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!

    Heather :)

    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 :-)
