    I've been vegan about 4 years (no meat or dairy consumed except by accident in japan since it's hard to specify your dietary needs when you don't speak the language lol). I had some serious restricting problems before going vegan and was unhealthily skinny (think 75-80 pounds). Once i went vegan i started putting on some more weight because I found myself able to eat without guilt..... And now i have found i've eaten a bit too much haha.

    Just want to get to a healthy skinny. I'm the shortest and plumpest in a family full of sisters so that also helps :smiley:

    Hey! I've been vegetarian for 2 years now and will be going vegan very soon for health and lifestyle reasons :) I'm aiming to lose a stone (6.3kg) and would love to have some moral support along the way! Good luck with all your journeys too!

    Hello veggies!
    I'm looking for accountability friends.
    My problem is consistency. I moved recently, I want to lift 5 days a week , and I figure that I could have a few ppl that I check in with to help me build the habit.
    I've been vegan for a few years if anyone cares
    I've lost over 100 lbs and mostly maintained, but I'm ready for the next level

    Cw172
    Gw 140s until further notice
