Any fellow vegans or teens here?

Just want to know if I'm the only one! I suppose this is my semi-introductory post, I don't know anybody on here at all but I would like to... I just joined maybe 2 hours ago, I'm used to forums being really harsh so I don't go on a lot of them but I really want to lose some weight and get/give support.

Oh, and I'm speaking of actual lifestyle vegans, NOT people who do it as a fad diet thinking it'll help them lose weight. I would love to see vegetarians too....

A lot of people don't think there are fat vegans or vegetarians, but of course that's silly. Anybody can overeat, get lazy and gain weight! (I'm living proof... lol) I kind of feel more pressure to be thin though because of the stupid stereotypes.

So am I alone? o_o And, please - No mean people telling me how horrible veganism is... Thanks.

I am not a strict vegetarian because I prepare meat for my children whom are older and have decided on their own to eat meat. But, I am a vegetarian.

Hi Clovenhoof I am a vegetarian, It is not the same as a vegan, but it is close. : )
 I am a strict vegetarian, no meat no fish no eggs, but I do drink milk and eat chease, so I guess you could call me a lacto vegetarian I guess. Anyways, I just wanted to say Hi, I am also very new here.
I am the owner of a weight loss website, dedicated to helping people lose weight naturally, with our bodies and not against them, no tricks or fake stuff, only natural weight loss.
So if you are interested I could maybe give you some advice on losing weight.
Just let me know what you would like to know. : )

Hello, My names Crist, I decided to become a vegetarian two months ago. no milk, no meat but eat eggs.  

vegetarian, and I will be 19 for another 11 days or something vegan was too  hard, I love cheese toooo much.

Thanks guys for all the replies! It's nice to see some fellow veggies out there. Do any of you feel that certain aspects of a vegetarian diet can sometimes slow down weight loss? I end up eating a lot of carbs most days, is that as bad as everybody makes it sound?
