I'm a MFP veteran but newbie vegan. I've been doing a ton of research but would love some fellow vegan friends for some tips on the lifestyle. Feel free to F/R me!

I think if I'm successful with the one I've joined (which it looks like I will be) I will join one of the Transformer ones. I need something to motivate me long-term and that seems like the best way for me.

Thanks for responses! So I joined the 4 week one, the "Get Lean in 2015 with Heidi & Chris Powell." I think if I do well on this I'll try the 6-month one, I think I'm just afraid of failure.. I've been doing really well so far though and it's definitely helped me get the boost I needed to start up again with the gym,…

Hey, my name is Ivy and I'm hoping to lose about 50lbs this year. I'd love to have some supportive friends to support me and I can support them! Feel free to add me :)

There are lots of ways to get motivated, and you posted on these boards so that's a good start! There are so many inspirational, positive and motivational people on these forums who have lost a ton of weight.

It's an extremely unhealthy way to lose weight and Elizabeth I really hope you read more information on this site and choose a more healthy way to lose weight by changing your lifestyle and eating…

I HATE when people say "You'd be pretty if you lost weight", I'm like excuse me?? I know that I am beautiful no matter what weight I am. Luckily I have loving and supportive people in my life who do tell me I'm beautiful, so it's easier to ignore the dummies :P

Thanks for your great responses everyone! I love the community here at MFP, and how much people are willing to help out eachother and give advice. I really appreciate it! :)

Thanks so much for your response, I really appreciate it. :) And wow that's a lot of water! I tend to hardly drink any water, and I know it's bad so I definitely want to change that. So I weight around 180 so I should be drinking 90oz of water a day?

I'm not new to MyFitnessPal but I'm new to actually participating in the message boards! I'd love to have some friends to fill up my currently lonely news feed :P
