Hi!
I can't find how to update my avatar so for now I will have a boring grey one.
I am turning 25 this month and I have been on my weight loss journey for about 5 years now. Yes, I am going quite slow, but I have lost about 66lbs (30kgs) already. I am proud of that.
My chronic illness makes it quite difficult for me to exercise or sometimes even find the energy to put on my socks. Since I have accepted that this makes me go slower, I have been much happier on my journey.
Since the start of this year I have become a vegetarian and I am trying to transition to a vegan diet. No worries, I won't preach about it and I don't mind befriending meat eaters on here at all (please add me, I'm lonely!), but if someone who reads this is also interested in a vegan diet, I would love it if you would add me.

Wow, you are doing great to have lost so much so far. Good attitude of accepting how slow it can be. I'm new here & have found vegetarian & vegan meals very helpful to losing as well. I regularly use half the meat called for in recipes if not having meatless meals. I was just on allrecipes.com last night looking for vegan recipes. Lots of great choices.0
