I've been vegan for over a year now and love it! I'm looking for vegan friends on MFP. Ones that are trying to lose weight. I want to lose 40lbs. I'm also sick of people saying, "You're vegan. I'm surprised, you're not skinny" - great thanks. I'm not vegan to be skinny, jerk. Anyway, vegan friends needed here!

    I'll be your friend! I'm not losing a LOT of weight, but I am trying to lose a little. I watch what I eat (aside from also being vegan).

    I'll be your friend too because I get the same feedback alot from people( you're vegan you should be skinny...) I have about 70 pounds to loose myself.

    I have come across a lot of people that think a vegan diet consists of a "birdfood diet". Like really???? There are so many other options out there besides meat and dairy products!! I wish people would open their minds a little bit more and realize just because someone doesn't eat animal products means all they eat are nuts and grains. Feel free to add me to I need more vegan friends ;)

    Hi

    I'm new to being vegan (like really new) but if you want to add me that's cool - I'll no doubt need advice. I've been on MFP for a while now... trying to lose weight haha. Also this is a total lifestyle change for me, which is a challenge in itself.

    Good to see you on here!

    The people I know call it rabbit food

    Haha same - everyone I know calls it rabbit food. Funny, I've never seen a rabbit chow down on tofu and babaghanoush :laugh:

    Anyone can add me as there friend!!! I agree it is vital to have friends on here that share the same eating habits as you. I have only been a vegan for 3 months now but I have to say it has been the best 3 months of my life when it has come to food. was always afraid of trying it cause of all the negativness around it but someone chalenged me and I have never felt better and went off the diet for a week but not way off and I was so sick and my tummy hurt and put on 5 pounds :(. the book "eat to live" has changed my life and the movie "food inc." MOre the friends the merrier.
  • Please feel free to friend me too. I've been vegetarian for almost a year, and I started eating vegan a week and a half ago. :)

    I'm in the process of transitioning to vegetarian to vegan so I'd love some friends, too. :)

    I'll be honest: I have great intentions, but sometimes life gets in the way and I only log onto MFP to log my stuff, disappearing from my friends' lives for a week or so. Still, I do my best to keep track of folks and offer support when I see a need. So, if you're okay with that, feel free to add me.

    Either way, good luck!

    I've only been vegan just over a month now, but I'm pretty much in the same place as you when it comes to losing weight :-)
