Hello everyone!

31 year old here looking for friends for support and encouragement. Hoping to lose 70 lbs and entering a new chapter of my life (impending divorce, newly solo parent, re-adopting a vegan diet -- non-vegans you're still cool in my book, no worries -- new job and new city.)

Friends welcome!

    Lots of changes going on! It's a great time to adopt new, healthy habits! Just to say, I moved for my job a year ago to Latin America and after a few months if mindless eating and no exercise I managed to get back into eating more mindfully and exercising most days; I lost a few extra kilos for my wedding (super easy) and am now trying to stick with good habits and not regain it (not so easy). If you need the occasional cheer up, feel free to add me. I'm also a longtime vegan. ☺

    Thank you! Will add you shortly!

    I figure, while everything else is new might as well adopt a healthier lifestyle too. :)

    Hi! Welcome and feel free to add me. I’ve been vegetarian for 7 years (did vegan for a while), have a 1 year old and love the sense of community via my fitness pal. Best wishes!

    Became vegetarian because of health issues as a child and looking to improve my health. Would love to be added by anyone wanting to motivate each other. I would also be thrilled to hear about tips for a vegan lifestyle. I haven't decided on going 100% vegan yet but most of the time I don't eat animal products anyway.

    My reasons were largely ethical but the health benefits are also so key to what keeps me going. I just feel so much better on a vegan diet. I'll be happy to add you! Feel free to message me with any questions you might have. :)
