I've been lurking for a bit - posting here and there. I guess I should introduce myself.

My name is Janet, and I'm a 46-year-old, 4'll", 180 lb woman. I've been vegan since the beginning of the year, but was vegetarian before that.

A friend of mine suggested the 12-day plan to cement my veganism and to learn to be a healthy vegan, not a junk-food one! So.... tomorrow is the day I begin the MWL!

I'm rather nervous, so if I seem needy or insecure, let me apologize in advance! I have really enjoyed reading about all the positive results thus far, and hopefully, I will have equal success!

I've been off and on myself. I'm 100 percent MWL today, and plan to have a 100 percent tomorrow as well, I'm taking this a day at a time.....

Here's to many days in a row for the both of us!

BTW- I'm 43

Good Luck!

Welcome Janet! Everyone here is wonderful!! I've learned the hard way that I need support on this journey and I find it right here on these boards. When I stop lurking/posting...is when I tend to fall off the wagon. So, lets all stick together and DO IT!!! (I should say..LIVE IT)

Thank you both for your support. I'm going to need it.

LJ, how long have you been on the program?

Welcome to the boards, Posting here does help tremendously for me. If I dont post if I get busy I have a tendency to go back to the refined vegetarian foods instead of sticking more to the mwl plan.

Dont apologize about being needy :) Im a new vegetarian for about 8 months so this is a new ball park to me still and I still ask many questions :)

Welcome!!

I am pretty similar to you. I am a little taller but I weigh a little more. I was veg for 9 years before starting McDougall on 1/1/08 and going vegan. :)
