Good morning everyone! My name is Vida. I'm 32 years old, single mother to my 12yo son, live in Virginia, and I'm looking to start a vegetarian diet in the near future. I've joined this group to get some ideas on how to transition and get recipe/meal options. :smiley:

Aww! I can understand the pain and frustration that you're going through. Maybe changing your outlook is what's necessary. When I stopped viewing this as a "diet", and started viewing it as a "healthy lifestyle", it helped me make better choices and focus more on the big picture. Set smaller goals to reach the bigger…

I have been a bit lazy lately ... recuperating from having bronchitis and pneumonia ... every time I think I'm okay, I overextend myself and end up back in bed. SMH... 3 weeks and counting w/o a workout ... My appetite has slowly been coming back over the past few days so I've lost weight from lack of eating. Hoping to get…

I'm Vida and live in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia :smile:

I like what @Daddy78230 said! Taking a break every now and then, giving my body and mind a rest from being so strict helps me to renew and restart.

I enjoy the EAS Soy Protein: Vanilla flavor :smile:

I came across this article on my MSN homepage and thought it'd be interesting to hear the views of the group. :smile:

I try to eat the three square meals a day and have snacks in between, but, I too, am an emotional/bored eater ... so on the days I'm extra sleepy or stressing about something, my calorie intake rises ... smh

Thank you! I will absolutely do this.

HAHAHHA ... That's a hard reset lol

Yoplait Greek 100 Whip - Strawberry Cheesecake, Salted Caramel, Vanilla Cupcake Dippin' Stix - Apples w/ Caramel Bolthouse Farms Fruit Smoothies - MOST of the Flavors :smile: Chicken Tilapia ... that's what I buy the most of ...

THANK YOU ... I have been feeling like I might need to spread it out a bit.

That is one thing I didn't consider. THANK YOU!

Thank you everyone ... I do sometimes go over my calories so I will keep an eye on that. :smiley:

This isn't the most recent before and after but I went from 212 to about 190-200 in this pic w/ diet and little to no exercise ... the most I did was walking, I believe

I think I may need to up mine daily calories ... I usually am still hungry when trying to stay within my goal for the day and have been going above it lately. I'm 5'3"

I fell for it too! LOL Thanks for the extra push :smile:

Kierra Sheard and Travis Greene are heavily in rotation for me right now :smile:

I LOVE THIS IDEA!! I will hopefully be able to implement this recipe this week.

Hi! I'm 5'3" and looking to lose 10-15 lbs ...

Crossword puzzles, word searches, a good book ... those are things that can help you mentally :smile:

I have been very interested in adding yoga to my daily routine, but haven't succeeded as of yet. Are there any particular videos that you can recommend?

I never accounted for the winter air and indoor heat ... thanks guys!

Glad to hear that it went away for you ... I will continue my water intake and hope that is the same for myself. if I'm seeing the same issue within the next few weeks, I'll probably put a call in to my healthcare provider. Thank you!

The responses that you all have posted are so inspiring! Thank you again!

Thank you everyone!:smile: :wink: :happy:
