Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

After a few years on & off trainging I hit a personal low this year.
Unable to train through work ,school, activism & family problems I then lost track of my diet and I probaly well overconsumed.
When I finally realised I had to buy new suits for a family event I knew I had gone too far.
Though my bodyfat percentage was 22.5% I had skyrocketed to 82 kilos.

In the last month I have replaced those cans of cokes during the day with fruit juice& smoothies.
I now hold myself accountable to 4 days of weight training as well as making sure I do something active on the last three days.

All processed foods are out and I am now eating as natural as possible. Between work & school travel I still eat food while I am out due to convience I now make sure I am taking the healthiest track possible.

I am posting here so I can have some motivation from others who have "made it" .
In terms of goals for the time being, I want to cut down to 68 kilos. Maybe one day bulk up again to something bigger.

Being new to veganism , how nessecary is it to make sure I am getting B12 supplements?

good luck, i had blood tests recently, my b12 was right in the middle of the healthy/ref range partially from a daily multi, but mainly from fortified foods (soy milk)

but yeah, my b12 was 415 nmol/l and the ref range is 135-650 nmol/l, most soy milks are fortified, my main source is 1 cup soymilk in oats for breakfast and a multi, though i'm not sure that does much

anyway, good luck, it's a good idea to start counting your calories, making sure you are at a defecit, and start exercising

I might get onto nutritional yeast while I can then.
I'm 3 weeks back into gym and I recon I have already made great progress , looking forward to next weeks pics.

I will soon for now, I am just focusing on my protein intake and cutting out high dense carb meals I have.
