    Hi! I’m Kaylee! 20 years old. 21 on March 21st. My husband and I have been vegan for over a year, now. (Ever since we got married) :) I love animals, holistic health, art, music & yoga! We have a little Pomeranian named Peanut whom I adore and spend my days with! ❤️

    I used to be very fit & was a gymnast! But I had a few health problems that have caused a bit of weight gain. As someone who used go be in great shape, it hurts to look in the mirror and see fat where abs used to be. But I am determined to once again become in control of my body! We’ve got this! ;)

    Nice to meet you all!

    Hello,
    I love reading all these introductions. I am 32 years old, married with 2 daughters (4 and 2 yrs old). It seems I'm the newest to this way of eating. We just started a couple weeks ago. I watched the documentary "What the Health" and followed up with "Forks over Knives". It really surprised me to learn all these things I was taught are not true (you need meat for protein and milk for calcium). And actually hurting my health. So I immediately made the change and I do not want to go back 1 bit. I feel so much better already physically and mentally. I feel better about the food I'm giving my family. My mother died of breast cancer when she was 36 and I just don't want to leave my girls behind like that. I want to be there to see them go off to college and get married.

    Hi everyone! Steve here! I’m 63 and have been vegan for about 10 years and vegetarian since the 70s ! That was when we thought we had to eat rice and beans together to get a complete protein. Does anyone else remember those days?

    Hi, I am a nurse, mother of two daughters ages 6 and 9, married to my hubby and live in Illinois. I have been convinced from Netflix that a plant based diet is the healthiest but want to try it out for myself. I am going to try it for the next 30 days and see how I feel. Yesterday was day one and so far so good!!! I also workout for 1 to 1.5 hours a day!

    Welcome Steve & Jkowals! Thanks for joining us! I do remember the rice & bean days! I love how things have change and how easily it is to dine out now. 30 days is all you need to see a difference actually you will feel changes in less the 5 days. Happy to help with any questions and suggestions. Happy Weekend!
