Hi! I'm looking for vegetarian/vegan friends to help along this journey. I've been a vegetarian for over 16 years and I love it but it can difficult to lose weight, especially when eating out. A girl can only have so many salads before going crazy. I've done it before but not by the healthiest of standards so I'm looking for help and people in the same boat. (Fyi, my vegetarianism doesn't include chicken, turkey, fish etc. To me, it doesn't but I know some people that do so clarifying now) Feel free to add me if you're in a similar position.

    Feel free to add me. I don't eat any type of meat, eggs, or cow's milk. I am pregnant so I am a little more lenient with my calories and foods but do try to eat nutritious meals most of the time.

    Me too!

    I have been a vegetarian for around 3 years and have chosen this path because of ethical considerations. I eat no animal flesh (including seafood! contrary to what my mom thinks, fish ARE animals! lol).

    Losing weight as a vegetarian is difficult because we often are already eating "good stuff" but I've found that portion control is the biggest problem.

    Anyway I have quite a bit to lose but have broken it into smaller chunks so it doesn't feel quite so daunting! Working on my first (of many) 20lb segments.

    Having vegetarian friends on MFP will be excellent! People who know what it's like to live this lifestyle and people who might even have meal ideas are a welcome change!

    Newly vegetarian. 26 years old and I'm looking for more vegetarian friends to help with ideas of what to eat. I grew up in a meat and potatoes family so the idea of a meal without meat is very foreign. I feel like it's so easy to be a carbaholic and just eat pasta and rice for every meal.
