Hi Everyone! I'm Michele 😊 I'm a 47-year-old beginner at barbell strength training, and expert at struggling with my weight 🤣🤣 Currently I'm experiencing that fun time in life when hormones are making a mess of things (damn you, peri/menopause!!!), and I'm trying to get more tips and tricks on how to make this time in my life a little easier on me. I'm vegan - been vegan since 2013 - and I really want to start looking the part!! My big goal is to get lean and toned by the time I hit 50, and I want to keep that going indefinitely! Can I use you guys as my accountability team? I would really love to post form videos, and let you all know how the journey is going for me - maybe there's another vegan or 2 in the group?? Here's hoping!! I can't wait to meet you all! 🥰💪💥

What is the "best" way to snack? Currently I've prepped extra servings of protein to grab-n-go when I feel like I want to have something, but is maybe something higher in fiber the way to go?...trying to steer away from the dreaded handful of almonds...that leads to another handful of almonds 🤣🤣🤣
