So, I'm transitioning from a vegetarian to vegan diet for mostly health reasons, though ethical reasons play a part too. If you're a vegan or transitoning to veganism, feel free to add me. Right now I am doing 5 days a week vegan, 2 days vegetarian for a month or two then committing to a fully vegan lifestyle after that.

    Vegan for over 30 years. :smiley: I'm working to lose a few extra pounds but mostly build strength & tone. Feel free to add.

    That's so awesome, SAB! I've been vegetarian since I was 10, so 22 years, but I feel like veganism is the next step for me. I love animals and grew up with the idea that animals are friends, not food. But I also have health issues, none of which are reversible but I find it easier to stay in my recommended sodium range when eating vegan vs eating vegetarian, even when eating vegan treats, dairy substitutes, etc.
