Hi everyone! I'm a 30 year old mother to an energetic 2 year old (3 in Sept) boy. I'm a fairly recent vegetarian, going on 5 months now. Striving for a totally plant based diet. I'm around 90% plant based, or vegan if you will, at the moment. I'm looking to lose around 55 pounds for.... Ohhhhhhh..... The billionth time. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment. I recently quit my job to go back to college full time for nutrition. My family decided to go plant based after my 29 year old husband almost died in January of a ruptured brain aneurysm. He spent 3 weeks in the ICU. After he started recuperating we started researching healthier lifestyles and watched a documentary called Forks Over Knives, after that we read a book called Skinny *****. We decided that plant based diet was our healthiest, most earth friendly option. Which is when I decided to go back to school for nutrition. I'm just looking for friends on here for support!

    Hello, I too went plant based after watching "Forks over Knives", what a great motivator. I have been following a "plant-strong" diet since May. I have 2 kids and an unwilling husband. I make most meals veggie based, and get the kids involved too . It's great to see so many veggie based people are on here.

    Hi, I'm sorry for what you and your husband had to go though with his health. I have been a pescatarian (fish eater) for about 15 years now. I'm a mother to a 15 month old baby girl. I'm trying to lose about 7 more pounds to reach my pre baby weight and have already lost about 15 lbs. Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me.
