in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone!

I've been up and down with my weight for all my life. I have had previous success with logging my food and exercise into fitnesspal and lost 20 lbs. Gained it all back and I am getting back to healthy eating and getting fit by hiking and gym time!
I've been vegan for over three years and looking for some vegan friends who are on the same get fit and weight loss journey!
Thanks! :smile:

    Hey! Kinda in the same boat, this app has worked well for me in the past and I've just redownloaded it.
    I've been vegan for just over a year now but I've definitely been vegan for the animals not the health benefits: I'm a sucker for some good vegan junk food :lol:
    Ideally I want to lose around 5kg.
    I think the scariest thing so far was realising that I'm currently eating over double the recommended quantity of granola each morning! 45g seems like nothing :(

    I had always been a fit and slim vegan until about two years ago when I moved countries five times within 18 months; I was stressed, lost my equilibrium, ate mindlessly and stopped exercising. Now I lost almost all of it but am sticking around here on MFP, hoping it will help me to not regain it. I can recommend some great books or blogs for vegan recipes. New friends welcome! ☺

    I feel like that about peanut butter! Who on earth thinks a tablespoon is one serving?! Pffft! I would love some vegan friends here.

    Hello! I would like to add you - I lost weight but am sticking around here to not regain it. I'm vegan since I was a child (when I didn't worry about weight, just about animals). 🙂
