Hi there, wanted to say Hi there and I'm really excited to join such a great community and tool. I don't know anyone using this site, so would love some fellow veggie (and non veggie!) friends. I've been veggie on since 15 years ago, taking breaks for study abroad and life changes. I'm vegan when I can, but I have a love affair with cheese that it hard to resist. I also married a man from WI so that doesn’t help.

I've always been pretty good about balancing my eating and exercise, but with MFP I'm going to be a lot more honest with myself and my 'balanced' eating habits. While I do a have a crazy life happening around me (new city, toddler, new job) I'm also ready to get started on the new me.

Good luck to all, I love reading the stories and seeing your success and hope to have success too.

Thanks!

    I was veggie for a little over a year, then for one reason or another I couldn't keep doing it :P but I definitely felt great while I was doing it and wish I could have kept it up! Good luck to you! With the help of this site and the support from all the wonderful people here, I know you will reach your goals!

    Hi there. I would say I am mostly vegetarian, I eat fish occasionally and every now and then I break down and eat a little chidken. I have been on here for just over a month now and find it an amazing tool. You can add me if you want. Good luck to you and welcome.

    Hi!

    I'm a pescatarian (eat fish a lot but not meat) or a "half-arsed vegetarian" as my son's ex once said. Would love to add you as a friend. Not sure if I could go completely vegan tho

    Hello! I've been flirting with the idea of becoming a vegetarian for about a year. The idea actually helped me to jump start my life change by going Meatless on Mondays.

    This site is really awesome and the people are even more so!

    Feel free to add me! :)

    Hi. I'm new to this site too, although far from new to dieting haha :) I'm a veggie aswell, which I think is definitely an advantage with calorie counting diets because meat replacements like quorn almost always have less calories than whatever they're pretending to be :) I don't think I could be vegan though, too much of a love affair going on with cheese :D

    hi everyone!

    im also a vegetarian (for about 5 years).
    i was vegan for 1 and a 1/2 yrs, but couldnt keep up, its too hard to eat in reastaurants, specially here in brazil where the vegetarian culture is really weak and we dont have a lot of vegan products avalible on the market.

    the thing is, i lost a lot of wheight when i gave up beeing vegan, now im fighting my way back!

    anyway, im glad to see a lot of veggies out here, we can help each other with recepies and stuff

    anyone can feel free to add! :)


    (and sorry bout my bad english, not my main language hehe)

    I am also veggie, but I do consume dairy, eggs and fish. I have been doing so for that last 3.5 mths or so. I am not against meat or anything...I would most likely still eat it if I hadn't watched "Food Inc." - after seeing it I couldn't stomach the thought of consuming all stuff that is pumped into the animals. If anyone is thinking about going veggie, watch "Food Inc." and see what you think.

    Good luck on your journey and feel free to add me :)

    I'm a veg too! Unfortunately for me, chocolate and cheese are vegetarian!!! I toy with the idea of going vegan, but as of yet, I haven''t even made it through a 30 day pledge. Glad to know there's so many other veggies here, we are way under-represented on other sites. Anyone can feel free to add me if they are interested..

    I'm always trying to be more veggie but living with my boyfriend who is a true carnivore is tough! Feel free to add me. I would love some recipes or dinner ideas :)
