    I had gained 50 lbs after a botched eye surgery which grounded me for a year. I was having a hard time trying to lose the extra pounds. Somebody suggested watching Forks over Knives. By eating WFPB I lost 50 lbs in 6 months.
    My daily diet always includes foods containing the essential aminoacids (e.g. quinoa, brown rice + lentils, hemp seeds or powder), and I take B12 and D3. I've never felt stronger in my life. My vital signs are back to normal including sugar levels and cholesterols.

    I only ever eat meat outside of the house so I figured I might as well go full vegetarian and hopefully transition to vegan! Also working towards a zero waste lifestyle, loved to see if others are doing the same add me!(:

    Vegetarian for 12 years :smile: But I eat vegan quite often as my sister is vegan and we eat a lot of meals together. Anyone can feel free to add me for more veggie support :D About 50lbs to go for me.

    Hey I'm a vegan and have been for about a year and a half now. Looking to make some like-minded friends if there's anyone interested? I'm from New Zealand and am 27 years young. I want to be held accountable because I think it's very easy to get too comfortable and lazy or take short-cuts. Currently I sit at about 112kg and looking to get well and truly into the double-digits. Its my goal to become more plant based rather than indulging in vegan meat alternatives and vegan junk food. Is there anyone around in a similar situation???? I'd love some support on my weight loss journey?

    Hi there. I have been vegan for almost 2 years now. I am eating a whole foods plant based diet. I am struggling to lose I have been exercising like crazy, I lowered my calories even though everyone always says don't count calories. Nothing has been working so far but I keep plugging along hoping for the right things to click. I eat no oils, I gave up table salt for minimal half salt. No matter what I will never give up and I will always be vegan.

    Hi there! I've been pescatarian for 12yrs, eat mostly vegan, and plan to transition to a 100% vegan wfpb by the end of the year.

    I'd love to have more vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian friends in my newsfeed, so anyone is welcome to add me. I may have also added a few of you :)

    Vegan for 7 months and loving it! When I made the transition I noticed a small weight loss of about 3lbs and I have maintained that on dietary lifestyle alone. I do my long runs on the weekends and lift about 2-3x a week. Occasional yoga. The neatest part about going vegan has been the change to my energy and body. I'm approaching 40 and realized that measuring pounds doesn't cut it- I now have way more muscle and have reduced body fat. My body feels tighter and stronger than ever in my whole life. Even when I fall off the exercise wagon I don't really seem to gain weight. Vegan is the future for me and I hope others try it out for the sake of their health, the environment, and the animals! I am rarely on this app but if anyone has any questions or needs advice on the transition feel free to contact me or consult the website challenge22.com
    Cheers to a healthier, more ethical, and happier you!
