    I've eaten mostly vegan for a little over a year now. I love it but I've found myself slipping and eating a lot of junk/processed foods. I've always had success with this app so I'm back on trying to loose 15 lbs or so

    Your best bet to find friendly, helpful veg or vegan people is probably going to be the groups.

    You might try these two to start with, but using the search function will turn up many.. .you just have to be sure they are active.

    I'm not vegan at the moment, but I try to consume vegan things and food :)
    Good luck with your goal! If I need any advice I'll let you know :smiley:

    Vegetarian most of my life. Went through a meat eating phase and am now VEGAN over a year. However I consumed to much processed junk vegan food I gained a lot of weight. Would like to be friends with anyone else vegan and looking to lose. Also getting into fitness, and could use Fitbit friends who use both apps also would be great. Definitely in need of an accountability partner or two.

    Though a great majority of my diet and life can be described as vegan, I am a vegetarian. :^) Somebody has to eat that cheap cheese.

    I'm starting to eat more vegan, which is a huge lifestyle change for me. I read the Esselstyn book (still reading) in vegan/no fat diets for heart health. It's given me a lot of good ideas. Protein had been hard! I have a smoothie a day to get in more fruit and put protein powder in that to help. The rest is beans, protein from carb sources (brown rice, soba noodles, whole wheat pasta, etc). Last night I had chick peas for a snack. I'm trying very hard to stay away from processed stuff and reserve that for when I'm in social situations. I'm not vegan for ethical reasons, so I will have low fat fish and vegetables if I'm out too. Just trying to do the best I can every day.

    Hi everyone! I've been interested in eating less meat for a while, for ethical reasons, and recently started making small changes towards it - currently doing 80/20 for vegetarian/meat right now. Feel free to add me, would love to meet people eating veg and healthy!
