Vegetarian group. Kick-off WEEK 1

no def not related to TOM. I've literally haven't been logging since the 4th and have been eating anything I want. I didn't exercise much either. It's completely my own fault. I started back on track yesterday. I hope I stay on track too!

Just remember where you were when you started...you don't want to go back to that, if that's not motivation I don't know what is. Do you set any mini goals? If you don't you should. Say loose 5 more and treat yourself to a mani/pedi. 10 pounds go buy a new outfit...ect.
I can't use the reward system as I have so little to loose or possibly gain. I'm just trying to get my pre-baby body back. I've already got some awesome biceps and legs...it's the tummy that just won't go back. I am hoping for a tummy tuck next year. My ab muscles split when I was preggers and I have lots of excess skin (the one and only downside to having a kid :laugh: ).
:flowerforyou:

I think it's those gains and losses are what keeps me motivated, it gets easier to bounce back!

Where has CourtneyTree been? I haven't seen her post in awhile.

I've been thinking the same thing. Another vacation?

yea maybe.

speaking of vacations....I'm leaving for the beach tomorrow morning! I can't wait! My life has been a roller coaster this summer....I'm stressed out to the MAX. Vacation couldn't come at a more perfect time

I wish you could take me with you! lol. We're saving for a trip to Alaska...so no trip this year. :sad:

Yay!! I am so happy to see a Veggie Group!!!

Goal weight loss in lbs - 13 lbs.

# of Kids (or do you want kids)- Haven't thought that far ahead... I do have a beautiful cat named Audrey. She is four, and though I try to pretend I am not a crazy cat-lady, I sorta am:) We treat her like our child and she is spoiled!

How long have you been a vegetarian or vegan? Vegetarian for 2 years.

Age- 23

Anything else you want to share - I am so happy to see this group formed! I am new to the MFP, and have enjoyed reading everyone's post and look forward to reading everyone's successes! --I also look forward to writing my own:)

As Kid said...welcome! It's always great to see other veg heads out there. What prompted you to stop eating meat?
I've never eaten red meat so I can't say that I ever enjoyed it. I have eaten chicken and seafood...I still do eat seafood about 1-2 times a month. I don't eat eggs unless they are baked into something. I was a vegan for many years...but I love honey so I went back to being a vegetarian. My hubby and daughter both love meat (if only I could change their perspectives....not likely).
Best of luck on this journey. :flowerforyou:

Hey y'all. I haven't been on much lately...and neither have y'all lol. My daughter starts school tomorrow so it's been a bit of a mad dash getting everything ready and going to open house last night. I'll be happy when a routine is established.
How is everyone doing?
I haven't been running but twice a week instead of my normal 4-5 days. I'm such a slacker.
We're going to have a grill out this weekend...yum! My husbands friend just came back from Washington state and brought a huge salmon...so we'll be living off of that for a few days. Make some kabobs with the salmon and some veggies...it'll be yummy. If only I could pass up the beer...but I can't. I love my Guiness too much. :bigsmile: :blushing:

Welcome! Your daughter is super cute!

just stopping in to say hello! I haven't posted anything for awhile. I'm on a plateau, yuck. It could prob be bc I'm not exercising as much..guess I should prob get on that. Maid, I'm a slacker too lol no worries

rabbitapparatus welcome!

hey abr25

I'm not sure where the other girls went to that used to post on this thread. I am the last person to post n e thing, which was in aug and no one responded. Maybe try making a new thread? or maybe more ppl will join this one. It would be nice to have other vegetarians to talk to
