I have played around with a vegetarian/vegan/raw lifestyle before but never had a plan to follow, so this information is very helpful and supportive. Not only do I wish to adapt to a healthy lifestyle I also want to lose around 50lbs so I am hopeful of success this time by following a more structured way of eating. Thank you for all your wonderful site.

I am also looking forward to the September start...and I could lose a few pounds myself....in order top get myself motivated again (I fell off the vegan wagon and had cheese more than once .....) I have been following the April kickstart and feel great! I have always been a vegetarian but being more educated has steered me towards a vegan lifestyle. I am passionate about our environment and would like to help as much as I can. Good luck! Love, Live, Laugh

A dear friend has been vegan since January 2011 and is doing so well, she is a great example to me. It's time for a permanent lifestyle change. Now I am going to make up a grocery list, and clean out my cupboards and freezer of all tempting unhealthy foods.

I am 59, about 60 pounds overweight, diabetic and way, way too inactive as a result of this weight...so I am looking for the support to get back to a healthy lifestyle. I love yoga and hiking and herbs. I'm a spiritual seeker, and I love questing with others! Our life is love, and peace, and tenderness; and bearing one with another, and forgiving one another, and not laying accusations one against another; but praying one for another, and helping one another up with a tender hand..Isaac Penington (Quaker)

My quest is for healthy aging! I don't have a lot of weight to lose, but have a strong desire to just eat healthy. YOU WILL FEEL BETTER eating vegan. There have been people who have reversed their diabetes on this diet. Many health issues are improved when you improve your diet. I'm pulling for you. YOU CAN DO IT! Get healthy and stay healthy!

My husband is 72 and needs to lose 50 pounds. We know and love vegan food, but eat too much too seldom. Very excited and encouraged about this plan and hope to gain better health, more energy and grow old with less complaints

I use to do the Atkins Diet and I lost 20 lbs in 2 months and got my blood sugar under control and my A1c down to 5.9%. All without diabetes meds. I think the extra fruit put the extra lbs on from the carbs and fruit sugars.

rita4453 Joined: 09/10/11 Posts: 5	RE: VEGAN KICKSTART Posted Saturday, September 10, 2011 at 6:21 AM I started the September Kickstart on Monday 9-5-2011. I started going vegan in May. I have "fallen off the wagon" a few times but have been mostly vegan. The problem is I can't lose weight. In fact, I have gained about 12 pounds since May. I can't afford to gain weight. I am diabetic, have high blood pressure, etc. I was on a medication to help me lose weight but I made the doctor have me stop. PLEASE HELP!!!
