    Ovo-lacto vegetarian for 41 years, now CW 121 down from SW 183 in April 2015 (5'5", but way older than you - 60 y/o). Also a breast cancer survivor, and lost my mom to it, too - I read your profile . . . so sorry to hear.

    Just eat at a calorie deficit like MFP tells you, stick with it patiently & persistently (no need to go for a loss rate so fast it's hard to stick with). As a veg, it's a little harder, but try hard to get enough protein daily. You can do it!

    ^Good advice.

    Another vegetarian here. I do eat dairy. I'd love to trade tips, recipes, support with others.

    Octo-lacto vegetarian here, since 1986. I was vegan for 10 of those years. Currently lost 35lb, with quite a bit to go yet - unsure of final goal. Feel free to add me.
