Any Over-50 Vegans here? :-)

Hi everyone!

I've been away from MFP for awhile and boy it feels GREAT to be back! Like everyone, I've had a lot of changes going on in my life (and body....LOL) over the past couple of years and now I want to start concentrating on getting myself in better shape/health and making myself a top priority.

I was wondering if there are any members in this group who, like me, are over 50? (Sure hope I don't scare away all my young friends here.....you are all very dear to me! :) ) It's just that finding vegan friends in general is tough (as most of you know).....finding vegan friends in my age group seems to be tougher.

Either way though, I'm very pleased to be a part of this Team Vegan group just as is. :)

Feel free to respond here or message me if you wish.

Wishing you all an amazing day!

    I'm over 50 and vegetarian for 20 years. Only added eggs to my diet a few years ago. (We have our own lazy hens, so I know they are treated well!)

    I'm an over 50 vegetarian trying to go vegan. Still eat eggs or cheese occasionally. Also trying to do better with balancing carbs and protein.

    I just turned 54, and have been eating plant-based for eight years primarily for health reasons. I'm still working on adopting a fully vegan lifestyle.
