Looking for Whole Food, Plant-Based Friends on MFP

So I have been on this whole food plant-based path--off and on--for a while. But in April of this year, I made the decision to take care of my health (and the planet) by stopping consumption of ALL animal products. I feel good and I am losing weight consistently (about 1 to 1.5 lbs each week).
However, I would love to connect with some other people who follow a whole food, plant-based diet. Is that you?

Congratulations. I have been vegan for 30-some years and I'm a big fan of Mediterranean foods and recipes: lots of chickpeas, lentils, nuts, squashes, rice, various beans, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, fresh or dried fruits, etc. Love my whole-foods lifestyle. Feel free to add me.5

I've been transitioning to a vegan diet. You can add me! Not trying to lose weight, just trying to be more healthy/have more energy to keep up with my little rugrats.2

Potatoes aren't high in protein and in fact don't have an adequate amount of the 9 amino acids so are actually incomplete proteins1 -

I've been vegan for 2 years and would love to connect with others. Somehow even cutting out 90% of the processed crap I used to eat and switching to predominantly Whole Foods, I am still morbidly obese. It's very frustrating. Feel free to add me.3

Hi! I've been a vegetarian for over 7 years just recently decided I wanted to lean more towards vegan (at least most days). But being a poor college student thats basically just rice and beans so far.3

Hello, I'm new to the vegan/ whole foods lifestyle & would love to be added as a friend. I am losing weight since I've started 2 weeks ago. I'm currently going through some health issues which probably came from my poor diet over the years. Could really use support.3

After watching a program on Netflix called "What is Health". I have not been able to eat meat, chicken, or fish, as I get sick thinking about what they were doing to the animals. Therefore, I'm trying to eat vegetarian, but worry about get full and eating right. I am also trying to lose weight. Could use some support and help.1

Anyone who wants may add me. I'm not whole foods based, but I am surely plant-based! I have followed an almost entirely vegan diet for a long time now, and the only animal product I eat is honey.3
-

This is pretty much exactly me! I had experimented with eating vegan/WFPB in the past (anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months), and I always felt great. At the beginning of April, I decided that I'm going to do this permanently, and I've been eating almost 100% WFPB ever since. (I haven't fully phased out cooking oils.)
I'm doing this mainly for health reasons (diabetes and cancer run in my family), but there are so many other benefits, too. It's less expensive, it's yummier, it's kinder to animals, and it's better for the environment.1 -

I ate primarily rice and beans/lentils for the first month. Add some veggies and fruits, and it's an extremely healthy and satifying diet.
Have you found that eating vegan is less expensive than eating omni food? I feel like I spend less on groceries (as long as I'm not buying the processed vegan stuff -- like cheese substitutes, fake meats, vegan cookies, etc.).1 -
I would be interested in sharing vegan and "real" food recipes. I have been dairy-free for quite a while now.1
