Talk about wiggly underarms. I think mine could beat me to death if I get caught in the wind.

I was 50 but took me a long time to get though it. It took a couple of years.

I am following Dr. John Mcdougalls diet plan. I think it is much like Dr. Neal Barnards. I am loosing weight, my numbers are coming down, but was put on insulin. That was the reason I started the diet was because of adding insulin. I have a friend here that totaly followed it and is off all his medication now. Like I said…

I have only been vegan for a month. My husband eats meat, so I have to cook it for him. He was on me about vegan food was going to cost to much. Well my food is alot cheaper then his. Our food bill has gone down alot.
