Hi all,

I'm new (done it before years ago but gave up), I get married in 9 months and need to lose weight. I'm setting my goal small to begin with so I don't give up again. Don't think I've ever lost weight before and kept it off.

I eat a mainly vegetarian diet but also eat fish occasionally. I love cooking plant based recipes too when I have time (big Deliciously Ella fan- but she doesn't count calories).

Are there any members out there who eat like me?

:)

    I'm a mostly vegetarian!!!! I've been this way since the beginning of October 2016, I know...late bloomer. I occasionally have slip ups and eat non-vegetarian things like marshmallows or sauces that contain anchovy. I've noticed that I easily eat vegan sometimes too but I really REALLY like cheese and cooking with butter vs oil.

    Vegetarian for 22 years! Feel free to add me. My diary is open, but I eat terribly, not great for motivation unless you want to be motivated to see how crackers you can eat in a day. ☺️

    Hello! My name is Cortez and I've been vegetarian for a year. The only issue I have is my carb intake. Also, I am a truck driver. I'm looking for friends that's also vegetarians or vegans that will help me so I can become healthier. Could you help me with some meal ideas?

    I've been mainly vegetarian for years, and I'm currently transitioning to full vegan. (I am still running down the fridge and freezer of animal product. Once they are gone, I'm replacing with only vegan wholefoods.)

    I'll send each of you a friend request if you don't mind.

    I'm getting meal ideas from "Forks over Knives" and modifying things to match with what foods and spices I have available.

    Also getting ideas for wholefood combinations from "Beyond Diet"

    I'd say mostly pescetarian, I eat meat once every 10 days or so...because it's in the freezer already and I want to run out of it. I don't think I'm going to buy it again, not really happy with farmed meat from a nutritional viewpoint.
    I'm toying with the idea of going fully vegan, will probably experiment it at some point this year. For the moment I'm just reading and studying a lot, my upcoming racing season is packed to the brim so my nutrition will have to be the best I have ever done.

    Happy to add anyone, who doesn't need one more friend?

    Bless up everyone. Ive been vegan for 15 years, veg for 5 years before that. The majority of my life. Feel free to ask any questions or whatever. I tend to eat a high raw vegan diet. Anywhere from 50/60% to 85% raw in the summer. I'm eating crazy high protein right now. Lifting hard, building more muscle before farming season. Then in another few months I wont have time to train, and Ill be back to eating less protein and more fresh veg/fruit. I'm happy to help others in their veg journey anyway I can. Ps. to explain my food diary. I eat a little different then most people. I do physical work for a living year round, and I don't like to eat a big meal while I'm working, so I make 4 big green smoothies, and then sip them all day while I'm working. Then I make a big meal at night. Lately Ive been hooked on making these chickpea flour flat bread type things and then sandwiches with lots of fresh veg with them. So good and high protein.

    Responding to OP.... I eat like you too! Have been a semi vegetarian for twenty years. Semi because 2-4 times a week, I do eat fish. And don't freak out by very occasionally I have a piece of bacon because I a week. But most meals are ovo lacto. I have to confess that for several years because of stress, anxiety, and just being busy, I've been more of a junk food atarian, so I'm trying to clean up my habits now. I'm also trying to limit soy right now because of some undiagnosed hormone issues. I'd be happy to friend anyone else with diets like ours who isn't judgmental!

    Good grief.

    How unsupportive is your post?!

    Course there is such a thing as "eating vegan most days". It means, on most days, her meals would be ethically acceptable to vegans. Perfectly physically possible, and a perfectly acceptable description of her eating habits. It's not like meat-eaters are automatically allergic to vegan meals and can't eat them until the day they decide to give up animal-derived foods entirely.

    What you mean is 'there is no such thing as being a vegan most days, as veganism is an ethical movement that's anti-cruelty and slaughter', which would have been fair comment, if she had not already carefully qualified her post by using "eat vegan".

    Also, I wouldn't call her a meat-eater. That's very misleading to anyone wanting to cater for her, who would imagine she was willing to eat standard fare, including meat and fowl. Pescetarian is much closer.

    Vegetarian for 10 years with open diary. Trying to get away from soy. Lost 90 pounds on MFP in 2015, maintained a year, then gained some back since summer. Getting ahold of myself again feels good! Add me if you'd like! I'm extremely dedicated to finishing this and keeping it off, especially having seen how easily it comes back!
