Is anyone else on a vegan weight loss journey?

Options
Hi everyone! I recently just became vegan and I'm also on a weight loss journey. I want to lose at least 60 pounds! I would love some vegan friends on here or just anyone who is nice and wants to help support each other

    Hello, I'm just starting this program so I'm not real knowledgable about how it all works yet but I'm trying. My husband and I started near vegan eating a couple years ago. We're not absolutely strict, i.e. occasionally have a small amount of salmon or chicken [but rarely]. I think it's much easier to actually lose wt. w/ the vegan diet and you can get plenty of protein in via legumes, nuts, seeds, etc; I'm sure you are aware of all that. We've found the near vegan routine to be very satisfying/tasty.
    I'm having some difficulty listing my daily foods [breakfast, lunch, dinner] in the portions I eat. E.G. I'll enter Kirkland non-fat Greek yogurt 1/2 cup. The only thing the selection comes up w/ is 1 cup. I'm not sure who to ask about this.
