I'm newly vegan (just about a month) and interested in more education and support going forward. I'm a runner and would love to hear more about other vegan runners and how to properly nourish yourself as an endurance athlete on a vegan diet. I'm also a mom of two little kids, which, as many of you know, comes with a whole host of challenges (and rewards!).

Happy new year!
 
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for the warm welcome!! Nice to see some fellow Baltimoreans, former and current!

I will definitely check out the fitness forum!

I have two little kids, aged 4.5 and 3. They are not totally vegan, but they are limited in what animal products they eat and certainly eat a lot less than their peers. Because they have had some picky phases, I've served them fish and cheese because I can rely on them to eat it. I will be checking out the forum to see if anyone has any wisdom to share with little kids on a plant-based diet. They have really been developing a taste for beans, nuts, and tofu lately, though, so we are working on it.

My husband eats omnivorously out of the home, but eats primarily vegan in the house. He has resolved to eat fewer animal products for the new year, though, even on his own, so that was happy news. I did a complete overnight transformation from omni to vegetarian a few months ago and then vegan a month ago, so all things considered, my family has handled it quite well.
