I've always been heavy, but I gained a lot of weight in the past few years. I have noticed I am starting to have some joint pain that I think is from the excess weight. I do not like this path so I want to lose weight and feel healthy!

I have been following a vegan diet for about a month and a half and it's been fantastic because now I feel energy!! Lots of energy! It is definitely a lifestyle for me.

Now I need to get in some exercise to really get my weight loss journey going. I have a long way to go, but I know I can get there. I am interested in making some friends on this site.

Let's do this!

    Welcome!
    I've changed my eating habits too and have also seen a change in my energy levels and how I feel in general.
    Keep up the hard work!
    Sticking to meal changes is the hardest for me.

    Hi! I have been trying to lose weight for many years! Everything that I do is not working because I can not stay motivated. In desperate need of support. I don't have anyone around to keep me motivated. I once lost 15 lbs. and decided to quit, then I gained it all back. I am looking forward to taking this journey wwith you all.:love:
