vegan dieter

Hi my name is Mel & I have recently discovered this site which is brill! I have been a vegan for 7+ years & prior to that a veggie for many years. My friend Chrissie inspired me as she has been a veggie for over twenty years. I live a fairly sedentry lifestyle as I have had multiple spinal surgeries & recently had a spinal nerve stimulator implant fitted to reduce my leg pain. It is crucial for me to keep my weight down to remain as healthy as I can. I retired early from work this year & have gained a few pounds lunching with friends so I would like to lose 1/2 a stone. I am currently 62 kgs & 5' 6'' tall!! At 59 years old soon it seems harder to maintain weight as a mature person. I love to swim & do pilates regularly but due to recent surgery I am having a couple of months off from the gym & miss it like crazy. Anyway nice to be part of this group.
