Hi there, looking for friends for motivation!

I have been on MFP before but sucked at sticking with it because I got really sick last year and found out I have a ton of food allergies! I have been avoiding them and feel much better. Anyway, I am Anne. I am 26, married, live in colorado, vegan, gluten free. I am looking for other vegan/gluten free friends on here to share ideas with and keep each other motivated. I have about 50-60 pounds to lose. I have been gaining and losing the same 40-50 lbs since I was 16 through unhealthy means, and I want to lose it and keep it off for good the healthy way this time. Being sick last year taught me a lot and I never want to feel that way again, even if it means I would weigh less. Anyway, feel free to add me if you are vegan or gluten free, around my age, or live in colorado!

    Hi Anne and welcome back. I've also been on MFP for a while now but been serious the last couple of weeks. In the last year I have lost about 30 pounds with exercise and healthy eating but gained some back just being lazy. That's the reason why I decided to come back to MFP and I'm hoping to stick with it for as long as I can. I've logged in and entered my food for almost 3 weeks in a row!. I just started going through the message boards to help build my support group. I'm 37 and live in California. I've been a vegetarian for about 7 years but I am leaning to go vegan pretty soon. I was able to give up meat and all dairy with the exception of cheese. That's my next goal. I don't have any food allergies but I try to do mostly whole foods. I'm interested in sharing ideas as well especially since I'm trying to go full vegan. Feel free to add me and good luck!
