Hi,let me introduce myself. I am 60, married, empty nester who has 1 dog and 2 rescued kittens (Cats) who are our critter babies. I am 5'1" and presently 146. I went from 122 to 174 from medication, stress eating and eating poorly. I joined OA and lost my weight but slowly it comes back and is so hard to loose. Looking for friends who will share healthy recipes, encourage and be encouraged back, middle age should not be heavey.

My husband and I love to cook, watched Forks Over Knives in January while eating a steak with my husband and decided then and there to go vegan. Have dieted off and on all my life and was my heaviest at Thanksgiving (3 lbs shy of what I was during my heaviest pregnancy years ago). I have lost 17.5 lbs as of today and will lose 14.5 more between now and Sept 2012. I am 5'1" and 64 years old. Losing this weight has never been easier than what I am currently doing (vegan, top quality vitamins/supplements, and exercise). Now adding MyNetDiary to help me stay on track. Let's communicate here and/or in Veggie's R Us group.

Forgot to add that my husband has dropped his cholesterol level by 50 points since January. Mine is now in normal range and no longer prediabetic.
