I have been on the veg train (ovo-lacto-vegaterian) for over a year and my weight is stable but I want to lose a few pounds 5-10. Need like minded friends who can share tips ☺️

    I've been vegetarian(lacto-ovo), though I have been known to take long breaks from eggs, and once gave up dairy, but I love cheese too much...anyway...for over 20 years. I made that choice as a child and never looked back. Meat isn't for me.

    I've been ovo-lacto for about 8 months! My family doesn't understand and likes to make fun of me for it, so I'd love to have some veg friends, too!

    How do you guys do it? I *have* to eat meat (expected by family, or major ridicule I can't handle), until I hope to move out. Makes me gag. And for some reason I am becoming militant about it. But I have to keep it from everyone. I wasn't always this way. I was the 'live and let live' type, until recently.

    Sorry to hijack the thread.

    At first my family was pushy about why cant u just eat what the rest of us eat... But it takes time to make the adjustment for not just yourself but Ur family. I still do get the "just eat this it won't kill u" but they are much more understanding now. I have no problem with anyone else eating meat but I made my own choice. My family now even will make a mini veg version of their cooking for me aka my mother made lasagna as a welcome home meal n made a large meat version and a small dish that just sub the brocclli for the meat.

    HAHA good to know I wasn't the only one who wasn't eating like a rabbit. I used to joke that I am a "junk-atarian" now I am big again and hate that.
    I wish you luck losing that last stubborn bit of weight! I know it's really tough
