I am looking for Vegan/Vegetarians to add on to my friends list for food support :)

I am wondering how many there will be!

    I'm not vegan now but have been in the past. About 70% of my diet is raw vegan, mostly smoothies and raw bars.

    I'm a brand-spanking new vegetarian. Going on a week with no meat. Working on cutting back on dairy and cheese as well (trying to limit those calories to around 5-7% of my intake. I would LOVE some support on this!

    Hey, I'm a raw vegan since Jan 1st. I used to be raw vegan in 2010. I attended the Hippocrates Health Institute for 3 weeks and learned so much about nutrition. I'll be happy to be your pal.

    I am not a vegan or vegetarian, but *MOST* of my diet is.
    I recommend checking out ohsheglows.com for some good foods:)

    Another suggestion is to go to www.meetup.com and find a local meetup vegan/vegetarian group to join. I just joined a raw food meetup and met a bunch of really nice people. We get together every month.

    Amanda, Hi. I'll be happy to support you. If you would like to cut something out of your diet, don't buy it or have it in the house. If you took a peek into my refrigerator right now, there are only bags of veggies and washed greens, garlic, ginger etc. I have a juicer and I make a batch of green drink everyday. I put a lot of garlic in it. Today, I am eating to live instead of living to eat.
    Endorse yourself for making a courageous and wise decision in support of your health and well-being.

    I've been vegetarian since 2001...almost 12 years now. Gradually going vegan; almost there! My hope is to ultimately go raw vegan! I would love some more vegetarian/vegan friends!

    I've been a lacto-ovo vegetarian for 26 years. I think vegetarians have an easier time staying under the fat and calorie limits!

    Whole food plant-based no oil type vegan here. Since starting this way of eating, I have lost over 100 pounds and I love my food now more than I ever did eating the Standard American Diet.

    If you are looking for supportive friends on MFP, add me.

    Been vegetarian for over 5 months now and love it. Not very long, but everyone has to start somewhere, right? Right now I'm transitioning into veganism and not regretting it!

    I recently made the transition to Vegan. I thought I would feel deprived but I feel great. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. I live in a smaller city right now (moving as soon as possible from the beach to the big city yeah) so finding other vegans to share recipes and support with is very difficult. So anyone interested in exchanging thoughts and recipes please let me know.

    Hey everyone,

    I'm participating in a 28 Day Vegan challenge with a few friends @ my local Whole Foods! Can anyone recommend some vegan websites, with recipes? I'm a huge fan of OhSheGlows.com, I've been following her site for years and discovered the Green Monster thanks to her! :) I also love http://www.kalynskitchen.com since she has a section for vegan/vegetarian dishes. I made this recipe for dinner last night and it was amazing:

    Anyway, any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks guys!

    Veggie since 2011 - I was vegan for about nine months, but just recently started re-introducing a small amount of dairy into my diet.

    I am vegetarian and have been since June 2012! Still learning as I go but I'm getting better day by day... at some point I would like to transition into a vegan diet.

    I am always looking for new friends for support!

    My husband and I were vegan since March of 2010. I recently became vegetarian because I was pregnant and had a difficult time maintaining my pregnancy while vegan (I know it can be done, and more power to the moms that could, I just couldn't), so now I consider myself vegetarian and plan on raising my boys that way. Although, because my husband is still vegan, I cook primarily vegan food in the home and just order vegetarian when we are out.

    If anyone would like to add me so that we can exchange daily food diary inspiration- please do! :flowerforyou:

    Hi there, I have really cut down on meat and animal products in general, and am always on the lookout for good vegan recipes. I recently discovered soba noodles, which are easy to make and to enjoy with plant based proteins.
