Thanks for inviting me to join! My name is Amanda, and I've been on MFP for about a year and a half, losing the same 15 or so lbs. Just this past week I started following a plant-based diet; I've been thinking about going veg for a long time, and it seems like now is as good a time as any.

I'm 37, single, and live on the SW side of Indy. I really despise most forms of exercise - the only thing I've found that I really enjoy, that doesn't make me want to stab my eyes out, is yoga. I have been away from a regular practice for about a year, though, and I'm hoping to get back to it soon. I do walk a bit - mostly at the pace my dog sets, though I enjoy doing 5K charity walks.

I also wear a Fitbit One every day; if anyone wants to be "Fitbit friends", please let me know! I work a pretty sedentary desk job, so I struggle to get more than 5,000 steps in each day without taking the dog for a walk... I try to schedule a couple of "meetings" during my day to get away from my desk and walk 1/2 a mile or so, which seems to help.

Looking forward to participating in the group!
