I've been mostly a whole foods, plant based eater (vegan) for over three years and lost a lot of weight in the first two years but unfortunately, in the last year, I've let down my guard and let myself eat too much vegan junk food and have gained back 27 pounds. In addition, I've been traveling away from home quite a bit this fall/winter and am ready to get back on track. I would add you as a friend but need instructions how to do so. I've forgotten how!1

Hello! Plant-based, whole food, low-fat vegan over 50 here. I've been on and off for years. Decided to make it permanent in July after some bad numbers at a physical. My numbers are slowly coming down. I got caught in the vegan junk food trap, so it's been a slow go. Realizing the error of my ways, I'm hoping to make some great improvements this year! I'm here to learn, succeed and meet others who get it. Best wishes on your journey.0

Hello! I am 53 and this is my second time at being vegan. The first time I had challenges with my health because I wasn't eating properly - this time I am being much more careful. My husband is keto which makes things interesting! He is very supportive though and I try not to be too judgy. (it's hard though!)0

Hi! I'm Sam (not quite 50 but heading in that direction!!!) I'm 45 & in the UK and only started eating a vegan diet this year, but have been dairy free (ish) for 8 years.
Not very sporty at the moment due to perimenopause very sore joints and achilles tendonitis. However- I'm far from sedentary with dog walking and chores.
I've sent friend requests to other users in this thread who have been active this year. Hoping to find other vegans with open diaries for inspiration 🙂 At the moment I'm trying to find out how to fit more iron and protein into my diet and work out if I need extra supplements than B12.
Hope to see & support you on your journeys!0 -
Has anyone tried Black Strap molasses for anemia?0

Bumping this one up. I'm 54 and a vegan for the past decade. Having gone through menopause in 2020 during the height of the pandemic and falling back into too many processed foods during COVID lockdowns, I gained unwanted weight that I'm working on losing. I've been on MFP for years, but many of my vegan friends on here are no longer active. New vegan friends are always welcome to add me.2

Hi! I'm Jodi. I'm a 53 year old long time vegetarian & new vegan trying to lose aprox 20 pounds and improve my health. Im finding it very hard to stay on track ! I'm super busy with work and family which makes it too easy to rely on vegan junk food and to make excuses to skip out on exercise. So my immediate goals are getting into a meal prep and exercise routine. All are welcome to add me as a friend so that we can motivate each other.1

Hi Jodi,
some of us started a new group, since the leaders of this one are awol…you can search for Herbivores of MFP…2 -
