.

    Hey there! I have been off and on vegan for a few years. I just haven't been able to stay there. I made a commitment this last weekend and so far have stayed with it...hahahah, today is only Monday! I could use the vegan friends as well since I don't have any...all my friends and family are meat lovers and yucky milk drinkers!!! (no offense, my hubby likes that white stuff too)

    I eat clean also. I do not eat any dairy or meats at all and consider myself a vegetarian about 95% of the time. On occasion I will eat a piece of salmon.

    I was on a 21 day detox program last May and the last week and a half of it was Vegan, first week vegetarian. I give vegans credit
    because that was the hardest thing I think I've ever had to do in the way of dieting or eating. I didn't fail during that two week period
    but realized that a vegan diet was not for me, it was too hard. Well, my mind has changed since then and I'm thinking I might like
    to try it again, or at least start working my way back into it.

    You only eat a diet of whole foods and heavily plant based. Just really in my case nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits. I'm trying to eat more vegetables than fruits at the moment but I love fruit too much to cut it down......think I'm gonna go and grab an apple now :P Yea the thing with raw is just you eat it raw. no cooking on the hob or grilling, just good natural raw and honestly I think it tastes better :)

    I'm vegetarian since only last month. I was never big on red meat, but chicken was a must at home. Last month I had a bad case of colitis/gastritis that made me visit the doctor ( homeopathic) and the treatment consists of teas, homeopathic medicine & a vegan lifestyle. Vegan is way to much work right now. I still can't have any kind of dairy products, meat or anything from animal, but there so much of that in everyday food I can't control it yet. So, I figured if I can later transition from vegetarian to vegan it might be better. I have to say it's not as hard as I thought it would be. So far so good. While all of these and I still have to loose some 45 lbs.

    It would be nice to have some vegetarian or vegan friends around here. I'm stuck most of the time on what to eat but salads, rice with vegetables or some kind of soup...

    I'm 95% vegan (almost there!) and have been veg for *officially* 4 years this month. :-D I say 95% because there are still a couple things in my house that I've snacked on that aren't vegan (100 cal butter popcorn today), but I'm not buying anymore stuff that isn't. I try to eat mostly clean too because I strongly dislike most processed foods and it makes me feel like crap.

    Any other veggies, add me! :) Always want more like-eating friends!

    Hi I was a veggie for a year a while back but I slipped up and 3 months ago decided enough was enough! I have been completely meat for 3 months now and really happy. The plan is to stay meat free for good now and to transition to dairy free too.

    I am looking for some buddies to share some food ideas as I need to figue out this whole dairy free thing. Seems there is dairy in almost eveything!!!! Urgh!

    I am also wheat free (out of necessity) so that makes things a litte more complicated for me to get the right nutirents etc.

    I am looking to loose just over 3 more kgs then I need to figure out how to maintain with healthy meat free wheat free and dairy free diet! Partially using slim fast to help as a quick diet aid.

    Anyone feel free to add me. :-)

    Hi There!

    I'm on my path back to health and have been vegan for about 12 years.... have played in the raw world and would consider myself a high raw vegan... I try not to get too caught up in worrying about percentages, though, focusing more on choosing healthy fuel for my body.

    Would love to be friends with anyone who is on the same path... focused... active and supportive.

    Feel free to add me with a short note! Here's to us!

    ...scatter joy...

    Hi,

    I need help! okay okay it might be a little drastic to say that I need help but I mean I'm new here on fitness pal and I have no raw vegan friends. All my friends are meat eaters so kind of hard to talk to them whenever I crave sweets or anything like it.
    Plus, I must admit I fell of the wagon a few months ago and I want to go back to my ''old self''. So yeah that is pretty much it.

    Personnally, I am super supportive and I want to also provide some sort of motivation for all of my friends. I also would like to be able to share my progress and I would LOVE to see my friends progress.

    I am available and I really want this time to be the good one! I know it all depends on me but supports never hurt (goes both ways)

    Lots of love

    I'm a work in progress Vegetarian (with the goal of being completely plant strong one day).

    I do not discuss it much online but always glad to have like minded buddies.

    I've been veggie for more than 3 years and really committed to being vegan recently. Also trying to add lots of raw food but focussed on low fat and high carb. You might want to check out www.lowfatveganchef.com she's got some great recipes. And I've been watching youtube videos by Freelee the banana girl and Durian rider.
